Used 2019 Acura RDX Consumer Reviews
Transmission delay,
This acura started having transmission problem after a month we bought. We brought to dealership and they said computer was learning the driving skills of the driver which is me. I kept driving even though it was extremly dangerous cuz it lose power suddenly on freeway. After 2years, I called Acura dealer again and tbey said the car is still learning.... I know Honda has the worst transmission reputation and I got tricked again.. Don't waste your money and time. Go get Toyota or Lexus. You won't regret.

Awesome car in almost every way
I've owned close to 30 cars in my life, and at 65 years old I remember how crappy cars used to be. After 10,000 miles, my 2019 (used) RDX Advance rates #1 of all those cars (including a Porsche 911). There are so many useful features, and I'm still discovering more. The 2L turbocharged engine is surprisingly powerful and the exhaust is pleasingly throaty for such a small engine. The car is very sporty. I got the 2-tone (gray and black) interior with real wood accents, which looks awesome. The seats are more comfortable on my hip and lumbar problems than any car I've owned. After 10,000 miles under my ownership, the automatic braking system already prevent a rear-end crash that would have totaled the car. The cruise control produces a virtual self-driving experience... you just need to steer. The only complaint I have is the push-button transmission, which is slightly (but annoyingly) slower to shift than a regular transmission shifter...but I can live with it. At 36,000 miles the heater/AC fan speed is screwing up, but the car is still under warranty and I don't expect any car to be problem-free. On a 10-point scale, I'd give my car a 9.5 overall. The exterior lines of the car (gray exterior looks best to my eye) are very nice, and the headlight design is arguably the best out there. It looks better than the Audis and other comparable models on the road. I pretty much love the car, and have only mentioned a fraction of the nice features.

If navigation is important to you DON'T buy this car. From day one the navigation system did not work. I have had several updates the latest 2/2021 and the system is no better. I contacted Acura and HERE the makers of the navigation system and the only response I got is, your running the latest software. Ive tried all three route setups with no success. Use your phone for navigation if you don't want to go in circles.

This is the perfect smaller, but not too small or too big suv

Great car, falls short on the Nav System
I am a long time Acura customer. I owned the first years of MDX, TL, and RDX and have waned or leased 8 Acuras. The quality of the cars have all been good. Literally, no repairs in what would 25 Acura years. The dealership is superb. They have always been problematic with tech stuff. MDX had a poor phone/bluetooth setup. Way too complicated. They have improved horsepower, torque, ride quality but cannot get the tech stuff straight. My NAV system is bad enough I don't use it. It takes me on rides that are bizarre. They need a setting for "surprise me" or "scare the crap out of me". The system for my second last RDX was at least 300ft off which is a disaster if you're in a small neighborhood with one way streets. My sense is that they don't intend to fix this or they would have. Sadly, I will try a Lexus next time.
