  Worst car ever purchased - 2007 Acura RDX
  By Terrible car - August 5 - 11:31 am

  In the first 3 months this brand new car was in the shop for electronic malfunctions, sunroof malfunction, rear hatch cracked, turbo replaced, warning light indicator malfunction, "flooding issues" and engine noise. This has been our worst experience with a car purchase, Acura service was terrible along with Acura Canadas response. I would NOT recommend this car, it is noisy, rough and unreliable.

  Turbo is design flaw - 2007 Acura RDX
  By sad rdx - May 31 - 8:26 am

  Be very careful of the RDX: the front end has a problem that will need to be addressed - it feels a little like the shocks but it isnt. The turbo has a major problem - my car has been in the shop for over a week they are tearing it down and do not have any idea what is wrong no warning indicators it may have cracked the head but the dealership isnt talking. They do not know why the turbo is malfunctioning but it appears at the 50,000 mile mark you can look for major issues of course that is when the warranty expires. Powertrain is 70,000. Everytime I have had to deal with warranty issues (3 dealerships) they try not to fix. Good luck sorry you have this car and sorry I have this car.

  In the shop three times already - 2007 Acura RDX
  By Very Very Unhappy - May 4 - 10:57 pm

  In the last Month my RDX has been in the shop three times and the last time it didnt even last a week before the emission light went on again and when it goes on it seem to shift down and have less power it has been in the shop this time for a week and they dont know whats wrong with it they are in contact with Japan now and still have no idea whats wrong. Im probably going to trade it in once the find the problem. I can not trust this car. I thought Acura was a trusted car that had no problems I guess I was wrong.

  Big disappointment - 2007 Acura RDX
  By Disappointed Owner - July 14 - 6:40 pm

  I thought I could get sport and utility in one vehicle, and be happy, but I was wrong. I find myself disappointed when I want to drive aggressively. Off the line acceleration is poor. You feel like you are anxiously waiting for the vehicle to realize you want it to go. The transmission often seems to be in too high of a gear and the paddle shifters are an absolute joke. The brakes also do not inspire confidence and you can still tell that you are driving an SUV. From a utility standpoint I am disappointed with the ride, comfort of the front seats, and leg room. I cant find a comfortable driving position and actually get sore on trips longer than 20 minutes. Overall I wish I could return it.

  A definite disappointment!! - 2007 Acura RDX
  By Alex M. - May 23 - 4:34 am

  I traded an 03 MDX for this vehicle because Im single, have no need for a large SUV, and have been very happy with Acura (my 4th Honda product). This vehicle has been a big letdown compared to my MDX. The nimbleness, size and manueverabilty (and handling) are excellent, and what I was looking for, but the 4 cylinder turbo engine is terrible and is really beginning to wear down on me. There is a good amount of turbo lag making it feel sluggish from a start, and the the engine is noisy even when accelerating moderately!! The fuel economy is simply horrendous for a small 4-banger SUV (same as my 7-passenger MDX with a 3.5L V6!!). I will likely end up trading it for something with a decent V6.
