Used 2016 Acura RDX SUV Consumer Reviews

Great car, but has one little problem

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.

Loving 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

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.

Great car for the price.

Got my 2016 white rdx fwd advance package. With 2 miles on it.. I got a killer deal.. 42k. Out the door.. 2.9% interests. 5 years. 0 down. N free all season floor mates..no one was willing to lower the price but one dealer did.. No up sale no add on. In n out took 2h because the car just arrive on lot.

Great passing power

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 .

Accura RDX is perfect car

Very nice comfortable ride

Always Reliable RDX

I've got 80K miles on this car and have never had an issue with it. I love the responsiveness, the exterior and interior appearance. Great SUV!

Never selling this SUV

Bought it pre-certified in 2016. Loved it then and now. Love the switch between 4 or 6 cylinders. Saves a lot of gas. Had a civic. All I know is you can try your best you just can’t kill a Honda brand auto. My RDX just turned 63k. Worth every penny. One big CON is TICKETS! I live on probation. But this 6 cylinder loves doing a hundred and very smoothly at that! Will be looking for a new MDX end of year, too many grand kids. But keeping the RDX. Too many good trips.

Love my new RDX

Don't waste your time even looking at the other SUVs.

I miss my CRV

I like the base RDX, but I am gassing every week, when the CRV was every other week. It's an expensive car that requires expensive up keep. I drive the same miles everyday, actually I am driving 4 miles less since I bought the RDX. I told my husband I was keeping this car, but I think I am definitely going back to Honda CRV.

Nice car

Excellent all around. Steering a bit soft. Paddle shifter really smooth, and really helps in winter conditions

A great car, I love it !!

Nice but a little boring

This is my 4th Acura, first SUV. I like it but not as exciting to drive.

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!!

A great car for the price

This is my 4th RDX. I love the car. Everytime my lease comes to an end I look to see what's out there and I can't find a better car at a better price.

awesome car

i love my RDX . Best car for that price . So quite and comfort ride

My first Acura (RDX FWD w/ Acura Watch)

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

Getting a new RDX

Comfotable, fun to drive and very smart!

Happy owner

Bang for my Buck

really nice car. All the options for less than competing vehicles and a 4 year warranty. I love it

Great Car

Can't beat the value

Luv my 2016 RDX

Great vehicle. Handles well and great interior cabin.

Great anA

Good car with not so good mileage.

Overall choice for a car-like ride and clearance.

Roomy interior compared to 2012 CRV. Highs: comfortable seats, good power, good sounding though radio system.Little road noise. Rides like a car. Push button hatch is useful. Useful keyless entry unit opens windows and sunroof to cool car prior to entering. Lows: very low ground clerance for an “SUV”. 4-5 year old entertainment system very similar to wife’s 2012 CRV. Leasing based on $38k sticker price. Smaller trunk space compared to 2012 CRV. 6 speed Transmission not as smooth as with base 2014 BMW 328 sedan. (Eight speed) Will consider Acura TL AWD for next vehicle.
