Hi Tedward, I just wanted to say thank you for all the videos. I started learning to drive (UK) a few months ago and passed a few weeks ago. Initially I didn't know anything at all about cars/how they work or have any interest. Thanks to your videos/personality along with some others to develop my technical understanding more (although I still do struggle) I'm now much more interested in cars. I started to enjoy driving which is why I passed. Although I can't afford to start driving at the moment (2nd hand car prices are crazy), your videos keep me excited for when I eventually might! Keep up the great work and take it easy 👍🤗.

@@user-ir4ze3hx9d I was thinking of buying a Ford fiesta I found with good mileage and condition, but it's an 07 plate. I was wondering what your opinion might be on getting an older car like that? Any older are really far out of my current savings as I've been supporting my grandparent's. Thanks if you have any advice and I hope you enjoy driving and stay safe

This looks like a totally different car on the interior at night, wow

I’ve got one of these. It’s a 2021 model with a lot of accessories. It’s a White A-Spec with the SH-AWD Package, Red Interior, Step Rails, Cross Bars, bunch of cargo accessories for the trunk, floor mats with the A-Spec logo on them and a bunch of other accessories on it. Just did a 2,000 mile road trip from California to Illinois and the car did great. It has a respectable amount of power considering it’s an SUV with only a 4 cylinder. It’s a great car, only complaint is the tiny gas tank and terrible gas mileage. I love the SH-AWD, experiencing it first hand and just feeling how responsive and how good it takes corners is amazing. If anyone watching this is in the market for a fun, sporty, practical SUV and is willing to put some good money into it (you’ll be looking at about 45-50k if you want the A-Spec) I’d definitely recommend the RDX. It’s a great car, just know you will be filling it up a lot. The gas mileage tbh is embarrassing to say the least. It’s got a pretty small tank because these days it’s all about the weight. You will usually get about 350 miles out of each full tank and especially with the SH-AWD you get pretty disappointing gas mileage as all wheel drive means more power being sent to each wheel. I also had a front wheel drive RDX A-Spec before my current SHAWD A-Spec and the FWD one still was disappointing with gas but did not go through gas as fast as the all wheel drive car. But honestly, besides the gas, it really is a great car and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun to drive SUV.

I drive a 2023 RDX Advance and loving it. I especially find that generally using the heads up control as a virtual hood guid aides me in better positive steering keeping my entire car in the middle of my lane so that my lane warning system seldom comes on. The back up camera is priceless. Cheers

Love these types of videos please do more 👍

Greeting Tedward I just wanted to say I really enjoy these night drives, keep up the great work 💪🏾

The interior of this is better than I thought these were 😍

Really good car! It's been aging real nice. Type S treatment would make this car complete!

Thanks for making this video at night, you can't test drive cars at night or see them unless you sale person is willing to be there after hours. I drove a Mazda this past week and I really liked it, the headlights were amazing, and at night it's awesome with really good sound. But it's still a Mazda at the end of the day. I have been cross shopping this, X3 M340i, or macan and it's really hard to figure a balance. Acuras are just amazing daily drivers and you can give them hell and they will still love you, but not sure on bmw or Porsche.

I simply love this car. Give it a touch screen and it is completed. It sounds like a bull when pressing the gas pedal, I love the sound :D

Love these cars! I own a FWD 2011 myself and it’s great. Would love to get a chance to drive one of the newer models

Please do more of these night drives!

I'm somewhat of a new driver and I've started watching your videos about a week ago. Like one of the previous commenters, I didn't know a lot about cars but these POV drives are always so interesting to me and I'm not sure why lol. Keep up the good work. Now I'm looking for a car of my own. Hoping to find something modernish under 20k if I'm lucky but I know I'm likely gonna be settling for something more around the 12k range 😂

Definitely looking at different cars now. Looking at the BMW X5 xdrive40i for it's mpg. The X3 m40i get insane mpg as well. Acura RDX mpg isn't too good compared to it's competitors, but the Germans are much more expensive.

I really think they’ve done well with this iteration. The 2nd gen was somewhat lackluster. Would love an A-Spec someday. For now, our ‘09 is still going strong (with 215k on the clock).

Headlights on this vehicle are fantastic.

I think what you find is that with android/apple carplay, that turns on and you're almost never using the screen anyway. This is my experience with a lesser honda with the touchscreen. I really cant even think of when I use the touchscreen at all. I think maybe when I messed with options, or maintenance minder stuff. I think the touchpad would be fine in that context.

Totally love the car. It’s great. If they could just get rid of the button gear selector and the track pad, then we’re talking.

All green lights, “that’s the ticket” :)

Does it have the ambient interior lighting like the TLX?

Yo Tedward, what's your opinion about the tailight as a blinker? In Australia we use the yellow blinker which I think is easier to see, and everytime I see the red blinker it just seems weird to me. Loved the video! Those red gauges give me Type R vibes

2016 has a J series v6.

They are going to have to put wider tires on the Type S or people will kill themselves. The 2.0 turbo is plenty quick. On a curvy road, not many non sports cars can keep up with this.

Might be hated for this; but... why buy one of these over an Audi SQ3, BMW X3M40i or other German competitors?

Can’t compare it to those.. those are at least 20 grand more than this. If you are looking at base engine versions then it’s comparable but the RDX wins in standard features reliability overall value
