New to the Acura brand. 2021 RDX A-Spec SH-AWD

Thanks for the add. I'm new to the Acura brand, as the title states. I bought a new to me RDX A-Spec SH-AWD in Apex Blue a little over a week ago after the test drive left me thoroughly impressed with the ride quality and fit and finish of the interior. I had seen a few of these vehicles riding around town and loved the look of the vehicle. I was a long time Audi enthusiast, but was really looking for a vehicle that had better longevity and lower cost of ownership. I modified all the Audis I've had, with the last being a C7 S6 with upgraded turbos, tune, wheels, suspension, pretty much everything you can do and still maintain daily drive-ability. That said, after I test drove the RDX, I did a search online for an Acura forum to see what RDX owners were experiencing with their rides and found Acurazine. I'm interested in some possible modifications, but nothing too crazy. Curious about Acura's stance on tuning and whether they are as stringent as Audi was with voiding warranties as well as whether the available tunes offer the substantial power gains that tuning my previous Audis did. Is the juice worth the squeeze?

Thanks for reading and I look forward to interacting with you all. I will add some pics next time I get it cleaned up. Florida rainy season doesn't comply with us car enthusiasts.

Welcome to Acurazine! Were you considering any other brands, aside from Acura, before you decided on the RDX?

Yes. I was looking at the Lexus NX300 F Sport. It was nice, but the Acura just felt more like a German car, where the Lexus still retained some of the Toyota feel.
