I have a 2019 RDX with 24,000 miles on it , it's been 5 years and the the car has never been in the shop for a repair. The quality and reliability has been excellent my wife and I are very happy with it.
@@ChesterSm-ge1hb I’m pretty sure I can buy any car I want. The problem is most of the new cars are overpriced junk I’m afraid to touch. No I’m going to buy and old truck and have it completely rebuilt from the ground up with aftermarket engines, drivetrains interior and suspension. It will be cheaper and the quality will be better ten time what I can buy new!! And did I mention cheaper to do it this way??? New car dealers are thrives and outward crooks I refuse to deal with
It’s a great car. We own a 2019 model and have had 0 issues. It’s big enough for our family to have comfortable road trips, fun daily driver to work with that quick turbo engine, it does good on mpg’s (we use premium 91 which we feel it helps) and for owning a base model, it comes with luxury features that other competitors do not offer unless you get an upgraded model. Although it’s not perfect All in all we are very happy with this vehicle
I have 99 problems but my rdx isn't one. My wife and I love our Acura products and Honda products including our rdx a spec and 2023 integra. Our only real issue is fuel economy especially because it's so fun and means fuel ⛽️. Love our Integra too but in different ways.
The touch pad doesn’t bother me anymore. Find it now easy to use. Still not happy with the fuel consumption - get only 17-18 with mostly city driving, and I try to drive in the most efficient way. It’s a great car and I’m happy I have it, but the miles are something that needs to be improved.
@@msgosiaand the acura mdx don't have that much horse power only 272 I'm surprised the suv is burning alot of gas it's suv's with more horse power and got better fuel economy.
I heard there were reliability issues which I was a surprised to hear having had Acuras in the past. Has that been worked out for the more recent model years?
I’m sure there are, most of the brands using Turbo engines are going to have reliable issues. It’s simply not sustainable in the longterm. Then add the plastic parts holding it together and disaster.
Acura and Lexus are the best they both should have a 10 year 100,000 miles warranty standard. With an optional 20 year 200,000 miles warranty for an extra fee.
Acura RDX users what are your thoughts on the trackpad?? ?? Seems likenit would be cumbersome. Also like your thoughts on the infotainment sysytem. Seems tiny all those buttons look too busy vs the sleek exterior of the car
The infotainment trackpad is rubbish when trying to use on bumpy roads and in heavy traffic. The CarPlay and AA integration is very poor as the Acura true touch system is not replicated and it is a swipe swipe swipe til you get the right icon to highlight and (hopefully) activate. You canuse voice commands and steering wheel for many things, but not as easy to use as regular touchscreen
I currently drive a 2012 Subaru Outback with 198,000 miles. It has been serviced by the best independent mechanic that I have ever had. I asked him point blank who makes the best engine in the world. His immediate response, Honda.My next vehicle will be an RDX.
Had an Acura RDX ASPEC 2020 love it and would buy it again, unfortunately it's an easy target for car thieves apparently cloning the Smart Key is child's play for them. Hence that's why I don't have my Acura anymore.
I'd be in an RDX now if it wasn't for the infotainment system. Can't bring myself to trade in my Accord Sport 2.0 for a luxury car with an inferior infotainment system.
have a 2019 rdx no panoramic roof issues, i had a 2016 lexus rx and the panoramic sunroof frame needing replacing, no brand is immune to panoramic sunroof issues
I have a '21 RDX Aspec and so far the roof has not cracked but it always makes a popping sound when pulling out of my driveway or when I go over uneven pavement.
The two biggest negatives that swayed me away from the RDX is the infotainment center and the 4 cylinder. The Lexus RX350 could come with the classic 3.5L v6 and still get the same gas mileage. Had that engine in my Camry and that thing goes!
The screen is in a location where it would be unsafe/uncomfortable to touch/use while driving. The track pad isn’t so bad after you get used to it…it was confusing for me at first but it’s easy to use for me now
U talking about the touchpad for the infotainment? If so, that’s the safest way to manage ur infotainment having to reach a screen is way more distracting
@Eric P If I'm understanding the pad vs Lexus old pad: Acura's touch pad is 1:1. Top left is top left of screen, bottom right is bottom right etc. Where as Lexus old touchpad was a mouse that had a cursor to keep track of. Think of Acuras more like an electronic artist pad, rather than a cursor. Once you learn it, you don't have to look down or focus too much on the screen to get it to do what you want
I was a acura person for over 15 yrs.. now they have raised prices in the bmw, Mercedes level. Lots of problems except to be in the dealer every month!! Kia/hy.. better prices, better warranty and quality 10yrs warranty not acura/honda. .. never buy until they lower prices and get there act back to japan quality. . 2023.. do not buy !!
It’s a dated mess. 🤮 No hybrid. No EV. Brutal fuel economy. Awful infotainment system. 👎🏼 Wait until 2025. We’ll see a new model, rebates and discounts. 6/10.
@@msrainlady5515I traded my RDX for a hybrid CRV. RDX is a nice vehicle but 10 speed AT is not smooth in stop n go traffic, mpg is poor and infotainment trackpad is horrible with Carplay. RDX is a fun car on open road, but not a good daily driver for me
Jp powers the acura is at the lower bottom.. not able to beat the kia.. do not buy!! Acura is gone down hill!! You will be better to buy A Kia/hy models better warranty also.. stay away from acura..
IF you live where it snows, know this: the RDX front wiper blades CANNOT be lifted beyond a few inches. They cannot "stand" if you wish to clean your windshield for example. EDIT: you CAN lift them up, but it requires to get in the car, stop it if running, do a short version konami code and THEN you'll be able to lift them. Not great but doable.
Hello! They can but you have to put them in maintenance mode to put them to where you can lift them up. I had to figure that out the hard way with my RDX.

