Very comfortable, more than adequate power, a pleasure to drive, especially on the open road. This suv could easily go all day smoothly and quietly at 80 mph. No maintenance issues so far.

Having given the base RDX a good year of use and driving 13k+ miles, I can report the following: THE GOOD (1) Ride is very comfortable, (2) road noise is low, (3) no issues with electronics or connecting my iPhone, (4) faux leather cleans up easily, (5) VERY fast and responsive acceleration, (6) nice, tight feel to the ride, (7) good sound system, (8) cabin is comfortable and solid feeling. Now the NOT SO GOOD (1) HORRIBLE, I repeat, HORRIBLE gas mileage. I get a combined 19 MPG, and probably only around 14 MPG around town - I was shocked at the numbers coming off owning a Honda CR-V. For this reason alone, I will probably look at other brands for my next car. If you live in a flat area of the country and never use the AC, perhaps you'll get better mileage. (2) storage and cargo space is lacking and not very well thought out, (3) NO spare tire, and (4) jerky feel to the transmission when slowing/downshifting.

Great value as a used lux crossover

After reviewing on Edmunds and elsewhere I picked one up in 2019 to use as a high mileage sales car. Now my wife and I use it more than the big Suburban sitting in the driveway. Great get in and go SUV, great V6 power and rev sound, smooth tranny, nice handling and ride. Comfortable for a big guy like me. AWD is basic and really only works for getting up hills and starts in snow. Easy to work on if you are into self maintenance. Cons - wish it had wider tires (cosmetic thing), wish it had better infotainment system (very hard to use), wish it looked more upscale and less like a Honda CRV, wish it had higher towing capacity (probably can tow more that it is rated for). Issues - jerky shifting transmission - if this happens to you with your RDX it is a common issue and the dealer knows exactly what it is and how to fix it. If the dealer acts like they don't know - they know. Other than that it is a super great value when purchasing as a used car.
Best buy in its class

I took delivery a few weeks ago and am very happy with this decision. I looked hard at the Audi Q5, Lexus F sport, Infiniti Q50, Mercedes ML, Honda CRV, Range Rover Evoque, BMX X3 and Porsche Macan. When you put them all together and try to evaluate performance, reliability, value, and comfort, the 2016 RDX came out on top. I look forward to many years with this vehicle.
Navpackage is not soa. Not recommended.

Update at 56000 miles. OEM tires replaced. Car is in like new condition. Very pleased with it. Navpackage remains a waste...apple play would have been nice but not offered on 2016. Rest of review at 36k miles valid. 36,000 miles in, have come to live with the idiosyncracies of the electronics. The car is solid, gas milage is good...just under 30 on the highway. Still a quiet vehicle. Found that we prefer the conflicting traffic signal in the rear view mirror to the other honda variant with a tv screen and rear view camera. Lka is a light touch...not perfect but a good support system. The auto braking system is helpful. Best of all is the modern brakes...came to stop quickly on a night-black-ice road, true and straight. Others behind me went off the road. It is amazing (enginneeing marvel) to actually see how the 4 wheel drive system works when our car is dricen up an icy driveway.
