A Perfect RX Repacement

For one month we have been owners of a RDX Advance (Performance Red/Parchment) and really couldn't be happier with our first Acura. For three years we have been looking for a replacement for my wife's 2006 Lexus RX 330. The options were narrowed down to the XC-60, QX50, RX and the RDX. The XC-60 was eliminated on price and the fact that not only is Volvo Chinese owned, but the vehicles currently in the US are made in China. The QX50 was eliminated on price and a dated interior with a very cheap sliding cover for the center storage area. We drove the RX and the RDX within the same hour. The RX didn't demonstrate one advantage over the RDX, and was over $8K more. The front end styling of the RX also didn't help it. We have yet to feel any situation in the RDX where we wished for more power. The new True Touchpad is unique, but it takes less than 15 minutes to adapt to it and is superior. I was able to program the primary home screen so that 98% of the functions my wife will use are available with one touch. The voice control for the navigation has been flawless so far. With part of the money we saved, our dealer added the 20" diamond-cut wheels to top off its good looks. My wife is hard to please, and one minor detail can kill a deal. She loves every feature of the RDX so far. Any complaint has been remedied with the options available for most functions. Its floating center console design provides more side leg room and storage than any of its competitors. With its top safety rating added to the fact that the RDX was designed in California and Ohio and is assembled in Ohio with 60% North American parts, we have no regrets. After over a year now, over the air updates have corrected minor flaws in the infotainment system and our RDX has never needed a trip back to an Acura dealer. It still looks good as new and has provided all the cargo capacity we have ever needed. We are very happy with our first Acura! We probably would have been just as happy with a new RX, but that would have cost us an additional $8K. Update March 2020: With the over the air updates, the infotainment system is much faster and has been working perfectly. The vehicle continues to operate without any glitches and has never required a trip back to our dealer.

REading reviews on the RDX prior to purchase had me concerned, especially about the technology systems. I cannot discount the bad experiences of other owners, but have nothing but praise for ours. My wife has decided it is now her car instead of mine, and suggested buying a second one. Is it perfect no, but close enough. Only dislikes are the seat design makes them pretty stiff on the bottom panels. Essentially the leather has to stretch to allow for any conformity to your bottom side, not a huge deal. No Android auto yet, but I personally do not like Android Auto and turn it off in my GT350. The RDX Advanced is just an all around pleasure to drive, the lane keep assist an adaptive cruise control are better than any other brand we've tried. If I had a wish list, I think they should have included the remote key fob start, and some changes in the stitching for the seat bottoms. We are getting right at 25mpg average.

I love, love, love this car!! My last car was a BMW X5, and when it was time to replace it I thought for sure I was going go with a BMW sedan. But then I discovered I didn't like sedans anymore. I test drove several smaller SUVs - including the BMW X3 (blah), AudiQ5 (too plain) and Volvo XC60 (seats were uncomfortable weird touchscreen system). The Acura RDX was amazing the first time I drove it and it still is! I have had no problems with the Nav system, and I love how Apple CarPlay works so well. It's a peppy fast car and makes me happy!

Cross shopped with X3, Q5, GLC300. Acura has the best value proposition. The overall package is excellent, but I HATE the touch pad thing - it works fine with Acura screens but doesn't behave the same with Apple CarPlay. I love the power, the easy parking/maneuverability, the ELS Audio, and the head up display. I’ve owned it about three and a half years so I’m out of the honeymoon period, and I would make the same choice again.

I just bought this two days ago. I love it so far. I traded in 2015 RDX with Tech package and got the Advance Package. It has almost as many features as my husband’s Mercedes Benz E class but cost about 25k less. It is a huge upgrade over my 2015. The interior really feels like a luxury car. There are a couple of things I don’t love. The idle/stop feature has to be turned off every time you start the vehicle. Idle/stop does not activate in the Sport plus mode, which is nice. I also don’t like the feel of the brakes. I feel like I have to push the pedal all the way to the floor before it engages. I love the redesigned cargo area. It seems so much bigger.
