Strong power and comfortable

I like this car because it is much quiet than the cars I owned before. This car is also powerful and agile. The exterior and interior design is traditional and suitable for seniors. It is a great car!

Not Impressed.

Nothing more than a Honda Pilot with different emblems and a much higher price. Cheap controls and nothing impressive. So glad to be back in a Cadillac. Just purchased a Cadillac XT6 and this is what luxury should be.

The car is in excellent condition and drives well

The ride is as good as the day we purchased it 2 years ago. We feel very good in buying our 5th accura and will look to purchase another when the time comes

Step up from Honda CRV with V6 performance.

2018 Rdx bought new. 15,000 miles, zero issue. Reliable V6 and proven 6 speed automatic transmission are the reason I upgraded from CRV. The infotainments interface is passing grade. However, the sound quality is superb. Safety technology is about as early as Tesla autonomous system. It's an assistant, can't trust it. Leather isn't same league as my Porsche but good enough. Plus one for roomy interior and minus one for the "beak". Real life gas milage average City 19 mpg. 22 mpg combine. Not great but not bad.

Poor quality

Acura has poor quality due to cheap using materials. Think twice when you shop Acura vs Lexus, BMW, etc. The little money you save is not worth.

Great safety features and performance.

Well built and very reliable (so far). Decent mileage for a 6 cylinder. Good visibility. Excellent driver seating. Good comfort features. Does not require much servicing. Wish it came with Apple Carplay as its built in GPS is not that easy to use.

Love the V/6 - newer ones only have 4-bangers

I bought this sight unseen, and overall happy. Surprised that this more expensive RDX did not have perforated leather seats. Luxury vehicle?? My Honda Ridgeline has this, but not an RDX??

best "around town" vehicle

Liked my 2016. Bought the 2018. Didn't want a 4 cylinder 2019 ! Like the performance and economy of turbo less V6. Owned 2 Honda CRVs. Nice cars except for the 4 cylinder engines.

Drives so smooth and I feel safe!

The leg room in the back seat is amazing! The trunk is a good size! It is AWD which is amazing for the winter! The electronics that come standard are impeccable!

Extremely comfortable and functional car!

This car is just perfect for me!It is both beautiful inside and outside, and easy for me to throw my bike and workout gear in the trunk area. I hope to use this car for a long time!
