I never thought this day would come, but after almost 2 years with my Z (and only 16,456 miles), I am highly considering trading for an RLX Advance. With used RLX prices being so favorable, I can get into one for cheaper than my monthly payment on the Z.
Pros:
RLX has a nicer interior with more updated tech. (starting to get bored with the limited tech features in the Z. Feels so 2009)
RLX offers the level of luxury I'm looking for (ZDX is more sporty)
Lower monthly payment (as stated earlier)
I can see myself still driving an RLX 10 years from now (can't say the same about the ZDX)
More rear seat room in the RLX (and heated rear seats)
Jewel Eye headlights
Cons:
Bland exterior styling in the RLX
No SH-AWD (I still have mixed feelings about P-AWS)
No panoramic roof
Several TSBs on the RLX (ranging from suspension issues, to software problems)
My ZDX is the last model year (and a minor refresh) which makes it rock solid....RLX is still relatively new and like I said before has lots of known issues
What it all comes down too is the fact that I've fallen in love with the RLX's interior and wish the ZDX would've been updated with the dual touch screens like all the other Acura's. Hell I even considered downgrading to an Accord Touring at one point and cutting my payment in half. Sad that our $50,000 Z is lacking in features. Thoughts...
