Comfy, quiet, fun to drive, with some flaws
The A-Spec Advance package is stellar, giving me plenty of technology and a brilliant stereo. I really enjoy everything about this vehicle except the surround/backup cameras. They might as well be potatoes. I'm shocked that a model that's been around since 2019 wouldn't have been equipped with better cameras by now. All cameras are basically unusable on a dimly lit street and forget it if it's raining. I'm happy with the large side mirrors. I'm overall very happy with the RDX minus the camera issue.

Impressive Premium Car
I love everything about my new RDX A-Spec Advance. All of the features are great. I am not sure why all the complaints about the True Touch Pad. I'm not a young techy and I mastered the system in just a few days and I love it. The ride in Comfort mode is superb and in Sport mode, it moves quick. Its handles with both sportiness and luxury feel. It's a sharp looking car.....beautiful interior with extremely comfortable seating. I know, I have back issues and the seats feel awesome. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

Sporty, Fun, and Practical
I leased a Liquid Carbon/Ebony RDX Aspec Advance in March 2023. The aesthetics of the Aspec combined with the features of the Advance make this vehicle a no brainer. I had a ‘22 MDX Advance but it was way too large for my needs. I flipped out of it and into the RDX. It is a perfect size for me! It is not too big and not too small. All the controls are within reach. The touchpad is easy once you practice with it a few times. I prefer it over getting fingerprints all over the screen. The safety features were also a huge selling point. The turbo has a lot of get up and go about it. The leather/suede seats are so comfortable. The ELS 3D stereo system is AMAZING! I love the sport heated steering wheel. Apple Car Play works seamlessly for me. The adaptive dampers in the Advance package really do their job. There is minimal road noise and the ride quality is top notch. There is plenty of room in the back seat and in the cargo area. The LED headlights work like a charm when it’s raining or on dark stretches of road. I have not had to even use the high beams yet. Gas mileage isn’t too terrible. I’m averaging about 20mpg with only city driving. I got into a horrible rainstorm a few weeks back and the SH-AWD kept the vehicle stable and planted. It handled like a trooper (and it takes corner’s unbelievably well). If I had to suggest improvements, it would be to make the surround camera full screen and make the cup holders larger for bigger cups. This vehicle is well-rounded and is much cheaper than it’s competitors fully loaded. This is my 4th Acura and my FAVORITE by far!

Very happy with my RDX
I have the 2022 RDX Aspec. I am very happy with the car. I love the exterior styling and the interior updates including the wireless charger, wireless Apple car play and android auto. My nephew likes the ability to change the colors on the ambient lighting. The car handles great and has plenty of power although I do wish it got a little better mpg. I found using the touch pad very easy to learn and have no problems with it. I do a lot of driving and find it very comfortable even for long trips. I do hope there is an ev or hybrid option in the future.

No spare tire!
Enjoying our new RDX but shocking to me that Acura does not include a spare tire with the purchase, only an air pump. All buyers shoud be aware. Dealers do not tell you this. I live in the desert southwest, could be 100 miles from service. If you hit road debris or otherwise blow or shred the tire, with no spare you are really in trouble. I have ordered the 'donut' (an option) - over $400 and of course, they are back ordered. Come on Acura, every vehicle should have a spare tire included. Saftey and common sense.
