Is the 2021 Acura RDX A-Spec the BEST compact luxury sport SUV to BUY?

The RDX is part of a major shift in Acura's lineup. Under the hood is a detuned Civic Type R 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 that is 272HP & mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Getting power to the ground is Acura's SUPER HANDLING AWD that give great power with control. The A-Spec trim brings unique wheels, front grill, black accent trim and special badges. On the inside you get beautiful leather and Alcantara seating, thick rimmed steering wheel, and lots of premium touches. Is the 2021 Acura RDX SH-AWD A-Spec the BEST luxury sport SUV to BUY?

This is one of the most aggressive SUV’s I have seen. I like it.

I think the way joe tells you how many twinkies you can fit in the storage areas is THE BEST. No other youtuber can compete.

You are becoming one of my favorite car reviewer atleast you ain't one of the one whose so obsessed about German cars.

Joe, if you pop the back floor open in the trunk all the way, there's another deep cubby you missed. You could add another 4 Lay's bags back there. 😄

*Acura needs an A SPEC Advance, I would like Advance features with A Spec styling*

I just got the 2021 Acura RDX advance a couple months ago. LOVE IT

Joe thank you so much for your reviews. Without your reviews, I would never know what car would be the best at hauling twinkies, slim Jim’s, and all sorts of snacks. This will be the benchmark I use when I go car shopping, snack storage capabilities. 👍🏼

My co-worker just bought it. This Suv is amazing, I like how it would when you are in sport mode. Acura did great job this year, hope MDX and the TLX typeS gonna coming soon.

I bought a 2021 Advance (coming from a 2014 Infiniti Q50 sport). The RDX is awesome. Its quick, it handles great, SH-AWD is awesome, its super comfortable. But low key the best feature is if you have three kids... the middle row floor is completely flat. This is unique in this segment (other than MAYBE Lexus). We looked at the XC-60 and Q5 and the drivetrain hump in the middle makes them practically 4-seaters, which is the issue I had with my Q50. We literally couldn't take my family of 5 any farther than a 10 minute drive in that car and it would have been the same in the majority of mid-compact luxury SUVs. Yeah, I could have gotten a RAV-4 or CRV and they would have had flat 2nd rows but not the same. Props to Honda/Acura for making such a nice, comfortable, sporty vehicle that is still ultra practical.

Non touching screen is not just about safty and concentrating on road, it's also keeping sceen cleaning from finger prints.

[queenahill]

Awesome!!! It would be great to see these test drives take place in ❄️ Snow.

[cryptopimp]

I'm only here to find out how many butterfingers I can fit in the hidden compartments . Jk I'm here for the amazing content! Cant wait until you get into the new MDX.

[mariae.santiago]

I love this vehicle! However you forgot to mention the overhead functionality. I know the 360 sunroof was a wow factor, but I would have enjoyed knowing what other goodies were in the overhead panel.

Thanks for all the reviews. I was convinced to get the ‘21 RDX A-Spec AWD after watching this one. Thanks buddy.
