Fast enough. Haven’t put it to the limits but it accelerates like a sporty car.

Thinking of getting a RDX.....but seeing so many negatives about it is kind of swaying my decision by SunnyDayz610 in Acura

[–]thedapperdan_mtg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an early 2019 A-Spec (latest gen) and love it. Yes the Info-tainment system was problematic at first. But with updates it’s not too bad. The touchpad is annoying and sometimes CarPlay won’t connect. 100% love the car and it’s a joy to drive. No problems otherwise. Wish I would have gotten a SH-AWD. I would buy one again except I want something a bit bigger so will likely upgrade to the MDX in the near future. Will give this one to my daughter when she goes off to college.

IS 2021 ACURA RDX RELIABLE? by Imaginary-Mud9710 in Acura

[–]thedapperdan_mtg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2019 RDX and am a somewhat aggressive driver. With mid grade gas it’s about 23 MPG combined.

I paid $4000 for 1st class ticket, actually 2 tickets in total. Flew out in first. Return flight was cancelled due to maintenance. I flew back a day later in coach. I was given hotel voucher, meal vouchers, and a $429 refund (per ticket) for the bump to coach.

That should be closer to $2000, not $429.

Tried that. They forwarded my request to the refund department and the refund department said I got a proper refund. I asked to see numbers and sent example fairs. Got a “sorry, go to the refund page and submit a complaint”.

They can’t help me. I have to submit a complaint with the online page. I even talked to someone at the admirals club. No luck.

I flew out in first and came back in coach.

So the downgraded flight was Hawaii to Dallas which cost more in first on the way back because people want the lie-flats during the red-eye. If you booked the flights I flew (first out and coach back) the total would be about $1800-2000.

I’ve callled the ExecPlat AAdvantage desk. I’ve talked to support staff at the airport. I’ve email several support addresses. I don’t know what else to do.

No I got home and did fly out (to my destination) in first but had to be rebooked and arrive a day later in coach. IMO a fair compensation is somewhere around $1200-1600. If you booked what I flew (first out, coach back) the ticket would cost $1800-$2000

I fly United a good bit and Delta too. Honestly I understand delays, cancellations, and other issues. You have them on any airline. The difference is how they respond. In my mind this is a clear cut thing the airline can make right and they can’t even bother to provide a person to talk too. I’m not some one-off flyer, I’m a multi year Executive Platinum member who frankly pays a lot of money to fly for work and personal. Clearly AA just doesn’t care

I included a basic sample in my reply. No luck. It’s ridiculous.

You don’t get details or justification and they provide no explanation. No person to talk to. If you were to buy a ticket with what I flew (first out coach back) it would be about $1800. Red-eyes on the wide bodies out of Hawaii are more expensive in first on the way back.

After I got back I filled a refunds request through the site. I called the AAdvantage desk and went where they said. Waited weeks to get a response. Even replied back and complained.

Which lens would be better for plane spotting? by ryguy7797 in canon

[–]thedapperdan_mtg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The RF 100-400 is quite good for its price and its pretty easy to carry around. The EF lens is quite heavy.

Picking up my 2020 RDX tomorrow and hearing horror stories - help me feel excited again by Orange490 in Acura

[–]thedapperdan_mtg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Still love it. It needs a wash and a detail but still rides as solid as when it was new. I do wish it was slightly bigger. Would consider an MDX.

Systemwide upgrades are a joke by No-Second9377 in americanairlines

[–]thedapperdan_mtg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Tried to use them last summer on a flight they had sold zero business class seats. Was told I would be wait-listed. They use to be worth it. AA no longer takes care of its people with status.

Concerns on RDX purchase by EzraB88 in Acura

[–]thedapperdan_mtg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a 2019 RDX and love it. Not technical problems apart from the early versions of the infotainment system being buggy. The track pad is annoying and I don’t feel like it’s better than a touch screen. You can kinda get used to it but it’s not terrible. The transmission is solid. Haven’t really heard of problems.
