  So far so good. - 2017 Acura RDX
  By Scott - March 16 - 12:49 am

  Overall, I really enjoy this vehicle. I chose the base AWD because I did not like the stereo and navigation interface on the technology package and above. I also did not get Acura watch package because its not perfected. The only options I wish I had are blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic. Get about 21 mpg overall so far and it is winter. The past 3 days has been 32-40 degrees and Ive been getting about 24 in mixed driving on regular. Overall, the RDX has great acceleration and great value vs its main competitors. Nothing else comparable with a luxury nameplate comes close. I only have 3 minor complaints. 1) use of cargo space could be better. My wife has a Mazda CX5 and her car holds way more and has nice little cubbies the RDX lacks. 2) handling. Again, comparing to the CX5 steering is vague and lacks feedback. 3) When using the Bluetooth its really hard to hear. Voices very tinny and have to have volume on very high to hear the other line. Its a little odd because the stereo and speakers are otherwise fine. Overall, I definitely recommend. Bulletproof engine and transmission and again, its hard to match at its price point.

  Nice ride, poor shift - 2017 Acura RDX
  By Ed Lee - October 19 - 12:07 am

  It isnt the Lexus ride that I traded,. Then again, it was $12K less expensive. Life is a series of tradeoffs and this was one. The transmission shift is clunky. I expected much better gas mileage but the around town is a Killer. Looks good, easy to get around in and park. When you get out of either side, your foot hits the threshold and it gets dirty and stained really fast. Mine is a light color and looks nasty already

  LOVE IT, BUT... - 2017 Acura RDX
  By Mia - July 16 - 4:48 pm

  Love my 2017 RDX , only has 1,200 miles, but Ive had to bring it in to dealership for repairs already! First incident: Navigation screen kept freezing up and or did not work properly. At one point, I was in Drive but the screen showed the rear view camera on. Very unnerving! I had to pull off the road on several occasions, turn off engine and then restart the car. When I brought car to dealer, they claimed that they did not see the problem. However, after I picked up the car, the problem seems to have disappeared. Hmmm..... Second incident: The brakes started squeaking. Thought it would go away but, no. Brought it back in and was told that something was defective in the installation. They had to put in brand new brake pads. Really??? A brand new car???? So, Im keeping my fingers crossed that nothing else will go wrong. Love the comfort and safety of the car. Fun driving!

  Had the car for 4 weeks. So far everything is as advertised. I love the acceleration and the safety features. I downsized from a 2011 base MDX.

  First try with a luxury brand--2017 Acura RDX AWD - 2017 Acura RDX
  By tabjaxx - October 28 - 3:37 pm

  My wife wanted a small, luxury SUV and we settled on a 2017 Acura RDX AWD base model. It is a solid SUV with nice features for a base model. No squeaks or rattles. Initial gas mileage was 25 mpg before the cold weather settled in, dropping it to a still respectable 23 mpg. I like the variable cylinder management that shuts off 3 cylinders during low output conditions. It is such a smooth process you dont know when it is happening. The technology interfaces are kind of old fashioned for an upper end vehicle. No touch screens or fancy graphics. Buttons and knobs are nicely laid out, but I wish fan speed was controlled by a knob instead of buttons. Radio does not stay on after car shuts off. Seats are comfy, but leatherette surfaces are more like plastic than leather. Heated seats warm up fast, but I miss a heated steering wheel. Elevated rear seats are nice with plenty of legroom. Great visibility out rear and side windows. The 19.5 gallon gas tank could be larger. The AWD version comes with a spare tire instead of a tire repair kit. Headlights look and function great. Overall, happy with the vehicle. It doesnt necessarily have the feel of a luxury vehicle, but we dont feel we paid a luxury price for it either.

  Love the ride and comfort of the RDX

  Like this suv - 2017 Acura RDX
  By Marv - July 30 - 2:22 pm

  We looked at other suvs, found that the Acura had a better price with more opptions. The V6 engine has plenty of power & the transmission works great. We took a long road trip through Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Colorado, Utah & Nevada back to Cal. The car ran great with no problems going over all the mountains. I would recommend an Acura to anyone wanting a mid sized suv

  Great luxury SUV for the money - 2017 Acura RDX
  By Denise - April 23 - 5:53 pm

  I love this car. It has the space and height of an SUV, but drives like a car. The standard features are better than all of the competitors. Acura service is also top notch. They go out of their way to help and accommodate you when you bring the car in for maintenence.

  Gorgeous but Tech Not!! - 2017 Acura RDX
  By Bunni - April 10 - 2:08 pm

  This RDX is gorgeous and unassuming! (Im still getting used to it as Ive owned it for less than 30 day.) I treated myself with the top of the line all the bells and whistles!! I love it!! The only issues I see is with the Navigation system and headlights. I traded a 2015 Jeep Cherokee and expected Acuras Navigation system to be superior, however to my surprise my Cherokees was far more superior and so intuitive. I didnt need to read the manual or look up any info regarding it. Also although Acura advertised the best headlights I cant see a difference from my 2015 Cherokee. As I said I do LOVE this SUV, the ride is very comfortable and I love the AWD and all the safety features. I think this is a great value and I plan to keep this SUV forever!!

  just got it - 2017 Acura RDX
  By brady - March 11 - 1:02 pm

  I have not had my SUV that long, less than a month but I must say I was a little apprehensive about the purchase but after a few days found out that I love it. Gas mileage is not as bad as I thought it would be, some options I would like to have is adjusting the lift gate (hit the garage door when in the garage) my other SUV you could adjust. Size is great, more roomy than I thought it would be and I am very happy with the safety features.
