Only a test drive

I truly do not like the 2017 RDX. My parents used to have a 2012 Honda CR-V. I wasn't much of a fan. The Acura RDX reminded me too much of the CR-V. The dealer told me not one part was the same, but the funny thing is that I felt like I was driving the exact same car. I truly did not like the RDX. The vehicle is outdated.

Beautiful lines. Great performance (6 cil.)

The Acura RDX can last more than 200,000 if properly maintained. It is beautiful and dependable. The extra cost of owning it compared to similar vehicles can be easily justified. Take a ride in one RDX on the highway, and take the same ride on a similar vehicle. I rest my case

Smooth and easy drive

Love this car. Plenty of room, gadgets, comfort. This car easily carries 5 people, multiple sets of golf clubs, and everything else we need. The drive is smooth, quiet, and fun.

Better than we expected!

We have had our Acura about a 3 weeks now. We took it on 300 mile trip to Branson, Missouri and it gor 28 mpg. I think the average highway MPG was rated at 27. Very comfortable ride. Enjoyed the new safety features like the lane warning, GPS and other features.

Good cross country ride

Acura is a step up from Honda or Toyota. Not Lexus or MB glitz. Got 31 mpg on drive from Denver to Columbia, Missouri. The ride is comfy and handles well. Effortless driving with Adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist. Performed well on drive to Florida. Premium gas a downer.

RDX Tech

Finally traded in the sedan for a small SUV. Love the RDX. Skillfully engineered, beautiful interior and exterior. Great performance.
