Which Acura model should I get ??
Hello to all car experts here
I am currently driving a Mazda CX-3 all wheel drive. I am contemplating getting an Acura with automatic. I don't mind to get a second hand one to minimize my costs. But due to my job nature, I prefer to have a hatchback or something similar to move computer equipment from my office to anywhere in Lower Mainland.
May I know which model and year would you recommend ??

something older... RSX auto
something newer.. RDX AWD... 2015 TECH models can be had for about 30k.
The older RDX's with Turbo are smaller, but i would avoid.
The ZDX is weird, but it doesnt drop in price compared to the equivalent MDX
the RLX are pretty good deals. .they are ACURA flagship models and 2014/15 models can be had in the low 30k.

if going with RDX V6, then there really aren't any differences between 2013 and 2015.
2013 Techs are now closer towards $25K, but then again, you can also buy a 2012 MDX Tech for not that much more. Fuel economy is probably a lot better on the 3.5L RDX than the 3.7L MDX tho

Crosstour is kinda fugly ... but to each his own, maybe you'll like it. RDX, I heard owners say for some reason, it's a gas guzzler. You can probably do better if you want something like that ... Forrester? But if you have some time on your hands and don't mind a bit of paperwork and want to stick to Acura ... import this. You'll be the envy of many here!

I think it is standard for the 2nd gen. it will be on the mirror for the base model and tech / elite will have a screen

Which year of RDX should I consider to have better horse power than my Mazda CX-3 but with a price tag below CAD $ 30,000 ? All I need is rear camera and GPS navigation system if possible plus good gas mileage.

First gen RDX Turbo with SHAWD... will have everything above except... gas mileage... it is actually so bad... that i think most people regard it as third place behind E60 M5 and E92 M3
but as a performer.. no doubt.. fast and a performance oriented AWD system...

TSX wagon is USA only. Not avail in Canada unless imported as mentioned above. 2nd gen RDX is excellent value. ....3G TL is and will always be my fave.

Lets not get carried away here lol its bad for a turbo 4 cylinder but not anywhere close to those two gas monsters.
2013-2015 RDX with tech can be had around 27-30k depending on year package etc. I believe they have cylinder deactivation which supposedly really helps on highway mileage

What's wrong with your current vehicle? It seems to meet all your needs but I guess you want more power. Is there something that is steering you specifically to a second hand Acura?

My inlaws has a 2010 1st gen RDX and my parents has a 2017 2nd gen RDX
It's surprising that they're even called the same thing. The 1st gen is a lot more athletic, but it does ride pretty rough. Boost comes on pretty strong and fuel consumption is pretty bad considered it's a 4cylinder but with all that weight it's pretty normal. The 2nd gen RDX is soft, kinda reminds me of RX330.

Different platforms, actually. The ZDX was based on the MDX and the CrossTour is Accord-based.
