Uh, did you fact check anything in your article before posting?

The V6T is in the pipeline for the Acura brand, not the RDX.

The Seats are 16 way power adjustable for the driver and passenger, with 4 way lumbar support.

The RDX started in 2007, not 2012.

The engine has 40% more LOW END torque, not over all.

It is not a…

Small and all-wheel drive. My wife’s ‘09 is a hoot to throw around corners.

“The last generation RDX was predictably boring and devoid of personality. Acura hopes a sharper design language will pull buyers back to the RDX.” The subjective part of that, I’ll subjectively agree with, but not sure what you mean by “pull buyers back” as the current RDX is the best selling RDX ever. So it’s more…

Honestly, the Chevy Volt is a pretty good option here. It’s not manual, but it’s a heck of a car that accelerates quickly, it quiet as a church on Tuesday, and can swallow a ton of cargo with the hatchback. Gen 1 is a bit better for tall folks (i’m 6'4") but both generations can work. It’s worth a test drive.

Yeah..the paradigm of having a dedicated station just for charging will change. Anywhere people spend 30 minutes to an hour or more will work. And most sites have adequate electric service for 10-20 L2 chargers, they just need to wire up the parking lot.

Even as a single person I had multiple cars, so adding an EV to the fleet made a ton of sense when we got married. We initially purchased a Leaf for my wife’s commute, which was about 30 miles round trip. She now works even closer to home (she often walks), so I wind up using the Leaf a lot more. Our long-range…

I have a 335i and my wife drives an i3. The i3 is my favorite to drive around town on the weekend. The costs for “fuel” for the i3 is about 2 cents vs the 18 cents for the 335.

Exactly.

Wow is this a dumb take. You can charge your EV at home. You can’t fill up your gas car at home.

When searching for manual cars on autotradecarpediaweb.shh.org or whatever I always look for the “P” of “Please keep looking” for a different example.

our professor was (and still is) an insufferable asshole who demanded changes without understanding how they actually affected the car and gave unrealistic deadlines.

Likewise about the body panels, but what caught my eye first was the hood gap. Maybe it’s just not latched properly.

lol

I recommended a used i3 for like 20 grand while they wait for the Model 3 to get up to speed as far as production and quality.

Having previously run fixed ops at an Audi dealer, I can assure you the top doesn’t work because of something much more complicated and expensive to replace than “a faulty sensor” as the seller claims. Failed solenoids (yes, plural) to drive the top are a nasty gremlin, and take several hours to replace. If one goes,…

I suspect this will go down in CP flames, but I would point out that $60k is actually the cheapest I’ve seen one listed since they became U.S. legal. Not a bad deal for an Alfa collector looking for something rare and different.

I generally agree with you on the enthusiasts not buying cars new being a problem, but the manufacturers keep putting the manual on the trim/engine that we don’t really want. Do you really want the manual on the engine we have complained is too low on power since it was introduced? If a manual is offered for a model,…
