Absolutely love the car so far

This car meets and exceeds my expectations. My wife and I are very pleased and love driving it. Smooth ride, comfortable, very safe ratings, which were all important to us.

Not one problem to date (2 years in)

This is a great smaller SUV. I get compliments on mine and how it looks still after 2 years of ownership! I do like the sportiness of the A-spec over the chromed out other versions, but that's just me. I use this around town and in the mountains, including some dirt/bumpy fire roads. I wouldn't call it off roading, but off pavement. The AWD handles flawlessly, which is great. Very peppy for a 4 cyl SUV. Plenty of torque to get it moving and gets upper 20's on the HWY. I do have some quirky issues with Apple CarPlay, but it has gotten better with their updates and I know that some of that can be placed on Apple's updates as well. I use it to haul mountain bikes, kids, my German Shepherd and general stuff back and forth from Raleigh to the Mountains. I have been in snow once, without issue - hey NC doesn't get snow often! I'd buy this car gain, except I wouldn't mind the larger sized MDX. However, we already have a Honda Pilot. The tradeoff is my RDX is way sportier to drive than the Pilot. Mechanically, I have had Zero issues with 32,000 miles on it.

Nice vehicle

Like the driving experience the vehicle offers and the tech. Good quality and it has been reliable. The SH-AWD system is great for all road/weather conditions.

Very Stylish

This car is my pride and joy. I got it used, but with very low mileage. I have had almost zero problems since the date of purchase, and love showing it off around town.

First import after owning 10+ vehicles

Bought a certified used RDX A-Spec. Awesome compact suv for the family. Lots of tec. Beautiful inside and out. Perfect level of sporty and luxury. My only knock on it so far is I wish it had a digital read out of the speed. Haven’t had to look at a needle in over 10 years.

Great Car!

I love this car— inside and out. No complaints or regrets. Acura made styling changes to this model, as well as a different engine than prior years. Both were appreciated improvements.

a lot of kit for the money

I have a 2019 RDX with the Advance package. You get a lot of kit there for its sub $50000 price - luxury in practically everything but the badge. Comfortable, excellent handling, powerful, right-sized, a long warranty, plus the expected safety systems. I could gripe about the infotainment system, which is overly complicated, but I realized that I can easily access everything I need via the heads-up display. That alone was worth the Advance package premium. Otherwise, there were minor glitches that required a dealer fix - the heated steering wheel that didn't heat - and a software update to fix a balky navigation system. And there was the weird discovery that my new iPhone can interfere with the touch-unlock of the doors. Sometimes I have to hold my phone behind my back to open the driver's door. The push-button transmission needs some getting used to, too, but you have to get used to new systems in any car. I wish the Acura had used fold-back door mirrors, though - they're expensive to replace. But, weigh the pros and cons, and unless you have to have a luxury badge to go with the luxury you can get in the Acura, and are willing to pay the extra freight for the same features, this car is well worth the money.

People stop me and ask where to buy it!

Love this sporty vehicle and it is just the right size, handles so well, and has tons of space for hauling around stuff. This is my 3rd Acura and the best ever.
