the criticism on the Acura touchpad is so exaggerated. you have to be really inept to not understand how to use and get used to it to where its pretty fluid. Jodi made it seem like rocket science😂😂

BAD BAD BAD REVIEW. The RDX is a great car for the price, I NEVER heard this much negative about the RDX. Dear Infinity, so how much paid them? Smh

Almost everyone on this comment section disagrees with this review... what is going on Autoguide? Was this video sponsored by Infiniti?

Wow, so much negativity towards the Acura RDX! These two needs to go! Bring back the original staff please!

You picked the antiquated infotainment system and $10k more Infiniti then the RDX?! Nuts....sorry the Infiniti is not worth $10k more.

“I didn’t know what these two trackpads did until I started messing with them.” I’m sorry, but this and so many other explanations for why you have gripes with interacting with the vehicles is ridiculously elementary and incredibly unorganized.

It sounds like it's a whinging contest with little to offer in terms of in depth information. Every complaint is just too exagereted. Maybe you guys have the impression that by complaining a lot will make people think that you are experienced and really knowledgeable about the subject matter... But in fact it just sounds boring and sometimes nonsense - it's not rocket science!!

This is the longest Infiniti commercial I have seen.

YOU ALL SHOULD CONSULT ALEX ON AUTOS AND REDLINE REVIEWS THEY BOTH PREFER THE RDX FROM THIS PRICE RANGE

How much did Infiniti pay you guys?

This review was awkward to watch. Warning bells going off....really! Did you take the time to learn the vehicle before turning on the camera? Did you know you can adjust warning systems like collision mitigation and lane keeping assist? Sorry guys but This was a mailed in review. review

This has to be the most inaccurate comparison I have ever encountered. Yes, it does look like Infinity paid for this review. If you are going to review please be honest. I have driven the Acura 2019 for 7 months and never did it ever scream at me about my driving. I dont drive slow mostly high speed highway and only once did the car warn me to stop. Lane keeping assist warned me several times but all time I WAS out of my lane. I am assuming you two need a new driving test because something is lacking here with your driving. You never mentioned the sound system because Acura's is better. As for the touchpad. It took about a day to learn it and after customizing it I just dont take my eyes off the road. I have had three cars with touchpads and had to look down every time. If you are going to review auto's, please be honest. As for the brakes I thought they were mushy the first time I drove it but they're actually really good after driving more than a couple of hours. Like anything on a vehicle you drive everyday you and the car become one. The infinity CVT engine is the worse in a luxury car. All i can say is...drive the Infinity then drive the Acura and i mean more than just a block around the dealership and the Acura will come out as best. Unless you just drive your car to pick up groceries as mentioned in this interview. Really inaccurate review.

LMAO. A minute into the video I knew what the comments were gonna look like... I'm sorry guys; you missed the mark, but I enjoyed other videos of yours.

The interior of the Acura is stunning. It's bold and different. Heavy emphasis in *DIFFERENT*. I personally enjoy how the dash, center console and doors seem to "wrap" around you, that good good cockpit feel. Not a fan of crossovers, but the "front interior" of the RDX is more sporty, while still having a very upscale premium look✔

Yeah, 60K vs 48K car.

Maybe you should read the manual first before you drive you will learn something. RDX👍

Weird. I own a 19 RDX A-Spec and I've never thought once that the driver assistance is annoying or that it yells at me like you guys say. I also have my settings for warning set on normal so perhaps you guys just have it set on the most sensitive mode of the 3 options. And as far as the interior goes, I think it's great. I came from a Audi A4 and I think the interior easily competes. Also the infotainment screen is great and didn't take any time to learn. Just think you guys are being a bit dramatic on the reviews trying to be funny. Craig is still my #1 boo. I did check out the Infiniti also before buying but they lost me with that old tech inside there with the two screens.

Obviously, the reviewers are entitled to their opinions, but I do feel they were not fair in their comparison of the vehicles. Watching it, you could feel instantly they didn't feel the RDX. And that's fine, but it felt like more nitpicking of negatives of the RDX, instead of actually comparing the vehicles features head to head. I noticed that y'all were mentioning how good the audio on the Infiniti, but never mentioned how it was on the RDX (which many other reviewers have raved about). And there has been much criticism about the infotainment of the Infiniti, with its 2 screen functions just like how Honda's products were criticized, but you seem to make excuses for it. Both products have their strengths, and neither are perfect, but if you are going to do a comparison, actually compare feature to feature.

CVT???!!! YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD QUIT YOUR JOB!!!!!

Actually....? Actually AG is start to sounds ridiculous with their reviews. Acura for me any day.

Oh my God. Quit your job please.

