Quiet, fast, and comfortable

I bought this car in December. Test drove 2019 Tucson and 2018 CRV, same value much better SUV. Handles extremely well, feels more spacious, not up to date on all the technology, but overall love it.

Great Purchase

This car is my first (and most likely, only) 'luxury' car purchase. I'm very pleased with this vehicle. The comfort, look, and dependability of the Acura are very appealing to me.

Great reliable vehicle. Fun and lively V6!

After driving the RDX for 3 years, it?s got a fun and lively engine and plenty of space compared to similar vehicles in the market. Used this vehicle for daily commute and transporting family.

A Reliable Car With Minor Issues

I pretty much like the Honda stuff and this vehicle is no exception. The problems that I have with the RDX are relatively minor. The fit between the front bumper and front fenders are terrible as well as the fit between the hood and the top of the fenders, uneven gaps and problems lining up. If you have the front widows rolled partially down, they rattle when closing the doors. Very unhappy with the NAV system. It never responds to voice commands and is very quirky as well as the maps are very antiquated looking. A bit tight inside the cabin as well as very little storage space and the fuel door release control is so far down at the floor that anyone with a bad back will have a problem activating it. But on the positive side, it runs and shifts smoothly with only an occassional hiccup in the transmission when it appears to get confused. For whatever reason Honda just refuses to fully engage and commit to the Luxury car market with Acura. They are nice cars but I don't consider them much different that a less expensive Honda. For the money that they ask for these Acura's, better cars can be had.

Pleasantly surprised!

I test drove several SUVs before deciding on the Acura RDX. It has comfortable seats that accommodate my 6'2" husband and me who's 5'3". Great backup camera & driver assist features. I was pleasantly surprised by the affordability, plus I get great gas mileage even though it's a 6 cylinder. I have no regrets in choosing this vehicle. It will be my next vehicle choice as well.

the rdx=wow!

LOVE THIS suv but just like everything there are a few things I have issues with. 1) in the winter the bottom of the doors between the door & body of the suv ice , snow & red grit gets in there , will make a mess on your pant leg. 2) the head lights are very bright & during very heavy snow it can be hard to see the rd. It's like driving in fog with your brights on!

Pleasant car

Nice car to drive. Comfortable and economical. I always liked Acura cars. Very spaciously designed. Audio can be improved. Comfortable seats and large cargo space. Like to see the center console as TLX.
