I've had my 2010 RDX for a week now and love it except for the ride quality. I find it hard to believe they softened it up for 2010. I will say this though, it corners like an expensive sports car. The car transmits every ripple in the road. It's not bad driving around town. It only feels harsh around 70mph and above. I'm amazed that the FM radio doesn't give song titles like XM does. I hate having to push the disclaimer button every time you start out. That disclaimer is for idiots. It insults me every time I start the car. Everyone I've showed my RDX said it must have cost north of $50k. Of course I say you're right. I got it in Pearl White and it looks stunning, inside and out. g

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 02, 2009 9:55 pm) I think you are right. The DIC says 35-37 lbs. The door says 32. I never thought my dealer would deliver a car without checking the tires. I'll report back in a few days after I drive my new, newer ride

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 03, 2009 4:25 pm) Finally got the RDX back from the wife and went on about a 30 mile trip. Lowering the pressure from a high of 37 down to 32 made a world of difference. While the ride is still tight, it is very comfortable. This thing corners like no car I've ever driven. It just stays flat in a hard turn. I love it! BTW, I've noticed that while 2 different gauges, one spring loaded and the other digital, said 32lbs. the TPMS said 34-35. I'm going with the gauges as the right measure. What do you think?

Replying to: geohov (Nov 07, 2009 9:10 am) I dunno about the gauges. The old rule of thumb was to take three of them, take a tire pressure with each, keep the one in the middle, and throw the other two away.  You'd think the TPMS would be very accurate; maybe your system uses the indirect sensors that aren't as accurate. Anyone? |

I'm happy to report that after putting more than 1,000 miles on the RDX, it has considerably softened the ride. I hope this doesn't mean that in 2,000 more miles it will be like mush
