2019 Acura RDX SH-AWD 4dr SUV AWD w/Advance Package (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 10A)

I have put about 8,400 miles on my SH-AWD Advance. I love the performance. It's really fun to drive ( I like the quick shifts from the 10 speed when I accelerate hard). The 3D stereo is great. I actually learned to use the True Touchpad Interface in a couple of days. The USB port for playing my iPod has been troublesome. It will just lock up and stop playing. I use the Bluetooth method for my iPod but it doesn't have the features available with the USB. I also really like the storage options in the rear. I use the underfloor storage quite a bit. The car has performed very well since I purchased it. I enjoy it's performance on the highway. I can enter the freeway confidently without concern I might get run over by someone doing 80 mph. The only dislike I have is the Idle Stop. I don't care for this feature but it can be disabled. It must be disabled every time you start the car.

Nav is a deal breaker

I was about to pull the trigger and order the RDX SH-AWD Advanced. It has everything I'm looking for at a very competitive price. Unfortunately, I use my $150 Garmin- on -a-suction-cup Navigation a great deal and there are two important things it will do that the RDX's nav won't. First, there is no way to give a stored addresses a name. so if you have thirty addresses stored you have to remember which is the doctor, which is the dentist, and which is the Acura Dealer. That is unsatisfactory. I'm told prior years RDX's could store by name. Secondly there is no way to store your current location and give it a name. So if I'm driving through the mountains and stumble across a fish pond, I can't store my current location and name it "Hidden lake" I guess I'm off to the Volvo dealer to see if the XC-60 can do any better. Rats!

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.

We actually need an SUV to haul things back and forth to our lake house. We previously owned 2 MDXs but decided, since we never used the 3rd row of seats that a smaller SUV would suffice. It has. We have owned the 2019 since the end of June. I had shopped a number of other makes actually thinking that I wanted a German car. The Audi was the highest contender but my two criteria were seats that cooled and blind spot alerts. To get that on the Audi I had to go to their deluxe model which was fine except it only came with a black interior which my wife really didn't want. There were other things but in the end, unless I wanted to go to an 80,000 Porsche, this car had everything I wanted, and more, at 10,000 less. I have never had a problem with my two previous Acuras. My complaints are really minor: garage door opener is small, side view mirrors don't fold in when car is turned off, navigation image screen could be sharper. I have friends who just got a new Mercedes and a new BMW. Both of them think I made the best purchase. UPDATE - Another year later and zero problems or issues to report. Great car.

I love this car. I previously had an old CRV and I wanted to upgrade to a luxury vehicle. Like many of the reviewers, I didn’t want to spend the extra thousands of dollars for a BMW or Audi (or worry about the outrageous maintenance costs). I’ve put about 1000 miles on the car and it’s still one of the favorite vehicles I’ve ever owned. The acceleration is fantastic and “sport” mode is my favorite. The seats are very comfy and I’ve received many compliments on how beautiful the interior of the car is. The entertainment system has a bit of a learning curve but I figured it out in about an hour. It’s honestly no more challenging then when you get a new phone. The tech package comes with a TON of features. I’m sure I don’t need half of them but if you like all the bells and whistles-go for it. (The one thing I don’t like is the idle engine stop feature but you can easily turn it off.) A couple people mentioned that you can feel every bump in the road but I disagree, it drives wonderfully but I also like a tighter suspension and I enjoy feeling the road as I drive. Overall I’m thrilled and I think it’s a fantastic car!!
