" Catch a '17 before there gone"

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!

Have had this RDX for 2 months, I cannot wait to get rid of it. The acceleration is so bad.. slow acceleration around town at 2000 rpm the transmission stutter, shutters, pretty much feels like it cannot get to the next gear. Have had it in shop two times in a month.. Not the quality I expected from Honda/Acura.. will Never buy another.

Get an RDX, Can't Lose

Using the navigation system is not intuitive and can be a bit clunky. Everything else is quite good. The only downside so far has been the factory installed car alarm. When loud cars pass by the alarm keeps going off. I took it to the dealer to try to get the settings adjusted but when they said I had to leave the car there for the day just to adjust it, I just left. It's gone off at least a hundred times so it is a bit if a nuisance.

I went from a 2013 CRV and I love the 2017 RDX. It has a nice quiet comfortable ride with plenty of leg room in front and back. The V6 is very smooth and has some get up and go. I love all the safety features in the advanced package. I really like the navigation and being able to send destinations from your phone to your car navigation and calling Acura link to find a destination while driving. The only thing lacking is there is no remote start option on the app and no heated steering wheel.
