2021 Acura RDX A-Spec Review | Punching above its class...

The RDX in its current form came in 2019. Two years later it's still a force to be reckoned with in its class. This RDX is truly paving the way for the future of Acura; the TLX, MDX, and upcoming small sedan. Let's dive into what makes this A Spec model so appealing...

It’s a beauty for sure Acura is making a comeback

Exterior LED lights on these have such a good design 👌🏽

I didn’t know you had a twin.

Very good review. I like this vehicle. Impressive. Lots of tech.

Great review. Acura hit a home run with this gen of the RDX. Styling is fantastic, inside and out. Performance is perfect for most. Honda reliability is great. Options are simply combined into 3 packages that make it easy to find the one you want on the lot. Terrific value. Just wish it had a touchscreen and full screen nav.

I like the real world review for acceleration for passing on the interstate, Kirk. I appreciate the honesty, good or bad.

6:42 I was not expecting that Hahahaha. Nice review Kirk!

I was in my local Acura dealer today test driving a CPO 2020 example of the RDX. GREAT vehicle and the salesman was extremely knowledgeable. Generally when I spend a week or two researching a car I go in and end up teaching salesman things. But he was clearly an old pro. I’ll definitely be purchasing one this year sometime

6:45 - lol! "I call little spoon" so funny! Love your channel! Thanks

[justSTUMBLEDupon]

Thank you for the night time shots. Truly don’t know why other reviewers don’t show the car at night ESPECIALLY when they have the car for a full week.

[lularoejennymcnealy]

just bought this car in black. it's a really good looking car inside and out and i am loving the drive too.

It’s no surprise that it’s the best selling suv for the first quarter of 2020 (with the NX trailing right behind the RDX) 2nd to the Lexus RX. Great review! 🙌🏻

[lforeman]

Nice review my friend, Lexus needs to step it up with the next NX. Acura is finally heading in the right direction.

I leased a blue A Spec with red/black leather 2 years ago. I get compliments from people all the time on the car. Initially the compliments were a little shocking being in NJ and accustomed to frequent cut-offs and the inappropriate hand gestures. I thought I was being punked at first by the nice comments. Most of the time I love the car. There are issues that test my patience (Frustrating Track pad interface and turbo/transmission delay) I think overall it is a home-run for Acura. They needed to step it up and the RDX appears to be the first of several statement vehicles from Acura. In the spring I'm going to lease the TLX Type S (my kids will have to suffer in the smallish back seat) - not sorry

[Slim]

Awesome video as always! I have seen a ton of the RDX on the road. Great vehicle

[dja]

Such a great review! Thumbs up...!!! I just bought my RDX A spec 2 weeks ago and loving every moment driving it. Way better than Lexus NX. Thanks Kirk!! Can't wait to watch your future videos!

I have this and actually love how they approached the touch pad. Once you realize how it works, it's way more usable while driving, takes less thinking than moving a cursor around. You just touch to relative to where you'd touch the screen, great design. Still sad that even the Advanced package doesn't have the power side mirrors unless you get the Canadian model for some weird reason.

[arob]

Nice review Kirk. I got the 2020 RDX ASpec (canadian version - has power folding mirrors, heated seats and steering wheel, spare tire, etc). I just looked up the elevation of Nebraska ~2600 ft, 7s 0-60 makes sense given its about a ~6.5s at sea level.

[ericschmitz]

Pano-sunroof is standard and the roof rattles are free. 10 speed tranny shifts A-LOT from (0 - 30 mph in city traffic). It's easy to get tired of the rattles, shifts, fake engine noise, fondness for limp mode and poor gas milage...And then there is resale/depreciation which is terrible due to problems since 2019...this coming from a Honda owner and fan-boy since 1990.

[UzumakiNaruto-xtfm]

Good review Kirk!! The RDX is shining and I can’t wait Acura release their flagship suv tomorrow

[SimornM]

My first time watching a review on your channel, good job Kirk!
