Positive Review

"Best Vehicle I Ever Owned"

After 25 years of owning various makes and models of cars and SUV's, my wife and I upgraded to an Acura RDX and Acura TL. I drive the RDX and absolutely love it. The acceleration and handling is great both in the city and on the highway. Yes, the gas mileage could be better...18 city, 23 highway....but it is better than other SUV's I have owned and the luxury and performance more than make up for it. As to the navigation system...my wife and I now take long trips with no pre-defined destination. We totally rely on the system to help with restaurants, gas and hotels and every large city and small town is adequately covered. The voice recognition does make mistakes, but not so much to make it difficult to find what I am looking for. I enjoy driving the RDX very much and plan on enjoying it for many years to come.

Critical Review

"Rides terrible, low gas mileage,requires HIGH TEST"

The worst ride I have ever had. Feel every crack and bump on the road. Also, you hear very loud road noise. Deeply disappointed in this vehicle and will trade it soon after only 2700. Rides to hard to take any long trips. Shameful!!!

The quickest SUV I driving in a while
Pros

Pretty fast for a 2.3 four cylinder

Cons

Headlights they yellow on the inside, cheap material armrest on the doors

I had purchased my 2010 RDX Turbo four years ago, I was impress how fast it was for a suv, it’s very reliable I have 170,000 on it it still drives like I took it off the lot, still love the six CD changer, everything is still working, the only issue is the arm rest on door it’s cheap material and they’re all ripped, and the headlights they’re yellow I think it’s on the inside of the headlights, but other than that it’s an awesome vehicle…

Fun suv bad electronics
Pros

Turbocharged and reliable outside of electronics

Cons

No ac working now bc of bad relay and no stereo

From the beginning of purchasing it the car had issues with electronics causing the battery to drain and in a wisconsin winter, that’s the worst. After 3 years of owning it now the nav system and all back end of the stereo are having issues. I have no bass and only front end speakers work because the amplifier and dvd nav system begin to have issues

RELIABLE FOR YEARS
Pros

great drive, comfortable and enough leg room

Cons

nothing bad I can say about this vehicle.

The Acura RDX has been a reliable car for 15 years. Very minimal issues as an older vehicle. I would recommend it for anyone that want's a long term car. Worth the investment.

Only got 12,000 miles
Pros

none

Cons

Pricey junk

The car's turbo went out quickly. Only buy the car if you have 9k laying around for a new turbo, and most mechanics in my area will not fix it.
