Bang for the buck

2018 RDX is technologically out of date. But comparing reliability and engine performance vs other similar suv in the class, it was on top of the list.

AWESOME

Just got the new 2029 RDX advanced AWD. Car drives calm until you floor it. Turbos spool and you better hold on. Lots of fun power and options. For the money, nobody can touch an acura.

From RX to RDX

For one month we have been owners of a RDX Advance (Performance Red/Parchment) and really couldn't be happier with our first Acura. For three years we have been looking for a replacement for my wife's 2006 Lexus RX 330. The options were narrowed down to the XC-60, QX50, RX and the RDX. The XC-60 was eliminated on price and the fact that not only is Volvo Chinese owned, but the vehicles currently in the US are made in China. The QX50 was eliminated on price and a dated interior with a very cheap sliding cover for the center storage area. We drove the RX and the RDX within the same hour. The RX didn't demonstrate one advantage over the RDX, and was over $8K more. The front end styling of the RX also didn't help it. We have yet to feel any situation in the RDX where we wished for more power. The new True Touchpad is unique, but it takes less than 15 minutes to adapt to it and is superior. I was able to program the primary home screen so that 98% of the functions my wife will use are available with one touch. The voice control for the navigation has been flawless so far. With part of the money we saved, our dealer added the 20" diamond-cut wheels to top off its good looks. My wife is hard to please, and one minor detail can kill a deal. She loves every feature of the RDX so far. Any complaint has been remedied with the options available for most functions. Its floating center console design provides more side leg room and storage than any of its competitors. With its top safety rating added to the fact that the RDX was designed in California and Ohio and is assembled in Ohio with 60% North American parts, we have no regrets.

Best engineered and built vehicle I've ever owned

Solid, smooth, quiet, and quick. This car is a dream to drive on short trips or cross-country. On a 3000 mile trip we averaged a combined 27.9 mpg (FWD Tech package). Even at 80 mph it is the quietest cockpit I've been in. The transmission is always in the right gear for the condition with no hunting and usually I don't even feel it shift (unless at high power). The infotainment system takes some learning but I like it after a little practice. Much better than a touch screen. The seats are great for me (6') and my wife (5'). The engine is a torque monster - Amazing! It's very smooth and quiet.

Very High Tech and Very Responsive

As stated above, the Tech package is incredible. Once one becomes familiar with the touch pad the systems become very intuitive. Though a 4 cylinder it is turbocharged making it more responsive than our former 6 cylinder RDX. The interior appointments are very luxurious.

2019 Acura RDX Tech: Outstanding

I wanted a car to meet the needs of each of the four seasons, especially winter. The Acura RDX Tech well satisfies these needs and my own desires. Mr. Ed Alexander, Sales demonstrated all of the vehicle's uses and the electronics. I have owned cars on and off for 54 years. This vehicle is certainly the most comfortable, usable and spacious. It stands out among other vehicles.
