Rogue seems like decent value for the money, why the hate?
Maybe i am jaded af, have spent a lot of time in random rental cars including the Quashai or whatever the fuck (had that in Europe), the ROgue, and every hyundai imaginable.
If you debadge all of them and i drove any of them back to back i literally have no idea what i am driving. Maybe the Hyundai i'd know as it has a very distinct slow downshifting process when you rev it high.

Wasn't your budget 30k all in before trades? If your budget is actually 40k+ then you have way better options than a turd of an RDX.

It was. The Fiat is probably worth $4k or so. The 2016 has a lot more options along with more factory warranty so decided to pony up a little more for that.
I have to look into the X1 but I am under the impression that if we want a similarly equipped X1, it would be a bit more than what we want to pay.
You guys are right...worth looking at if I am willing to pay more. We are holding off until early 2018 so the prices may drop more (The Fiat isn't going to drop more than it already has)

2018 RDX totally not in the cards $$ wise.
The cheapest daily rental X1 is at the very upper end of what we want to spend. I can't say I am a fan of automatic BMW tranny. Know a couple people who had tranny issues with BMW and we plan to keep it a while so I want to avoid that.
As for the $1200 coupon, when I am ready to roll, I'll PM you Jason, we can work something out.

Wife may think elbows on the new CRV may be too pointy. She hates appliances shopping and car shopping.
We were at Markham Honda a couple of weeks ago and got the classic car salesman treatment and she is soooo over looking at cars. I feel her mind is kinda made up. RDX isn't the worst thing as it is much better equipped vs her original HRV.
About a month ago, Cadillac had a lease special for their new XT5 small SUV for low $400s a month for a 2 year lease. A not so close friend picked one up and was raving about it. Would have been cool to be driving that around with no commitment after 2 years. Could have been making side coin driving as Uber Black.

Yup....its ok. We don't drive a lot. 10,000 kms a year at most. This is just for taking junior to doc appointment duties, etc.
Going to hold out as long as possible as well. Hoping that the 2018 will be out and this current model will drop more $$$$

RDX hasnt taken premium since the turdbo ones. The 3.5 in the new ones take regular gas. Only the Honda/Acura GDI's recommend premium now.
I actually quite enjoyed my 16 RDX. No issues with it, V6 and 6At were bullitproof, it was roomy and had a decent navi and stereo, etc. Kinda loud on the highway, but thats my only complaint.
