Upscale SUV

Great look. Drives very well. Very disappointed that at this premium price for an upscale SUV the sound quality is mediocre. The Bluetooth keeps on dropping the calls and the phone sound quality is poor.

Acura RDX - Good Vehicle

Excellent fuel economy, very stable on mountain roads. Slight pitching due to firm suspension. High window sills provide a sensation of reduced visibility.

Transmission problems

I have had my RDX (purchased new) a few months shy of two years. The car is perfect for me, the right size, decent gas mileage, enough power. Until about a month ago that is, it started having a strong jerk upshifting to second gear, it was intermittent. After the third time of experiencing this, I took it to the dealership, who mentioned nothing about this being a known problem. They said they couldn't replicate the problem, so I got to run around using Lyft for the day. The problem happened 4 days later and I drove to the dealership, this time the problem replicated and the tech who was driving with me said this is a known problem. Thanks for wasting my Saturday. I hope they can fix it.

Acura RDX needs a makeover

The Acura RDX is well made with some classier features over the Honda lineup but they really need to step up their technology. The SUV is solid riding, quiet and comfortable but the air vents are not layered out well and do not hold cell phones in almost any position. The Bluetooth is quirky with iPhones and the navigation is fair at best. They need an upgrade soon for the premium price of this vehicle.
