Hello I was wondering if I can ask you a question I'm looking at purchasing a used 2018 Acura RDX I was looking at the base model is it worth spending the extra money getting the technology or Advance package thank you for your opinion

The RDX is growing old in the crowded luxury crossover segment. For 2018 that hasn't changed, so do you think it's still competitive? Let us know, and don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed!

Do you folks know if Acura has fixed the RDX transmission shudder/judder problem in the 2018s? This problem has seriously detracted from the owner experience since 2013. I am waiting to see if Acura will be replacing the torque converter in by 2014 RDX.

2009 Acura RDX turbo technology package is a blast to drive and it has an 18 gallon fuel tank and every video will mention the sound system but just glosses over the fact there's a 10-inch subwoofer in the back and Tweeter speakers above the heads of the back passengers

I just bought a 2017. I don't care too much about the infotainment system however I prefer the 3.5 V6 over the smaller displacement turbo thats coming in the next version. My biggest complaint are the low grade seats. Would be great if it came with the same seats as the MDX.

@matthewyim1736 7 жыл бұрын

Hey Car Confections, excellent review! To be honest, Acura really needs to update their Acura Link infotainment and get rid of the dual screen layout. I'm also hoping they'll add more luxury features standard on the Technology trim. They also need to add more power trains like a turbo i4, or a V8.

@GBraidi78 7 жыл бұрын

Matthew's Car Corner I agree bro, however they are going to have new wide screen infotainment system starting in their 2019 model I think. I can't wait to see what it will look like

@CarConfections 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Like GBraidi78 said, all those things should (hopefully) be fixed in the all-new model. We are particularly excited about the prospect of a new infotainment system!

No Turbo! I'm trying to get out of a vehicle that has twin turbo. Turbos are just moving parts, something else that's going to break. I'm looking into the RDX naturally aspirated V6.

Nice Review, But the thing I dont like is that they did not change the Grill nor the tail lights for this year like they did with the MDX, TLX or the new RLX 2018. Even though this car is subtle and elegant at the sime time. What are your thoughts about it?

How do you compare fuel economy without covering premium fuel requirement vs regular? Premium costs 60 cents more per gallon than regular currently where I live.

Hi there! The RDX does not have heated rear seats (even though the button may make it look like it does). A heated rear seat button for Acura's will look like this (21:37 in video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNd8npxy3NLLiJc.html)
