  Never Again - 2009 Acura RDX
  By Mark from Sacramento - October 21 - 10:22 pm

  My wife got the car and she seems happy with it, but I think the lack of visibility out the back is dangerous. The rear window is very small and then further blocked by the drivers headrest. Visibility out the drivers side is also bad because of the frame between driver and passenger windows. The real problem is the delay in acceleration which is maddening. Delay is usually 1 second but if you really need to pull in front of a car to make an exit you need to know it may the sequence which is engine revs, wait a second, wait a second, and then car accelerates, but not quickly. I cant believe this is supposed to be a premium car. Also high hood blocks forward view a little.

  Buyers Remorse - 2009 Acura RDX
  By AJJ - October 25 - 6:18 pm

  I drove the RDX 2x before deciding to buy and I sincerely regret it. There are just too many quirks in design that make this vehicle really annoying. The gas mileage has not improved with time, only getting 13 mpg. The audio constantly dimming ANYTIME you hit another button on the dash. The drive is similar to a BMW which is fine. The fact that you cannot import an address book with the handsfree is just stupid. Other Acura models have this feature, except RDX. For a few thousand dollars more get a BMW. Yes they nickel and dime you to death on options, but they make a great driving machine. Acura, in my book, has a long way to go.

  RDX Worst Horrible Ride ever - 2009 Acura RDX
  By Frank G CPA - August 23 - 9:14 am

  First the RDX is NOT a luxury auto by any standards. The ride is so harsh that on a mildly bumpy road your head bounces off the restraint. On rough roads you had better hold the steering wheel very tight or you will get bounced off and lose control of the vehicle. I got over the lack of simple luxury items like seats that fold onto themselves and no power rear gate but the ride is something else. I am EXTREMELY sorry that I leased the 08 RDX. Acura has no clue that this is an issue as the response "well it is based on a truck" so I dont expect future models to address the ride.
