Traded in after 7 months for REAL luxury SUV

What a waste of time and money for a "Honda". I purposely purchased a RDX w/ tech package for the navi and the so called premium audio system. I ended up using google maps on my phone for directions. The RDX navi couldn't find half the places I wanted directions to and worse neither the navi nor a live Acuralink representative could give me correct directions to the nearest ER. I ended up at dead end streets. I brought the car in to be checked and Acura couldn't find any problems. What made me trade it in after only putting 2,000 miles on the SUV was the day I almost collided head on with oncoming traffic due to the fact that I was using Google maps to find a local business. After that, all I wanted to do was get rid of the near cause of a death or two. Will NEVER buy a Acura again!!

Pro: Most of the parts worked very well. Con: The transmission is not as smooth and sometimes jitters found at low speed start, especially when the engine is cold. Other thought: Wish the screen for backup camera could be 6" or larger. Update 7/9/18: Pro: The engine is probably the best in the segment, although the max torque output could be at lower RPM. More confident for the V6 than the turbo engines. Very reliable, nothing needs to be fixed so far! Cons: Tires screech easily at the start. The Backup camera has poor visibility at dark.

Overpriced luxury SUV

While it is marketed along the other luxury SUVs like Lexus RX, Infiniti, Lincoln MKX - Acura RDX is not at the same level as Lexus...in terms of comfort, driving, interior design, etc. It feels smaller inside and a bit rough in driving
