2019 Acura RDX consumer reviews

Researched the RDX front to back before purchase. Have had it now one year. The vehicle does what I had hoped. Handles well in dry, wet and Snow! Comfortable in long road trips and quiet. Infotainment console slight learning curve..

This car met both the performance and style standards that I wanted. As a used vehicle, the low mileage (<3,000) was a huge plus. Vince Cuffaro and Crown Acura made the entire purchase process a breeze. We are really enjoying our RDX!

Love the vehicle. Only change I would make is no push button shifter. Inconvenient. Everything else is great. Has plenty of horse power. Safety is superb

Love this car! Great ride, handling, and performance! Great for daily commuting and for travel with our 2 large dogs. Expecting many happy miles ahead.

Had it for over one year and it's been mostly okay. So far the transmission has been the biggest disappointment. It often chooses the wrong gear and Rev hangs like crazy when it needs to down shift. The other issue I had was the sunroof cover motor failure that needed replacement. The infotainment pad thing is a bit hard to use. Kind of distracting. The ride is on the firmer side. It's cheaper than the European rivals but there maybe a reason for that.

This small suv is a blast to drive, has all the bells whistles that a person could want and is very efficient with gas mileage.

This is a 40-50k car that almost as soon as you drive it off the lot the brakes start squeaking and they can’t fix it. That is an expensive car to have your brakes squeak. Call any dealer and talk with service department they will verify it.

Do not buy this car. I bought the Rdx 2020 brand new and have had it in for 2 repairs. They cannot fix the brakes and I am embarrassed to drive it in public. This sound is loud. Acura is aware of it and Has no fix, but won’t take the car back. Will have to sue through lemon law. This was my 5th Honda product and due to their failure to stand by their warenty, it will be my last.

This is my first acura i’ve owned. Its so far the best car ever. It runs so smooth & the interior is absolutely stunning. It has so many features and has alot of space front and back.

The car is fun to drive, something most SUVs do not provide. It's not as quiet on the highway as a Lexus RX, but getting both qualities in the same vehicle is probably impossible. I have the Advance trim model with SH-AWD, which offers almost every feature you could want as standard. The seats are great, with 16 way adjustments for both the driver and passenger. The storage area behind the second row is good for a vehicle of its size, plus there is a hidden under floor area as well. Flip the rear seats down, and you can carry all types of bulky things. Performance is very good, although the transmission can be a bit jerky in the 1-2 and 2-3 upshift under moderate acceleration. Gas mileage is about 23 mpg mixed town and urban driving; the best I have ever gotten was 27 mpg, the worst about 19 mpg. The quality of the audio system is very good, and the 360 degree camera system is awesome. My car was made during the first few months of production in the summer of 2018, and required a lot of software updates to the infotainment system during the first 6-9 months of ownership. Things have settled down now, and the dreaded "updating" message that never went away is in the past. What could Acura do to make it 5 stars? Here are a few starting points: First, add power folding outside mirrors to cars for the US market; Canadian cars get them, as do most of the cars in the segment they compete in. The heated steering wheel is a dealer option for lower trim models; make it an option for all models and give me the power mirrors! I live in Florida and have only turned it on once in 18 months of ownership, just to see how warm it gets - it gets warm quick. Second, add the remote engine start feature to the key fob. We also own a 2017 Honda CR-V Touring, and Honda includes this feature on the fob as standard. Acura makes you pay for a somewhat pricey and glitchey app to get this feature, or pay the dealer $400 or so for a fob that includes this feature. Third, get rid of the fake engine sounds that get piped into the cabin, especially in the Sport and Sport + settings; it's even there in the Comfort mode upon acceleration. The advance trim level offers adjustable dampers, which is good, but leave out the fake engine sounds (or make it sound like an Acura NSX). I hope this helps. So, a solid 4 Stars, and I would buy it again
