Replaced our 2016 Fully Loaded advanced with a 2024 Aspec advanced. Night and day different ride quality and sound isolation. 2022 really changed this vehicle. It’s the quietest and smoothest Honda product we have ever owned. It’s about time!! Our first 5 hour freeway trip from Seattle to Spokane and it said 26mpg when we arrived at home. Better than I thought it would do for sure at those higher speeds. Quieter in the back of the car compared to a Lexus NX. Less wind noise coming from the rear than a new NX. Bigger than a NX. The materials inside are better than a new NX. Pano roof bigger and not near as ugly tinted as the NX. Yes it’s not the Lexus nX hybrid engine we originally wanted but the driving experience and other things is what won us over. Plus you can still order a spare tire and mount it underneath. TWO BIG GRIPES. I’m 6’1” and 185lbs. And typical Honda/acura fashion is the flipping steering wheel does not tilt down enough. What is your deal Acura, cmon. Nobody would ever tilt it the height it can go but both my wife and I wish it would tilt lower. And for Pete’s sake it’s 2024 so make it power. It’s a luxury car in 2024. SECOND is the screen. The touchpad is fine BUT that screen should have never existed in this luxury vehicle even back in 2019. My 2018 Lexus has a better quality screen. This screen is so 2015 Honda CRV like. At a bare minimum it should Have been made better in 2022. Everyone is focused on the touchscreen but that’s not its problem. It’s the size and the quality! 2025 will change that. We really wanted to wait and see what 2025 was going to bring BUT we found an incredible deal on a 2024 with 685 miles so impossible to pass up. Racing red one with black interior. UPDATE: Let’s start with the big negatives so maybe Honda will listen for once. The software in regards to the infotainment screen is god awful. Everyone focuses on it not being a touchscreen and that is NOT the issue. It’s the software. This car has been out since 2019 and it feels like it’s software and screen is from 2016. My 2018 Lexus is so much smarter! The little screen on the right side is the most annoying thing ever in a vehicle. It constantly defaults to NAV. Who cares about NAV for 98% of your driving. Any phone call, any voice text or command and it defaults back to NAV. Leave it be the CLOCK! Or let it save to what the driver wants. Backup camera is hideous as well. And what is the deal with the steering wheel tilt ability. Why is it so high? I can’t imagine any person ever wanting to raise it. I want it lower, my shorter wife wants it lower. Cmon Acura. Positives. It’s the quietest Honda product we have ever owned by far. Smoothest as well but we have an Aspec advanced model with active dampers. 2022 change for advanced models was an amazing update and they should have updated the tech in it at that time. Comfortable, fun to drive although we prefer the older V6 engine. More refined and not as loud under harder acceleration. The car drives 80% freeway speeds averaging 70mph. Computer stays a consistent 24.8-25mpg. Sucks but is what it is, you know it buying it. The auto start stop is dumb. As we know it saves nothing. Great car BUT awful software for the display. So depends what’s important for you. It drives me more nuts than my wife and it’s her car.

This is my 4th Acura and my second RDX. The reason why I keep coming back to Acura is their SH-AWD and reliability. No other SUV in this class comes close to the handling characteristics and stability of this SUV, save for Audi which is also AWD. Acura's ride is smooth and comfortable. Steering is precise and nimble. This is a car I just enjoy driving. I see a lot of fuss about the infotainment system and the touch pad. In my opinion, Acura's engineers are clever enough to realize that touch screens are distracting and don't provide tactile feedback. You can't develop muscle memory with touch screens. You have to look and aim your fingers to navigate the system and select things. This is distracting and not safe. So thank you Acura for keeping it traditional. Please NEVER EVER do touch screens. Another thank you to Acura for keeping traditional: The gauges cluster. I see almost all new cars are replacing the speedometer and engine revs with digital screens. Are you kidding me? Another issue some people might have commented on is road noise; OEM tires on this car are not the best. Replace them with Hankook DynaPro series and you will feel/hear the difference, no more rolling noise. Sound system is pure joy, I feel bad that they don't include CD Players anymore. I love the fact that they moved the spare tire below the car, freeing up more hidden space in the trunk. Good Job Acura. Remember, don't do touch screens for future models.

Still getting accustomed to the car but love it so far. the only drawback so far is the screen is NOT a touch screen. You have a mouse like feature to move from radio to navigation and so on. Seems a little unsafe but I'm older so maybe it's just me.

Overall I like the RDX…been driving TL and TLX for the past 20 years. Wanted to get a smaller SUV so it’s easier to get in and out of…I like this car-it’s sporty and has a nice interior…I don’t like that the shift is in the center-been driving it for 2 months and still not used to it. I don’t like the way the air flows through the front either-not enough for passengers in the back and the vents don’t have enough movement to keep me cool… Gas gage doesn’t light up when low? Or maybe it lets you get close to running out -got as low as 25 miles and still didn’t go on? Runs fine and gets okay gas mileage -just need some getting used to I guess -I forgot how much black shows everything-definitely going back to white when I turn this in! Hoping to start to like it more…so far my least favorite Acura!

I love this vehicle so much that I'm on my third one. Everything's I think I want to change, I go right back to it. It's the perfect size... not too big, not too small and definitely not sluggish.
