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

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.

I bought my CPO with Advance Package back in early August 2020, so I've had it about 3.5 years now. I've only put about 20,000 miles on it on account of being retired and owning multiple cars, but that 20,000 miles did include several trips of 150 miles each way. My frame of reference is my other car, a '14 Lexus RX 350, and this car is not that. This car is different, with some strengths the Lexus doesn't have, like better handling and acceleration, but it is not the buttery smooth, bank vault solidness that the RX is. I'd highly recommend waiting until you find one with the Advance package. I know those packages are rare, but the ventilated seats, real leather, adaptive cruise control, etc make the wait worthwhile. Overall this is a fine vehicle. Nothing really stands out except that it does have very good acceleration, especially at highway speeds, and the handling is decent for an SUV. It can also return 25 MPG on a highway trip if you keep it around 65-70 MPH. Around town, stop and go driving, crowded suburbs, lots of traffic lights, etc, it only gets about 14-15 MPG. The only issue I've had is a rear hatch issue, possibly a sensor, where the hatch seems to think it's not latched shut, even though it is. This was probably my fault, as I sprayed lithium grease onto the latch and up into the unseen part of the mechanism inside the tailgate. Overall a fine vehicle. I certainly don't mind driving it, and actually enjoy driving it on highway trips, smooth roads, etc. If it does have a weak spot, it's the harsh ride on potholed city roads. Very good seat heaters, and very good sound system with the Advance package. I'd recommend it to anyone. UPDATE: I’ve had the car since summer of 2020. It had about 28,000 miles when I got it. It was a CPO. It’s got the Advance Package, which I highly recommend both for its real leather seats, and its ventilated seats. I’ve now got almost 43,000 miles on it (retired and don’t drive much). If I compare it to my ‘14 Lexus RX, this one rides firmer, and is not as plush inside. That being said, it’s 400 lbs lighter, gets a few more MPG, and handles and accelerates better. I’ve had no issues at all except for a rear hatch sensor and mechanism that needed to be changed after it stopped working. This was probably my fault for spraying white lithium grease up into the mechanism to lubricate it. The dealer claimed it couldn’t just be cleaned off and reinstalled- they insisted on changing it. Other than that, it does eat tires, but as the previous owner of both the Lexus and two FWD Sienas, I’m used to only getting about 30,000 miles out of a set of tires on heavy FWD or AWD vehicles. I also don’t wait until they’re down to 3/32nds, but change them at about 5 or 6/32nds. Overall, it’s reliable, reasonably comfortable, quick, and has a good sound system, at least with the Advance Package, which also includes collision mitigation, lane keeping assist (turned off, lol), the adaptive/smart cruise control that offers a choice of three following distances, and a cross traffic rear alert, which is great for backing out in parking lots. I’d buy it again. I do prefer driving the Lexus, for its comfort and solitude, but the price difference on CPO vehicles with similar mileage is actually over $12,000 now. This is a reasonable alternative that’s not super expensive.

Decent car with some odd issues

Bought with 10k miles after reading lots of reviews. Engine is powerful, but transmission isn’t very fun, sport mode pretty much unusable. Weird rattle from steering wheel that I just found out has a service bulletin on it from Acura so will need to get that fixed. Safety features sound good but adaptive cruise control over reacts and is pretty annoying. The blind spot works great though as does the emergency braking. Makes a squeaking noise when driving at slower speeds in front brake area. Pulls slightly to the right when driving, might just be alignment issue. For the price I was expecting less issues. Super comfortable seats and great acceleration. Good amount of space inside when you need it. Kind of hard to park in tight places like parking garages as it’s kind of wide, and turning radius isn’t great. Performed ok in the snow, not amazing or as good as my Subaru did. Overall I would not recommend this car. I definitely regret buying it. It’s just not very fun to drive. Neither sporty or that utilitarian. For some people I think it would be a good vehicle for some, just not for me.
