Thanks Alex! I went to Acura for a test drive after watched this review. And bought a RDX Tech package eventually. I was actually comparing this RDX with X3, Q5 and the new Jeep Cherokee limited version. After the thoroughly comparison, I bought RDX because of its cost efficiency and reliability.

Great review Alex. This may be the last of the virtually bulletproof Honda / Acura vehicles.

Hi, I'm in Alberta Canada - just started watching your reviews. I really like them, they are, in my opinion, about the best. No fuss, no flash, just good full, factual reviews. Great! Thanks

I bought my RDX in January and love it. Having this been my first SUV, I love the fact that it's luxurious, easy to drive and everything about it is perfect. Prior to my RDX I had a Lexus is250, loved the drive, but always problems. Hope to have good luck with my new ride!!

Alex--always love your highly detailed auto reviews. You are one of the best video reviewers on the web and I watch your videos like most people watch their fave tv shows!

Great review! My brain and wallet says go with the RDX, but my heart says go with the X3.

Great video!! After test driving most of its competition we purchased a RDX about a month ago. Now every morning I start the car I have a smile on my face :)

Thank you for these reviews! The best on KZfaq, your research is great and you've helped a ton.

First time I ever saw Alex on Autos. Wow! How do you do that? I don't think I've ever gotten more information faster in a KZfaq video. You are the original fast talkin' slow walkin' man in the know. I buy low mileage used cars, not new. Then I use them up. This segment has been very useful to me as I shop for a replacement for my V6 2004 Accord Coupe. (A very good car, by the way. Love that V6. Sip gas. Haul ass. Almost 200,000 miles without a single repair; just normal scheduled maintenance and consumables like brakes and batteries. (second set of brakes; third battery. What a car). Great job on the video. Really.

Alex. Watching car reviews is my hobby and i can honestly say you are the best. So detailed and information that is so useful. I actually just got this 2015 RDX after watching your video and my wife and i love jt. One question for you is about gas. I know that premium is recommended but dealer says regular is perfectly ok. I would like to see an explanation of how it affects the engine and or performance. Thank you so much for your awesome videos and will always check out your reviews before buying another car.

Great review, very informative, keep it up!

I just bought 2015 RDX a couple of weeks ago and have been paying close attention. I was aware of the complaints and I am as fussy as about such things as anyone. I have detected nothing vibration or sound-wise. The VCM works invisibly and well. The RDX is a great bang for the $$.

I loved all the detail. Found it very helpful. Thanks Alex!!

I am in the market for a similar vehicle and got a chance to take an RDX for an hour-long no-salesman-present test drive. I'm very detail oriented and an enthusiast. Here are my impressions: Pros: - Engine sounds great and pulls strongly to redline. Sport mode on the transmission makes a big difference in pep - Seats are 7/10 comfortable, as Alex says, and the leather is soft for this price - Price is very low compared to a similar BMW or Audi, or even MKC. $6-8k difference in Canada, and that's comparing to the competition's 4-cyl turbo not 6. Cons: - Navigation feels like it belongs in 2005. Although for 2005 it isn't that bad. Clunky and low res. - Tight steering and floaty handling a mix that doesn't inspire much confidence. - Floaty and slow to respond at highway speeds. - Car is easily manageable, but not precise the way an X3 is. MXM4 tires probably don't help - Road noise and engine noise (as good as the engine sounds) is a LOT louder and harsher than the competition A mid-model-cycle refresh with the MDX's infotainment (which is at least up to 2011 standards) and (dare I dream) SH-AWD available would make this a great car. In the mean time, as Alex said, it's a great value if you can overlook it's quirks.

Excellent - best car review I've ever seen !

A tow rating of 1,500 lbs scratches the RDX off my list. Even the XC60 can tow twice that amount. Also, thanks for your excellent reviews. They are the best I have found on KZfaq and they have been very helpful in my research for my next SUV.

I like the toned down grill and glad to see they didn't put those small, square leds in for headlights.

Thank you Alex. Great and very professional review :)

This is the only brand I really don't hear that much about anymore. And I thank you Alex for talking about it. I lost touch with all the Acura models and it's a shame.

