2021 Acura RDX advance package
I bought my RDX about a month ago and i hear this rattle sound by the dash area going over bumps. I took it to the dealer and they replaced some clips but didn’t solve the problem. The noise is significant. I have owned several Acura product over the years and I see reliability is a big issue. I don’t know if I would consider another Acura product.

Noise Galore...
I leased a 2021 TLX Aspec, which I thought looked great after watching many reviews; however, the car was riddled with noise issues. Wind noise was always noticeable at speeds of 50 miles or higher. The biggest offender was a ticking noise coming from the steering columns. They tried to fix it three times and were not able to do it. Speed Limit would suddenly change to 75 MPH to even 100 MPH!! Back seat is too tight, and the door opening is awkward. After seven months, I switched into a 2021 RDX Aspec, which was more attractive, comfortable, user friendly, and honestly felt more agile. I had the 2019 RDX with the tech package before, and immediately felt regrets when I switched to TLX. I am so happy with my choice now. I ordered the Dongle for wireless Apple Carplay from Amazon, as I am tired of having to connect my phone every time I get in the car. I have to admit, I miss the 27 theme mood lighting and the digital speedo from the TLX. I know it is now available in the 2022 model, but I'll wait until hopefully they go back to touch screen in the future models, which would be a welcome change from the current set up. Great car... UPDATE: This is my third Acura, the fourth if I consider the TL that I had over 17 years ago. I drove the 2019 RDX when it first came out, then the 2021 TLX A-Spec, which I then replaced after only 7 months with a 2021 RDX A-Spec. They are all plagued with mysterious noise on the inside. Even the 2022 loaner, one of many I was offered had the same issue. This brand is a lost cause... I am now switching to BMW which will cost me more, but at least I won't be driving loaners more that I drove my last car. AVOID THIS BRAND...

2021 Acura RDX
I've only had the car one week, and so far, I am very happy with my purchase.
Great Car with Poor Navigation System
This is a great car, except for the Navigation system. Navigation is difficult to program, can't name saved destinations, and can't control screen magnification. The system in my 2015 RDX was much, much better.

Snazzy ride
Great overall car, however the touch pad can be challenging and screen is not touchscreen. Also shocked to find out that side view mirrors are not power-operated