Acura RDX 2023 has a timing belt or chain ?
Just sold my 2020 Porsche Macan Base and got into one of these. Zero regrets, especially when service/ maintence is due.
Wow my two favorites in this clase.

What are the cons? Thank u
Just bought 2024 Aspec……awesome machine
Came from a Mazda CX-5 to the RDX, the upgrade was huge.
What are the differences?

I just bought a 2017 in 2023! Love it! 😊
What!!! Is it really nice? Low miles?
Y’all don’t know about how good it feels to owe one😽
feels better to be paid off and no longer owe
Just picked up my 2024 Aspec….awesome machine
I love driving and owning this car- when buying a car the only opinion I car about is my own.
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
I own 2019 advance pkg. . The car is amazing and reliable!
What's holding me back from buying one is the lower gas millage on required premium fuel and the touch pad.
I have a RDX and these two are exactly what I don’t like.
The touch pad doesn’t bother me anymore. Find it now easy to use. Still not happy with the fuel consumption - get only 17-18 with mostly city driving, and I try to drive in the most efficient way.

I actually LIKE the touchpad idea only wished it were bigger. I HATE FINGER PRINTS /SMUDGES all over my screen !
I have a 2023 and I agree. Trying not to have regrets
I love my 2020 RDX Aspec
Really like the Acura RDX. Good upgrade from our Accord or CRV. Thanks
I upgraded from RDX to 24 CRV hybrid 😊 Would definitely consider RDX if they add hybrid and replace outdated infotainment system
I like the Adv+Aspec combo; but, Acura still needs to have a hybrid (w/ or w/o plug-in) in this segment.
Not sure why most reviews on UA-cam have an issue with the track pad. I think it works great
For Acura apps it is fine, but the Carplay integration is rubbish and difficult to use on bumpy, congested roads we have in the northeast
I heard there were reliability issues which I was a surprised to hear having had Acuras in the past. Has that been worked out for the more recent model years?
I’m sure there are, most of the brands using Turbo engines are going to have reliable issues. It’s simply not sustainable in the longterm. Then add the plastic parts holding it together and disaster.
I read some where last night years from 2015-2018 were problematic.
@@michaelcady1945 I own a 2016 with 140M miles. Reliability has been flawless.

I doubt either SUV will be used for 20 years that’s why they don’t even offer it
Amen to that!

Very good-looking.
Do I have to use premium gas?
Recommend but not necessary. It could affect performance if you only use lower grade gas. Also you could have engine clanking.
How high is it from the ground?
This is a option for me but no touch screen and only one engine option is sad. I heard mpg isn’t the greatest I’m waiting for the Mazda CX 70.
Yeah I’d own this over any Mazda any day
Mazda attempted to launch a luxury brand in the late 80’s. It was called the Amati. It failed
Needs digital instrument cluster and would b great vehicle!!
Had an Acura RDX ASPEC 2020 love it and would buy it again, unfortunately it's an easy target for car thieves apparently cloning the Smart Key is child's play for them. Hence that's why I don't have my Acura anymore.
Are you serious
As well as Kia's. Easy to steal...Not that it compares to Acura...
I'd be in an RDX now if it wasn't for the infotainment system. Can't bring myself to trade in my Accord Sport 2.0 for a luxury car with an inferior infotainment system.
I went from RDX to CRV hybrid and couldn't agree more 😊
Wonder how this compares to my ‘17 qx50
Was looking at an RDX to replace my 2019 QX50, ended up with a 2024 QX50S. Price was just better. RDX is a great SUV though.
Have Acura fixed the shattered panoramic roof issues.

Wait for the 2024 because the base model is all wheel drive !!!

Had a down payment on one of these until I tested the Lexus NX350 then switched it up
What's the difference
A trackapd doesn't belong in ANY car. That's why Lexus got rid of theirs. Acura needs to follow.
Completely agree. Literally every other piece of tech on the planet is touchscreen. They need to get it together
U talking about the touchpad for the infotainment? If so, that’s the safest way to manage ur infotainment having to reach a screen is way more distracting
What if the cartels in Mexico steal mine? When I visit?

Eugene owns it. ~
take off the IRA logo on the back as well as the warning label
The inside needs updated with that big knob in the center,pad gone! And bring the cost down!! And make bigger...
Because of the track pad, I hate Acura brands now.. Until then my 2018 Honda CR-V is enough for me..
as soon as they get rid of that stupid trackpad, I will consider one.
70 years old bought mine 2 months ago. I figured it out.
The RDX is beautiful looking SUV, but the mileage per gallon is trash. Do better Acura
Yep
Regrettably I traded mine in for an X3
Yeah I’ve heard nightmare stories about the reliability long term for those
I prefer Honda Pilot 2023
The RDX looks better than that car in my opinion but everybody have different tastes in cars
Lol... premium brand does not have touch screen in 2023.
I don't understand why this car is 5000$ more in the USA... They actually make it there, what gives?
they make it in USA, that is why.
@@AZ..... so home built = more expensive? makes no sense.
more features

Please check page 609 of the owners manual. The wipers can absolutely be raised of the windshield.
oof, yea ok. i could do without all that fiddling to just lift the wipers... thanks though
That's a "trend" that is catching on in most vehicles nowadays
