2018 Acura RDX Advance Package 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
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.

2018 Acura RDX Advance Package 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
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.
Great value but…..

Has many of the features it's more expensive competitors have. Great value. But cost of repairs at dealers for other than A1 and B1 maintenance has gotten expensive.
love it

Edmunds Summary Review of the 2018 Acura RDX Advance Package SUV
What’s new
- No changes for 2018
- Part of the second RDX generation introduced for 2013
Pros & Cons

- Pro:Generous cargo capacity for the segment
- Con:Technology interface can be distracting to use

Which RDX does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend a fully loaded RDX with the Advance package and all-wheel drive since it's barely more expensive than the most basic BMW X3, Jaguar F-Pace or Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class and provides the gamut of driver assist and infotainment technology, not to mention V6 power.
Full Edmunds Review: 2018 Acura RDX SUV
Driving
7.5The RDX's smooth-revving V6 sounds great and is responsive. Equipped with the optional AWD system, the drivetrain can send up to 40 percent of its torque to the rear wheels if slip is detected from the front wheels, perfect for slippery roads and performance driving.
Comfort
8.5Acura achieves a high level of comfort in the RDX that makes it an excellent daily driver, yet provides the space and flexibility for a multitude of weekend activities. Plus, the comprehensive suite of optional AcuraWatch active safety features provides added peace of mind.
Interior
8.5The sleek-looking exterior of the RDX belies the generous space within. Highlights include an extra-wide cargo hatch opening and ample shoulder and legroom for all occupants. Also, the standard rearview camera provides three useful camera modes: normal, wide angle and a top bumper view.
Utility
At 26.1 cubic feet, it's not the largest trunk in class, but a significantly wider rear hatch opening makes loading a breeze. Redundant seatback releases for the 60/40-split bench (one trunk, one on either side of the bench shoulders) are highly convenient.
Technology
The Technology package adds a second screen, 10-speaker audio system, voice-operated navigation and climate control, and smartphone integration. While fumbling with the controls and screens can be distracting, the system is useful.
