I have a 2017 Acura RDX and ever since 500-800 miles alignment issues, dash board noise , steering wheel noise , front brakes make noise. This is leased car and I don't have confidence that this is a great car with ongoing issues that dealer can't fix. Disappointed

We looked at other suv's, found that the Acura had a better price with more opptions. The V6 engine has plenty of power & the transmission works great. We took a long road trip through Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Colorado, Utah & Nevada back to Cal. The car ran great with no problems going over all the mountains. I would recommend an Acura to anyone wanting a mid sized suv

Drive of rdx

Car is great overall the only thing I didn't like were the lights in cargo area and trunk space could be a little bigger but besides that car is fun to drive and also changing the gas from 91 to either 93 or 89 octane because I don't see 91 everywhere I go car has great features and very comfortable to drive through and weather good car over all and I do love the way it drives

I owned a 2009 RDX with technology package and thought it was great. This one is even better. We had a 2012 BMW X3 for a short time but missed features of the RDX. We love our new RDX and because of the safety features the insurance is even cheaper than it was for the 2012 BMW.

Jerking Transmission Issues I Wil Never Buy Again!

I have traded this car. Acura fixed the issues with the car after many tries but I was not happy with the customer service I received from. The local dealership was not a problem, it was Acura customer service. I traded it and will never buy another Acura. I bought a 2017 RDX was very happy at first. Stylish comfortable SUV. Then at 30,000 miles the car suddenly started jerking when accelerating from a stop. Been in the shop st Acura 3 times. Told it was fixed but now started doing it again. An added bonus is now my check transmission light, lane change error light, flashing D light, and emissions light all came on. At this point I feel that the class I expected at this price point and Acura name was misguided at best. I had better luck with cheaper model cars. So as of right now I am scared to drive my newer vehicle very far. And yet again have to take it back to the dealership.
