Awful - do NOT buy

DO NOT BUY. The 2020 RDX has a major, critical flaw in its sunroof frame. The frame makes terrible cracking, creaking, and popping noises every time the body of the car flexes. This car is so lovely in so many ways but the terrible noises that happen every time I leave my driveway or go over a bump in the road are horrific. I hate this car. Also the transmission is clumsy feeling, so there's that.

Awesome car questionable corporate

My wife and I absolutely Love our RDX. Unfortunately we recently had a mechanical issue and the part is on back order, 3 weeks later and still no part. So our vehicle is great but not sure about corporate??????

Save your money

The car drives nice and is aesthetically pleasing but once you actually live with it you realize a lot of simple downfalls. The center console is not great for small items you basically throw everything into your cup holder and then you don't have a cup holder. My biggest pet peeve is how glitchy the infotainment system is. Many times you get in and it will not connect a Bluetooth or it won't be able to play the radio or Android Auto doesn't connect and nothing fixes it unless you stop the car and restart it

Great value for all the options.

By far, the best vehicle I owned. It is just so comfortable and fun to drive. I purchased the Advanced model which has more bells and whistles than I could ever imagine. The only thing it doesn’t do is drive by itself..

Reliable car

Perfect for all my needs... I am loving my car and enjoying every moment I get to go places or for long drive... always waiting for sunny weather so that I can have the sunroof and moonroof open...

Not What Is Advertised

I was very disappointed in this car. I expect better from Acura. I have 3 major complaints: 1. Noisy. Sounds like a race car when accelerating. Needs some work 2. USB does not work at times. I use a flash drive for music. There are some tracks that do not play; no sound, title shows. When starting car the system cannot "find" the device that I was using. I have to unplug the stick and let it reset. 3. I absolutely hate the stop engine when coming to a stop. This really gets old fast in stop and go traffic. Give me a way to permanently turn it off. Please.

Our third RDX

Wonderful and very safe car. This is our third RDX so we are more than pleased with about everything this car offers. It is so easy to drive, very comfortable, uses regular gas and looks nice too.

Most exciting car I have ever owned.

An excellent achievement in automobile design and performance. Fit and finish on both the exterior and interior is outstanding. Acceleration and steering are the best of any SUV I have ever driven. The Acura RDX scores a 10 out of 10!
