Good vid. Couple extra points. Aspec does not come with a spare tire. It has a hand air pump and a patch kit. Good luck if you’re off road and out of cell service range. Plus it pipes fake engine revving sounds through the front speakers to give the sensation of a powerful engine. Not a deal breaker, but kind of unnecessary. All the engines are a kick ass four cylinder turbo no matter what trim you get. Advance (which I own) also has an extra layer of sound damping glass in the driver and front passenger windows. Veryyyyyyy quiet inside. Also rear camera has its own washer to keep the lens clear.
Lastly..........get the SHAWD version which is available on all four trims. Super Handling All Wheel Drive (SHAWD). It’s only 2k more on all trims and an absolute must in all weather conditions. Don’t waste your money on the front wheel drive model.
Thanks for watching! All of these are great points!
What’s wrong with the FWD model?
That's interesting point I did not know about the extra layer of dampening glass. Might have to test drive an Advanced
Just leased a RDX Tech from McGrath of Libertyville. White with parchment interior.
Pretty cool! I got the Tech package before I saw this video and I don't regret it. For me, the main differences between the Tech and A-spec package are the bigger wheels and additional speakers in the A-Spec package. It would be nice to have but I don't need it. The drivetrain is the same on all packages so you're only paying for additional features or accessories on the higher packages. If I wanted to throw another $3k at the car then the A-Spec would be fine but I just didn't feel like doing that.
Just my opinion: As an owner of a 2010 MDX Advance, what really sold me on both Acura and the Advance model was the adaptive sport suspension. Being very sensitive to motion, the adaptive sport suspension is something I'd never want to give up.
Its totally worth the extra money for that.
Great job! Steve needs a raise!
As an owner of a 2021 RDX advanced package, the only appearance item I dislike are the wheels. I don’t want the boy racer wheels of the Aspec, but some polished aluminum wheels should be standard. I’d also like to see the power folding mirrors and the headlight washers that are on the Canadian elite package.
I own an Advance also and I agree with everything you say. At least we have a rear camera washer that the other trims don’t😂. You have to admit though, the rig is LOADED with features.
headlight washers 🤣😭
Got the 22’ aspec advance best of both worlds just perfect 🥰
As being an Owner of 2021 RDX (Adv. Package) and has 2022 MDX(adv.package) on same household I pretty much love the car.
But RDX:
1) missing power folding mirror
2) I am ready to pay hundreds on AcuraLink if they had dash cam built in.
3) remote engine start not included on adv.package also.
These three except number 2 are pretty much on every car now , I didn’t ask earlier to seller about above questions because overall i was liking it and didn’t came into my mind. But when i got to home with it I really was disappointed with those features not in adv. package (one and only top packages on Acura)
Thank you! If I lived in Chicago I’d come look for you because I’ve been wondering what the difference was between he advanced and A spec! I’m going with A spec
Great editing
Great video showing the differences. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
The RDX Tech. Trim is the sweet spot.
Need to update the video since Acura put the ASpec and Adv models together for +22. I wish Acura would bring back the Sport Hybrid powertrain or a updated plug-in version.
I love my RDX Advanced, even the wheels are fine. Got a 2019 dealer demo/loaner for $41,00.00 with 3500 miles. Had to jump on it. Yes, should have the folding mirrors and the remote start included. No problems other than twice the center screen got stuck. Only happened when using the App and the key fob to start it too many times. Just disconnected the battery for a quick fix. Love the stereo, plays my ipod nano just fine. Tires seem to hold their pressure forever. Also love the surround camera. Yes it's a lot of money at MSRP but you get a lot compared to the Germans. Looks sharp too in silver with the espresso interior.
I love these cars! I have the PMC Edition #278
It's comical how they try and push the A Spec as more aggressive than the base trim. It's exactly the same engine, transmission and suspension. Don't fall for it. Buy the base and save yourself 8k.
I bought the Tech package and I'm happy with it for the reason that you mentioned. I wanted the extra speakers and the nicer wheels on the Tech package. That's good enough for me. The A-Spec is nice but I don't need the extras when the drivetrain is the same.
But i want heads up display with a black headliner 😅
Thanks for the breakdown
You’re super happy that I asked that Steve 😂?
The base model works or the A spec works for me very nice vehicle.
Great explanation! I’m thinking about buying one.
Glad it was helpful!
Do any have rear heated seats ? I want my kids tush to be warm
Too during winter 😅
Do all trims have ambient lighting?
Great video. Thanks!!
What’s the price of the advanced compared to aspect?
Thanks for the video
What would be a good price otd?
What’s the engine break-in period for the 2021 RDX, 600 miles or 1000miles? Also, do you recommend oil change then or just wait for the maintenance minder?
Thanks!
There's a maintenance schedule that comes with the car, usually in the glove box. We recommend following that for the best performance.
I own a 2023 RDX A Spec Advance luxury & performance without breaking the bank
Does anyone have the aspec advance package? That's seems to be top of the top
How to replace recessed ceiling lamps
Great job,
Thank you.
MDX NOW 👍
MDX review is coming soon!
@@acurawestmont the first generation rdx is what is going to be in my garage
A SPEC is the one
Fog lights have become pointless with the advent of modern led lights. Additional lights were handy with halogen lights because there is a lot of times you need more light to see where you are going when you have the lights on low beams. Modern led lights put out so much more light and control of where the light goes.
The camera of the advance model is blurry. The resolution is bad. Is this fixable?
It shouldn't be! It's crystal clear on ours
The Advance package is well worth it.
A spec not have HUD?
A-spec all day looks mean with the black accents
Where’s the A-Spec Advanced Package?
I chose Tech package instead of A-Spec. I'm not a fan of racing stuff and plus the A-spec leather look so bad, like cheap leather.
The Aspec will hold the best value
I have driven a lot of cars the last few weeks, entry level Honda Accords have way way better leather seats.
Go check out a few used models, and you will notice the leather wrinkles pretty bad on the edges.
If your shopping options are either an Accord or an RDX there is something wrong with you. They're not comparable in any way other than they have four wheels and you can drive them.
A spec is best ,no even doubt
So, does base trim offer no navigation?
Nope
Technically, no but luckily with android auto and apple car play, its not exactly something you need to worry about!
A spec or Type S
If they release a Type-S Steve will be very happy.
That's funny how they lie about fuel economy. V6 was 27 mpg, so is super duper fuel efficient 4 cylinder that will not go past 100k miles. So sad.
aspec
Wow no spare tire on a 45k car ..
I don’t understand why that’s a thing
