What Owners Say
"quick acceleration sluggish in turns"
Richard S., NY (2015 Acura RDX)"It handles very well, drives well in snow, and is very comfortable inside. Plus the Acura customer service is outstanding. Also, aside from tires the only major repair in 60K miles was brake work due to mileage. Great car!"
Anonymous, NY (2015 Acura RDX)"Steering is too light and quick"
Anonymous, MN (2015 Acura RDX)"Very good acceleration and handling."
Anonymous, KY (2015 Acura RDX)"Luckily no tickets so far! Be aware the V6 will roar if pushed!"
Anonymous, OK (2015 Acura RDX)"This thing has pep! Very satisfied with the power this has at any time needed. It handles quite well and the suspension is built for sport driving, but suffers immensely on poor road conditions."
Chris P., TX (2015 Acura RDX)"Very fast acceleration. Gas pedal is sensitive so a very light touch with foot is mandatory. The ride is relatively smooth, but bumpy/rocky roads create excess noise and jitter."
Joanna B., CA (2015 Acura RDX)"SAFETY! handles well in adverse weather conditions"
Anonymous, RI (2015 Acura RDX)"Acceleration and breaking very sensitive. Anticipated this to ease after some use, but it remains very touchy"
Anonymous, AK (2015 Acura RDX)"Smooth, quiet, refined acceleration delivered with the excellent V6 and 6 speed automatic. Glad there is no Turbo."
Anonymous, TN (2015 Acura RDX)"The brakes and accelerator are really touchy. Braking I have to be really careful and not throw passengers around and with accelerating I have to be careful in the same way."
Anonymous, TX (2015 Acura RDX)"Excellent power and acceleration while still getting good milage. Excellent handling."
Caroline S., TX (2015 Acura RDX)"Really like the super handling all wheel drive. Very smooth transmission."
Mike B., MN (2015 Acura RDX)"I like that it’s a 6 cylinder small sport utility. It is peppy & when traveling goes up mountain roads easily."
Anonymous, GA (2015 Acura RDX)"Sporty, great acceleration."
Stan W., WI (2015 Acura RDX)"Great winter handling with all wheel drive."

Anonymous, AZ (2015 Acura RDX)"quick response, no hesitation"
Anonymous, CO (2015 Acura RDX)"I like the handling of the RDX and the overall size. We went from an MDX to this and also like it can run on regular gas. It handles well when pushed a bit."
Anonymous, MI (2015 Acura RDX)"drives great"
Anonymous, OH (2015 Acura RDX)"Accelerator and brake pedals are way to sensitive to foot pressure. It is easy to spin tires on normal acceleration."
MICHAEL L., GA (2015 Acura RDX)"Handles quite well, little understeer. Paddle shifters are useful for engine-braking when slowing for a stop or for a corner. Does quite well in snow, even with stock tires, but I did get dedicated snow tires/wheels. Very quick, with no turbo lag (it's not a turbo, just a good Honda V6)"
K K., ME (2015 Acura RDX)"We purchased the RDX over the Honda because of better acceleration"
LOUIS C., VA (2015 Acura RDX)"Very nice handling and acceleration. Feels like a much smaller car, very sporty and quick. Transmission is 6sp auto, and paddle shift works well when I want to 'play'."
RICHARD R., OK (2015 Acura RDX)"Acceleration is good, handling and visibility are not that good."
Anonymous, AZ (2015 Acura RDX)"it great in sync transmission"
LARRY G., TX (2015 Acura RDX)"Interior comfort, high prefomence engine. Great mileage, great styling"
RUSSELL F., IN (2015 Acura RDX)"The RDX has surprising acceleration and overall solid performance while maintaining good gas mileage."
Anonymous, MO (2015 Acura RDX)"Handling"
Anonymous, RI (2015 Acura RDX)"The navigation system sucks. The 0-60 around six seconds. You can not drive this suv without having AWD due to breaking the front wheels loose with only a two wheel drive. My friend has the same vehicle but with two wheel drive only. Slightest touch on the go pedal starts the right front wheel spinning. The seats and position of the controls are very good. ."
JERRY S., FL (2015 Acura RDX)"Love a V-6,engine and a traditional 6 speed transmission. Wanted to stay away from turbos and CVT's."
