2016 Acura RDX Technology Package 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
The RDX probably isn't the best vehicle in the small luxury SUV category in any particular attribute, but it does score near the top in most attributes, and it's that, combined with a price $10,000 or more lower than similarly equipped competition, that makes it a great buy as well as a very enjoyable vehicle. We've found it very comfortable on a long road trip and around town. We also … feel that the understated styling will endure over time without looking odd or dated.
Great value as a used lux crossover

2016 Acura RDX Technology Package 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
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.
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.
Acura RDX needs a makeover
HowardG, Plainview, NY, 06/04/2018
2016 Acura RDX Technology Package 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
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.
