Acura RDX Test Drive & Falling in Love all at A Girl's Guide To Cars Conference Plus #Giveaway

The New Redesigned 2019 Acura RDX - An Ex Car Club Girls Dream 

 

Acura RDX for the win. I had so much fun with this SUV that seats 5...

 



 

Thanks to Acura, A Girl's Guide To Cars and Visit Greater Palm Springs I was given the opportunity to test drive this fierce beauty for 3 hours. All opinions are my own. 

 

Acura has outdone themselves with this redesign of the RDX. I have always been a fan. The sleek exterior, plenty of space for family and cargo plus our old girl (our 14yo pup), premium sound, extremely comfy interior and more. 

 

But... they added more & continued to the extreme this year with additions like my favorites...

 

Panoramic Moon Roof - my kids would love this, who al I kidding, I loved it. I can see us stargazing on a drive by the beach or up to our local mountain favorite, Idyllwild.

 

Staying in sync with true touchpad interface - technology is amazing and with a few touches literally at your fingertips. Easy to use and navigate.

 

Premium Theater Sound system - the music lover in me is happy about this. The sound was amazing and really surrounded the in interior with beats and jams I rocked out to. Powerful.

 

8 different colors - bright, shiny, bold or classy, all the colors offered are appealing and unique with style.



 

Sport Package Manual Mode - for the sporty of sporty speed lover there is the 10 speed manual. Yes 10 speed. (more below)

 

The super handling was tight and we took turns like a champ with the RDX all when drive. I was able to be the driver for about an hour and a half around beautiful Greater Palm Springs area. I was also able to enjoy being passenger for about that same amount of time. 

Acura has another RDX option "for those that like to live life at fast-forward. The All-New Acura RDX offers a 10-speed automatic transmission for crisp acceleration, a standard turbocharged engine and the next generation of available SH-AWD® for owning every corner. Now every move is a power move." 



 

I can't really explain how much that statement makes me smile. I am an ex car club girl turned soccer mom. I love control, organization, music, space for carpools and drive power.

You never know when you will need to put the pedal to the medal to avoid an accident at the same time the technology for the brakes brings safety first. 

 

I really fell in love with the RDX more so than I liked it before. Getting behind the wheel of this classy powerful spacious.. I could go on... SUV made me feel safe too.

Paradise 2 Hours From OC at Miramonte Indian Well Resort - A Girl's Guide To Cars Conference PLUS #Giveaway

Miramonte Indian Wells Is As Relaxing As It Is Picturesque

 

Miramonte Indian Wells is located in the Greater Palm Springs Area just about two hours from Orange County.

 

 



 

Thank you, Miramonte Indian Wells Resort & Spa, for having me out for the A Girls Guide To Cars first ever conference. All opinions are my own.

 

Nestled at the foothills of the beautiful mountains in the dessert with warm days and cool nights, I wonder why we have not visited before, it's a hidden oasis.

 

 

Desert Oasis

 

Driving up to the resort you can sense the type of atmosphere you are about to wonder into. It's palms remind me of a socal sunset in a postcard and with date farms locally down the street you see miles of land around you too.

 

The reservation check in desk is welcoming and bright with windows all around and glass doors leading to the courtyard just past the restaurant and bar in lobby. Everywhere you turn the grounds are amazingly lush and green.

 

Once outside you are completely surrounded by lush bright plants, trees and flowers. On site there is even a garden with fruits, veggies and herbs that Miramonte uses in it's restaurant Citrus and Palm.

 



 

 

The Pathways & Resort Amenities

 

Since I was attending A Girls Guide To Cars conference my family had the opportunity to really soak up the resort experience.

 

They loved that there were oversized lawn games to play. My son really gets a sensory fix with these games especially connect four. How perfect.

 



 

My daughter really wants to return for a bike ride. Yes, she noticed that Miramonte offers bikes to their guests, how cool!

 



 

She has an ankle injury and was not able to enjoy the bikes so I promised her we would go back soon to enjoy a ride on the bike paths suggested by the awesome staff.

 



 

There are three pools on hand for lounging, swimming, sun bathing and more. The main resort pool offers cabanas surrounding the 83° water while the other two pools are a bit more secluded and on the quieter side.
