Beautiful- Excellent Car

This car is above and beyond expectations. We read and watched many reviews that rated this car as excellent. Believe me it is luxury without the exorbitant price tag.

Too much money

I feel it costs way too much for the 2019 RDX. It has a lot of bells and whistles that I don’t feel I need. I wish I could permanently turn them off. For example; the brake warning system and the lane crossing system. It’s very very annoying while driving. If your on the highway or road where they have cracked sealed or the middle line slightly moved when repainted the alarm goes off and the steering wheel starts to shake. I’ve never leased a car so annoying as this one. The other thing is when your at a red light or stop sign the vehicle turns off then starts back up when you step on the gas. The car is comfortable but too annoying to me. Can’t wait for the lease to be done. Never again, I can promise you that. The lease price is very expensive also. $600 a month. That’s CRAZY. I wish I didn’t jump into this lease so quickly, should have put a little more thought into it first.

Very disappointed

This vehicle has lots of bells and whistles that you don't need but are missing the important things that ARE needed. (Blind spot detector should be standard - and no one needs the car to turn off at a red light.). My RDX is 8 months old and is making a horrible noise that no one can figure out so I'm just stuck with it.

My wife loves this cae

She has had her eye on an RDX and we finally got it. A half year, 15k miles later she is quite pleased with its comfort, reliability, and appearance. Occasionally I even get to drive it and it is a pleasure .

It's pretty. It's fast. The tech doesn't work.

I've owned a 2019 RDX Aspec since December 2018. Since then, it's been back to the dealership 3x due to infotech issues - the screens have gone dark, the nav will repeatedly change colors (day-to-night) when it's still daytime, the steering wheel controls don't always allow me to change channels, and I receive error messages about changing my drive mode even when not changing my drive mode. Additionally, when I purchased the car, I realized the Aspec trim doesn't offer a spare. The sales person told me I could have it added. Since then, I've been told it's not an option for the Aspec. Whether it is or isn't, it's been frustrating. For the money, and reputation, I'd have expected a more reliable car and more straight-forward answers on the spare.

Love the car, but worried about grinding brakes

Really think this is a great, stylish and fun vehicle. Love it except for the grinding brake problem. Very worrisome. Purchased new and have had it for several months. Only a few thousand miles on it. Brakes grind off and on. From what I am learning, the Acura dealers don't know what it is - so we should just live with it? Very disappointing.

Horn not working from the first day I bought .

Absolutely hate it. Dealers are just tossing to fix the broken horn in brand new car. Very very disappointing. Want to return the car ASAP.
