Affordable luxury and performance
Not as fast as some other options, but still speedy while being much more affordable than those other options. I love the front seats. Extremely comfortable, even for all day drives. Honda reliability with a premium feel. Overall I am really enjoying my new-to-me RDX!
Extremely Comfortable, Storage Could Improve
I have owned my 2013 RDX for a year and a half and have 14,000 miles on it. This is the most comfortable car I have ever driven. On long trips I can be in the car for 4-5 hours and not be stiff. The gas millage is very good for the size of the vehicle. The VCE goes from 6 to 3 on the freeway allowing for good millage on longer hauls. If I went 60-65, I could pull 29 MPG on standard hauls (no major mountains). City/Highway combo I get 22-24. The biggest issue I have is the poor design of the storage space in the back. When you drop the rear seats they do not lie flat which greatly decreases your ability to load the back. It creates a slant upward which makes it difficult to stack items. Given the rest of how well the rest of the vehicle is laid out, I'm not sure why Acura engineers did such a bad job when considering how to get the most out of the back. I believe this vehicle is the smallest in square footage of storage and this is the primary reason why. *UPDATE I have had a problem with annoyingly squeaky brakes on this car in the past few months. Their is an Acura service bulletin telling dealers to replace the front pads to get rid of this. If you do a Google search you can find it. If you own one and your dealing with this take it to the dealer and have them replace the pads, should be free of charge.

Ho Hum
Just got rid of the Acura RDX and got and infinity QX50 with Navigation, loaded for $50 a month less than the Acura. The RDX in my mind was a Honda CRV, same tiny display that looked exactly like the Honda, the blue tooth was terrible (I came out of a TL) and it was a step backwards. The Infinity is more comfortable, better equipped and truth be told, while Acura is a step above others in a buying experience sense, the Infinity is in a class above, really first rate. I would have considered the MDX but it was way over priced. Sorry to leave Acura but honestly they have changed as a car company in my mind. The QX50 is a much better car as far as I am concerned.

Seats Comforts
Make sure the passenger side can be raised or you have to order one that does. Otherwise my car for the last 5 years has been wonderful.

Great value
This car is a great value to the price. Very quiet inside, comfortable, great handling. I am in search for the replacement and drove new BMW X3, Lexus RX, Jaguar F-pace, Volvo XC60. Never felt bad after getting back to my 5-6 years old RDX from this newer cars and decided to wait for new 2019 RDX.
