Most comfortable ride in a car I?ve owned

First SUV I?ve owned and live it. Comfortable interior and great ride. Size is perfect for what I need. Handles well in the snow. Have always had FWD and now the AWD makes a huge difference.

Very satisfied with the vehicle so far

The vehicle meets my needs. I purchased the rdx in 2018 as I did not want a 4 cyl turbo engine and like the resilience and reliability of the 6 speed transmission. Plenty of room inside. 6 cylinder engine is powerful and quiet. The all wheel drive is sufficient although I am not able to compare it to the S all wheel drive. The price point and the incentives on a 2018 made it a easy decision to make to not purchase a 2019

favorite "city" car

very good vehicle. Nice performance. Good economy. Seat cushions about an inch and a half too short. Seat backs are fine. Road noise a bit annoying. Overall, one of my favorite cars.

Solid Performance and Comfortable Small SUV

Although the new 2019 is very nice, the 2018 has the V6 engine and owner friendly transmission. This smaller SUV is refined, quiet, peppy and well appointed. The technology package has an awesome audio system as well. I?ll be looking to keep this one.

Seems good so far

A lot of safety features. Comfy seats and smooth ride. However defects in rubber around back window causing severe stress since the dealership made 3 attempts to repair it, but with each try more damage is being done. My car has been at their garage for over 2 weeks with no end in sight. Very strange and upsetting!

Love this Ride!

We looked at the Lexus RX 350, the Lexus NX, and the 2019 RDX. This was far and away the best mix of features and drivability for the price. Initially I found the ride a bit stiff, but this is my first SUV and it took some getting used to...now I really like it. We have the Advance package, and it has pretty much every bell and whistle you would want: leather, 8 way seats for driver and passenger, blind spot monitoring, heated/cooled seats. The electronics are ok... for what we needed we haven't had any issues. It feels like people are expecting a luxury brand, and Acura is a premium brand. It's a great comfortable hauler... but it doesn't have the same luxurious feel as a Lexus. It's actually understated luxury, which is exactly what we wanted. And for 10K less... it's a great value. We love this vehicle.

Love this freakin car!

Acura is the epitome of luxury vs sportiness. Handles like it's on rails. I don't think I'll ever purchase another brand. Love it! Easy to learn tech...

Great RXD

This vehicle met all my expectations, actually exceeded. I couldn't be happier. It runs great, it handles great, it looks great. This is the 1st SUV I have ever owned & have no regrets. It can't be beat for the price and quality.
