Used 2022 Acura RDX Consumer Reviews
A brand new 2021 RDX A-spec Brake system failure
I recently bought a brand new 2021 RDX A-spec in blue color. I loved this car very much at the beginning, but it only last for a week. I got my car a week ago, and drive it less than a week. The car is already showed the brake system failure and disable my the road assistance features. I am totally disappointed their quality at all. I am so regret to trade in my Subaru forest for this shitty car. I have a confidence of Acura in the past, but this faith is crumbling now.

Spend the extra cash upfront
The Acura RDX is a half-baked product. I had a 2020 RDX that had many issues with its infotainment system. The system would crackle and pop when using Apple CarPlay–so much so that I stopped using CarPlay altogether because it was so distracting. This issue traveled to the 2021 Acura RDX models as well, but my dealership (and even Acura corporate) pretended like they could not replicate the issue after having the car for a few days. The second I left the dealership with iPhone connected, CarPlay froze and then crackled and popped. Garbage. Also, my 21 RDX stalled out when I was trying to pass a truck at 80mph. Again, the dealer and corporate said they "could not replicate the issue" and passed the keys right back to me. This is a serious safety issue, and one that others appear to be having as well. Search any of the many Acura car forums and other 20 and 21 RDX owners are having similar transmission slip/stalling issues. This is extremely unsafe and yet, Acura claims to have no idea what is happening. I have had my vehicle back for a few weeks now and the transmission has slipped twice. So, my advice is to save up a bit more money and go for the Germans if you really want a small crossover SUV. Many, many people gripe about the upfront costs and maintenance costs of the Germans, but check Consumer Reports ratings any day and they are quite favorable towards the Germans these days. Don't waste time on this dying, unreliable brand that is nothing more than a warmed over Honda with a different badge and even worse reliability.

Infortaiment issue
I got an 2021 RDX tech package this September. I used to complained the weather strapping felt of from the tailgate, but it turned out to be the extra foam came off. The dealership took care of it nicely and returned it back. But after a month, the infortainment system was suddenly down for no reason. After several attempts to restart the car, it's back.

Sporty suv
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.
