2013 Acura RDX consumer reviews

Great car, smooth at 135 mph but gets only 7 mph at that speed all this done on a banked superspeedway. Would love it with out the speed limiter and 500 bph so when driving it on the track it would keep up with the other cars we were filming.

The one thing they don't tell you and that I wish I would have known before buying this car is that the VCM does not kick in if you are driving at about 75 mph or higher. So I either have to adjust my driving style and learn patience or get a whopping 20-21 mpg on the highway. I have not yet contacted my dealer to see if there is any work-around but if there isn't I will be EXTREMELY disappointed with this purchase. Other than that, it is a pretty solid car overall. Other small things that bug me are the clunky rear suspension and the small gas tank but those weren't dealbreakers. When compared to similar vehicles I think it is a good value, and Acura is known for its dependable and long lasting cars. If if wasn't for the one major flaw I would probably give it 5 stars. But I'm not getting anywhere near the advertised gas mileage and I drive at about the average speed for my area. And MPG was a major factor for me in deciding on a new vehicle. So faster drivers, be warned. I wish I was.

I traded in a 2003 Honda Pilot on the Acura RDX. My initial fears were lack of storage space and having to use premium fuel. However, storage space has not been an issue so far and the 2013 RDX uses regular unleaded. Having the V6 as opposed to last year's turbo 4 provides more than adequate power but still good gas mileage, better than the Pilot. My RDX has the technology package and if you are a techie then it will satisfy all your needs although I think in some areas it's overkill. One area and this applies across the board, Honda needs to focus on sound deadening as there is still road noise although less than was in the Pilot.

I spent a lot of time researching and driving a number of luxury compact SUV's including Volvo xc60; Audi Q5; BMW x3 and some others. Each had their pluses and faults but i think for overall value and performance, the 2013 RDX is hard to beat.

excellent car average gas mileage 3 steps up from 2007 honda crv i got a technology car an excellent car

I got the 2013, tech package with AWD. I have it for about 5 months now. I had tried MB GLK350, Acura F35, Lexus LS350, and Toyota Venza. None of them had the similar room and only MB was more comfortable than the RDX. It has more room and runs strong enough for my family of four. Gas milage is averaging 22 mpg with highway averaging at 27 mpg when I drove it to LA. It potentially gives more mpg if driving in a flat road. sound system and quietness is great. I really enjoy its ride, features and look.

I bought my RDX at Acura of Libertyville just about a week ago! I was so happy with the exceptional service provided during and after my car sale. The staff is so friendly and really cares about their customers! I will recommend this dealer to all my friends family and coworkers. I got a great deal and I'm very satisfied!

My wife and I love our new 2013 RDX. Recently took a trip and got 32.5 mpg! The ride was great and we recieved some compliments from some strangers such as "classy" and "nice car". We plan to do a lot of traveling in this car when we retire.

My friend and i looked at numerous small SUV's including the Volvo XC60, Audi, Nissan Murano, Toyota Venza and Ford Edge. None of them offered the value and refinement of the RDX. I absolutely love the ride and overall performance. I bought the Tech package and while it takes some learning, everything works as advertised. Rear seat room was critical for me as we owned a Volvo XC70 that would not accommodate anyone in the back seat. The RDX had more room than any of the other competitors we looked at. Great Value!!

It rides like a car, has great fule economy and is so reliable. The interior is well thought outand the placement of buttons and navigation is perfect! Love the car!!!!!
