Disappointed with the interior features

Why have auto makers eliminated the traditional gear shifter? After driving for over 35 years, it's frustrating to have to retrain what had become intuitive. Push a button in to park, depress a button (down) to reverse, push another button in to drive. Definitely takes away from the driving experience. Remote start on the tech package trim level is only available through the app, which regularly stalled, could not "communicate" with the vehicle, and had to be uninstalled and reinstalled. It's faster to walk to the vehicle and start it manually. The touchpad feature to toggle between items on the display screen (no touchscreen feature) is either jumpy or laggy. I've taken to not using those features at all. The handling is a bit bumpier than expected, given that this is a luxury brand. It feels quite similar to the Honda CRV I had previously. I'm 2 weeks into a 4 year lease and am happy to ride along with someone else in their own vehicle since this vehicle has been a disappointment from the start.

Navigation is in desperate need of updates.

Needed to drive North/West NJ never heard of this town, used the navigation and I ended up on the NY state border. It totally missed the Parkway exit. The car is 1 year old needs an update. I'll update my speaker issue, yes there are speakers on the sides however, they are very weak sounding. That is the only issue I have with the acura is the sound system. when I drive I like to listen to music like so many others, but the speakers in the RDX are terrible. You are not getting and equal sound front to back. Even though I set the settings it still sounds so tinny.

Super disappointed in the infotainment & more

I came out of a 2024 Pathfinder Platinum that Nissan bought back as a lemon because the infotainment system and AC compressor failed. I got into a 2025 RDX and am incredibly disappointed to be experiencing SO many infotainment issues in this vehicle as well. Not only is the touchpad stupid/useless/dangerous while driving, but the stereo occasionally cuts to silence with a loud beep then slowly fades back on. Sometimes you cannot connect a phone via Bluetooth no matter what you do until you power cycle the car. Many other random glitches as well. Now the problems have spread to the start button, which occasionally refuses to start or stop the engine. Plus a horrible (factory) brake squeak in reverse that started when the car had 8k miles on it. The car drives like a dream when its going forward with the radio off. That's about it. Can't wait to turn this lease back in.

RDX - POS

Touch pad everything is nearly impossible to use. Owner's Manual is absolutely worthless, who wrote that pile of junk? $50K car comes with navigation but no nav. manual. I'll get mine in 3 to 5 weeks. Thanks Acura. The more I learn about it, the more I hate it, and I worked at AHM for 24 years. Should have bought Chevy. Update, seven weeks into it and still no Nav. owner's manual. I contacted Acura again to order the manual, I was told, in writing, that they are experiencing an unusually high amount of traffic and that I may be contacted soon, but to not contact them again because it will just make them more busy.
