Love my rdx!

This car is perfect for me. With previous injuries from an accident I chose this vehicle because of the options that helped relieve pain. Only thing I wish was that the seats were more comfortable on a long distance driving. Other than that I would purchase again.

Great Vehicle

Very enjoyable ride with comfort. Plenty of leg room & head room for all seats. Lots of extras that was a bonus for me & my wife.

So far so good! Very pleased!

I’ve had this vehicle for about 3 weeks and love it! The interior is surprisingly big for a ‘compact’ SUV. The 6 cylinder engine is powerful & smooth.

Nice vehicle but a little overpriced

Read several reviews and didn’t see any addressing cabin noise from highway trips. Drove two RDXs and two Honda CRVs. Road noise and 4 cylinder engine noise both were a great concern to me. Currently own Highlander V-6 which is much more quite in both instances. My son owns a CRV and he said when he changed to Michelin Defender tires it helped a great deal on the road noise. Would still recommend this vehicle and would appreciate any other posts re: road noise fix!

Great reliable luxury car

I've owned this car for 3+ years now and i am still satisfied with the purchase. It drives great, has great appointments, and I have had 0 issues with the car. Just routine oil, fluid and filter changes and this thing continues to run like a dream. Acura is underrated in my mind. It is a Honda at it's core which means it'll last you a loooong time but it's got the style and power you want in a luxury vehicle. I'd say the exterior of this model year is a little strange (with the duck bill front end as some call it) but the interior is nice and you get a lot of the bells and whistles for less than its competitors. I would suggest this car to anyone who is interested or even check out the newer models. I've had a couple of Acura's now and drove them well past 100K miles and all were excellent cars from start to finish.

This is the fourth Acura I’ve purchased.

I’ve been very pleased with the RDX we just purchased and with the reliability of the previous three Acuras we have owned over the years.

Classy and Sporty SUV

I love the way the RDX drives and feels. I just bought one with 13K miles on it and it looks brand new. The interior feels nice and not cheap. The seats are perfect for long drives and the heated seats are a must have. It has very capable horsepower when you need it. I love the 6 cyl. engine and the handling is amazing. It can turn on a dime and the steering is effortless. My only complaint is the infotainment system. I feel like Acura could have put a better stereo system and a touch screen infotainment system in the car. I didn't get the Tech Package because I didn't like the navigation. It was not user friendly and wasn't a touch screen display. I feel like the price for the Tech Package wasn't worth it. Hopefully Acura will address this on their RDX models in the future. Overall, I feel like I paid a great price for a luxury SUV that performs better than the competition. The interior and exterior is good quality and looks beautiful. Most of my friends that have BMWs were very impressed with my RDX. I hope it last me many years.

Practical Luxury

Roomy airy cabin, quiet, comfortable seats, quick and plenty of room for all my hobby and sports. Five thousand dollars less expensive then it's similarly equipped rivals. Throw in reliability and what else can you ask for!?
