Love my 2017 RDX , only has 1,200 miles, but I've had to bring it in to dealership for repairs already! First incident: Navigation screen kept freezing up and or did not work properly. At one point, I was in Drive but the screen showed the rear view camera on. Very unnerving! I had to pull off the road on several occasions, turn off engine and then restart the car. When I brought car to dealer, they claimed that they did not see the problem. However, after I picked up the car, the problem seems to have disappeared. Hmmm..... Second incident: The brakes started squeaking. Thought it would go away but, no. Brought it back in and was told that something was defective in the installation. They had to put in brand new brake pads. Really??? A brand new car???? So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that nothing else will go wrong. Love the comfort and safety of the car. Fun driving!

Update #3: Our RDX now has over 80,000 miles on it (as of Sept 2020). If someone tells you that a highly reliable, very enjoyable car with great safety can't be made in the U.S., they would be incorrect. Not a single repair. This car was built in the U.S. Given our ever changing world, I am just so glad to support a good management team along with the U.S.-based people that built and maintain this car. I am hopeful Acura will follow a similar path as Porsche, and return the RDX to six-cylinder power. This car has plenty, plenty of torque and horsepower. Although it continues to get in excess of 30mpg on the highway, it would be great for a new RDX to get better mileage than this one or also the current, new RDX. As a bit of a sidenote, the original equipment Michelin tires lasted more than 60,000 miles. Since most of my time now in the car is highway commuting and I prefer to listen to the radio, I am even more glad for the high quality stereo. Update #2: Our RDX now has over 51,000 miles on it (as of Sept 2019), and we remain completely satisfied with this car. We have used two Acura dealers for servicing, which has worked extremely well and been a pleasant surprise. I started taking it to the dealer for maintenance only to ensure the Certified Preowned Warranty was complied with - I'm now comfortable with the two local Acura dealers, unlike almost all other car dealers. At this point, I'm glad we had the tires rotated several times in the past. Best I can tell the OEM Michelin tires will still go another few thousand miles before needing replacement. Acura has done a great job with the design, construction, and ongoing support of this vehicle. Update: We are now 10 months into our ownership of this car. Since then, two other family members have bought or leased new Acura SUVs based on our favorable experience. We use the car quite a bit. It will probably have around 23,000 miles by the end of our first yr of ownership. We bought it certified pre-owned with about 3,000 miles already on it. I still very strongly believe we bought the best and right car for us and our needs. Haven't had any repair needs. I regret having the tires & wheels rotated - the car now has a very, very slight pull to it, which didn't exist before the tire rotation. With the car being 4WD, I should have been much less concerned about tire rotation. Overall, though, this is just a great car. Encourage you to read my further notes below, as I don't have any revisions to my earlier comments. Thank you Acura! We are about six months into our ownership of a '17 Acura RDX AWD with the Technology package. We also strongly considered a Volvo V70 Cross Country, RAV4 Hybrid, and a Chevrolet Impala. V70 doesn't have near the rear seat leg room that the RDX has, which was important for us since we have taller teenagers. Impala would have been a solid choice for us as well. Also strongly considered a RAV4Hybrid; not sure you can tow anything behind it due to the hybrid drivetrain? Definitely like the controls in the RDX - seem notably better than even those in the new MDX. Upgraded stereo with HD radio was well worth it. Very thankful for the generous cargo capacity behind the rear seats. We had a hitch installed at the dealer. Although the towing capacity is not high, it certainly expanded the usefulness of the vehicle. This thing is truly a Sport Utility Vehicle in the best sense of the category. The drivetrain is just awesome. To get somewhere around 30 mpg on the highway with that amount of power available (and safety) is amazing. Transmission shifts extremely smoothly. If I could choose one upgrade for this car in the future, it would be for either an "eco mode" that shifts the transmission sooner, thus saving on gas, or an extra gear in the transmission for less consumption on the highway. One other suggestion: a buzzer should automatically sound immediately if the car is put into gear with the parking brake set. There have been two instances where I put the car in reverse and started to back out of a parking space with the parking brake on. I only got a few feet before the warning was sounded, but makes no sense why this warning wouldn't take place sooner. Another important point: this car is made in the USA!

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

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.

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.
