This car is known for Limp Mode!

The car is stylish on the outside, but the electrical and mechanical systems are unreliable. Too many software glitches in the dash each time I drive. The worst is the limp mode issue that happens when you accelerate. When accelerating, the car sometimes looses power and goes "limp". This happened to us at less than 1000 miles on the car. We were trying to accelerate onto the highway when the car suddenly lost all power and coasted down to 30 mph before we were able to safely exit. I would not buy this. About as reliable as a Pinto.

Worst car i have ever owned

First - it rattles. A car this expensive should not have rattles in the dash. Drives me nuts. Second - the technology is slow. It takes forever to boot up. Third - the nav system is a joke. I constantly get "finding new route" . I quit using it and just use my phone on apple play. Last - the touchpad is difficult to use. On the positive side, it's comfortable and the ride is decent. I have 14,000 miles on it and am looking to get rid of it and get something else.

Well built, luxurious cabin, fun to drive. Instrumentation takes a bit of time to get used to, but overall, a great purchase.

The 2022 Acura RDX is a significant improvement over the previous one. Gets better gas mileage, runs on mid-grade gas, the electronics are somewhat easier to learn, and is nice looking. UPDATE: It is a very nice car but he technology, such as the navigation system, radio, an cell phone connections are difficult to use.

i just purchased a new 2021 RDX a spec. i didnt notice the rear door hatch is uneven when its closed the left side has a small gap and the right side has a bigger gap between the door and the body panel i took it to my dealer where i purchased my car Cerritos Acura in California, the service writer excused was that this is a normal issued with this vehicles and theres nothing they can do about, i expend $45k for this vehicle and to have this bad rear door hatch gap is real bad, i also notice the real seal on the panoramic sunroof is higher on one side than the other and again got the same respond from the dealership that its a normal issued with this vehicles like telling you just deal with it dont complaint, i can tell nothing can be done in regards to it. so be aware of this issues when you purchased this vehicles look closed for any factory defects.
