Thank you very much! We are very excited to show you guys some great cars coming out this summer and fall :)

Just bought one to replace my '07 Tech, and it is a huge improvement. This is my favorite review and I think I've seen them all. Nice job!

I’ve had my 2013 RDX Tech since April of 2013 (5+ years) and the only issue I have had is premature brake rotor repair. I swapped out OEM brake rotors with high performance drilled and slotted brake rotors with ceramic pads and that made a huge difference in performance and wear. Otherwise, I just change the oil, the air filters, and trans fluid myself and have never had any issues. It’s been a awesome car and I will drive it until it falls apart which shouldn’t be anytime soon.

We agree, same thing with the ILX, exhaust on luxury cars should never be hidden

No rear AC vent because this is a car designed for single professionals who are still looking for a mate.

I wiped my own damn face after all that water left the exhaust 😂

6:33 The amount of liquid coming out of that exhaust! Hahaha.

Your reviews are excellent - keep on keeping on!

As soon as my dad checked this car out at the Acura dealer, he was kicking himself for not waiting to buy his CR-V lol. Really well designed vehicle and I've been all over Acurazine watching and this car is selling so well to previous Acura owners and other people too! I love this engine also. Scoots to 60 in 6.2 seconds and sounds amazing on start up. We love it our Odyssey!

I'd like to say i am really enjoying the new videos. Love how you state your opinions! Keep up the good work! (oh the RDX is sweet too!) :D

btw ... you're doing some great reviews ... keep up the good work!

Nicely done Sofyan! We still have our 2007 RDX, and plan to keep it a while, but after I took the 2013 for a ride last year I felt like you read my mind, lol. Such a better vehicle, and 99.91% won't miss SH-AWD. Unless I missed it though, was surprised you didn't mention Acura ditching the viable exhaust tips, my only gripe.

I get happy when i see your channel name on my dash!

8:23 who doesn’t love that growl of that j series v6

I own a ‘08 RDXw/tech... and I have been looking at the Lexus RX 450h & the TL(thanks to your video on the ‘13 TL.) I had NO intention of you ever getting another RDX until I saw this video. I will definitely add it to the list. Thank you. Keep up the good work!

lol why thanks, I still work there, I eventually want to make 2theRedline my career though :)

Great review

It's high on our list of vehicles :)

I really like the old model better. That K23A Turbo sounded so good! And I like the styling.

Absolutely Love Acura's...they're very under-rated in the Luxury Market IMO.

you are the Man!!! i like your vídeos thanks a lot...

The lack of rear seat vents is pretty inexcusable for me..even for the model year.

Nice video dude!

6:32 Good god.

I'd love to see you do a review of the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport! I'm deciding between that and an Acura RDX. Any plans to review that soon?

nice car, definitely my fav in this class

I wish you guys would put out more stuff! It seemed like you'd upload more, before the 2theredline thing. x_x

Columbia Pike! I live pretty close by in Old Town Alexandria!

Any plans for a review on the TSX Sport Wagon?

Nice Review Of 2013 Acura RDX. 😀

This Acura RDX is much better than the old one. I did like the old one but this one is much better. I like the convenience of the keyless entry and start, sometimes I forget where I put my keys at on my person but that would be much easier for me. By the way what is that device you have on the passenger seat and where did you get it from and how much. I now like the way Acura's and Honda's are going with there cars. Keep the reviews coming.

Timing chain or belt

Is good to see you doing a review on a Acura/Honda product again, you look more at home in that type of vehicles, do you still work at the Ford dealer?

I subed, very good review

I hate that people are nitpicking about the older model RDX because I still have mine and I love it to death and the new one is good too but the old one was better and people should stop nitpicking about little things that's really not that important just make it a little bit better in the next year

not a problem! Deffinately worth the wait.

This gen has a timing belt or timing chain?

can you do a review on the new 2013 civic coming out tomorrow?

i sat in this at the ny auto show and dam what an improvement, I really curious to see how the new mdx turns out. This new rdx definitely stood out. But i think the new rdx/ilx is gonna help acura put out the new mdx/rlx/nsx quicker. WHAT DO YOU THINK!!!

