Springfield Mitsubishi
2017 Acura RDX I bought 5/11/22 and the transmission is already blown. Hard jerks between gears and pausing during acceleration. Shaking. Ugh

Great ride with great amenities!
Love, love, love it! I buy and keep cars forever. My RDX AWD is a great pick. It is comfortable (given that I have RA) and very classy. It is quick and great in town and on road trips. The interior space is perfect with adequate storage space. Did I mention it is comfortable. The dealer Crown Acura in Clearwater, Fl was excellent to work with. Chris Duncanson made me very happy during the purchase process. Buy it! You'll love it!

Wouldn't buy it again... sorry I bought it...
CONS: Purchased the newest top-of-the-line vehicle available. Picked it up and the Navigation didn't work. Dealer had to replace a wiring harness to fix the problem. Got the car back and now the Radio does not work properly. It sounds ok for a while and then the music sounds tinny like the bass was turned off. the satellite link for radio is terrible. Navigation is difficult to use and often send us out of the way. The voice commands is sketchy at best. Locking the doors on the car is tricky - if you press it twice too close together, the windows and roof open! The Hands Free isn't very adaptive. My 5'10" husband has a great deal of difficulty getting in and out of the car... it is very tight. If you start the car top gear out and walk around to the other side, you can't open the other doors or tailgate. You have to walk around top the driver side and unlock from there. PROS: the back seat covers are fitted perfectly.

Design Defect- Do not Buy
We leased a fully loaded Acura RDX and are very disappointed. There is a clear design defect that Acura dealers deny even knowing about. When driving the side view mirrors show a glare from the air conditioning vents. This is because the vents contain a silver metal design and the sun shows the glare on the side view window. It is more than annoying and is a distraction. When we called the dealers, they claim not to know about it. We even spent money to tint windows, but this failed to help. In calling around to other dealers, we contacted one out of state who acknowledged it was an issue. This dealer said they were changing the vents by inserting a black rim in place of the silver one. Thus, you can now enjoy a far lower priced Honda instead of an Acura!!! Calls to Acura customer service have not been returned as promised. Also, my wife's foot cramps when driving because the pedals are too high. Others have complained about it according to another dealer I spoke with. The Navigation is cumbersome, difficult and voice recognition is terrible. It is hit and miss unless you always want the date. Any other info? forget it. I do not recommend this vehicle to anyone and am surprised that Acura hides these issues. I will try to get out of my lease because of these issues.
