Hi All, I put the post below on the 3rd Gen Forum and someone suggested I ask the same question here.

Keep my 2017 AWD, Tech w/AcuraWatch or get the 2020?

Hi, I am curious about any thoughts from someone who has gone from the 2nd gen RDX to the 3rd Gen ( or decided against it ) My lease is up in August and the buy out is $24161; I have a little under 25k miles on the car. I had a 3rd gen as a loaner for a few days when mine was in to get some rodent damage remedied so it was a good test drive. The new design has some advantages inside, like the extra storage and the back seats laying flatter when down, and the ride seems quieter. The infotainment set up though was still giving me pause after a few days. I did get the hang of the touch pad technique but combined with the smaller fonts on the screen, I was still having to often make multiple attempts to get what I wanted; seems distracting. My 2017, although dated looking, is much easier to see information at a glance with the two screen set up and the car runs and looks like new. A minor consideration is the substantial amount of music I have put on the hard drive. I think I can get the 2020 ShAWD with tech for around $36k which was the cap cost on my 2017.

Anyway if anyone else had or has a similar choice to make, I'm interested in your thoughts.
Thanks
