  • Originally bought my 1997 Honda Civic EK Hatch for a daily, but then I went race car with it, so now I bought this 2007 Acura RDX for a daily. This is a base model. AWD with a 2.3L engine turbocharged making 240hp and 260tq. Gets 18mpg city and 23mpg highway. Great for driving around town and taking it out camping or mild off road.

      Its a Honda, they dont start breaking in until they hit 100k. Get the timing belt replaced and you got yourself a brand new car. I had a 1990 Accord LX 2 door 5 speed that had 360k+ when i sold it, and it ran like a champ, i wish i never sold it, the 2 doors are hard to find anymore. Mine was black, with full custom black interior with black leather seats, 18in black with chrome lip BBS look alike wheels, and 25% tint on back windows and rear windshield, 35% tint on front driver side and passenger windows, and 50% on front windshield, and was never pulled over for it. I loved that car, i wish i never sold it.

    Tow package is the top in the rdx model

    • @jayasmrmore3687
      @jayasmrmore3687 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rdx can only tow 1500 lbs. What it’s known for is not high towing capacity so it’s fine. It’s known for luxury driving and moderate off-roading capacity. So doesn’t make it a bad car.
