Acura RDX

"Fine"

"Good power and handling"

"Good acceleration."

"Smooth"

"We bought a Lexus GX at the same time, and my wife & I fight over who gets to drive the Acura RDX. We love it.Great highway car, great in town, great on poorly maintained roads."

"Definitely a Honda product. Too much oversteer with front wheel drive, however handling is good and acceleration is excellent even when fully loaded."

"Very strong 6cyl engine performance"

"good acceleration and handling"

"Great acceleration and handles reasonably well."

"Acceleration is excellent. Suspension is rather taut but provides very good handling in curves on mountain roads. At very low speeds with a steady throttle, the engines surges. There's is also a slight but unpleasant surge when paddle-shift downshifting on mountain descents."

"The 3.5 L V6 and 6 speed auto give you effortless acceleration performance when you need it and smooth and quiet cruising. Handling is not top of the class but more than adequate in most circumstances."

"The V6 engine in the RDX is world class in terms of power, smoothness, response and fuel efficiency. And the RDX handles much better than the Lexus RX and nearly as well as the BMW X3, the leader in this category in this class."

"Was hesitant to purchase an SUV thinking it would be too cumbersome and no fun to drive. Replaced Honda Accord Touring version with RDX Advanced and noticed no difference in driving except the positive factor of sitting higher allowing greater visibility."

"Love the sport mode to quickly accelerate"

"I enjoy the vehicles quick response when merging with on going traffic. I drive from TN to Kansas and the seats with air on which are wonderful in 13 hours. Keeps me cool! Handling is great in all types of weather conditions."

"Good acceleration, smooth performance, quiet ride"

"Acceleration is very good, braking is excellent, wish steering was not so vague"

"It is all good on this RDX."

"very responsive."

"It has good acceleration due to it’s normally aspirated V6 with decent handling except for snow covered roads. Even with the AWD it requires winter tires for a sure grip. The AWD system in the RDX is not as good as Acura’s SH-AWD system. The adaptive cruise control is not as refined as those in Mercedes or Porsche. Speed changes and braking are too abrupt."

"the car handles like a race car with more than ample acceleration. I also get 27 to 28 MPG on the highway."

"Fast acceleration,always smooth, feels like a V8. Handling crisp and on point. Turns on a dime. Wonderful."

"Too hard to start smoothly. Accelerator is too touchy and sometimes results in the tires slipping."

"There are too many blind spots and head rests block vision."

"Great acceleration that is quick with lots of power. Handling is good and very responsive. Turning radius is not great though. Can't make real tight turns."

"Great acceleration for merging on freeways and passing, high top end."

"Very excellent acceleration. Love the V6 With snow tires handles the Northern Michigan roads well"

"Excellent acceleration, braking and handling"

"Acceleration and Handling are excellent for the class of car."

"Acceleration is very good for a vehicle of it's size. Brakes are good/adequate. Handles very well."

"Great power for highway driving"

"While there is a bit of lean on sharp cornering, overall the ride feels controlled and the handling responsive. The acceleration is excellent while still offering reasonable mileage. I routinely get 30-32 mpg on the highway."

"Good excelleration and handling. Visibility is very good, too."

"Accelerator is very touchy and is prone to accelerate to fast when taking off from a stop sign, stop light or after braking."

"I replaced my 8-year old Honda CRV with the RDX three years ago when I moved from a rural area to Reno. I must use high speed freeways in this area and need the six-cylinder engine to accelerate quickly and merge safely with traffic. Outstanding performance from the engine."

"It’s very good looking from any angle ! Look fast when standing still !"

"Unfortunately it drives like a big SUV"

"The V6 engine is just a thrill to drive, it also achieves great gas mileage."

"Drives more like a car than SUV"

"rides nicely. Turning radius is too large."

"This car has great acceleration when you need it and it handles great! Holds the road great!"

"Doesn’t have SAWD"

"Flare on quick acceleration is excessive. Suggest smoother acceleration, so vehicle does not lurch."

"Solid, well built, quiet."

"I paid for this "luxe Honda" mainly to get the improved power. It accretes beyond my hopes, and after 36,000 miles continues to pop along . 0-60 is especially good"

"Stiff choppy ride"

"Responsive"

"Good response, excellent acceleration, smooth but not dynamic handling"

"This vehicle has AWD, which makes it very stable and solid feeling in wet conditions. Acceleration is very good."

"Spins wheels easily and steering is bit vague"

"Vrey good acceleration and handling. Very composed at highway speeds."

"LED lights- great view at night"

"car handles very well on highway. Corners well and is very stable. Adaptive cruse control makes driving very easy."

"Powerful. I love AWD in winter"

"Acceleration, particularly in the S mode is a joy, which can help you get out of a pinch if required"

"Has radar and other warning systems which are very useful and helpful. Sensors front and rear are great for parking as well as rear dynamic camera."

"Excellent acceleration, good gas mileage. Superb handling and comfort."

"Although using recommended gasoline, sometime hesitates when stepping on the gas."

