Perspective

While some here complain about the RDX interior, nav, etc, I thought perhaps this Aston Martin DB9 review would help us keep some perspective:

Driving Top Gear?s most overrated car: Aston Martin DB9

That interior of DB9 appears fabulous to me. But I don't see the point of comparing the interior of a CUV costing $40k to a sports car costing somewhere $200K ???
Thanks for the perspective though.

The point is that they are complaining about the shabby interior and that the nav sucks. Sound familiar?

there is no one perfect car.
the writer stated that the V12 engine made up for the shoddy interior, which was livable.

How does the RDX compensate for it's shoddy interior?


its also a 2004 DB9 that he's writing about

That's true too. Haters will always hate. No matter what. For them even a true sports car will either be underpowered or under equipped or not have the right handling or fun or comfort. The buyer needs to choose what he is comfortable paying for and what he can live with for the next 5-10 years.

I realize what you are trying to do by putting this here, but there still is no comparison between an rdx and aston martin. Rdx should be compared to its' "peers" and so should the aston martin.

No car is ever perfect and depending on the price, manufacturers have to make a choice of where to cut and where to paste. I have never been in an aston martin, so I can't really complain about anything, but with this being a 2004, I don't think ANY nav systems were good in 2004, while Acura's system is by far one of the worst in the industry compared to other 2016 vehicles.

You are never going to have everyone happy though, for some people a V6 engine and smooth ride are HUGE bonuses in the RDX and good enough to consider buying one, while for others (like myself) it just does not cut it anymore.

it's the inherit design flaws of people.
people will always complain about something.

whether it be about work or something mundane as a cars interior, we'll always have those certain few that complain.


which; there is nothing wrong with that, but it also identifies the bad attitude of complainers and whiners.

lol, if I hear an OUNCE of complaint or whining, I'm not hiring you
