2017 Acura RDX Technology Package 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
7 of 8 people found this review helpful
It turned out to be just an OK SUV. The fit and finish is not on par with other luxury vehicle's of the same category. There seems to be some rattling and squeak issues. So far I have put about 2500 miles mostly highway. Gives decent mileage for a V6 engine. Update after 26000 miles - A reliable vehicle with plastic rattle and squeak issues. Getting about 28 mpg combined with premium octane fuel.

Purchased 17' CPO RDX Tech AWD with 9900 miles on it from paragon acura. (CPO is a joke!) Few days later noticed a tapping noise coming from the engine compartment. Took it to one of the local dealers. I had to leave my CPO(!!!) car there for 14 days for Torque Converter replacement. Done. The tapping noise is gone. Great. ... Now I got a few new problems: 1. Upshifting hesitation @ 20 mph. 2. Rough downshifting @ 20 mph. 3. Feel a jerk just before it comes to a complete stop. Will take it back to them next week. As soon as I got out from the dealer decided to check on their work...oh my... Drivers side mirror scratched, plastic engine cover under the hood was not secured- just left loose on the engine, 4 plastic clips are missing on under-the-hood panels. So much for 2017 acura CPO junk... Never again.

Nav system and Acura watch are totally worthless.

Nav system is terrible. Multiple steps to perform the simplest function. Voice recognition is so poor it's almost amusing to see what they come up with. Phone system is almost as bad. I've given up and use my own phone for navigation if I want no problems. Acura should refund the cost. Front seats are short and hard like sitting on bleachers. Ergonomics are joke.

I did extensive research on smaller/midsize SUV's. I concluded the Audi Q5 and BMW 3 were not much better, seemed smaller, although specs don't back that up, and simply not worth the added cost. It came down to the Ford Edge Titanium with301 package with V6 in white and RDX with Advance Package. Liked the extra cargo space of the Edge and thought it was a very quiet comfortable ride. The bottom line negatives were poor Ford resale value versus the RDX, the lower gas mileage with the V6, the Sony sound system and "slightly" less interior quality. When Acura announced 2017 clearance prices last month, I was able to get one for the same price as the loaded Edge. I have driven now for 3 weeks and I am very satisfied with my decision. The infotainment system is a little hard to get used to but I am finding that the overall technology used in the Acura is really quite amazing. The engine does not hesitate like the Edge V6 also. Get the great price on 17's right now!

SUV has been reliable and comfortable after 20k and 3.5 yrs. No service needed other than the navigation and tech voice interface are worst I've ever had and same as Honda which was very poor - still no updates to improve system. Gas mileage is less than window sticker at average 18 mpg but acceptable for V6 that is smooth and peppy. Time to get a replacement - wont be another Honda just due to voice/nav system. Love my new Volvo XC60 T8 - whole different level.
