I heard the exact same line from the "master tech" as well.... The car is great (handling, styling & performance-wise), but the dealership experience is just not there for a "supposedly" luxury brand.

I used to own an Audi Q7 and every time I went to Audi dealer for anything, I'm always treated with respect, e.g., "we'll take care of it". And the overall build quality, fit & finish of that car is so much better compared to the DE5 - I didn't even know "interior rattle" was a thing for a modern luxury car.

110% - our local Porsche, Audi, and Mercedes dealerships definitely have the Acura dealership beat. And while I love the driving experience of the ITS much more than the RS3 or any other of the cars I've driven or owned, the fit and finish of the paint and exterior leave much to be desired, and although I find the interior quite comfortable with nice enough materials, it's definitely plagued by more little rattles/squeaks and objectively a step down from any substantially less expensive Signature trim Mazda, let alone Audi, etc.
