Warning do NOT buy, it gets terrible gas mileage
This car drives decently, and maybe average for a "luxury" vehicle. Advertised at getting 19 mpg in the city and will give you 13 mpg on a good day. What's worse is the way Acura has handled it. They are rude on the phone and even take 5 business days to return your call. No other luxury car company would treat customers like this. Highly recommend to avoid Acura.

Think before you buy!
Acura RDX is a great looking car. I am owning a 2018 RDX ADVANCE Package. At 1000 miles my brakes start making noises everytime I stepped on my break. Took it back to the dealer thanks GOD ITS still under warranty. Got my new break pads replace with no charge. My car now at 16,000 miles.. bring in for maintenance and also request to have breaks check due to the stirring wheel shook when I hit the break. Diagnosis, my front Rotors over heated due to break while driving too fast on freeway or while going down hill. NO MORE WARRANTY. Cost estimates $295. I AM VERY UN-SATISFIED WITH MY CAR’s BREAKS from the beginning. I wish Acura has better warranty regarding to breaks since the car has features of HARD BREAKING WHEN DRIVER DRIVE TO CLOSE TO OTHER VEHICLE.

Going on 6 years
I’ve been itching to get a bigger SUV, but I’m finding it’s hard to justify when the RDX I have has performed so well and reliably, esp. compared to the reviews I find re bigger SUVs. My car is at 62K mikes and I’ve literally only ever had to pay for routine maintenance and new tires. I drive it up skiing near Seattle 30+ times each winter, as well as in traffic. Its pretty good in snow (if you know how to drive in snow). It’s acceleration is zippy when I need it . It’s comfortable (to me -6’ tall) driving long distances (eg +500 miles) in a day. The infotainment system took a little getting used to, but it’s fine. I find using Google Maps is just more convenient, personally. The only complaint I have is that the auto speed sensor detects large vehicles on left highway bends if I am passing on the left, as if the vehicle is in my lane in front of me, and the auto deceleration kicks in. A minor nuisance hopefully newer models have addressed. In other words, my next new car might well be another RDX.
What is missing there
Don’t get me wrong- this is a good car, but by my opinion. 1. The driver seat should slide back when engine is turned down to make exit easier. 2. Side mirrors should auto fold on engine off 3. Steering wheel has a bit short range for the adjustments. I’m average sized (5”10’) and struggling sometime with finding best seat/wheel settings. I used to drive FX-35 where had no trouble with it.
