Used 2018 Acura RDX Consumer Reviews
VISABILITY
I just purchased the 2018 RDX Advance Package. This package comes with exterior side mirrors with a film on them which really distorts the driver's vision. It is especially bad on the driver's side where the mirror is divided to see far & near objects which is not necessary. This film only appears on the Advance Package vehicles. Due to the distraction & very poor visibility caused by these mirrors, Acura should issue a "recall" on these vehicles. On the 2018 vehicles this flaw was corrected. Additionally, the interior appointment of this vehicle could be improved with a nicer dash, steering wheel, floor mats, etc. Also, the driver's seat will not push back far enough for my legs to feel comfortable & the driver’s seat is not comfortable. Consequently, I had to buy a seat cushion. Additionally, the ride is far too rigid & stiff taking bumps in the road too harshly. This car rides more like a sports car rather than a fully loaded SUV. I would never recommend this SUV.

Great vehicle- not so good fuel economy
I purchased my 2018 RDX with technology package after a test drive. I was reluctant at first as I never considered myself an SUV guy, but the combination of power, comfort and style won me over. My last ride was a 2013 TSX, which I owned for five trouble free years. The only issue I have with the RDX is the gas mileage- I'm getting around 16-17 with local driving, and that’s with a light foot on the gas pedal. I didn't expect 25mpg city, but did expect better than what I'm getting now. I'm sure highway diving will achieve better results. Otherwise, the vehicle is amazing. smooth transmission, Strikes a good balance between being too wispy or too rough when confronting uneven roads. Very happy with my purchase. A very well made vehicle where the good far outweigh the subpar gas mileage.

RDX reliability is poor Engine mis-fire problems
Be aware that my RDX is a 2018 and is having random check engine lights which means an engine mis-fire. my RDX has only 7,000 miles on it and is having a serious issue. the Engine mis-fire issue is pouring raw fuel (un-spent) into the exhaust system which could lead to a fire. The immediate action was to stop driving the vehicle. So now we have a new RDX that has been in the Acura dealer shop for nearly 5 days with no indication of whats causing this problem. If we do get the car back i am now afraid to drive it due to this issue. So be aware of the reliability issues we are experiencing with our Acura 2018 RDX. This might be a one off but wanted to let others that may be thinking about an Acura RDX know of the problems we are having with a car kept in a garage, maintained and treated with white gloves on.
