How bad is the torque steer on this version of the '19 RDX FWD?

Thanks in advance.

I have to know what car brand is in your garage now.

I thought you were dead

I am The Walking Dead.. errr, the driving dead! I have a Lincoln MKX at right at end of lease, coming back to Acura but in an RDX this time.

Torque steer is non-existent in the SH-AWD. If you need to ask the question...

kurtatx

I would hope so. But he's asking about FWD.

I would imagine there is some

Wander

I got that. And I agree that with up to 270hp and 280 lb-ft going to the front wheels, there's likely to be some torque steer.

But IMHO anyone who knows enough to ask about torque steer, and who is at all interested in performance, should get the SH-AWD. Whether or not it will ever see snow. SH-AWD helps tame understeer as well as torque steer. Just $0.02

I know the SH-AWD takes care of TS. I merely asked how bad it is with the high torque and HP on the 2.0T on the FWD.

Wander

No insult intended. Sorry if it came off that way. I'm not sure you're going to get a good answer, aside from driving a FWD yourself. "Bad" is highly subjective. And it will depend critically on how the car is driven.

No worries, I am getting an FWD anyway. I expect the TS will be as bad as any other FWD.
