2020 RDX Aspec lasted 6 weeks!
So, I traded in by beloved 2011 MDX with 130K on it for a 2020 RDX Aspec. I wanted something a bit smaller as the kids are all grown and gone. The wife still has her 2013 RDX with 90K and it’s been a dream. I was out and about and saw a 2022 RDX Aspec CPO with SH-AWD on a dealers lot and said what the hell. Let’s take it for a ride and see if there is any difference in the mid production upgrade. Well 3 hours later, the 2022 came home with me. This car is so much quieter and with the SH-AWD, it handles like a dream. Anyway, just a story of the shortest time of ownership I’ve ever had (7 months with a 2014 Honda Crosstour that the wife hated…lol).

Interesting. I dont have any noise complaints with my 2020 aspec sh-awd, but I am not so sensitive to road noise. My next car likely will not be Acura.

Why do you say your next vehicle will not be an Acura?

Fair enough and I actually really agree with you. They've been making a series of really stupid mistakes and choices in the last decade that IMO started when they decided to put the ZF9 in the MDX/Pilot.

Oh sorry to hear that! I was reading this article saying that the car build quality has gone down since 2020 (Covid) across the industry. I have a family friend that has a Lexus RX (their second one), and they had a few issues since the beginning of 2023. They mentioned that their first RX was flawless and zero issue and this one that's built in 2021, they are already experiencing a few issues. Hope this gets resolved for all car companies but for Acura and Lexus as quality, reliability and resale value are their strong points.

I guess quality for all recent cars went down hill. I had 2001 CL, 2008 RDX, and now 2020 RDX. 2008 I had for 11 years and it has practically zero issues. 2020 RDX quality seems down.

My 07 RDX Tech was the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I still regret selling it 10 years later.