"The mating of the 6 cylinder with the 6 speed transmission is perfect. The car has terrific power and responsiveness. It handles really well. Front seats are excellent. Long drives are a breeze and comfortable. I'm the RDX enjoying much more than my recent Audi cars."

"V6 engine is very responsive and cylinder management aids gas mileage. Speed sensitive power steering and overall handing is better than previous Lexus"

"Handles wonderfully. Takes corners nicely, handled really well in the snow."

"Drives well. Good feel to it and good acceleration"

"Smooth running engine, plenty of power when needed. Handling is excellent - fun to drive"

"Comfort, safety features, acceleration & handling"

"The RDX has great acceleration and power. The handling could be a little more tight even though I never have experienced any issues."

"After owning many Acura products, the 2016 RDX is the best."

"The handling is a little stiff, not good or bad just stiff, like its riding on rails and takes a little effort to make it turn."

"Seats are very comfortable."

"Noise level is quite good. Seats are very comfortable providing a nice ride"

"Noisier than I would like."

"extremely comfortable seats"

"Driver seat - wish it would raise up higher than it does Noise - road noise is more than I would like"

"Noisy at highway speeds (around 115 - 125 KM.hr"

"I think that the cabin road noise level is too high. i a luxury car one should have quiet comfort."

"Front seat comfort is superlative. Head rest doesn't push your head forward and plenty of support in back and side of seats."

"Having to readjust seat to get in then again for driving. Door not wide enough. Gas latch hard to reach."

"smooth handling. Handles road bumps well and is very quiet inside. Seats can both heat and cool."

"The front seats are comfortable and have controls in all directions."

"It's the right size for us and is comfortable to ride in and quiet"

"Its as good as the Lexus for $5000 less."

"Seats"

"im 6'2" and fit very comfortable in the car .easy to get in and out . the ride could be better but i live in nyc where the raods are terrible."

"Low road noise, need some improvement in steering response and feel, seat are very comfortable"

"The seats are comfortable & easy to adjust , ride is good also !"

"Only complaint is road noise"

"Nice riding, good power, comfortable"

"We love to use this vehicle for family vacations due to its comfort, quiet and performance."

"very smooth and very little road noise."

"Extremely comfortable seats. Nice ride on long distances Very quite, with minimal rode noise"

"Seats are very comfortable. Vehicle is quiet for a compact SUV."

"The noise level is good on well paved roads, but gets worse on uneven tarmac. The seats are very supportive, even though the rear ones don't recline. The ride is pleasantly firm."

"A little nosier then I expected"

"Comfortable, supportive and roomy seating."

"Great comfort and ride. Very pleased with this vehicle. Seems much roomier than the CR-V."

"seats are very comfortable for long drives, car is quiet and it feels sturdy when raining and flooding"

"Seats are not as comfortable as the MDX"

"Thumping at rear when driving over rough roads. Had checked by Acura and told there was no noise. Yes there is!"

"There is a bit more road noise than I would have expected, and the ride isn't quite as smooth as I would have expected."

"It took one year for the dealer to find a noise in the front of the car."

"Seat too small"

"Firm (but not too firm) and contoured for my body. Easy to adjust. Seat venting feature is wonderful on longer drives. The cabin interior is very quiet. There is very little road noise."

"I ended up choosing the RDX over the CRV and Rav4 because of the noise difference. It is very quiet when compared to the CRV and Rav4, especially when accelerating."

"Very good seat comfort, height for size of vehicle; Acura finally got rid of the 'Honda' road noise this model year. Very quiet. Rides really well for front wheel drive."

"Most comfortable of cars we tested"

"Overall, the ride is excellent and very comfortable. No complaints."

"Good back support"

"The seats become uncomfortable after a couple of hours of driving. Not supportive enough."

"Uncomfortable seats on a Long Drive.. Too much Road(tire) noise on Different Pavements.."

"The seats are extremely comfortable. Lots of leg room today."

"Prior to purchase we tried all small SUV's including the top luxury models. NONE offered the space and comfort in the front seats that the RDX offered. After one year, I am still totally satisfied with this factor."

"Very comfy & quiet. Road noise is nonexistent."

"the leather seats are very comfortable and it is a pretty quite car to drive"

"Driver seat is comfortable, but passenger seats does not have enough controls to fit the seat to your body. Climate control is inadequate as it takes a long time to cool the car down when it is hot. Feel that it is a weak air conditioning system."

"Front seats seem too firm. Door arm rest is too low--note I am 5'7'' and have the seat as high as possible. I expected better gas mileage and I use "ECO" and try to hyperbole when I drive."

"Very quiet."

"The A/C unit is very ergonomic. It is a pleasant experience of using it. Only wish it could have a knob control for the fan speed too."

"The cool down time for the AC could be better."

"hard seats with limited thigh support"

"Excellent climate control system. Cools quickly adjusts acurately"

"The drivers seat is a bit hard, would like to re-design it."

"Road noise is less in our 2016 RDX than it is in our 2017 RDX."

