With the glowing Edmunds review I thought this was the one. Then we took it on a test drive. The road noise was so bad that while on the highway you could not hear the person siting next to you with a normal speaking voice. And, you had to almost scream to hear or be heard from the back seat. Yes, the technology is great and with it being a Honda, the reliability would probably be excellent as well, but the interior noise just kills the deal. Also, the rear seats are rather hard and not very comfortable.

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.

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.

Downsized from a Buick Enclave and was worried about losing the comfort of a bigger SUV. Worries were not warranted. I love the RDX !!!!

Test drive all the competition. BMW, audi,Lexus etc. Saved thousands. Does everything very well. I've now been driving the rdx for a few months and my opinion is the sa.same. I couldn't be happier!
