V6 made the choice easy over the 4 banger RDX. 2016 bought in 2019 and no / zero issues to engine or car beyond a tranny issue covered under warranty and a battery issue (keep your terminals tight!). Dislike the infotainment and wish it had apple carplay. Also wish mine had a luggage rack on top. Run Premium gas and it is happiest.

Well some of the reasons why people don't like it is because it is unintuitive and is exactly the same as the Honda system.

Bill Jones is the infotainment system horribly out of date? Thinking of buying one

No apple car play

How is the handling

Does it take regular unleaded?

Yes, you can use regular but engine performance will be minimized. To get maximum performance premium is recommended.

***** Nope. You want performance you have to go ultra.

Respawn - Agree, Acura V6’s require the good stuff (91+ octane).

Respawn bro is it roomy inside am a big guy

Are you still enjoying the vehicle? Any issues at all with the engine or transmission or just routine maintenance? Thanks for any feedback you may have.

@@stephensmith8316 Iv'e got one as well, everything is still good with our's, only real issue we have had is squeaking breaks. However the was fixed with the service and wonderfully covered under warranty.

@@stephensmith8316 I have a 2016 and it still holds up great. Im a Toyota/Lexus fan boy but, it made me respect Honda.

@@boredashell666666 Good to know. It seems like a lot of car manufacturers putting out 4 cylinder engines these days are having a lot of reported issues of oil consumption. For a while there, I was hearing some of the Acura RDX model years were having those issues, but I wasn't sure.

@@stephensmith8316 I have the 3.5 V6 so I don't know if they have the same issue. I usually stick to a tight schedule with annual maintenance and I haven't seen any issues with oil consumption. But, I barely drive 8k miles a year.

I hope more people hate this feature so that I can buy it for a lower price.

Iron Shaft Or just use google maps on your phone.

I love mine too!!!

+azkmn7 only reason why i won't buy an acura is because of the infotainment. so stupid.

Lexus all the way?

I like the navigation package. The screen is actually easy to see in bright sunlight.

Water

Alicia Martinez Moon roof doesnt make it heavier... And the front seats have both heating and cooling

Then buy the new one

Car manufacturers are finally figuring it out that "hey we suck at this" so Honda's new CR-V 2017 only the highest trim level has the built in Navigation. Instead knowing most people have a cell phone, you'd connect to Android Auto or Apple Carplay, and now you have a navigation system that uses real time traffic updates. I predict eventually like CD's, the Navigation systems will eventually go away.

I mean, it took Toyota until 2020 to add Android Auto to their infotainment system. I hate how much vehicles cost and one of the most used portion of the vehicle "infotainment" is always slow to incorporate new technology.

Drive both. Use your brain.

my friend who works as a saleman at a Acura dealership told me the all lane warning feature is mostly often pushed for perspective female asian drivers

+billy black youre the problem of this country!

+Adam N. just know there's no knowledge inn the ignorant smh

Good for you?

Laquan c Do you have lane departure warning?

Twin Fun nx hands down

Twin Fun RDX

Mine has 50k miles and runs like a new car. Hopefully your car wasn’t trashed by a fool.

@@broskoone It's a clean car inside and out but it has this problem that it shakes badly on the highway don't know what the reason!

@@trueshinobi1058 it has cylinder de-activation, so when it shakes it is running on 3 cylinders instead of the 6 to save on gas.

@@trueshinobi1058 try tire rotation

MegaGuitarpicker You can use regular octane as well.

ballards02 It has AWD

ballards02 It DOES have AWD. Even the most basic type have it

Would you rather pay $1000 for a direct injection carbonized valve cleaning? Or perhaps $4000 for a turbocharger replacement once your warranty expires as on competitor products using turbo I4's?

Not really concerned with turbo reliability but I am not a fan of direct injection. Incidentally, Toyota is utilizing a system that utilized both port and direct injection...mitigating valve coking issues. Not really a direct comparison with the RDX but the current Rav 4 has neither a turbo nor direct injection. The Hybrid Rav 4 and Lexus RX and NX have ZERO belts whatsoever. Fact is, there are just too many options out there and timing belts need to go into the dustbin of history. I'm also irritated with the fact that Honda still uses solid lifters as well: Those might have an advantage on a smaller engine but not really on a mainstream vehicle.. and they just sound like crap. (Sewing machine anyone?). Some people might not like this type of criticism but some things just don't need to be maintenance items and as expensive as stuff is getting? get rid of the timing belts and solid lifters. No one wants to worry about that kind of stuff anymore.

@@SirtubalotTX what's a solid lifter ?

@@aayonce4 Do a quick search. solid vs hydraulic lifters. Lots of info. Main point here is hydraulic lifters do not need occasional adjustments and work for 99.9 percent of consumer use cases.

Nothing wrong with timing belt. On J35 engines it is replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles or every 7 years, and the work is not expensive. Timing belt is the reason why that engine is so smooth. I have a CR-V 2000, B20B engine with timing belt, zero problems. If you are a carguy, there is no problem, but if you just drive and put gas, then you better get the habit of taking care of your car...

Ivan Vojt lol wat

wonderwall135 lol

ruzzell907 lol it’s absolutely hideous. It’s a crime of humanity. If I had to deal with three screens and 100 fucking plastic buttons every day my eyes might explode

Gregarious Solitudinist most SUV's don't have standard awd...

False

24/7 Gaming Ya, Honda new CRV "offers" meaning you still have to Pay additional money to get it. You could do to same for Acura, jusy have to pay more. But pretty sure most of us are looking for RDX because it have better quality material but not as expensive an Luxury brand.

ruzzell907 Japanese cars > Korean cars. End of discussion.

ruzzell907 But Kia dealers suck.

ruzzell907 Kia might have better style, but Acura is more durable and better quality material...... I rather choose safety over appearance

+Joshua Chastanet For the power and performance you get in the RDX, the fuel economy numbers are actually quite good

kingdarius5252 ikr and this is honda luxury brand and mazda doesnt have one . honda might as well pack up and give up and stick to their domestic brand , but i guess as long as soccermoms still buy them they will survive somewhat

As long as gullible fools still buy them lol

thehotsung8701A Yeah. It really

Mazda CX-5 is a station wagon and ugly. Drove it when my car was getting fixed for a few days and it was a piece of tin.

You can`t afford this car.
