I’m 16 now and I just got my acura rsx type s and i wanna build her down the road but i wabted to get some ideas from you guys to see what I should do yfm

So I test drove a 2017 TLX a couple weeks ago. It found that driving it was super choppy, like it would switch gears abruptly, kick and jerk when I was crawling through heavy traffic, and I didn’t always get the right power output when I’d press the gas, even when I was driving at moderate speeds.

My current car is a 2009 accord with around 190k miles which has been (generously, I believe) valued at $2,000 by Carmax. And driving that is a breeze compared the TLX I I test drove.

The dealership did their tests or whatever and said that the transmission was fine and that’s just sort of how it drives. I also did the Manual reset thing where you press the gas for 15 seconds abd then turn it off and on, and that didn’t seem to change anything.

I’m checking out a 2020 Tlx later this week and I’m wondering if that jerky gear shifting is a bug, or just a feature of the 9-speed transmission the TLX uses. I’ve heard it both ways so I’m curious what y’all think.

Thanks!

I’ve preferred Google Navigation for a long time for many reasons. However, I recently noticed Apple Maps is better integrated with the displays in my 2024 MDX. In addition to the console display, the turn by turn directions shows up in the driver display right in front of the steering wheel.

How many Acura owners use Apple Maps versus Google in CarPlay? Is that the same as Android phones being better integrated with the car?

In the early days, the quality of maps and directions was much worse on Apple Maps than Google . I was once led to a freeway entrance in San Diego that had been bricked over in a bad neighborhood. It seems better today for simple things. What is the consensus on Apple vs Google for my Acura ? Thanks9

I need help please… my alternator it’s new and working at 14.30V and my battery it’s new tested already by AutoZone, but the battery it’s not charging at all… the negative don’t give continuity with the engine and the battery for example… someone have idea how resolves this trouble.. I need help

Hi all,

So I think this one Acura dealer is BS'ing me. They claim the 2023 RDX Platinum Elite A-Spec (A-Spec Advance in the US I believe) with 60k km (37k miles approximately) is "too new" to be Acura CPO. I tried to dig further and got a response that bumper to bumper and powertrain warranty are still in effect, due to the mileage and year of the vehicle. That doesn't make sense because as it is the mileage for a 2023 MY is already higher than average, so one would think they'd try selling it with CPO status. Maybe it's just not worth it to them? They didn't even offer to do CPO by paying extra. Mind you I didn't push for that, yet.

Meanwhile, there's another Acura dealer with 2022 Platinum Elite A-Spec and A-Spec vehicles respectively with 30k km (18.6k miles approximately) or less AND they are being sold as CPO.

What gives? Has anyone else come across this and gotten a logical explanation? I'll tell you right now I'm willing to go for CPO just because apparently it's a win win and no brainer from what I've seen on this subreddit.

Prices for analysis purposes:

2022 RDX A-Spec CPO: 44k CAD (32.1k USD)

2022 RDX Platinum Elite A-Spec CPO: 47.5k CAD (34.7k USD)

2023 RDX Platinum Elite A-Spec Factory Warranty: 46.6k CAD (34k USD)

The news has finally been released about the upcoming ADX that will join the lineup in 2025. What features would you love to see in the new model?

Has anyone replaced the chrome surround grille? Had my sis borrow the car and she backed up too much or I guess drove up too much forward into the wall. Luckily the bumper didn’t crack or get scraped up since it was pppfed but it did flex it and the surround grille is bubbling/dented.

Is it a simple pop in and out with tabs or do I need to remove the whole bumper?

I feel so stupid for asking this as i thought this would be an easy lookup. But I can't seem to get a straight answer.

What size socket size will i need for the lug nut is it 21mm?

What are the bolts for the caliper bolt and the guide pin is it 14mm and 17mm? for both front and rear?

Anyone have a list of things to change and work on for a 2020 acura ilx that's about to hit 100K mi?

I’m doing an entire belt and alternator change and I don’t want to remove the wheel to get to the serpentine belt. I have no experience with cars.

Took my 2008 RDX to my local shop and told has a leaking differential seal and axle seal. Surprising because I don’t see any dripping etc on the driveway where I park it. Going to put me back $1100.

Car drives fine. 178k miles.

What happens if I push this repair off 6 months or so? Can I just watch for some warning signs or would my axle break suddenly or my transmission burn out suddenly?

Wondering if I lucked out with such a good car without any major repairs until now. No engine or trans issues. Changed an alternator a few years ago back and that’s it. Is this the first of a series of costly repairs on a car this age?

I have a 2019 RDX and I find myself doing this a few times a day.

Acura ADX

I noticed that Acura is selling 2025, integra built by Honda performance division, I was wondering if anyone has bought theirs yet and if they got any colors/livery options, and how has it been?

My ILX just hit 125000miles and I think it needs some major repairs. It creaks and makes a lot of suspension noises while driving and has some paint damage throughout the car. Is it worth spending the 3ish k to get it fixed or just buy a new car

I'm planning my first (somewhat) long drive next week. In total I'd be driving ~120 miles that day (100 miles there and back, plus driving within the city I'm going to). As the title suggests, I drive a 2007 Acura MDX. My Jiffy Lube sticker states my next change is due in 194000 miles, and I'm at 192000 miles and my oil life says 20%. Again I haven't driven that far for that long before and want to make sure my car is good for the longer drive or if I should get a change before the drive.

Hi, I will buy an ‘24 Acura Integra next month (haven’t decided if base trim or A-spec) and I have a question, I love the way the car looks and I plan to keep it for at least 6+ years but I was wondering how good is this brand when it comes to keeping its value? From google it seems to be like they hold strong for a few years, but I wanted to verify with the people on this sub, thanks and sorry if it is a silly question

Curious if anyone has wired their dashcam into their fuse box and if so which make/model harness you used?

Hi I recently bought a 2020 mdx and I have been hearing the second row seat rattle and squeak over bumps it really annoying and I wonder will it be under warranty or I can fix it on my own

One of my good friends is looking for a first car and really wants an SUV that can go off-roading for under $9,000. I recommended him the 2nd and maybe 3rd Gen Acura MDX cause I remember seeing some off-roading builds for the 2nd Gen MDX, are they actually good off-roaders or not?

Hi, last week I was driving my 2018 Acura RDX (which I have only owned three years- bought it used) and it started to severely jerk when I'd try and drive it. I took it to the dealer I bought it used from and they told me I need a new transmission and it would cost $5,800 (that is with an "discount" from corporate Acura). The folks at the dealership told me they were so sorry this happened and its not something they usually see. Given the age of the car, how well I have maintained it since I have owned it, and those comments from the dealership I feel that Acura should cover more of the costs. I have a little over 103k miles on it. My dashboard lit up with numerous warnings when this first occurred. Below are the comments from the inspection as well as the DTC report. I feel given the age of the car and how well I've maintained it that I should not need a new transition on a 6 year old car. It is pretty much undrivable at this point. Would like any feedback/thoughts about how I can respond to Acura to cover more of the cost to repair or anything else that would be helpful to know/any insight. Thank you!
