Hi all,

Just bought a 2015 RDX w/Tech package. Loving it so far.

Looked at CX 5's, RAV 4's CRV's all of which I could have got a model year newer for similar bucks but of course none of them have that sweet V 6. That is what sold me in the end.
Love that power. My other car is 997 C2 so e en though the wife will drive it mostly, when I do drive it I want something that can hustle down the road.

Also looked at BMW X3's and Audi Q5's but in the end the out of warranty repairs that can be required on those scared the hell out of me.

Mine was lady owned with only 58000 kms. (36000 miles) and is like new. Silver and with no accidents, scuffs or scratches anywhere. She really did a remarkable job caring for it. Also has the full documented service history which is also nice to see.

My current DD is an Acura TL Type-S NBP 6mt, but the wife has an '17 RDX Tech.
Were waiting for the new 2019 one to release and upgrade

Got the fronts from a guy on 911 Buy and Sell (facebook) and ordered the rears from 1010tires.com
Checked against tire rack.com and there was virtually no difference once exchange rate was calculated.

Bonus was the border guy waved me through. No duty or tax. It was my lucky day. btw I was honest and told him exactly what I paid.
