  Good Vehicle But Not a Luxury Ride - 2018 Acura RDX
  By N1128Q - August 18 - 1:37 am

  The 2018 RDX is good but basically a Honda with some nice touches and a different grill. Ive leased Audi vehicles for several years but decided to go with the Acura because the 2018 Audi Q5s lease quote was about $100/month higher for a similarly equipped vehicle. After driving the RDX for a couple of months, I can see why. The difference in interior materials, engineering, and overall luxury show that the Audi is far better. In particular, Im disappointed in the assembly quality. Exterior panels have uneven gaps, bolts and screws are visible, and there are other areas that show that Honda took assembly and materials shortcuts which a "luxury" brand should not do. In addition, the dealership experience left a lot to be desired as the RDX was not prepped correctly, tires were over-inflated, the front license plate bracket was not attached, and (not to sound petty but this goes to the "experience" factor) I did not receive a full tank of gas. When I said something to the salesman, he brushed it off. Since then, I have not heard from the dealer or from Acura - even to see if Im enjoying the vehicle. Overall, Ill keep the RDX but think Ill go back to Audi for my next vehicle. This is an update of the review I posted in October. Since then, my RDX developed squeaks, rattles, and buzzing that demonstrated the indifferent quality of assembly and the poor choice of materials. The voice recognition system got even worse and trying to work with it in traffic almost resulted in accidents on two occasions. While the navigation system could ultimately find the desired destination, it never chose the best or even safest route. The seats became more uncomfortable over time, to such an extent that my wife had to use a seat cushion to even sit in the vehicle for a drive longer than 30 minutes. Finally, at 7800 miles on the odometer I gave up, "bit the financial bullet", and got out of my lease. Acura may aspire to premium status but I know Ill never get another one. The materials, assembly, fit and finish, and technology are, at best, equal to Honda but at Lexus prices. My wifes Hyundai Elantra is a better vehicle than the Acura RDX.

  Great buy - 2018 Acura RDX
  By E.K. - March 2 - 11:32 am

  I ve only had my SUV a month and I love it. It handles well in the freezing rain. Everything about it is great except for acceleration from starting point. Also it uses 91 octane or higher which is more costly. I find I have to go to gas up more often although I dont let it go below 1/4 of a tank. I drive a lot and dont want to run out in the middle of nowhere. Overall I think this is a good automobile and am enjoying it a whole lot. I would buy another.

  Downsized from a Buick Enclave and was worried about losing the comfort of a bigger SUV. Worries were not warranted. I love the RDX !!!!
