Test drove Advanced this evening
Dealer in CA received about 10 2019s today, and got to test drive the Advanced. Very nice vehicle, drove nicely, decent power and transmission is great. Noticeable differences with adjustable suspension. Sound system is great! Will be my first crossover if I end of buying one. |
sorry but what a generic post. this says basically nothing
|
Where in California? |
In Sacramento. No worries, I think all the info about the car is out there, and I’m not a pro reviewer 😉. Someone was buying one of the 19s when I was there. |

Correct Roseville. Great test drive, decent amount of freeway and back roads to get a good idea of the car. Sales guy was very excited about the vehicle, but I knew more about it than he did 😉 |
how quiet was the ride? was it substantially quieter than the 2nd generation?
|
I never test drove the previous gen, but it sounded very quiet to me... and turned off music and fan at one point to check.
|
How was the acceleration? Huge difference between sport+ mode and eco?
|
Im coming from a 335D, so slower than that of course;), but I thought it was beyond decent for the type of vehicle, but Im not that familiar with crossovers in general. The transmission felt really good too. Definitely could feel a diffs in Sport+, noticeably tighter suspension and steering, and quicker throttle/transmission response.

And yes, Sport+ offers a noticeably more aggressive throttle/transmission/suspension mapping vs ECO. |

It seems like most sales people do not know much about the vehicles they sell, especially new ones. I used to be surprised about that, but now expect it.

My local Acura dealer had eight on the lot. Test drove a white with the espresso interior advance. The espresso was nice but a little too dark for my taste. I would get the parchment. Can not stress enough you need to test drive one. Pics and reviews do not do it justice. It is about the drive. It is just fun to drive. It handles great, quiet and has plenty of pep all in the comfort mode. Had to accelerate rapidly to merge on the interstate and has the power. The panoramic roof is a winner. Drove it at 11 am on a hot day with the shade wide open. No heat and was not overly bright. Must be tinted for heat reduction much more than our Lexus's. Got home at noon and we went out and slid the shade back in my Lexus ES and was overwhelmed with the heat and brightness and shut it immediately. Salesman during the drive said make a u-turn here which I did. Turning radius is incredible. I am 6:4 and had plenty of head and leg room. Alex on Auto in his review stated about the only negative was rear headroom. I sat in the back. Had to move the seat up but had plenty of headroom in the back. Acura hit a 575 foot home run. My only concern is gas mileage. I had 12 miles on trip A which I put 8 on. Half were on the highway. MPG registered 10 mpg. Really want to hear what others are getting!!!
