Not all system are created equal of course. Others probably do it too, but my Volvos/Polestar will start accelerating as soon as you flip the turn signal to pass, making for smooth passing.

Also, booked a 'X3 or equivalent' with Enterprise, and they tried to give me a X2 at pickup. I know it's only one digit off to most, but these aren't equivalents to me. One's a tall 3er, and one is a Mini. Anyhow, the A5 worked fine.

Lots of good roads in and around Sedona to test the suspension.

Luckily at work, we've been getting in a lot of new vehicles so am getting to drive a lot of different makes & models. Doubt I'd do a CPO unit but haven't ruled out getting a low mileage ex-rental from Enterprise though I prefer new to a CPO unit. Will just have to wait & see. Just under 73K on the Golf right now, tires are in great shape, oil change not needed until April at this point, so no sense looking for another vehicle. Not against keeping a vehicle for 9 or 10 years as have done this previously. Hoping supply chains & inventory will be in better shape in 2024 as well as lower interest rates for used vehicle/new vehicles as will finance again for the first time since 1981. Won't be a cash deal next time around as I don't want to mess with the portfolio right now. And not sure I'd go the beater route like some do but it is tempting. With my luck, I'd pick up a real money pit and never hear the end of it. When I do mention looking for something different, the "Tucson situation" comes up, something I care to forget!!!

As for interest rates, that is a different game altogether. Some economists (Paul Krugman for one) believe that we will return to low interest rates in the foreseeable future. The good news is, my 401k has recouped a good deal of it's earlier losses. Knock on wood that trend continues.

The Acura's tires will be fine for the duration of the lease and beyond. If it's around, I'll probably go with the same Michelin's @28firefighter did for his fleet.

Then they let me know the shimmy/vibration was still present after rebalancing the wheels (not a surprise, since I told them they had been recently rebalanced) and that upon further inspection two of the wheels appear to be bent. So those will be sent off to a wheel shop for straightening.
Happy to have the issues addressed, but certainly frustrated at the cost to complete them, when I had figured the solutions would be more warranty-related.

RX 350 was mentioned earlier. One of my SILs has one. Both times I went to get in the front passenger seat, I whacked my head on the upper door sill.

I confirmed with my Acura salesperson that I am on the “reserve list.”

@breld - that also stinks; I know how annoying it is to buy a vehicle and almost immediately have to spend money on unanticipated repairs.
It is for sale. Interested? ;b
BaT write back and, as expected, asked if I’d go no reserve. I haven’t responded yet. I’m hesitant now since we are in December with a 30-yr-old RWD car.

Likewise with wheel straightening- just trade it😂

Hopefully, that means that inventory is normalizing.

I’d assume all of those things are selling your location data to undesirables until proven otherwise.
But if I hold out another year or so, the 2020 model RX350 comes into my wheelhouse.
If I was to make a move now, the main contenders would be:
2021 Outback XT
2020 RDX
2018-19 RX 350

The automatic park selection on the transmission also doesn't seem to work very well with the physical key. On mine, if you're in gear, you first turn the key to accessory mode, then the transmission shifts to park, and then a second later, it allows you to turn the key completely off and remove it. I suppose it has to be designed that way to prevent someone from removing the key while driving down the highway, but most cars with push button start and similar monostable shifters seem to handle it way better.
I finally got the check from the dealer to reimburse me for the sales tax I will have to pay when I register it (which I planned to do this Thursday, regardless). I'm still keeping the temp tag on until it expires because I won't get charged tolls so long as there's no permanent plate!

too bad they did not figure out a good process to do it, before rolling the concept out.

You’ve gotta find a way to keep that plate on your car. Cheating thieving states out of ridiculously priced tolls has to rank a close second to cheating on your 1040.
