Used 2022 Acura RDX Consumer Reviews
Great car but!!!!
My wife and I purchased a 2022 Acura RDX with the Advance package.Took some getting use to the touch pad controller and still having problems. It is hard to navigate especially changing the radio stations while trying to drive. I recommend turning off the Auto Engine Idle stop each time you get into the vehicle when driving because I get tired of the engine shutting off everytime I came to a stop. Also recommend using cruise control less as possible or turning the low speed following distance to minimum on the Adaptive Cruise Control Low Speed Follow which comes on by default when ever you use the cruise control, hate it to can not be turned off. These two features are marketed as safety features but I believe they create a safety hazard as well. This is a great car but wish I could have gotten a bigger power train but there are no options.The wife loves.

Frustrating!
I unexpectedly fell for a sales tactic, meaning, I traded in my 2014 RDX for 2021 RDX. It was an impulse purchase and while I'm not having total buyers remorse, there are some features that are frustrating. Now when I purchased my 2014, I read some negative reviews and I had a friend who had the same exact car who didn't like it at all. I bought it anyway and really liked it for many years. Reliable, relatively low cost to own, great trade with over 105K miles. I read many reviews for the 2021. Some positive, some negative. While I love the V6, I'm getting used to the 4CYL. The one thing that I absolutely hate is the TouchPad. Hate, hate, hate. Its just not responsive as you think it should be. Now I know technology features are quirky - we also have a 2022 XC60 and that's frustrating & quirky too, but you would think that with all the drivers who have the TouchPad and complain about it, that Acura would troubleshoot, fix and push an update to the car. I almost side swiped a car while I was trying to navigate my Android Auto to change a song. Totally my fault, certainly not Acura's fault, but still very frustrating. I told my husband, if there is one thing that is going to get me to trade this car in - its the touchpad.

Lemmon
3000 mile and sunroof leaks. Been waiting a month for a replacement. I’m just going to tun it in under the Lemon Law. Apparently they have major problems with the sunroof weather stripping.

Fran's 2 cents
I am a little disappointed in this car. Love the look of it but could use some improvements. Very disappointed in the gas mileage. Was advertised to get 28MPG. I have yet to surpass 22MPG. That is at the speed limit. Stereo needs a more SURROUND sound. The sound sounds like it is all coming from the front speakers. The interior lighting is a little inadequate. I am not a fan of the start/stop of the engine at lights etc. I understand that it is a fuel saving feature but takes a little getting used to. Not happy that the Tech pkg requires additional fees to use all of the features.

Update after 40,000 plus miles: Still don't buy!
I've now had this car just over 2 years. It now has 40,000 on it. Except for the continuing problems with Apple CarPlay the vehicle is a joy to drive. I've had nothing but routine maintenance performed on it except for one faulty wheel bearing that was covered by warranty. Apple CarPlay now works about 25% of the time even though the dealer replaced the computer once, acknowledging, however, that it probably wouldn't help - it didn't. Apple CarPlay in my 2021 RDX with about a thousand miles works less than half the time. This is not the same problem the 2020 RDX had that could be fixed with a periodic Factory Rest. Acura recognizes it has a problem and does not have a solution. Moreover, it does not have a timeline on when, or if, it will generate a fix. So, unless Acura demonstrates that the problem is solved and Apple CarPlay is important to you, don’t buy a 2021 RDX. I didn’t learn I had a problem until my second day of ownership. And did not learn it could not be fixed until several days later. I am screwed I fear. I now have over 20,000 miles on my 2021 RDX and have had the computer that operates Apple CarPlay replaced once. The replacement has not improved the performance of Apple CarPlay. It still works only about half the time. Acura acknowledges it is a software problem they are unable, or unwilling, to fix.
