  Great SUV - 2017 Acura RDX
  By Rich - January 8 - 2:05 am

  I went from a 2013 CRV and I love the 2017 RDX. It has a nice quiet comfortable ride with plenty of leg room in front and back. The V6 is very smooth and has some get up and go. I love all the safety features in the advanced package. I really like the navigation and being able to send destinations from your phone to your car navigation and calling Acura link to find a destination while driving. The only thing lacking is there is no remote start option on the app.

  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.

  Wouldnt buy it again... sorry I bought it... - 2017 Acura RDX
  By K Gordon - September 13 - 4:49 pm

  CONS: Purchased the newest top-of-the-line vehicle available. Picked it up and the Navigation didnt work. Dealer had to replace a wiring harness to fix the problem. Got the car back and now the Radio does not work properly. It sounds ok for a while and then the music sounds tinny like the bass was turned off. This is VERY irritating as it doesnt matter what form radio / sirius / ipod - so either the wiring or speakers are messed up. Navigation is difficult to use and I still havent figured out how to add the way points for trips. Locking the doors on the car is tricky - if you press it twice too close together, the windows and roof open! And the remote start is very picky and difficult to get to work. The Hands Free isnt very adaptive. My 510" husband has a great deal of difficulty getting in and out of the car... it is very tight. PROS: the back seat covers are fitted perfectly.

  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.

  Get an RDX, Cant Lose - 2017 Acura RDX
  By New Car Owner - March 1 - 1:26 pm

  Using the navigation system is not intuitive and can be a bit clunky. Everything else is quite good. The ony downside so far has been the factory installed car alarm. When loud cars pass by the alarm keeps going off. I took it to the dealer to try to get the settings adjusted but when they said I had to leave the car there for the day just to adjust it, I just left. Its gone off at least a hundred times so it is a bit if a nuisance.

  Nicely finished great drive with confusing Tech IF - 2017 Acura RDX
  By Norm in Amish Country - December 20 - 5:57 pm

  Love the fit and finish throughout the exterior and interior of the RDX. I like that I can plug in my iPod and control it completely from the audio interface. The interface, however, is far from intuitive and Ive often had to pull over in order to work through several attempts to complete an action (One example: search for and play a single song then revert back to shuffle and play the entire collection). The front doors close with a nice solid "thunk". The rear doors seem very light and uninsulated. The gas tank could be larger -- its 16 gallons which, with an average 23 mpg around town, gets me through about 380-400 miles before needing a refill. Seems to come up way more quickly than my former car (a Buick Lacrosse that had a much larger tank and got slightly fewer mpgs). I appreciate the ease of entry, the controls and comfort of the drivers seat, and the get-up-and-go when you hit the gas. Love the car!

  RDX - Outstanding value with Class - 2017 Acura RDX
  By Be Pivirotto - July 4 - 10:03 am

  Really enjoy the RDX and compared to my brothers Lexus, it blows it out of the water. Instrumentation is the only negative as it is very confusing and not easy to intuitively understand the functions. The split screens are also confusing and should be combined into one screen and not the dual screen method as of now. Ride, handling, safefy features such as lane departure and lane departure assist are outstanding! So glad I decided on the RDX.
