The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones, headphones are highly recommended!

Here's the equipment I use (with affiliate links):

Thanks for watching!

Acura's one of the few companies which hasn't replaced the whole front end with a massive grill and replaced every button with a screen. Meticulous, high quality detail is quite evident in the interior, despite an ever-so-slightly outdated design. Love this car though, and great review!

Have had this generation RDX model (2019) for almost 3 years now. Still love it. Never had a problem, not a squeak, solid as ever, and still a joy to drive. When I first got it, the competition (BMW, Lexus, Audi) were all 10K+ higher in price. Great value and great vehicle for the price.

These videos are so calming, yet informative.

I bought a ‘20 A-Spec last year and the audio system still blows me away when I get in the car. I always take the long way just to listen to another song.

Just got a black a-spec last week. Immensely happy with it. Sound system is easily one of the best I've ever heard

Honda/Acura does a great job of making their heavier vehicles feel light on their feet. They’ve managed to bring me back around to them with their latest batch of cars... good looks, nice interiors, pleasant to drive.

No idea why, but I love the sound of the turn signal in the new acuras!

I have an ‘19 RDX Base SH-AWD and it’s been an absolute joy to drive. Only minor complaint is the subpar mpg, but averaging 25 mpg is good enough for its HP

7:55 why did savagegeese’s channel pop up 😂

I love my acura so much I'm actually watching someone drive one online. I've peaked.

Great review. By far the best RDX review I've seen on Youtube. Intelligent, detailed feature and drive details. Thanks for the great work.

Love my '20 A-Spec SH-AWD. Nearly 28k on the odo. Hated the red gauges at night when I first got it - they hurt my eyes. I'm use to it. Enjoy the white on black gauges whenever I have a service loaner. The car is super fun to drive...love the engine sound. Almost reminds me of a Subaru (the sound)

[jameso]

its so trippy watching these videos. i never realized that you were from Michigan until now. love the videos

[lamortable]

This guy makes me wanna buy every car he drives

Another great video by, "The Topher". This guy has a great voice for making videos like this. Beautiful RDX too!

[ontarioman]

The cx 5 has very good steering, cannot be beaten for the money

Awesome review!! my only two complaints on the new RDX would be no wireless charging and more ambient lighting other than that they did an amazing job on the vehicle.

Love this RDX. Have had this generation as loaners and they're comfortable yet fun CUV's. I'm looking to upgrade to a TLX Type S from my TLX ASPEC early next year but if I was looking for an SUV the RDX would definitely be the one.