You made me want a rdx now.

Hey *****, I completely agree with your review. I think as far as luxury crossovers are concerned, the RDX represents the best value. Even though the design is uninspiring (much better than the previous generation RDX, though), fit & finish as well as driving dynamics and looks is not as good as the BMW X3 or Audi Q5, you can't beat the value for the price. The German rivals are just priced too high. I was able to test drive the RDX and it was supremely comfortable, quiet, and luxurious. Sure the BMW and Audi are probably better but still doesn't justify the 5k to 10k premium you'll pay for them. Not to mention, the RDX is a bit more reliable.

Very good Review!

Alex, you give one of the most complete and detail review videos. I love it. I own the 2013 RDX and there is only one minor detail you said that I kind of disagree... it the 'big glove box' remark. The glove box is very small and shallow on the 2013/2014 RDX, it barely enough room to hold its manual LOL.

At first I'm thought you were reviewing the Acura MDX. I totally forgot the RDX still exists and in making it look so much like an MDX, really didn't notice a difference until you were standing by it.

@ 14:27 that smile you have when vtec kicked in yo Lol, nice review.

Is that hood prop rod included with the Technology Pack?

An amazing video. Thank u

Alex, Good job Man..Keep these informative videos coming...

Can you comment on the sound system on the tech model?

I love the RDX, very nice CUV and I see it alot on the roads. I have a question for you, did Honda start the cylinder deactivation on their 2004 oddyssey calling it VCM?

Can you also compare the cars in terms of depreciation and cost to owner by time through repair?

These SUVs are starting to look better with age.

I wish they would put turbos in the V6 in this and the MDX.

GRRRRREAT REVIEW!!

Yeah, go with RDX

Better power plan than the competition

Can you show a base model

You praise the driving enjoyment of the RDX. Which do you prefer, this or that Tiguan R-Line you reviewed?

Sadly Acura is not giving same attention to RDX and the 2015 model is still not at same level as MDX, TLX or any latest Honda models: - nav/ent system is still gen behind and no color info instrument cluster display. - missing is Honda/Acura security features like lane departure warning, blind spot, ... - as mentioned no SH-AWD and I think suspension could use tuning of the heavier MDX to reduce body roll bit more. It's great value though since you can get it typically few K's below MSRP but unfortunate Acura doesn't update it to keep up with latest Acura/Honda models features.

Brilliant!

Which model is more reliable in your opinion? The RDX or the MDX?

Hi! Great review, I would like to know if this car can use regular fuel?

2015 acura rdx or 2015 lexus nx300h? This will be my first vehicle to be financed.

Any word on VCM vibration issue? Did you notice any strange vibrations from the front end while test driving? I'm considering buying one but this issue makes me nervous, but it could be exaggerated.

Hi Alex, Can you comment on the Vibration issue on RDX as well as MDX consumers all complaining about?

Can the RDX run OK on 87 octane gas. The Lexus RX 350 does.

74 decibels is silence in my car.

Hi! Great review as usual! Can you tell me if the rear seat legroom is the same in the RDX 2013?

Hi Alex, is the 6 speed transmission same as that's in the new Pilot?

Hey Alex. I would like your thoughts and comparison with latest X3.

"exclusive trunk comfort index" XD

Cool..

How reliable is RDX?

Hey Alex. Why don't you throw a subscriber party in your basement? lol. I got plenty a crippy. lol.

I wish RDX had blind spot monitor system.

Yeah, but the BMW's repair costs are much higher over the life of the vehicle.

Quieter on the road than a CX-5 GT?

someone is dragging a dead body 4:42

Buick regal gs

Alex, word from an Acura dealer is that a 2016 RDX, with interior features modeled after the current MDX, will be out in the Spring of 2015. Have you heard anything to that effect?

Boosie regal dully

Can’t fit two Super Big Gulps in the rear cup holders? PASS!!!

How is this a value entry? You can't get anything for the money this car is worth. Even if you wanted to shell out extra for options NOTHING is available for this car. Its as high tech as a first generation Acura MDX back in 2000.

HEY Alex L. Dykes I like your video??