What a lackluster review. Normally i'd agree with their criticism but not with this comparison. I had an RDX A-SPEC SH-AWD as a loaner while getting maintenance done on my car. It drove fantastic and the infotainment took all of 5 min to get used to. The sound system was incredible as well. I will have to agree about the sensitivity of the "Acura Watch" though. It kept beeping at me to brake even if i wasn't close to anyone. I used to own an infiniti Q50 with the same infotainment as the QX50. It looked EXTREMELY outdated when it first came out in 2014. Looks even worse now. Acuras cabin is MUCH nicer than the infiniti. the fit and finish is a step above.

Wow...what the hell did I just watch? I own an Infiniti and there is no way in hell the qx50 is better than the RDX.

They forgot to say that the review is sponsored by Infinity.

Worst auto review I've seen in a long time.

Damn they went ham on the Acura all the other reviews have been positive except for the info I'm confused😒

This review was annoying. You hate brand new tech but praise the 10 year old tech in the Infiniti? Ask for a CVT in the Acura but hate it in the Infiniti? Idk...stick to one thing. Also, I’m sure if you spent more time in the Acura, you’d find that you can probably change the safety features so that they don’t make audible noises. This was way too nit-picky

Clearly the RDX is better, wonder how much Infiniti payed them lol. Also they need to do research before they review cars, ridiculous.

They are sponsored by infinity. They are apples to oranges when it comes to reliability and quality. The RDX is a 4 cylinder that almost packs 300hp lol. Talk about Japanese engineering at its finest. Lets just say infinity doesn't give massive rebates for nothing. Seriously, they also depreciate like a mother. Get a 2017 QX50 for half the price AND ask for a rebate, they will give you it lol. The AWD system features torque vectoring which is technology used in the NSX and other supercars which is out of this world.

This was a bad review AG

Let's be honest, the only thing more distracting than the RDX interior was Jodi's adorkable 80's geek glasses

Not only do these two know nothing (except how to get a pay day from failing Infiniti) but they are also unbearable to listen to. Keep up the good work?

These guys aren’t even trying to hide the fact they are hating on Acura like always, it’s not even believable they are trying to make a fair comparison and I love infinity over Acura What made me think this review was complete shit was they said they’d basically prefer the cvt or a traditional auto..... Unprofessional reviewers, their biases totally show

When all other reviewers compliment the RDX and it's a well known a great car. But these 2 have nothing to say but complaints about the RDX, makes me wonder how much did Infiniti paid them to down talk Acura. So I unsubscribe their channel immediately as it's misleading people by makeup unfair common.

This is the dumbest comparison ever. You are going to pick the half-baked Infiniti with the dated tech from 2008 over the thoroughly modern RDX all because you couldn’t take time to figure out the infotainment system and it’s not so steep learning curve? Seriously?

This review is all over the place. I don’t believe anything you guys said. You guys didn’t come close to actually comparing these two.

RDX ALL DAY.

Sure was a lot of cherry picking of the Acura, like anything new to someone you have to get use to it SMH

Thank you for this review! Finally someone reviewing a crossover with the criteria that people who shop for crossovers are generally looking for... just a comfortable, quiet ride. I too find all the warning systems totally overstimulating, and I don't need a crossover to feel sporty and aggressive. You two are great!

The most bad review On KZfaq

So Acura finally gets rid of the two screen system that these guys complained about forever and when they introduce a newer more intuitive system they still complain. What exactly is it that they want 🤨

These two people have no clue on why people buy these cars. All these performance talk is a waste of time. Honda product is known for that are they really ? Lol this girl don’t kno what she is talking about.

Sami’s really worked on his intonation over time and clearly been hitting the gym too - good on you man

Jodi is so hip ... “ I just want to pump my jam” And those cool beer goggles, and that secret decoder ring!

Hahah , I thaught the interior of the Infiniti had an ugly lay out, I didn’t even see you guys discuss the RDX interior, not a good review autoguide !!!

the start stop works just press hard on the brakes, This guy is soooooooo anoying

"The Onion reviews cars". These two would be better on a parody site

I'm gonna apply to auto guide for a job coz it looks like the bar is set pretty low

Those aren't "trackpads" on the steering wheel. They would be called scroll wheels. I couldn't even make it through this entire review.

God this review was painful to watch. You guys can't seriously choose the Infiniti over the Acura. If this was a review of the Q50 vs the TLX I would definitely choose the Infiniti. But the QX50 is a peice of garbage. CVT transmission in a luxury car... that is unacceptable and just smells of cost cutting.

CVT????? Are you nuts in the luxury car!!!! Traditional Automatic much better

Nissan needs to keep CVT's to their line-up and not share it with their luxury division.

I think the new QX50 is the worst model to ever come out of Infiniti. Even the cheaper QX30 has better features than this. It’s got a 7 speed transmission at least. Why you guys were bashing the Acura so hard is an easy guess. Your bank accounts seen probably saw at least four digit growth if not even five.

