I purchased an RDX after comparing it to a Mazda CX50. The packaging sold me because the technology option gave me everything that I wanted in my car. To get an upgraded stereo and voice activated navigation system I had to compare the RDX to the top of the line trim in some of the lower priced cars. I was also trying to avoid the status symbol associated with a BMW or a Mercedes. The lack of a drive shift handle is a pain and after two months the switches for park and drive are still not automatic for me. I also dislike the system that turns the car off at red lights. Finally, I was unhappy with the cost of the spare tire kit which is not standard on the car. On the positive side, the stereo is great, and the engine provides a surprising amount of power. Handling is likewise exceptional. I could call this a great car and a good value if not for the noise level on the highway. I gave up a Lincoln for this car and I also drive a Lexus. Compared to those vehicles, I feel like I am driving down the road with the windows open. Thanks to A/C, it has been a very long time since I had to do that, but without a specific location for the noise, it is just all over. I think I am hearing the tires rolling on the pavement. I tried turning up the stereo but short of headphones, nothing can dampen the noise. If you do a lot of interstate driving, this is not the car for you. I have been averaging 23.2 MPG.

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.

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!

A little background first: I've been a long-time Lexus driver. (My father was a life-long Toyota man.) But over the years, it has become impossible to ignore how Lexus has lost its touch. The quality went down, but the price went up. Especially compared to my last few Lexus cars, this Acura RDX just makes sense. I can feel how all the details were thought through. The features that should be there are there, and in places that are logical. Plus, these features are available at a nicer price point than the competitors. Now I'm in the process of helping my wife switch from Lexus to Acura, too.
