A-spec Red seats??
Hi guys/gals - I'm new here. I have my eyes fixated on the 2019 Acura RDX A-spec package.. The two color combinations that I'm drawn to are the modern steel metallic exterior or the performance red pearl exterior. Both look sporty and bring out the A-spec accents really well. I'm more inclined towards the modern steel color as that matches the wheel color really well. However, I'm scared of the red leather interior. I dont like it and i feel it might be "in your face" kind of a thing when someone enters the car. Considering that the modern steel metallic comes only with the red leather interior, I feel disappointed that I may have to strike that out as an option. How do you guys feel about the red leather interior? Doesn't it feel kind of out of place in a luxury car?
I test drove a red a-spec package rdx this morning. I liked the drive and it felt really sporty/aggressive and very responsive. However, the suede material on the seat and the interior was a bit meh.. The sales guy said the A-spec package is trying to mimick the sportier versions of Acura and therefore they added the suede material for more grip on the seats, rather than have it as just leather.. I feel that was looking a bit off-putting. Do you feel that way, if you own a A-spec package or do you feel differently? Please let me know.. I love everything else about the A-spec package except the suede interior accents and the red leather seats.. I was even contemplating downgrading to tech package but it wouldnt give me the 3D surround sound that i liked.. so confused!

No offense intended here but it's YOU that has to like the color, not anyone else. I picked up the Espresso interior color because I like it so much.. some passengers have said they aren't crazy about it but they don't have to look at it every day Get what YOU like

I have it
I have modern steel metallic and red leather. My wife and i liked it better than the black leather and the red isn't that bright of red. It's more of a darker red and looks sexy as hell as well as keeping it's luxurious statement.

I like light interiors. Others like black, which I can’t stand. The Espresso is nice. The red is too loud.
TO ME.
To the OP, get in a few cars, sit in them, front and back, and see which one does it for you. I also suggest wandering the lot looking at colors. Don’t pre-decide.

I have an Apsec in majestic black pearl with red interior. I think lighting has a big impact on the shade of the red. It looks more toned down when the sunlight isn't directly hitting it but can look very bright at other times. I'm really happy with my color choice, I think the red seats goes really well with the black exterior.

I don't the responsive changes in the A-spec vs other models. The sportiness of the A-spec is all cosmetic. I didn't much care for it.
Did you try test driving one of the other models?

Yes I test drove the advanced also. Loved it as well.. I like the bigger wheels of the Aspec, and the design elements of it make it look sporty. I like that. However, on the interior, I like the advanced PKG more.. so it's a bit of a trade off one way or the other for me..

I went with Tech to keep costs down, but if I wanted better audio, etc., I would go with Advanced over A-Spec. Aside from the exhaust tips there's nothing else I like about the A-spec.

Do you like the other bits of the A-spec interior like the red gauges? You'll be spending more time looking at the interior than the exterior.

The one thing that I dont like about the Aspec interior is the suede material on the seats.. It makes it look a bit dirty IMHO because of the texture of that material.. thats the only thing.. other than that, I like everything else about the Aspec.. The advance pkg interior looks clean, luxurious and also has the heads up display which I was very impressed by.. so, i am definitely leaning towards the advance pkg..
One thing to consider is if you live in a hot area, the interior can get pretty warm with the pano roof. With all leather seats it will get pretty hot, whereas, suede will be much cooler on the rump.

I have a red interior in my BMW and love it. I get compliments all the time from people. I think the red in Acura’s looks just as good. I won’t buy another car now that doesn’t have a red interior.
