  How many of you are former Acura owners?


Got my EX35 about 6 weeks ago (love my EX35)...and even though I come to this forum often...I still am active in Acurazine...the Acura forum. It seems like there are a lot of former Acura owners moving over to Infiniti. It's just not the cars...it's the dealerships and service, too. And it makes me wonder how many Infiniti owners have made the move to Acura. Is it just like the tide coming in and going out...or is Infiniti the hot brand, now?

i looked at some acuras, but I'd never buy one, especially after dealing with the adjacent honda dealership.

I also frequent acurazine as well because I drive an acura TL. The ex 35 is the wife's car. My wife and myself noticed the difference between all the car dealerships we visited. But that could be attributed to how young we look, they don't take us seriously... It's happened many times now, but it's funny when we grill the car sales man on features of the car They then realize we're serious prospects.

Guilty as charged. I owened and Acura RSX, traded it for a TSX, looked at a RDX and ended up buying the EX35. It certianly wasn't for the dealership or service department, who have all jerked me around from the beginning. I prefered Acura's service and sales departments, but I LOVE the EX35. I'd gladly buy another Acura if they made the car I wanted. Bottom line, I love my car, but hate the Infiniti experience.

I still am!! I own an 06 RL, and love it. My wife chose the EX to replace her 06 Murano.

My last car was a 2004 TSX. I love my new EX. The tsx was fun, but the quality gap between honda and acura seems to be dwindling.

Beside the MDX, (maybe the RDX, too) the rest of the lineup has gotten significantly uglier, especially the new grill, to the point where they seem cheap. I liked the last gen RL even if it didn't sell like gangbusters, and the SH-AWD is great. But infiniti's are just much more "upscale". Acura's really are starting to feel like tarted up hondas.

another factor would be the lease rate on the ex right now vs everything else in it's market, or even in general. lease rates have literally sky rocketed for nearly all vehicles and only "specials" like the ex are still getting decent lease rates.

we looked at a rsx as well and they wanted $5500 down and $650/month payments for a comparable model. if that can be true...much less hp for one.

anyway, we got ours for $900 down and $477/month for a 15k 39 month lease with premium, nav, lux.

Had an 04 TSX and loved it. My acura dealership had one of the best service centre.

Seriously considered the RDX, but did not like the turbo lag, as well as a few other finishes on the RDX.

After a test drive of the EX35 ... the RDX lost its appeal.
