Great car, but has one little problem

2016 Acura RDX Technology Package 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

I was looking for an SUV which is smaller then 6 seater but bigger then an average sedan. This car ia great! its very powerfull and acceleration is quick. There are plenty of room in a trunk. The only problem I have is that, I cannot get comfortable in the driver seat. I'm 6 feet tall ans struggling to find a proper ratio. If I move the seat too far back then my hands become stretched out, and If I pull it closer them my knees "touch my ears"( seat at 105-120 degrees). This problem is not only mine because my friend is 6'1 and has exactly same problem. Before you lease or buy, make sure to test drive!! Also, I get about 11-12 mpg in NYC, and Im not even pushing it.

Bought an RDX Advance model and so far I love it. The nav unit and center console took time to get use to but now a I float with ease. Awesome SUV!!

Disappointing

2016 Acura RDX Technology and AcuraWatch Plus Packages 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

The technology package is all the sales people talk about, but so much has been removed from the luxury of previous models. The chrome-look has been removed from most of interior, the navigation box is too small and the touch screen is difficult to operate. The luxury is gone, interior looks and feels smaller, doors even feel lighter. The front of the vehicle has been redesigned and looks great, but everything else was too significantly flawed to hold my interest. By comparison, very disappointing compared to the 2014 model I previously owned and way overpriced. I chose not to purchase.

If you live in rural areas, RDX is your good choice. You can easy passing any car when you are going up hills or passing the slow farm truck. But you still got good mpg. I drives mostly highway. I got 24mpg. On first 12000 mile. Update 3 years of ownership, i have been moved from iowa to los angeles area. I have transmission problems and engine oil leaking issues and the rear passenger seat bait problem but it was covered by Acura warranty services. I drive 50% highway and got 20 mpg only from 12000 to 30000 miles. I have been drove my RDX from Iowa to Los Angeles, it was more then 1890 mile one way. I got 26 mpg. It was no problem on Rocky mountain. I have a 2016 toyota tundra with 5.7L engine. I drove the same route from iowa to los angeles. I have problem to go up hill without towing and heavy load. My cruise control have three time lost power when uphill. It was acceptable. Update my 4th years of ownership, My car just hit 57000 mile. I drive 90% in local street right now. I just got 19 mpg. I just have a brake sensor problem. I have been paid for $180 to fixed. The car still good. The leather still look new without any special care. Only complaint is the oil change. All of the Honda and Acura have a sensor and service reminder to show you which service you need to do and how my percent duo. After i move to Los Angels. I needed to go to dealer almost every 4500 to 5000 mile from around 6 to 7000 in iowa with 90% of highway drive. So i need to go to dealer every 3 to 4 months. The micheline tire just down to 3/32 .
