Question 1

Is the 1st-gen Acura RDX turbo legal to import into the US?

Accepted Answer

Not yet—it hits 25-year eligibility starting in 2032. Until then, you can consider Canadian or local examples, or score a JDM twin via show-and-display exemptions if applicable.

Question 2

Which Acura RDX generation has the best performance?

Accepted Answer

Most enthusiasts favor the 1st-gen TB (2007–2012) with the K23A1 turbo engine and hydraulic steering. It's the most engaging to drive, despite newer models being faster on paper.

Question 3

Is importing an Acura RDX from Japan better than buying local?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. Japanese units often have lower mileage, better maintenance, and fewer sun or salt-related issues. Auctions regularly offer stock, high-grade examples unavailable locally.
