Used 2014 Acura RDX 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Huge disappointment
After having nothing but great experiences with our last 5 hondas, the Acura RDX was a complete disappointment. Above 60 on smooth highway, its a pretty good ride. But around town in the sub 45 range, it is horrible! Within 3 months of owning it, we had all of the struts replaced under warranty. This made no difference. I don't understand this since it is basically a CRV chassis and the CRV rides quite a bit better. I thought maybe something was wrong with this particular one, but after reading other peoples experiences on Acurazine, this is the norm. Not just with RDX, but all Acura models at this time. 1st Acura I've owned, and last! Traded it in after 14 months, 12000 miles.
farm wife's truck
THis car is one of the best I have driven. I have had Mercedes, and Lexus. My Acura is s mudder, and a snow machine. It is convenient to haul everything from grain to kids. The awd is super, and handles all weather. Also is a nice dress up car for church. One thing...........terrible connections for my iphone. You have to have a flashlight to find the charger. I would buy another rdx.

Continue to be Disappointed
The RDX replaced my 2011 Q5. I bought it because it had more standard features than a Q5, was $5000 less than a Q5 and positive reviews. It is a good car in many respects but the suspension, interior quality and road noise reduction are less that what you expect from a "luxury class" SUV. The vehicle now has about 36K miles and the dealer has had to replace the rear struts twice and fix an annoying drive train vibration. I also replaced the brakes and rotors at 24K miles at my cost - Acura said brakes were not covered by warranty even with relatively low mileage. The repair shop said the rotors were warped and this should not happen in any vehicle with only 24K miles.

RDX AWD
This car finally stopped or revolving negative equity and big repairs. Cost to own was very good and I was surprised at the value for regular maintenance at the dealer for tires, transaxle, brakes, etc. My wife still likes driving this car after 150k miles in 5-years, but we need to get into a new car in-time to pay-off before our son drives and needs a car (so we don't need to drive him everywhere)... Looking to take the next step into an MDX since this RDX was so good. Oh yeah, AWD is great in the snow (we live in NE ohio snow belt) and when I drive I have to watch speed as this thing has giddy-up, even at 150k.

Look elsewhere!
I have had my 2014 RDX for just over a month. Worst car I've ever owned. Has a constant vibration, hesitant transmission, rear shocks had to be replaced due to clunking noise, and the list of problems go on. If you are considering purchasing the Acura RDX, my advice is to look elsewhere.
