My 2020 RDX Tech Package SH-AWD is probably my favorite car I’ve ever owned (I’m 70 years old). REALLY fun to drive, good acceleration, solid predictable handling, GREAT in the snow especially when fitted with snow tires. Fuel economy is ok, not super but if I can keep the speed down and my foot out of the boost, I can SQUEEZE it to get 29-30 mpg on a highway road trip. Roomy interior, very comfortable seats good visibility. My only complaints is a fair amount of road noise (my 2024 Ridgeline is quieter) and rattles in the cargo area. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. 👍👍

I can't get enough of my 2023 RDX A-Spec... what an amazing experience to drive this Acura, it's a compact SUV that thinks its a sports car!

[babysunn]

2022 Lighting is AMAZING, Especially That High Beam Spotlight. 👍🏽👍🏽❗️

[johnsonluk]

Also check for creaking noise from the lower control arms in cold weather on the 2019 to 2020 models. Noise only happens in cold weather.

[IndependenceCityMotoring]

What about the fuel dilution of the oil in those 4 cylinder engines?

My MIJ Acura TSX 6 Spd, 116K still bringing smiles since March 2004. Acura badge is always 1st on my shopping list. This could work for me with the 2025 refresh. So many recalls from everyone gives me pause. I'd like to pick up a pair of those Oakley specs but can't tell what they are?

[Sigma-nu]

What I like is there’s not much of a difference in looks in and out between 2019-24😊. Unlike Lexus NX

[micku]

Forgot to mention Audio system problem with MOST network FAKRA connector or harness for RDX

Pls do a video on used Acura MDX latest gen!

I enjoyed watching your video on the acura rdx every things you mentioned it 100% true I owned a 2021 I love my acura but I expected a much better profarmance I was hoping acura would come out with a type-s RDX with more horse power and higher torque at lower RPM. Look at. Mazda cx50/cx5 turbo or lexus nx350 as 317/ 320 foot pound of torque.i am thinking of replacing my RDX with lexus NX350 or mazda I will do my test drive first your comments stay safe.

I'm not a fan of the 4 cyl turbo. that's why i bough the last year of the v6. love my 2018 rdx.

[benhaze]

Great, great information here. But I absolutely would avoid the first couple of years of this generation; there are serious potential very costly issues and headaches. Also how about transmission issues? They were notorious too, so much so it jeopardized seriously Acura's reputation.

[Jojoba-wzri]

Looking around for our second vehicle and we like the RDX, but 22 MPG IS SUPER UNACCEPTABLE. All the reviews we’ve seen has people saying 22 real world. 😭

[michaelnyden]

I would buy the RDX but they need to go to touchscreen and start listening to their customers and reviewers who have been saying to make this simple change for years now!

Also their ten speed doesn't improve fuel economy! It has same mpg as much more powerful and heavier x3 m40i in real world testing!

[JamesKeturakis]

The RDX just needs a V6 and no turbo. More people would buy instead of lease.

Absolute junk do not buy Acura my wife’s 2019 Acura RDX just had the brakes fail while driving. Towed it to the dealership has a defective electronic brake booster just out of warranty. They want us to pay $3000 for this problem that should never have occurred.

[saabreplay]

Heck no . Just a Honda product that will break after a few years. Transmission will blow up. Total pile
