Acura RDX

"the handling is not as good at the 2007, but ride is tranquil and easy to live with. The steering wheel has little "Feel" , probably induced by an overly powered electric "drive by wire" controller"."

"Drives like a hot-rod"

"Handling is okay for an SUV. I am used to an Acura Legend, which handled superbly; the RDX is not nearly as solid. Biggest complaint is the "lean" on curves. Power is very good; brakes are excellent."

"Great puck up and all wheel drive is great in the snow and handles like a charm"

"tremenfous acc and brakes"

"pretty quick for a SUV of it;s size - handles well down the road"

"Easy to drive and handle; smooth ride quality."

"Great acceleration , handling and braking"

"One of the nicest handling vehicles I have ever driven. Great feeling of smoothness and control. Has the torque when rapid acceleration is needed."

"Handles and accelerates very well, but what I like best are the safety features such as blind spot indicators, back up camera, collision indicators and adaptive cruise control."

"Ride"

"Rdx has the feel of a sports car in the turns but the ride and quietness of a luxury auto."

"good acceleration … smooth handling … feels "solid" … no rattles or squeaks"

"Great acceleration and good handling. gets up and goes quickly."

"I drives beautifully"

"It is an SUV but it drives like a sedan. I went from a 2015 TLX to the RDX and am very happy."

"Acceleration is quick. The engine is more than adequate. Handling is good."

"Very controlled and responsive Short turning radius"

"Real problems with transmission slipping. Supposedly repaired and told it would take 1000 miles to see the difference. No problems for several weeks, and now the problem is back and it's over 1000 miles since the "fix.""

"not a responsive pedal to acceleration -- slight lag"

"Great acceleration, and handles easily. I also love the keyless entry."

"Handles beautifully. Turning radius is great/"

"Love the 6 Cyl engine. Great acceleration. Handles well. Advanced tech makes highway driving easy."

"Quick response to acceleration on entering Freeways."

"Great acceleration and available torque from the V6. Much sportier than other SUVs."

"good acceleration and handling compared to what I'm used to"

"Outstanding acceleration and cornering. Really hugs the road. The advanced features such as lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot warning, back up cross traffic warning, are all great safety features. They make both long and short distance trips much easier and safer. The handling characteristics are exceptional for a vehicle of this profile."

"smooth acceleration, firm braking."

"Very nice ride"

"Always has power to spare."

"Very easy handling great acceleration when needed"

"comfortable"

"The car handles well, and has ample acceleration with the 6 speed auto trans and the 6 cylinder engine. BTW, the engine is very smooth and very quiet."

"Has plenty of power. Handles well on the highway. The more I use the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist system the more I like them."

"good acceleration"

"handles like a high end sport sedan"

"Handles somewhat sporty for an SUV, acceleration is terific and the sound the engine makes while accelerating great"

"279 HP allows necessary acceleration to get on to freeways and accels in passing when required."

"keep up to the flow of traffic on freeway when entering the freeway."

"I don't really try to, but I do beat everyone when the light turns green."

"Very impressed with power/economy performance. Engine is v-6 `290 hp very strong, and I regularly see 27 or 28 mpg hiway driving"

"VALUE"

"Excellent acceleration. Average handling."

"The Six cylinder Acura out performs all the competition in the price range of the cars available today . I believe Acura is missing the boat when it comes to garnering the business it should get for the quality and performance they are offering in the 40 K range of vehicles offered by their competitors."

"Great acceleration So-So handling"

"Great acceleration and firm suspension and handling."

"The accelerator is hard to control for gradual acceleration from a stand still. It’s very touch"

"Vehicle is responsive and enjoyable to drive"

"Very. Good acceleration and handling"

"toggle shifting, cruise control, horsepower for passing, and turning radius"

"Comfortable and fast. some noise and vibration mostly from tire noise."

"Great!"

"The handling and acceleration is excellent. True V6 power when I need it like merging into traffic"

"Superb winter driving"

"Good handling, good acceleration for passing. Smooth ride."

"Handling and acceleration are great and exceeded my expectations"

"We love this car. Handling is great for a SUV. Acceleration is more than adequate."

"Lots of power, small turning radius, roomy inside, small,outside"

"Very responsive engine. Nice acceleration"

"This has to be the most reliable stable ride I ever experience in my 50 years of driving. It is smooth on cruising speed and does not hesitate when acceleration is needed. We use this car primarily for travelling and so far it has been a real pleasure."

"Handling is better than expected. Acceleration is average."

