This 2021 is my third RDX since 2016 and the best. Better suspension and handling.. The 4 cyl.turbo does the job with an excellent transmission . Thank god Acura did not use a crappy CVT like the Honda CRV.

Beautiful car, lovely interior. Gas mileage isn't great (have avg 20mpg so far.) The TouchPad has been easy to get used to, specially since previously owning Mazdas. Only other gripe, is it seems odd that remote start isn't standard on a vehicle that was 48k when new, when Civics have it standard on most trims. Also as an FYI, Aspec trims do not come with a spare tire.

Acura RDX Technology SH-AWD

I had a 2018 Acura RDX AWD before this one and I'll say that the new one is 10x better in every way! The all wheel drive system is amazing in the snow! The performance is top notch too. It's a lot peppier than the old one. I didn't know how I would like the turbo, but it's actually a nice boost in power. It's got more room in the second row and rear cargo than before too! The only thing that is annoying is Apple CarPlay, ugh sometimes it takes forever to load, but not all the time. The trackpad took some time to get used to, but overall I prefer it over a touchscreen. I use Siri 99% of the time anway. Gas mileage is "okay" but I don't care because I prefer a car that performs when I want it to instead of a gas saver lol.

Coming from a Honda CRV the Acura is far ahead in comparison. It’s way more powerful, comfortable, and plush. I bought my 2021 as a CPO and have been very happy. I’m currently getting 23.2 MPG which is great. No major gripes but I would recommend buying tech or advance, I have a base SH-AWD. All in all would highly recommend.

Great drive and beautiful interior, bad tech

I've had my 2021 RDX for 16 months and it is a great driving vehicle and a great engine. But the tech inside is very bad for a $50k vehicle. I have to have the radio/entertainment system replaced for the 2nd time in just 12k miles. And I'm sure it will be the same defective system that I already have and it will die a 3rd time. Acura just doesn't seem to care. Such a shame for a car that has so much potential. Naturally the dealer can't do anything and Acura customer service could care less since they already have my money. Pretty bad when my last 3 GM vehicles had zero faults in the 3 yrs I owned each.
