I owned 2 hondas before, which I loved. About 1 momth ago bought a new Acura rdx SH-Awd 2019. Very comfortable, luxury looking. To the bad surprise, over the past week I had two problems with acceleration, like I was stuck in traffic light or stop for some time, accelerating very slowly. Then 2 days ago my car would not accelerate at all, while revving at 5-6 rpm, barely moving on the road. I had to call towing. Now got a courtesy car from dealership, but they have not been able to identify the problem, saying now it works ok. I would not risk that type of failure on the busy freeway, so would not drive that car until problem is found. So Lynn, who wrote a review on 7/15, you are not the only “unlucky” person. It seems flaws are not due to luck at all, but rather due to manufacturer flows. I would not recommend buying these cars until more reports would start to come up, since everything is different in this new model, transmission, engine, etc. I am very disappointed.

Brand new RDX. Barely got it home and the transmission failed immediately and requires replacement. Beware of transmission in the 2019 RDX!!

Best Bang for the Buck

The newly designed RDX is almost perfect. Starting from the looks and exterior to the interior fit and finish the vehicle is top notch. I chose the base model because it had everything I needed. I did not want to spend a whole lot for the bells and whistles (though I would have if I didn't have two kids in college). The engine is very responsive with excellent power. The electronics is superb. My IPhone works seemlessly with the cars bluetooth. The voice recognition is very good in spite of my accent. As others have mentioned the touch pad does need getting used to. Once you get the hang of it, it seems the most logical thing to do as far as safety. The seats are extremely comfortable with lumbar support (front). My only suggestion is that the base model should have included the blind spot monitoring - now only higher models come with it. I love the vehicle. It is not cheap but I think it is the best value in a luxury compact SUV.

Traded in a 2016 AWD Tech and overall happy with the upgrade and i expect it to be just as reliable but in the long run the proven V6 and 6speed seem bulletproof. I also cant explain why the outgoing model was quicker and more efficent. The 19’s brakes have been noisy since day 1 with the dealer not able to reproduce the noise(go figure). I also dont like the infotainment unless using apple car play. Acceleration and handling are superb but in Puerto Rico the streets are pretty bad and the sportiness quickly turns rough. Another plus are the headlights but they are to bright for oncoming traffic.

Regretting my decision on RDX 2019

I wanted to love this car, my boyfriend has been leasing Acura's for over 10 years and loves his TLX and has been harping me to get into an Acura. Up until this year I thought the RDX was ugly and since they just revamped everything I decided to get the 2019 RDX. I wanted the A-spec but the dealer made it very un-affordable for me so I went with the base model since I can use the Apple Play. I feel there is way too much going on with the technology, so many times I felt like my eyes were not on the road because I was trying to navigate the system and the mouse pad is annoying. The Auto Idle button is a nuisance and I wish the back-up camera beeped when you are coming close to an object. All my other leases of different makes always had this, Acura is lacking with certain things. I also miss having Power Fold mirrors which was on my Kia and Acura it's a manual process, so now when I pull into my tight driveway, I have to manually pull in driver-side mirror and hope I don't hit the passenger side mirror because I'm not leaning across the car to pull that one in!!! I finally started getting the hang of it and my third week in the home screen freezes and does not turn off draining off the battery. I bought it back to the dealer, they had the car for 6 days and couldn't replicate the issue, so they did a hard reset and told me they HOPE that fixes the problem. HOPE now has me wondering when and if this is going to happen again and where will I be when it does happen, as if it does happen it needs to get into the dealer immediately because I'll have a dead battery otherwise. I am very disappointed and maybe should have waited longer to read other people's reviews before I made this decision. I can only pray that I will not have additional issues with this vehicle over the next three years since I only had it for a month and already had issues. I am hoping that all this goes away over my leasing term otherwise I will not be returning to Acura. I also forgot to add there is no CD player in this truck either, another con.
