Has Your Car's Value Changed?
Used car values are constantly changing. Edmunds lets you track your vehicle's value over time so you can decide when to sell or trade in.
The RDX offers the best overall value for money.
It may not be the best vehicle in each and every category in its class, but when you weigh the pros and cons of the competition, it comes out on top. The factors that I look at in an SUV, are ride, performance, styling, interior room, resale and reliability. Sure, if money wasn't a factor, I would have chosen an Audi 6 cylinder Q5, or a BMW twin turbo X3. I just don't see $10,000 to $12,000 worth of difference. Keep in mind most of the competition comes standard with 4 cylinder engines. The RDX has surpassed my expectations in my early ownership, and I suffer no buyers remorse. My only issue is that I had to pay $468 to the service department for a "spare tire kit", as it comes with only an inflator and sealant pump. Other then that, all is well with my RDX.

Love it.
We traded in a 2004 Acura TL for our new 2016 Acura RDX. My husband and I are Senior citizens and found that the RDX was easier to get in and out. It has the Acurawatch feature which helps us drive our curvy back roads where we live. All and all, its beautiful! We have had it a year now and I am still in love with it. This year I had a very serious spinal surgery and from the time I left the hospital I have had no problems getting in or out. I am a short woman so this is very important to me.

Way better than expected!
We expected the RDX to be a great car but it has exceeded all our expectations. The tech packages work fantastic. The only issue is it offers so much tech that we keep learning new ways to operate the vehicle. The car is very quiet, the ride is smooth and the mileage is very good for a new vehicle. I would recommend the RDX to anyone looking for a smaller vehicle but needs lots of room for riders (I'm 6"2" and my son is 6'5" and sits comfortably in the front seats.)

SOLID PERFORMER
After extensive review of the Acura RDX, I recently purchased a CPO 2016 RDX AWD Advance package vehicle.It is everything and more so far on what I expected. The ride and comfort are on par with the Lexus RX350(which I had previously owned). I am getting better gas mileage and the overall safety features are working as expected.Fit & finish is excellent. I have not been able to drive it yet in poor weather or snow, but I am confident on what I have read, it will perform well despite not having the SH-AWD feature.I will agree the navigation and voice controls are of lesser quality then a BMW or Audi, but the price of this vehicle for what you get in total far outweighs the issues compared to those other vehicles. Call this one a win!

First Acura - mixed feelings
the good stuff - overall a very nice ride. Good safety tech, stereo, looks and power. Stable at speed and good mid range power. Lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control are a great feature. Looks are very good. Stereo sounds very good. Seats are excellent, heated and cooled. dual zone climate control. Several of the electronic features are very helpful. The not so great stuff - Transmission hunts a bit at low speeds on occasion, the nav system is a pain trying to use voice recognition to get a location. Still cant figure out how to just enter an address manually. Mileage is not as good as I had hoped but, mostly city driving so far so may improve. It came down to this and a Lincoln MKC with 2.3 turbo. the Lincoln was faster and more luxurious but, went with the Acura for better resale value.
