Terrible terrible technology.

Terrible terrible technology. Have to update your maps by paying them to buy CDs. I have had NUMEROUS times where I will get in the car, start it, put it in reverse, get out of spot and then the backup cam turns on. No iPhone audio, no android auto, no ability to update your car from your phone. Awful.

My third RDX.

My third RDX.Purchased in 2018 Was the last year of the 6 cylinder.My first was 2008 turbo 4 cyl.awd.Great car and peppy.Second was 2013 6 cylinder.Even better than the 4 cyl turbo. Now 6 years into my 2018 rdx I have no regrets.Love the peppiness of the 6 cyl and I'm using Michelin Cross Climate 2's for 2/3 of the year and michelin iceX for winter driving in NH. I know I could get better gas mileage with a hybrid but am unwilling to go to a lesser performing vehicle. I never have dealer service but go to a local mechanic for all maintenance. I love this car! Has 105,000 miles.

I just bought it. So far, I love it!

I just bought the car one day ago. So I can't really tell you about reliability over time. I will say this: this car is the beautifully styled, very classy. It provides comfort like no car that I owned before. It's almost like floating. I have get used to all the bells and whistles. There's a lot of them. I'm happy with my purchase.

One of the most reliable cars we have owned.

We had a 2013 RDX and we super pleased with it, so we definitely planned to buy another RDX. The 2018 RDX meets all our expectations.

Honda reliability with all the bells and whistles

I have driven Honda’s for years and like their reliability. The Acura has the best parts of a Honda And the sax appeal of a Euro luxury car

Perfect in every way!

I was looking for a smaller SUV, I test drove a Lexus along with a few others, but nothing came close to the Acura. Extremely comfortable, great ride, I feel very safe, and couldn't ask for more.
