Cons

Pros

• Ride and Handling

  Rides very smooth and handles well. Very Pleasd!

• Interior Space

  Very comfortable and roomy. Plenty of leg room in the rear seat. Has plenty of cargo space.

• Value

  This is a 2021 Acura RDX SH-AWD with Tech Package. It had just under 13,000 miles when I purchased it in July of 2024. In my opinion, this vehicle has not even been broken in yet, and I was able to purchase it for $34,000. I consider that a great value.

Cons

• Power

  The 2Liter 4 Cylinder Turbo is not bad; it’s peppy. I just wish there were a 6 cylinder version available.

• Braking

  stops on a dime

• Reliability

  it's an Acura

  unreal audio and user interface

• Seat Comfort

  This vehicle is very comfortable to ride in. The interior is well built. Technology and styling is also excellent.

Cons

• Fuel Economy

Pros

• Power

  I admit it, I think of myself as a racer. My dad built muscle cars when I was growing up, so I like a car with power. When that light turns green, I want to be the first car off the line and yes, this car does it, without breathing hard!

• Ride and Handling

  It handles like a dream. The driver's seat has so much adjustability, you can really customize it to you. Even in a downpour, I feel confident in the handling, and I feel the car will keep traction and not hydroplane.

• Reliability

  I feel confident when I push the start button, it will run like a champion. It took a hot minute to get used to not having a shifting arm, but changing the drive with a button. Now, it's second nature.

Cons

• Dashboard

  My only complaint with the dash is there is no digital speedometer, only one with a needle. If you could download one, that would be great.

Pros

• Interior Space

  comfortable and plenty of leg room - front and back.

• Reliability

  Happy with Acura/Honda reliability. Have been a fan for over 30 years.

• Fuel Economy

Cons

• Cabin Noise

  Bad audio cable - popping noise. Bad sun roof frame - loud “intermittent” popping noise. (Service bulletins on both issues).

• Braking

  Braking seems to be “soft”.

Pros

• Power

  Great acceleration even in Comfort mode.

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  In 2020 when we purchased this gas was cheap so we didn't even think twice when the dealer mentioned this car takes Premium. Now with gas prices very high it has become quite expensive to own.

• Cabin Noise

  We've taken in the car multiple times because at highway speed it sounds like a door is ajar. Every time they just tell us all RDX's are like that and it's just the aerodynamics.

• Technology and Entertainment

  The Apple Car play is glitchy, it only works about 70% of the time when we plug our phones in. We have done all the updates on both phone and car yet you never know when you get in, if it will work or not.