We weren't trying to make a big deal out of it, we were just pointing out which surfaces are hard and soft, doesn't mean its a bad thing when certain surfaces are hard touch

I really like the interior and agree with the choice to switch to the 3.5l v6.. turbos are fun of course, but if I was buying a near luxury suv id like it to have a nice smooth power delivery,

I Just bought a 2018 base and I love it.

We are just in a transition phase right now, we are trying to get our website up and running first. We personally have over 20 new videos to edit and upload but the website needs to go up first, hoping to get it done this week, thanks for your patience :)

Acura is good at taking the normal Honda vehicles and making them a lot more premium. This RDX is a good step up from the CR-V.

sounds soo good

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Nice review, how is the ride when the vcm switches from 6 to 3 cylinders? I heard there were a bunch of related problems with vibrations Thank You :)

Trust me, this will all change, we are just in a transitional phase right now. I have over 25 new videos to upload and edit but we are working to get the website up first. Hoping to get everything situated and fixed this month :) Thanks so much for your patience!

yay a new video!

My old 2001 TL has rear passenger ac/cooling vents .. I’m pretty sure my old 93 Legend did too. WTH?

looks soo nice

Good video

it may look cool and sure its less expensive, you cannot compare the two. Buyers in the market for a luxury SUV care about the name brand. You get more response if you tell your friends you bought a "luxury" name, you also get the better service at the dealership

Love it, just needs Yellow/Amber rear signals

Ugh now that he pointed out the fact that there are no rear vents in the back that's gonna drive me nuts! That is a serious oversight on Honda's part. Someone is spending nearly $40k and Honda/Acura couldn't be bothered with rear seat vents? OMGWTFBBQ!

Just wondering if you could like go over the head unit a little of each car during a review to just give us an idea of how the tech works .

Is it an option to get the SH-AWD? Or are you stuck with the crappy CRV like AWD?

Should gas come out like that ??

I really like this new RDX. I like what Honda has done recently. Period! If I had the money, I would buy this in the top trim in the exact color, then go buy a 2013 Accord Coupe 6-6 (V6 6MT) in either Black, White or that nice Vortex-like Blue they have. After I bought those two, I would buy another Acura, the ILX 6Mt and cut the rear doors off, weld it all up nicely and redo some sheet metal, call it a day! (Yeah right) But my point is, I like the New styles. They look luxurious and sporty

2019 RDX is combination of both previous two models. That’s why the new one is perfect :)

no audio demo?

the nav is touch right

My aunt has a 2013 Acura RDX and it is a nice car.

This RDX version, which started in 2013, and has had minor tweaks each year is a awesome car, awesome value! Period! A more significant visual refresh for 2016 has even enhanced that fact! Also, the fools complaining about the gas mileage have apparently never driven this car. It gets close to 30 mpg on the highway and averages 23 in mixed driving. Also, it's a substantial car, and it's fast as heck! The majority of the comments below highlight the fact that you should keep your mouth shut unless you know what your talking about.

i saw this first in avengers so hot, loyal acura customer

How about the New honda Crv?

Does it have a button to go 4x4

It does have perforated seats!!! And the NAV is not that bad! However I agree with you in everything else.

I wish you did drive by exterior shots. I know others agree. I won't stop till u do em

I totally agree with you man. "Acura is just a Japanese Lincoln and doesn't stand out enough" .They need to make more fun to drive car , more luxury features and better looking cars.

Nice vid man.These suv looks nice but in that price range i prefer a nice sport german suv like the audi Q5 or bmw X3 rather than a fancy bland crv.

Nope, it is not a touch screen, you control it from the knob

damn that exhaust was full of water lol

looks like its worth the money!

Fair enough

What’s faster RDX V6 or RAV4 V6?

I see the Lexus RX on the side but this is better. Love the new RDX! Didn't quite care for the angry bird styling of the last one.

How bout the new Dodge Journey?

