My SUV has 240,000 miles so I'm in the market, but it's running fine so it's not urgent. I really like the looks of the RDX and how it drove, and had an RL in the 90's and loved it. Here's my problems with the RDX after visiting a dealer and I understand a refresh/redesign is probable for the 2016 model. What are the chances of these improvements?
1. My wife is 5'2". When she sat in the passenger seat she appeared to be sitting on the floor. We must have a height adjustment like you get with most vehicles in this class or below this class. This was a surprise;
2. Gas mileage - AWD the MDX is 18/27 and the RDX virtually identical at 19/27. Is this due to the MDX having direct fuel injection and/or variable cylinder management? I would like better gas mileage on a smallish SUV;
3. No rear air conditioner. The slot is there but it's empty. I frequently have rear seat passengers and would like a vent;
4. My son thinks LED lighting is very important.
Any info/guesses on next year? Item one is a deal breaker for sure, and item two is important; the others can be overlooked.
