Very good review.

A few notes: The platinum elite package increases the sound deadening. Lower models are not as quiet. Availability at this time is poor. Two month wait at a minimum. After March 31, Acura will increase their prices across the board by $1100, most likely due to high demand. I was really looking at one, but availability and pricing were a concern.

Good review. Smooth and enjoyable.

I love this. Gorgeous vehicle.

That excellent doggo takes the review to 11!

Great review. Does it drift?

Only flaw would be fuel economy

I recently traded my 2019 Aspec for a 2023 Elite Aspec. Smoother ride, more quiet . Looking at replacing the Goodyear RSA for Pirellis or Michelin all weather tires...

Why doesn't this one have Sport+ Dynamic mode?

What was the color of the exterior color?

Poor MPG, no touchscreen.

The 2022 base RDX is by far the best value in this segment. Pros: Great sporty design, large cabin and cargo space, comes loaded (panoramic sunroof, heated seats, heated steering wheel, wireless apple carplay/android auto ect..., much cheaper than anything else with similar options (12k cheaper than Lexus NX), great SH AWD, 272 hp, great resale. Cons: ride is a bit stiff The trackpad is also not a con in my opinion. I prefer it over a touch screen where you get finger prints everywhere. I wish they had a control wheel like BMW but it's not a deal breaker. Best thing to do is go take one out for a test drive and decide for yourself. You won't find anything close to this for the money. If money is not a factor then the BMW M40i would be the best option. It's way faster and fun to drive with similar dimensions and a better infotainment system than the RDX but is also 25k more.

I own a 2019 RDX. It took me months to get a feel for the vehicle. It's an excellent performer & handler, BUT ... None of the factory automatic shift modes are acceptable. The 10 speed trans is always a gear behind, & too low, leaving the engine lugging at low RPM, & bogging & surging its way through corners, due to awful electronic throttle lag. The only acceptable shifting mode I can tolerate is the Sport+ Sport Manual mode. It's the only healthy-for-the-engine way to drive the vehicle. I put a performance exhaust on my RDX to break the silence, & add some tactile feedback to the driving experience. This played havoc with the audio system's interior sound cancelling, so I had to unplug it (behind the kick panel by the driver's right calf). This gave me the kind of feed back I craved, & revealed how bad the factory shift modes were for the engine. It's obvious they are heavily biased towards MPG, not performance. As I said before, the sport manual mode is the only one I now use. I owned my last vehicle (Honda Element Manual 5 speed) for 15 years, so I was interested to see how all the driver-assist technology, ubiquitous on modern vehicles, worked. What a disappointment. For the most part they are awful on the RDX. I turn them off, & you would think that that would be the end of my frustration, but no. The vehicle refuses to remember my settings. Every time I start up, I have to go through a pre-flight checklist. This is my every startup checklist: Turn the seat heaters off, by pecking 2 to 6 times at the dash. They turn themselves on, whether I want them or not. Push & hold the stability control, until it beeps, to turn it off, & keep the throttle from becoming unresponsive. Push the idol shut down button, no hold, no beep. Push the drive button twice, to select sport mode, and then the downshift paddle, to select manual shift mode. I have to repeat this step after every reverse as well. Long sigh, and now I'm ready to go. Stop at the corner store, & I get to do it all again, another deep long sigh. In the first couple of weeks of ownership both the collision avoidance & the auto adjusting cruse control took turns trying to get me rear ended. At least they stay off, & don't turn themselves back on, after every startup. The rain sensing wipers never quite wipe often enough or not as often as desired. All that said, I would be in love with this vehicle, if it had a clutch peddle, & the manual out of the Honda Civic Type-R, & I could get rid of all the automatic "intelligent driver assist" electronic crap.

Awful fuel economy. Dull boring design. Massive turning radius. Trackpad sucks. Bumpy ride. Old display. Dated technology. Awesome quality. Reliable. Good resale value. Excellent storage space. Terrific handling. 5/10. Lexus 350h $4,000 less expensive and saves $2,000 per year in fuel costs. Consumer recommendation: Lexus 350h Premium. ✅

Look , its a CRV on steroids......