"I really miss the SH-AWD on this 2017 RDX,. The 4-wheel drive system is garbage, and its interesting that the 2019 RDX has brought this, and a turbo engine. back. Comfortable ride, and great for 4 people. Handing OK and good acceleration."

"Although we have only had the vehicle for two months, my assessment overall is that it has performed well. Perhaps it's Acura's choice and not a reflection of negativity, but the ride is a bit more harsh and stiff than I expected."

"Soft no supportive seats"

"The quietest ride in this class we could find. Very comfortable on long trips for both front and rear occupants."

"The ride is very compliant and comfortable. Some reviewers indicate a 'stiff' ride, but I feel it's just right--definitely more compliant than the Acura ZDX which I came from. Seats are very easily accessible with lots of room. Road noise could be a little more hushed though from the side windows."

"very uncomfortable had the back remade. The seat bottoms are very uncomfortable"

"Very comfortable and quiet. Great improvement over our 2010 MDX"

"Luxurious, roomy cabin. Seats are very supportive."

"The seats are the most comfortable of any car I had owned. Ride is a bit busy compared to a sedan. Road noise is more than I would like, but it's better than other small SUVs I evaluated."

"Overall great acceleration, ride, and seats. Beats the competitors on price too"

"Very stiff ride. Not comfortable on rough roads. Could be quieter inside. Very poor gas mileage"

"Very comfortable and easy to get in and out of"

"Quiet and smooth ride."

"Very good comfort on long rides"

"The seats are very comfortable. Ride is smooth and quiet."

"Most comfortable seats for me"

"The car has very comfortable seats. It's a bit noisier at highway speeds than I would have expected--primarily road noise. The ride is solid, maybe a bit stiff."

"Car is quiet at highway speeds. Suspension does a good job maintaining a comfortable, stable ride when pavement is poor. We drive a 6 hour trip regularly and the deals and interior environment is very comfortable"

"Great vision easy to enter and exit."

"Not enough leg room on passenger side Noise around rear window on passenger side"

"Super comfortable ride. Quiet cabin."

"Seats are comfortable, form fitting, firm on body. Noise is minimal better than in past. Ride is firm as expected but sometimes miss that Cadillac ride when potholed roads are a regular day. Passenger seat in my AWD Base model lacks adjustment options which makes it less comfortable and a bit frustrating overall."

"Supportive seats (front and back) are comfortable on long trips as weelmas in town. Cabin noise varies with road surface but well suppressed. The car is stable over rough roads, and while it isn’t a high-end sedan, it takes most surfaces in stride"

"Very comfortable for those with sciatica."

"Very comfortable, especially on long trips. Comfortable environmental controls."

"Quiet ride. comfortable SEATS"

"On long drives, I am comfortable. It feels like sitting in my living room."

"It’s a firm ride."

"This car is quick, quiet and smooth on the road"

"The seats are very comfortable, great support and lots of leg, hip and headroom."

"All very comfortable. Smooth ride and quiet"

"Very quiet, very smooth, lots of variable driving positions"

"They fit my body very well"

"Seats are sturdy and adaptive. They hold the driver well during sharp turns and the heating is quite responsive."

"Rattles in the headliner, passenger seat or passenger door. Still trying to track down the source of the noise."

"Road handling of bumps is the biggest disappointment with this vehicle"

"Seat adjustments are automatically controlled with presence of fob"

"Fairly low noise levels, seats are very cmfortable"

"It could be quieter inside the cabin"

"Quiet smooth ride. Has a bigger car feel. (a positive attribute) When extra power is needed and it drops a gear, the car is engine noise is definitely pronounced."

"If you encounter bumpy roads, the RDX bounces about with little or no comfort. Makes you feel as if you are losing control. It's definitely a concern. Auto need better performing springs. If on smooth roads, it is fine."

"Love the seats, very comfortable"

"One sits up high and can the hazards better. The seats are very comfortable. Noise is minimal even at high speeds. One feels the road but it isn't like some short wheel based trucks and jeeps."

"Very comfortable seats Lots of road/drivetrain noise Ride not very smooth"

"Comfortable seats. Quiet on the highway. Handles well. Good size."

"Lots of road noise from tires."

"Comfort is fine for short trips but, a little iffy for longer road trips. Road noise is minimal and ride is firm and stable."

"Very comfortable and support seats. Great for going on long trips. Road noise is very minimal and the rise is very smooth despite the fact that its an SUV"

"Great ergonomics and better than expected ride"

"seats very comfortable and with heating and cooling - used a lot! Noise incredibly low Great ride, terrific acceleration and braking!"

"The seating position for me is not great. Thigh support is minimal and the seats hurt my lower back after long drives."

