Worst technology I've seen in years

The mechanically the car works fine. The technology items are awful. The touch pad never works right. It is programmed to turn the fan down when the navigation is speaking. Not so good at 115 degrees. The navigation is cumbersome and difficult to use.

Very Satisfied

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..

Great car and easy process

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!

Best value for the money

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

Pretty decent for the money

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.

Slammin!

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.

Don’t buy it. Do your research

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.

IF YOU LIKE SQUEALING BRAKES ON A $45,000 CAR...

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.