I like the redesign, but there's one gripe I have with all Acuras. I can excuse Honda for inconsistency w/their LED 3rd brake light (or LED taillights in general like the previous Accord vs. current generation). In other markets Honda is marketed as a premium brand so some models have it and some don't depending on which factory it's sourced from. When you're paying a premium for an Acura & don't get those small tech/safety things like an LED 3rd brake light, it cheapens the aesthetics a bit.

if dual tip exhaust were on here it would like bad in the back Imo

It has the typical noisy Honda A/C compressor. I think that at this price it should have full time AWD, air vents in the rear, and auto windows for all occupants. I do like the look though and the color combo look great. Given the choice I would go with the light colored interior and exterior. The dust shows less and it doesn't get as hot because lighter colors reflect heat better than dark ones.

Acura/Honda simply with this new design should have keep the previous model better handling suspension and SH-AWD with this V6 engine and true dual exhaust. I prefer the compact 325 h.p. Infiniti EX37/QX50 with the 19" rims, all-around safety cameras ,front/rear sonar parking sensors and I'll get a full window tint.

Nice car and all but the new Santa Fe looks more interesting for the price. They both look very similar too.

lol I have ALREADY seen some of these. In fact, I may ask this woman who lives down the street from me to check her's out. I am guessing she works for Acura, because I always see a new Acura in her driveway. Now she has a RDX.

I've owned the first gen turbo model, and now this 2013 model. I enjoyed the old one more than the new. The 2013 is more upscale and luxurious, but the ride is just plain boring. Sure the old one had worse mileage and turbo lag, but it never felt as heavy and null while driving even straight not mentioning cornering. The 6 speed is much better but, I cannot stand how early it shifts from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. It would drive much better if 1st and 2nd gears were much taller like in the previous. This 2nd gen is decent, but if you are looking for a vehicle with character and sportiness, the older model or an entirely different vehicle would be better.

Why they just hide the exhaust? This thing needs a dual exhaust and it will look more agressive

Excelente suv, aunque me gusta mas la linconl mkx

theyve said that 'people dont care about the stereo and the shawd so we are taking it out if the next gen products'. look it up, acura talking about their new direction

I agree, my buddies 98 Ford Explorer has rear air vents, fan controls and full time AWD and Honda should be ashamed they still use those noisy high drain compressors/engine fans they used a decade ago. I think its a good car but Honda clearly cheaped out in areas.

yo chill with the jump cuts, giving me a headache

Not really, we just bought an X3, it starts at $38k. To be fair, once we put a few options in it, we paid $45k. (it wasn't even loaded, still plenty of options we didn't get) ... and that's the 28, not the 35i. We looked at the new RDX too, and you get more options for the loaded $40k than, than the X3's $45k price.... but we just didn't like the looks of the new RDX as much, and the X3 drove better. The last RDX was better than this current one. (we actually were comign from an 07 RDX)

To my eyes this is hondas best looking car ... i'd say it's also their best launch since the last civic and the new odyssey and it's well positioned pricewise. But i wish they had a better interior design than what's showing up on this and the ilx. It doesnt look bad it just doesnt say "expensive" like it should and adding chrome in the center console just cheapens it. Doesn't seem like it would be too hard to come up with something better.

This is basically designed for more refresh add ons to make it more appealingto buyers in each coming years. Id like to see it best in its last model year.. But then a new better redesign comes.. what a car buying trend :(

I hope the K23 isnt completely disposed of. I hope the K23Turbo gets dropped into the TSX or the ILX. Something! It would be nice to have a Type-S TSX for it last production year since its being combined with the TL later on ans 'SE' trim wasn't to special. (TLX) Perhaps the TSX could get the cheaper AWD system and the K23Turbo or later down the line the ILX gets that same treatment. Old RDX was based of the civic platform so why can't the ILX (which is Civic!) have it?? lol. Just my rant.

This Acura RDX are incredible...its my dream car...one day i will buy an Acura RDX!!! If God want it...hiauiahi...Please Acura, give it to me!!!heheheh

What an attractive SUV! The old one looked like a rat with a mouthful of food! Also thank god that old engine and 5 speed auto are now gone! I'm a huge Audi fan (I can only afford VW's LOL) but Acura is really catching my attention!

The car practically took a piss when he reved the engine

The old one

I like the old RDX much better!!!

I know right? It got my camera all wet :( lol
