Acura RDX Review | 2007-2012 | 1st Gen

In this video I review a 2009 Acura RDX equipped with the Tech Package which is the first generation model of the RDX sold from 2007 to 2012. The RDX is a compact luxury crossover vehicle based on the Honda CRV but offers a premium style, high level of luxury and tech features and a sporty 2.3L 4clinder turbo with an available SH-AWD system.

Hell yes!

I have a 2007 RDX with 316K miles on the original engine, transmission and turbo!

Anyone thinking of buying a used RDX should research the common and very expensive problem of the wastegate boost loss, throwing a "P2263 Check Emissions" code. Once it does you will end up having to replace the entire turbo around 90k-150k miles at a cost of 5k-$10k depending on if you use Honda or an off market turbo. It's a $7 piece that gets out of round on the wastegate, that renders the car limp and will not pass an emissions test, and the only fix is to replace the entire turbo. I've owned 3 RDXs and will never buy another after finding out the hard way.

It’s gonna be a good weekend. Pandemic lockdown in Ontario but we can binge watch a bunch of Mike C videos. Can’t wait to see a review of a Toyota Matrix one day!

Love this suv mine is 350k miles now still going strong

[JoseDiaz-qkek]

powerful engine with the turbo. they should of made it available in the mdx. especially since it would be easy to service and no timing belt

[David_Watts]

VERY good review... very comprehensive and to the point without being boring. Such a great vehicle, so too bad about the one major handicap; fuel economy. 👍👍

I really really really want one. These are such beautiful SUVs. And imo this really is an SUV. Now, granted, it's not the cool boxy SUVs from back in the day. But this isn't a gross super round design. It has the curves in the right places, that nice turbo charged 2.4 K series. Hell I don't think any of the other Hondas/Acura came with this particular configuration. I love it

2009 RDX, 230k & still very enjoyable, tight, reliable, Solid. But just got a flickering Headlight issue then out, Possible Ballast issue? Anyone? I hear these can be a pain to replace a bulb even. Thats my only compliant. although if I have to take off the bumper cover to replace it, then its a big Pain

2011 RDX fwd with Helo 18” wheels. I can get up to 28 mpg but 24-25 is normal. My 2007 shAwd was tough to get 23 mpg

[djlexington]

I had one bur i think it was a lemon. Turbo was shot. I'm looking at another about 8k 130kmiles. I loved it, i fully believe it was just the turbo that was shot.

[bromajik]

This Suv is unreal way ahead of it time

I have 2008 RDX. I bought it 2 year old and I drive it for 12 years. 370K on it. Love it in general. All Pros are in the video. Cons are: bad on gas, air conditioner compressor got changed 3 times, turbo gasket gave me a huge problem once. But I put regular in it all the time before and after and it's fine. Also multiple interior "leather" parts needed to be changed or repaired. Noone can figure out the reason of battery drain for years, even though I have bluetooth disconnected. Voice recognition is a joke. Audio system makes some buzzy sound. Too hard to figure out some street names on the Navi.

Thanks for the video! looking at one with 150k km

[JolliAllGenGamer]

Had an 2007 RDX got rid of it in 2018 because it had issues at 153, 000 miles after buying it used at a Toyota dealer at 80, 000 miles in 2011. A/C stopped working, battery drain that was never solved by 2 Acura dealers, which caused the RDX to have no battery after a few days if you didn't use it. Pretty disappointed considering I had a TSX and 2 Honda Accords before this. I do miss the turbo engine.

[rceljosec]

[tgvcfr]
