Acura RDX number 2
We had a 2016 RDX and liked the new 2019. Disappointed at no CD player and so far the MPG is slightly less than the 2016. We love the driving feel of the car. It feels sporty compared to our RX350. Seats are great. Extra room is nice. Rear cargo storage area is a nice plus. The red paint is very sharp. Highlights are excellent. A small spare change area would be nice. Interior noise is superior to the 2016. Overall a nice car and sharper looking than the 2016.

Macura
Powertrain is extremely powerful, i drove all the Acura line up, the only vehicles that feel faster than the RDX is the NSX which is a sport car. The 10 speeds transmission is flawless compare to the Lexus RX 350 8speeds is horrible and the zf 9 speeds on the MDX & TLX is scary. Great MPG., comfortable ,fast and the fake exhaust sound is great. I drove subsequently , RX350, NX, RDX and the BMW x3 my choice was easy , I bought the A spec SH-AWD.

Still the best bang for the buck after 3 years.
Our third RDX and the best by far.Our only disappointment is the navigation system. We use it strictly as a monitor and even as a monitor it is a disappointment. Our phone has a more satisfactory map and direction program After one year with our 2019 RDX A-Spec we are more pleased than in the beginning. Everything works well. You particularly appreciate the vehicle after the sixth hour on our trip south to Myrtle Beach. The gas mileage is better than we expected, and the four cylinder turbo engine which we feared in the beginning is just fine. We still don’t value the navigation system. It is just not what it should be. It is still the best bang for the buck!

It's been awesome for me!
I see bad review after bad review on this site, and I must disagree. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've now owned the car for about three months (Dec 19 build) and I love it. Have not had a single glitch with the infotainment system, and Apple Car Play works like a charm with my XS Max. I really like the touch pad. Once you get used to it (takes about a week) it becomes second nature and I actually really prefer it over stretching to reach a touch screen. Once you get the hang of the screen mapping and stop sliding your finger, it becomes simple to use. I have read others complain about the transmission hesitating after breaking. To me, this only happens when you slam on the brakes; in normal driving, I've had no issues. I love the heads-up display and the 360 camera too. The seats are crazy adjustable and very comfortable. For the money, this has been a great purchase. I shopped the Audi Q5 and could not justify an extra 15K for a similarly equipped model.

Not ready for Prime time
The car drives great, it is comfortable, spacious (for its size), good acceleration, cornering, etc. Good safety systems. Good storage system. However, the information system sucks. It is distracting, requires significant time NOT looking where you are driving while you try to find a station and the nav system is terrible. I still don't know how to enter an address as a destination, the screen does not dim automatically when it gets dark at night, the Android system is not available yet and other than saving money there was no good reason to do away with the shift lever with which everyone is familiar. The tailgate function where you can raise the tailgate with your foot doesn't work in my car. I have owned six Acuras, three of which were MDXs, and I would go back to their Nav and radio system in a flash. Dealer support on new features hasn't been all that great.
