Reliability: BMW X1 vs Acura RDX?

I want to buy a new car, and am interested in getting a crossover or small SUV. The two cars that have peaked my interest are BMW X1 and Acura RDX.

Which of these two cars is more reliable? I'm leaning towards Acura being the more reliable car (as Honda has a very good reputation in terms of reliability). However, I have never owned a German car, so I can't really compare through personal experience.

RDX. However, you are essentially getting a vehicle that shares loads of parts with Civics and CRVs.

  • Honda CBR250R red line reliability? Heres the problem-how well built is the engine?-I have heard that the bike top speed is no more than 90mph but the reason I ask is because wether I get this bike or the CBR929RR am going to be riding around a lot especially long highway journeys. I would add a high air flow air filter and an exhaust system to the CBR250R so that would be a noticeable power increase for this particular bike I'm sure but IS IT OK TO KEEP IT CLOSE TO RED LINE FOR HOURS?
  • For the ultimate reliability to pack on many miles on a sports bike? I'm thinking Honda's CBR250R and CBR600F4i but is their any other bikes that you may know for extremely good reliability with fuel injection and in my budget of $3,000? -I really don't care if its a sports bike/cruiser/standard/ or even a scooter because riding is riding
  • Mazda reliability? Particularly 2013 mazda 3? I'm in the market for a new car and I was looking between 2013 Toyota corolla which is just boring and doesn't have as much features compared to Honda, or mazda. The Mazda 3 is at a good price 1000 dollars cheaper then the Toyota. So my question is, is Mazda reliable for that generation, or should I stick with a very well known reliable car maker?
  • Would the seats of a honda civic si fit in a acura rdx? I been looking at some older rdxs and don't like the leather. Was wondering if some one has ever switched out leather seats with cloth seats? It probably matters what year and etc. Of the cars.
