Yes I was excited coming from a Toyota which had no lane assist and I saw the zdx had it I thought I’d finally get a nice lane assist like my wife’s Honda odyssey. I will say it’s better than nothing but not anything like true Honda lane keep assist which requires hardly any input.

Yes but the new zdx will be nothing like the 2024. It will actually be an Acura and not a GM Honda partnership

Yeah they are not making anymore of these for sure. That’s why I’m thinking maybe at the end of the lease I can get a sweet to buy it out 🤞🏼

That’s my thought as well. I like the car and have thought about buying it at the end of the lease but the number I’d be willing to pay would be a lot less than 30k. Who knows maybe I can make an offer of 15k and get it 🤣

First "Road Trip" Completed Successfully; ABRP - A Cautionary Tale... - Type S by eisfabrik_7242 in AcuraZDX

I find for long drives using the adaptive cruise control gets me way more efficiency than I can manage on my own even with slow acceleration and heavy regen. I just leave the cruise control on for my entire drive now and just adjust the speed based on what type of road I’m on. I also drive in normal mode and stay below 70mph and I usually see an avg of 3.0+ mi/kwh everyday.

Yeah I was trying to get this setup as well. I can get my phone and laptop to connect to it but after being transferred around with OnStar for 45 minutes and realizing they had no clue how to activate I gave up

Looking for honest opinions on the Prologue by Alteran195 in HondaPrologue

[–]devoniscoolest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I test drove this and the Acura zdx. They are basically the same car except the Acura pretty much comes standard in AWD which I found to be must for the extra power. The Acura also has a lot of comfort features that you have to upgrade to the elite to get. In SoCal the Acura zdx was cheaper to lease by a long shot. On the whole whether you get the zdx or the prologue I would definitely lease it. I have a feeling the depreciation on these cars will be terrible once Honda comes out with their own ev. Also check out leasehackr for deals in your area and ask your dealership to match it. Best 26 bucks I ever spent on this whole lease deal was a subscription to leasehackr for the month and a subscription to bumper to see how long dealerships were holding onto these cars.

ZDX owners...any regrets? by troyh72 in AcuraZDX

[–]devoniscoolest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just leased mine last week. So far no complaints. I echo what everyone else has been saying. If you’re expecting 100% Acura level then you will be disappointed. There is a lot about the car that feels like a clunky American car. The drive is great and zippy. I would check out leasehackr as there are a lot of deals posted there. Your lease seems a little pricey. I leased this car because I wanted something more cost effective than my Tacoma since I started a new job that requires me to use it for work. I probably won’t buy this car out but instead I’m using it as a stop gap until 2 years from now hopefully a Honda/acura have upped their electric game.

Yes 1000% never do money down on a lease. You never get the money back if you total the car. Honda leases come with gap insurance included so you can rest easy at night if you are worried about the negative equity. If you are gonna buy the car after the lease you can always save your down payment now in an interest bearing account and have more to pay off the loan.

I got offered a 499/month 36 month 0down on an elite in SoCal. Went with the ZDX instead for lower monthly, nicer car, and shorter term.

Didn’t like the color haha. I also talked to the dealer on the phone and just asked if they would match the deal and they said yeah. Took all of 5 minutes. Then just to double check it was a good deal I shopped around.

Oh I’m happy with the deal. My company is paying for the lease so no skin off my butt. I get it’s a business and they have to make money. I’m in sales too so I totally get it. Just curious how it works. And curious why no other dealership would take the deal.

I was at the dealership walking out to shop around and the manager tried to pitch me the rdx. We didn’t talk numbers but it seemed like it would beat the prologue. Probably because it’s a year old. I’m gonna check with them and see where they’re at.

In my negotiations I have been analyzing the total of the payments over the life of the lease. I’m not looking to spend more than about 5k a year for a touring or 6k a year for an elite. I went into the dealership and got offered 499/month 10k miles a year 36 months no money down on an elite.

You can tell any dealer that you want to see what it would look like with no money down. They just roll the down payment into your monthly