Shameful ! Auto reviews should be unbiased without conflict of interest and not try to sell a car that over another, especially if it was inferior than the other! I've tried both and infiniti Q50 is a joke comparing to the RDX! It shouldn't even be in the same category!

I stopped watching this half way in. Either they want to bash Honda or got payed off. Disgusted

That was a total mess that has ever been concluded of all the years

5:00 100%, wrong settings. I work for a Honda dealer and there are 3 sensitivity settings for both Collision Mitigation and Road Departure. Narrow/Short is WAY too invasive. Normal is normal, and wide/long says almost nothing. To address the parking sensors though, they are intrusive. Same problem in the Accord. However, it's as simple as 1 button press if you're not parking to turn them off. It's to the left of the steering wheel clearly seen at 2:57 ; bottom row, 2nd button from right.

Don't mention that nav is basically standard with the RDX or that you have to pay almost 50k to get nav on the qx50. The screens are not even in the same era, Acura being super crisp. The interior updates being worth an additional 10k? I'd take a X3 or Q5 at that price

in Dec 2018, the RDX outsold the Qx50 two to one. I guess the average Joe consumer is smarter than these two.

The Lexus NX controlled this class in the US for 2016 and 2017, but was passed in sales last year by the RDX, Q5 and Mercedes GLC. The BMW X3 also sells about the same as the NX. I would call the RDX the best in class at this point, at least on paper.

When I first said these reviewers are a JOKERS,some of you said I’m a Lexus lover but now you see my point with these ridiculous “car enthusiasts”.

It seemed to me that these two people are very difficult to please with some specific (often very personal) expectations. I drive a Qx50 and I've found it to be perfect. But I loved what I saw with Acura RDX when I took a test drive. Didn't find anything problematic with the dash and screen operation while driving.

Just bought an rdx..fun to drive

Why not just drive without all those safety nannies If it's annoying? I drive just fine without all the cap. Maybe people are just depending too much on the nannies and don't have the skills anymore to drive.

I found this review to be fine but they did seem overly harsh on the RDX, there may be annoyances with it like the collision mitigation system but does it really ruin the car?

To possible buyers: go test drive all compact SUV. IDK what this 2 were talking about. Acura RDX's Transmission is really good, sound system with the ELS is superb, adaptive suspension is not comparable to the regular, sound deadening is top grade, etc. You name it. The RDX delivers. Go test drive it!

Id go acura cvts dont belong in luxury cars/suvs. There cheep and awful.

Thanks, both of these are off my list... pb

Hey Sami and Jodi, you’re wrong about the RDX’s trackpad, this is not Lexus! The trackpad is not used as scrolling with cursor just like it is on laptops, the trackpad is mapped one-to-one positioning, meaning wherever you touch on the trackpad is where you would touch on screen. For example, if you want to select the top left portion of the screen, then basically touch the top left portion of the touchpad. Just basically treat the trackpad as the touchscreen of the infotainment! Acura did this for the purpose to benchmark Lexus so that the trackpad is easy to use and takes less attention off the road as opposed to Lexus

Having test driven both and as an Infiniti owner, this is way off. The driving experience of the QX50 is a complete deal breaker. The engine / CVT are raspy, loud, and the car sounds like it is constantly working way too hard to do anything. The interior is copied and pasted from the Q50, until you get up to the Essential with the quilted leather. The Acura feels more roomy, is more comfortable, and drives much better. I'm not a big fan of the trackpad, but it took all of 5 minutes to get comfortable with and while not as easy as a touchscreen, is 1000x better than the Lexus floating mouse pad.

I’ve had my RDX A Spec for one week now. The drive is no comparison to the Q50 which I drove as well. Not sure what you are talking about, my safety systems rarely come on and I find the info system very easy to use after two days. Most of the functions that you will use on a daily basis are located on the steering wheel. Sport + makes a big difference in the drive. What’s wrong with having a little fun in a SUV.? You need to spend more time in that car.......

still choosing RDX 2019 .

Thats why you read a owners manual so you know what the buttons do.

I WANT TO SEE WHAT CRAIG COLE HAS TO SAY!!!!

Acura is way better in almost all aspects. There is nothing complex about understanding the interior controls if you actually spend 5 mins of your real time on it. These guys are either nuts or were paid by Infinity

I do like the exterior of the Infiniti, but the tech is dated. The two screens don’t even have the same resolution. But the deal breaker for me is the CVT, they just don’t have a good track record…

After watching complete review thank you I want to buy RDX 🤟

The Acura > Infiniti any day! What are they talking??

