There are two powertrains to appeal to your demands, and three ways in which they're packaged. A 206 horsepower, 2.4 liter, four-cylinder includes an industry first: an eight-speed dual clutch transmission, which also includes a torque converter. Go this route, and you'll love the tune this 2.4 liter sings, especially as you get higher into the rev range. Next up, Acura offers a 290 horsepower, 3.5 liter, V-6, paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission-paddle shifters included. In both powertrains, Acura has included P-AWS, or Precision All-Wheel Steer. You may be a law-abiding commuter, but for the times when you need a quick and accurate response (without losing control), P-AWS is there for you. The same 3.5 liter and 9-speed transmission can also be had with SH-AWD, or Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. If you're an AWD junkie, but feel the need for sophistication, sport, and true ability, this final setup is for you. Each setup is incredibly responsive, amazingly inviting, and refreshingly daring. Additionally, Acura's Integrated Dynamics System gives drivers the power to appoint driving modes as he or she sees fit: Normal, Economy, Sport, and Sport+. With these specs, this is one of those times when the multiple choices set before you are all 100% bang on.
