Modern Steel AWD A-Spec

Picked up this batmobile last night. I love the fact that I haven't seen any on the road yet. SF/Bay

Sure, ended up 2k under MSRP, which seems to be the best deal in the area. I had competing offers, with the second lowest at $1200 off.

My Accord is MSM, and it still holds up looking good after 4 1/2 years.

Nice! I'm fairly new when it comes to these things, but where did you end up getting it tinted? Dealership vs body shop? What specifications do you recommend, and how much ballpark $ should I expect?

Tinting the front two windows should be pretty inexpensive. I think I paid about $140 but you could certainly get it done cheaper (but you get what you pay for). I took mine to a reputable local tint company who had also tinted my '08 TL. I would shop around and read reviews on your local options. It is definitely worth the extra cost to get a higher end product.

Yes, but with a slight tinge of regret. The RDX A-spec is fine generally, but I miss the 360° camera, heated rear seats, and the puddle lights on the TLX. The front seats on the TLX were also a bit more comfortable, especially with the thigh extensions.

Furthermore, our new RDX has a slight dent in the front bumper, a scratch on the leather on the steering wheel, plus a poorly installed front passenger seat which causes it to wobble whenever the car turns a corner. We didn’t notice these issues until we got it home from the dealership. They’re going to try and resolve these problems on Tuesday. *fingers crossed*

Thats disappointing to hear. Hope the dealer will right the quality issues!