"Heated and cooled seats are excellent"

"The car is noisier than expected. Even with the windows up, there is a whistling noise from the drivers window. Ride and seats are comfortable, firm, not cushy. Noise and road noise are the bigger issues."

"Very comfortable and easy adjustability is a plus with seats and driving position"

"Great feel, easy on the road. Nice way to feel the road, it is not as responsive as my TLX but the AWD makes it very easy to drive in corners and rain snow weather."

"The seats are the best I have ever had in a vehicle."

"Rear seats don't support long car rides."

"very comfortable seats"

"very comfortable"

"I do not care for the nav system very difficult to operate, voice command useless. I would never buy another Acura with Nav."

"The seats are firm and supportive. The ventilated front seats are a plus. The rise is fairly quiet."

"Exceptionally quiet ride, much better than any prior cars I've owned, which were primarily Acura/Hondas. Seats are very comfortable also. Great for road trips"

"This RDX is the most value per dollar, fully equipped, than anything else in its class. Outstanding end-of-model-year pricing."

"35K for hi tech and safety features - not on comparable models and makes"

"Competive with others in its class."

"so far an excellent car - looks good - rides good (noise control could be better) - handles well - enjoy driving the car"

"Great value for the car"

"Definitely a lot of content for the price I paid. Acceleration is fantastic with the V6 and AWD, very spacious for the 'footprint', relatively good fuel economy, and has just the right amount of technology for me (base model). There are some hard plastics around the doors and pillars that I would have expected higher quality for the marque, but then again, the total package was a very good value for the money."

"The cabin interior does not seem as nicely finished out as the Subaru."

"Great value and price"

"Lots of features - heated seats, leather, moonroof, Sirius XM - for a low price."

"After owning a 2013 RDX, we bought another one because, after researching all the SUVs in this class, the RDX represented the overall best value in terms of features and driving experience for the price. Most everything is included for the basic trim level price; most other SUVs would require adding expensive (multi-thousand-dollar) packages above the basic trim to get the same features, generally ending up costing $5,000-15,000 more to get similar features. It could be a bit more luxurious, but one can easily overlook that given the price."

"The 2017 RDX lease was the best deal I ever had. The dealership offered me top dollar for my trade and then discounted the MSRP by $2800.00 and then Acura gave me a $1,500.00 loyality discount on top of the discount and then the dealership thru in another $1,600. of dealer add on because I took delivery of a car they had on the showroom floor. The list price of that model with all the add on equipment was $46,000 and the final sale number was $40,000"

"Considering the safety features, I believe I spent less on this car (with Tech package), than I would have with competitor's SUVs, eg. BMW, Lexus"

"Luxury car for a very reasonable price. Wonderful acceleration and extremely comfortable."

"We've bought from this local Acura dealer before, so got a good deal on this Advance RDX."

"Reasonable price for the Simi lux SUV."

"My biggest complaint is gas mileage. I average 20 MPG, and it takes premium gas. Wish it had better mileage and took regular gas."

"Excellent SUV with excellent warning systems"

"Great value and well made for thousands less than competition, only navigation is the only negative about this suv"

"Great car —feel overpriced =. ? Value"

"Great value."

"At ADVANCE level all safety equipment was included."

"Best deal in the luxury SUV market."

"I've owned two mercedes and a BMW. In my opinion the Acura RDX fully equipped is a better vehicle in almost every way, especially in driver safety technology. And it is roughly 15 TO 20,000 dollars less than a fully equipped GLC or X3, with those both falling short of the RDX driver assistance technology."

"I think the ride quietness as well as the 280 HP six cylinder engine performance is the best value for the relative cost of the car . Previously owned a loaded Ford Escape for approximately 40 K and the Acura RDX for 1500 more blows the Ford Escape away as far as Everything. Ride , performance , economy , handling, and fit and finish , Acura has it all over the Ford . The leasing packages for the Acura are 125.00 less a month plus a 2500 less down payment. If you test drive both and price them out lease wise You Would always buy the Acura in the end ."

"Great auto, great mileage, seats could be better, not as good as my mdx. may take a look at the new turbo rdx as replacement for current mdx. have owned 8 new acuras and very few problems. some of the best autos for the dollars, try others but just not as good."

"Believe I am getting some very nice features at a very reasonable price. Do not like that Acura still recommends premium fuel rather than regular. Overall am very satisfied with Acura (this is my 4th Acura) and plan to lease again in the future."

"There is no downside!"

"Excellent value. Very satisfied."

"Great premium type Suv. Quick. V6 is great. Ride is firm."