I have seen many car evaluations of these two cars even in other languages and this is the first time I heard many complaints about the RDX and too many compliments about the QX50. This video seems to be sponsored by the brand

I have the RDX and trackpad is very easy to use, not an issue for me at all. These reviewers are either exaggerating or legitimately too stupid to use a trackpad... And the start-stop only works when you turn off the AC/heater since it needs the engine to power the battery to power the AC... what a lousy review

got a 2017 qx50 no complaints at all. amazing vehicle and simple/ergonomic

Drove an Acura RDX A-Spec today all the features seemed easy to use not sure what they are talking about , car also drove amazing and has nice power for its class .

Regarding the brakes, you can pump the brakes to add pressure, and get a more responsive pedal.

Great video what color is the QX 50 it's nice looks like a light silver

So you are saying POS QX50 CVT transmission is better than RDX's 10 speed. Having driven both these vehicles myself, i can't even imagine how can one come to that conclusion

There both hot vehicles and I'd rather a geared transmission over a CVT, so I'd go with the RDX mainly for that reason, but I'd still rock thr Infiniti because its just all around better choice for the money and what you get. If it had a 7 or 8SP AT it would be the main choice

😂😂Break Break Break…My girl got a 2020 inifiniti qx50 and I also fell in love with it.. the screens aren’t as behind as most reviewers say plus the CarPlay helps!

I purchased a 2020 RDX Tec SHAWD about a month ago. The touch pad does take some practice so I spent a few hours on KZfaq getting information from the many videos and it is very easy to use once I figured it out. With the RDX you just turn off the beep and leave the warring lights on and you get the information you need and avoid all the noise. The Gas millage is about 1 mile per gallon better that they stated and what Acura advertises not too great at 24 over all. I did drive the Infinity Qx50 and was underwhelmed with the outdated 2 screens and the handling. The interior does seem a little nicer but; the seats are not as comfortable. The Infinity is a nice for millage because it is a little slower. Acura is 0-60 is 6.4 sec Infinity is 7.6 seconds. The sound system in the Infinity is far worse than the Acura. Here again the the driver needs to set up the sound to what you like (like the infotainment system. The Infinity is about $5000 more in the Minneapolis market. The extra money does get you better fuel economy that does sacrifice performance. Drive both and play around with them to see what works best.

the navigation takes about a day or 2 to get use to

Why are acura fans getting hurt? I dont own an rdx but a 2020 mdx and 2019 qx50. The mdx is more smooth and quiet but the qx50 is sporty. They good in their own ways

You didn't mention that in the Infiniti there was no Apple Car Play or Android Auto support. Kind of a big negative since most other vehicles already have it.

Crazy how expensive this rebranded crv and rogue are, i would choose the rdx not cuz its the better one maybe but because at least it has a normal auto trans not like th junk cvt and prototype vc engine

what's with the comments? the review is actually fairly accurate. I've driven both cars and I tend to agree with some of what they're saying. the lack of touch screen and brakes with no initial bite are two big negatives of the RDX. If you've really driven it, you will know what they're talking about. Didnt find the safety features too intrusive though. the QX50 is a more complete package. Again, if you have really driven these two cars, you'll have to agree with that as well. QX50 does have its own flaws, they said it too in the review. I had the biggest problem with the first 3 seconds of every accerleration of the QX50; the VC turbo and CVT are just not working perfectly, but once it gets going, it's actually quick. The RDX does have more sophisticated AWD system compared to QX50. and both have good audio systems - they should have mentioned the ELS studio of the RDX, as it even has speakers in the headliner. so i guess they just didn't say some of the good stuff of RDX. but overall, if i had to choose one, i'd choose QX50.

What happened here? The tone is so negative and already I want to skip this review just 2 minutes in. It's not a review but an explanation of their own personal taste. You lost touch of real consumers.

By the far the worse review. They couldn’t explain anything in depth. Why review a car when you don’t even know what the cars dynamic driving modes do.

This is such an interesting (-ve ly though) review. 2019 QX50 is still using grandfather’s infotainment system and you are saying it is amazing. I meant really... did you even see at the map how it’s look like! It’s still stuck at 2005 ... 😂😂 Acura 2019 driver’s assist system was never annoying to me. RDX is so much fun to drive... QX is like old uncle. 😂

Guys what about a video which safety features is better and what is what. They called different depending on auto company

Great review. I prefer V6 to these be 4 liter turbo. Mileage similar and V6 sound better and mileage same

The QX50 is a beautiful car. The exterior design and interior look great.

The TTI is so easy to use on my RDX A-Spec. It’s so intuitive just like a smart phone. Horrible review without knowing their shit. AcuraWatch can be disabled. Dynamic control is not a volume knob unless you can’t read. It placed in the middle for a reason or idiot proof which unfortunately did not work out for these two.
