Design suggestions
Even with a 310 hp engine, this car gets an impressive 34 mpg when driving 60 to 70 mph when freeway driving . The 260 hp Maxima, we had previously, got only about 27 mpg on the same highways. However, I'd be a lot happier with a CVT transmission in this car. I can feel it shift. And the automattic following distance control activates violently when seeing a slower car ahead or ocassionly when scensing a slower car in an adjacent lane, while in cruise-countrol.
Not up to rivals' level of quality.
This is a nice car and has all of the latest safety devices. The car is much louder than expected and has transmission shift issues at 3/4 to full throttle. The only reason I purchased this car was the dealer was taking significant $$$ off. The local Acura Service Department, Hunt Valley Acura in MD, is the worst. Could not repair transmission issue, which they recreated, so just told me to bring it back when the transmission completely fails. I complained to corporate and received no response. I will never buy another Acura.
