Just signed up, and picked up a 2016 RDX Tech yesterday. Happy to be back in the Acura family - I once had a 1.7 EL, but lost that in a divorce Upgraded from a Murano that was costing me too much to keep on the road.
Congrats and thanks for posting the pic. Even though I own one myself, I haven't tired of looking 2016 photos. Looks like you got the chrome door trim as well- nice!
Congrats! Yes more pictures please, and with folded mirrors as banana13 has asked.
I have a favor to ask, can the current owners tell me the width of Rdx with the mirrors? I only found one old thread that someone said was 87". If that is acurate, that would leave me with only 3" total (1.5" each side) to drive Rdx into my garage. Yes I would love to have white with black interior which they don't offer in U.S., but the width is the main issue that holds me back from getting a 2016 Rdx.

Yes, we got home with our RDX and I thought it would not fit in the garage. I had not even considered that problem before. It's a tight fit, but there is probably about 1.5-2" to spare on each side. After 2 years, I still have to be very careful.

Wish my darling had been careful
$700 worth of custom work on the right front bumper and garage door frame
Only ONE of the factors influencing our decision to keep or trade at lease end...under two months to go. BTW, we have about 3" on either side; but the driveway doesn't allow an easy approach...a three-point maneuver is indicated!
I have not measured, but I don't think the RDX body is a lot wider than our previous cars (never had a SUV before), but I'm guessing that the side mirrors are larger and stick out further. Power folding mirrors would probably help.
now how does this mechanism work? does it have a button , or do you need to configure the setting through the car settings? can you set it to where it folds automatically when in park??

There is a button on the drivers door near the power window controls. I don't believe there is a setting to enable it automatically - at least I haven't found it.
I like the idea of power folding mirrors, and am also frustrated that the US models from Acura/Honda don't offer them. And one of the vehicles in my family stable actually has power fold mirrors - although it's probably the one that needs them the least. My son's '08 Mini Cooper has them! The way they work is when you turn the mirror adjustment knob to either the right or left, if you turn it one click further in either direction the mirrors fold in. Now, as to WHY the Mini has power fold mirrors? I'm guessing so you can run thru drain pipes like in the Italian Job - or something like that.

The alley that led to our Rome hotel was so narrow, ANY car needed to fold in the mirrors! Might save a scooter-pilot's elbow! Heck, on some of the round-abouts, I wanted to fold in our Fiat mirrors just to keep from scraping the adjacent vehicles while in motion!!!

I was wondering the same thing (automatically).
Interesting that I never really considered this feature to be necessary, but the more I think of it, I would LOVE having folding side mirrors. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally ran into our MDX mirror when scooting between the cars in the garage.
Love the folding mirrors. Can't understand why that's not available in the U.S. Are parking spaces smaller in Canada?
US does have folding mirrors, just not powered (at least my '15 does). The sales guy showed me how they work. Almost felt like I was about to break them. Folding them by hand is rather inconvenient, but we do have the option.
