Used 2016 Acura RDX Consumer Reviews

Best Value SUV in the Marketplace

Received delivery of our RDX AWD Advanced this past Thursday and have loved every minute with it. Compared to the Lexus NX200t, Land Rover Discovery Sport and Lincoln MKC and found it to be the best driving of the bunch and the best value in themarket. Enjoy all of the technology features, smooth and comfortable drive, great fit and finish and the appealing interior and exterior design. We bought into the high Acura reliability and safety features.

Another disappointment

This is my second RDX. I had a 2013 Base AWD drive model which was a very nice car but lacked the technology options. Now I have an 2016 Advanced AWD and the technology looks promising but disappoints again. The Nav system has only level of directions; no verbose or minimal. The instructions do not override the radio . I would like to have the radio go silent so I can hear the instructions. Yes I can turn the instructions off which is nice. The speed limit is not shown (nicer would be if the speed would go red if I above it - either 1 mph or some amount I specify). The nice folks at Acura could not help me move my addresses from my Garmin to the Acura Nav system. Wonder if Acura will ever truly think through the tech on their cars? After 2 years. While the car is a pleasant to drive, I find it taking in a number of ways. - Adaptive cruise control is very abrupt, especially when someone moves into my lane. - The rear area is too small. My wife has an outback and her back area is about a foot longer. - Fuel economy is the same (on paper) as the MDX though the MDX is significantly larger and weighs much more. After two years with the car, I am trading it in for more space on an Outback. Not as fancy, not as plush, but at least I will not feel cheated. Acura failed to deliver on (1) fuel economy, (2) technology, and (3) interior space. I believe all this was done to protect the more pricy and profitable MDX line. Here is a message for Acura - if you don't eat your own lunch, someone else will do so. In protecting the MDX from the dumbed-down RDX you have made the RDX vulnerable to competitors. And I have succumbed to a better car, IMO, at a much lower price. After 2 years I decided to change to a Subaru Outback. It has more space in the back and is a more honest car. No dumbing down, WYSIWYG.

Nice looking 2016 SUV!

I just bought mine in June. Love the look! Roomy and smooth ride! I just wish Acura still make V4 with turbo. Still loving it after 1 year.

If you own Iphone don’t buy this car

I have had nothing but trouble with this RDX tech package . Won’t display songs , speakers go in and out , navigation doesn’t work properly. Took it in to Acura of Peoria and they couldn’t find anything wrong . It’s crap . The amount of money for the car . The sales man there Jon Lozano straight up lied to me . This is not ok . He avoided my calls after promising me they would take care of me . Never , would I recommend this vehicle to anyone . Nor would I recommend this particular dealership

Love our first Acura
