Base model has everything you could want or need.

All of the safety, convenience and technology features I was looking for are in the base model. It even comes equipped with a panoramic moon roof. Quality inside and out. I was concerned about Apple car play, since I have Android, but they updated it to include it. Even on the '19 that was the last on the lot, which we got a great deal on.

Great value jack of all trades

I like the car. It's good at everything but not great at one thing...besides the awd aspect. Looks are subjective but I like the a spec pack. I will say that the gas mileage needs improvement. Interior design is comfortable and good in quality. The information tech console is subpar but I'm able to adapt to it. Over all I do recommend to people that like good value and good performance at a better price than competitors.

Satellite Radio issue

The car is just ok. It shifts constantly making for an unsmooth and noisy ride. The satellite radio takes 2 minutes or longer to connect rendering the controls useless.

2019 Acura RDX Technology with Navigation

This vehicle has so many pluses and luxury standard features that the odd entertainment system is a minor inconvenience. I understand the reasoning behind the system. Easy reach of controls so you keep your eyes on the road. Mastered this entertainment system in a few days. If you are looking for a luxury compact suv, this should be near the top of the list. Great value.

Acura missed the mark

Purchased new in Oct. 2018 with Navigation Package. Car rides and handles well. Has a nice luxury car feel until you turn on the radio, try to use the navigation system or make a phone call. The infotainment system constantly fails and Acura doesn't seem to care. I've taken it to the dealer 6+ times over this issue and all I'm told is Acura is working on a software update. It's now a year later and no update. Sad that this issue takes away from what could be a great car.

Acura needs to fix the infotainment system!

The infotainment system on our 2019 Acura RDX has been down for more than 90 days. This includes the navigation system, sound system, phone connections and basic information system. Our dealer says they have 1000 customers on a contact list needing the problem fixed. It is not a priority to Acura and they do not have an estimated time to get it fixed. This is a pretty critical set of components in this day and age. We probably won't rush back to buy another one and you should think about it too!

This car has a design flaw which Acura has no fix.

This vehicle is not reliable and should be pulled out of showrooms until they find a fix. It is not safe. The computer screen malfunctions, staying on even when the car is turned off. The battery dies. Acura roadside assistance has to come and charge the battery. The car is then driven to service and they claim there is no fix. Acura knows there is no fix

Luxurious, classy. Love technology package

I love my Acura RDX. I especially love the graphics on the dashboard as well as the technology package. Interior design is exceptional. I will certainly buy another Acura.

Computer system is F***ed. Acura can't fix it.

The computer system causes the car's battery to die. Acura service admits they cannot fix the problem. Do not get this vehicle. I repeat do not get this vehicle. 3500 miles and it's a piece of junk.