"Seats, driving position and ride are the best I've ever experienced"

"I find the ride to be a bit stiff. Road bumps are too noticeable."

"Of all my prior new vehicles with "climate control", this is the first to actually perform to expectations."

"Very comfortable ride,"

"Would like to feel a bit less road vibration."

"The drivers\ seat causes my back to ache a little after a long trip"

"Navigation inaccurate. when set for driver #2--Goes back to driver # 1 every time engine is turned off. Car is noisey."

"The seats are very comfortable,particularly on long trips, I do wish the air cooling in the seats were much more forcefull. The ride is responsive and equally good on both pavement and gravel roads."

"Front passenger seat is low and cannot be adjusted. Otherwise, seats are comfortable."

"Comfortable ride,"

"When I first picked up car the rear shocks were bad causing an unsafe driving experience"

"ventilated cooled seat ! quiet enough to be pleasant good ride, no float, so far my experience with handling okay."

"I don't think the suspension is as good as the 2013 RDX I owned before this one. The vehicle doesn't ride as smoothly as it should. The 2017 has apparently fixed that by being able to eliminate the sport ride"

"The RDX has extremely comfortable seats and rides quietly making it a great vehicle for longer trips."

"The ride is a little harsher than I'd like."

"The seats are very comfortable and it's quiet when driving."

"reliability"

"Great car for the price"

"Excellent value when compared to other vehicles in its class. Extra features justify increased cost over honda CR-X."

"Good valve for the vehicle."

"The RDX is a tremendous value in the compact luxury SUV market. Comparable vehicles like the BMW X3 and the Lexus RX may have a few more luxury features, but neither has the combination of features that the RDX has and their MSRP is as much as $10,000 higher!"

"Voice commands are antiquated. Built in Navigation is useless"

"it is a noisey car on the inside-comfort is acceptable-Handling on rough roads not smooth--Interior is roomy- SUv built well"

"I love the fact the there were only two options when getting the car so it made it easy to pick and know the cost."

"It has the biggest trunk volume and a lower price compared with vehicles in the same class."

"Feature for feature it’s hard to beat the value you get for your money compared to other suv’s We considered."

"The RDX provided all of the luxury features I wanted along with a great technical package for a good price. The ability to use regular gas adds tremendous value as well."

"As was noted in your reviews, our RDX Advance package is a financial bargain compared to direct competitors such as the BMW X3. However, the optional I6 turbo engine on the BMW does distinguish it."

"Excellent value compared to its peers"

"Great value compared to Lexus"

"We got a good price for the RDX AWD Tech that is similar to lesser equipped models."

"Easily outperforms a lot of the competition, while being a lot less inexpensive, and more reliable."

"Great value for a entry level luxury suv. Nice ride, good acceleration, low road noise, comfortable, good gas mileage."

"We have found that the Acura RDX is very reliable and maintainable. We have need very little service except for routine maintenance. We also like the back up camera and the warning system when we change lines. Our major concern is the obscured visibility when we change lanes to the right - which is partially mitigated by the lane changing warning system. Dealer maintenance and support has been outstanding."

"excellent value compared to other vehicles with tech and advanced options"

"Was $10k less that comparable BMW or Lexus"

"I have the base model and I feel that I got the best value for my purchase price"

"It was priced several thousand dollars less than most vehicles in this class."

"Combination of acceptable style, drivability, space (Audi M5 won't even hold golf cubs - RDX does), acceleration and reliability"

"Great vehicle"

"Not great handling in the snow, noisy ride and somewhat choppy, controls somewhat confusing and not great sound from sound system. Comparing to my 2004 MDX was a much better car"

"Researched mid-size SUVs, with preference being a luxury brand. RDX was the best value for what you get for the price; to include styling, safety features and ratings, ergonomics, and ride."

"It has the most standard features compared to other compact premium SUVs."

"After discontinuing the product of the Ridgeline in 2014, Honda redesigned the 2017 with all of the shortcomings eliminated. I love every inch of the vehicle."

"We have owned numerous upscale vehicles over the years, including several BMW, Lincoln and Lexus vehicles, and the RDX is as generally competent and comfortable as any of them, but at a significant reduction in purchase price."

"Considering the price and the inclusion of options I thought this was a very good value compared to other high end SUVs"

"I like it but I wish I would have bought the MDX as the RDX has less cargo room than the Honda CR-V I traded in . Of course the mileage would not be as good on an MDX. That was one of the factors that was very important to me."

"good aceleration very good gages and overall ease of nav syst and all controls good seat confort"

"Very comfortable, even on 400 miles or more a day"

"With all the accessories and equipment, It's about four to five thousands less than other competitive cars in the same category."

"The size is perfect for me."

"Looks great, Love the Headlights"

"LED Jewel Headlights add to front end styling. Body lies are distinctive."

"Front grille styling could improve"

"Interior needs to be a grade more luxurious"

"Nice looking vehicle. I have had a person ask me how I like the vehicle."
