@@richardernsberger5692 These days, any company is capable of building to any quality level in any factory and in any country. It's all a matter of the quality and training the company wants to invest in their people and their product. Acura builds their NSX engines - production and competition - in Ohio. VW builds their GTIs for Western Hemisphere in Mexico. My 2016 GTI has had exactly zero defects, flaws, or any other issues except a factory recall that's not function of build location.

Honda/Acura really stepped their game up. Unfortunately with such great aesthetics and technology I can no longer justifiably afford lol.

I like the way both basics and details are included, despite keeping a 5-car overview at 20 minutes. There were details I don't think I would have noticed in a test-drive. Thanks for a valuable comparison and highlighting that there is actually no "best in class".

Got to sit in RDX A-spec, Q5, and X3 at the L.A Auto Show this weekend. and i have got to say the RDX was my favorite of the 3. That Center console, which looks to be pulled out of the NSX (which i also got to sit in) looks amazing!

The RDX to me is the best value for the money. I noticed that Roman didn't say anything about the acceleration or performance of the RDX???

I just bought an RDX yesterday and so far I really like it. Very roomy interior, very good throaty (although artificially enhanced) sounding acceleration, excellent Sound system! The brake pedal feels a bit ‘undefined’ but you’ll get used to it quickly. Overall very happy with the purchase, also looked at the Audi Q5&3, MB GLC, BMW X3 & Volvo XC60. While my personal favorite was actually the redesigned Audi Q3 my wife wanted the RDX since we already have one Audi and she doesn’t like some of the annoying beeps and weird behavior of the Audi.

Very beautiful interior, engine noise is a little noticeable during acceleration compared to my Audi, and gear shifting is slightly noticeable but not a deal killer. But for the price point I was pleasantly surprised (even though I had to pay almost msrp given the times we are in) at what was in the rdx package. I have watched several videos on utilizing the dash components and took care of the garage opener without problem. My sales person was excellent.

Incredibly nice comparison and informative video, love it. Thank you.

There's something ironic about Roman criticizing the gear shift operation in the RDX as "not intuitive". This channel (Nathan and Roman) has been whining about Honda/Acura's move to button-controlled gearshifting for awhile now. Would they hop in a Ferrari and dare say the same thing? Of course not. And what is "intuitive" about gearshifting? The act of gearshifting has evolved over decades. It used to be "intuitive" to grab a stalk sticking out from the steering column, pull towards yourself, and shift gears. Then it evolved to the floor-mounted shifter and those became "intuitive". Now, Mercedes has gone mostly to the steering-column mounted electronic shifter again, but Roman didn't criticize this for being "non-intuitive". Nor did he criticize BMW's or Audi's gearshifters from not going through the usual physical detents that used to be "intuitive". The point is, gear shifting using a gear shift knob only became intuitive because it was prevalent and the technology for a while. Technology has advanced and now there are various different ways to shift gears.

Lots of valid complaints about this review. I'll add mine. Value was not mentioned at all. And, value is an important factor for most people who are not married to a particular brand. Dollar for Dollar you get far more vehicle with the RDX.

I don’t usually like your reviews, but this one was really well done. Awesome! Good job! Thank you for the information.

I thought the entire review was great right up until the moment there were no comments on the acceleration of the RDX. For all of the other cars you said "let's give it the beans", then you commented on performance and smoothness of the acceleration. For the RDX it appeared the video was edited and your comments about acceleration were cut out?? Were you disappointed? How could that be cut out of the video???

Reliability + Resale + Practicality : RDX > ALL others mentioned

The GLC300 is a beautiful vehicle that drives well and a pleasure to drive, especially since it's extremely smooth and reliable.

I just test drove all of those cars except the RDX and wound up leasing a RWD GLC 300. It sends 100% of the power to the rear wheels 100% of the time, and weighs nearly 300 Lbs less than the AWD version. When I turn in and give it the beans - I feel that satisfying polar moment of inertia - that you only get with a rear drive vehicle having a longitudinally oriented engine. It's actually kind of an old school configuration which I prefer. Btw, the interior and that Burmester Audio are amazing.

I test drove the Volvo, Mercedes and BMW and ended up buying the 2019 BMW M Sport package. can say that I am extremely happy with my choice. I think in my opinion the volvo's technology package is better then every SUV out there currently. the BMW drives the best if your looking for sport. the Volvo is the most comfortable ride but def not as sporty. The Mercedes GLC 300 will probably end up being the best when they update the technology package to match the GLE and higher models. Thats the only thing that kept me from buying the Mercedes. only complaint about the BMW X3 is it doesn't offer remote start unless you upgrade to an X5 or higher models.

BMW shifting makes the most sense which is why I think Camaros shift the same way. During acceleration, the driver is pulled back; hence to upshift you pull since you're pulled by the car. In contrast, while braking, the driver is pushed forward, so downshifting by pushing the lever forward makes sense. I test drove the X3 for a day and that experience steered me away from it. Current X5 and 3 series owner.

Kind of sad you dont know why the shifter is setup that way when you review cars. BMW is a sporty car. The shifter is setup like a sequential race gear. When you come to a corner and brake, you downshift by pushing forward like everything else in the car. When you accelerate you pull back on the shifter.. That way you are following the the way the weight is moving. This absolutely the best setup.. I had a VW and is just felt so weird having to push the shifter forward in manual mode during acceleration.

Excellent review.

according to off roading, which one is the best ?

The audi comes standard with a lot of things that would normally be paid options, so you can easily keep the price down while retaining the “goodies”

I am surprised that Acura did not include Lexus for comparison !

@@normt430 I see you complaining about the Acura rdx on every single rdx video. Linking the forums and saying "so many problems". While the forums will have an obvious bias of individuals complaining rather than praising. A lot of the problems are very superficial and often times get fixed. Secondly.. they represent less than 1% of the rdx owners. I dont see forums dedicated to complain about BMW, audi etc. But im sure if there was you'd see the same small % saying the same things. No car is perfect. Every car will have problems and what not, especially with noise and rattling. The difference is, the Acura is cheaper to maintain and fix these problems.

that blue Aspec RDX makes the other look like grandpa snooze mobiles. i went to see the new RDX at the dealer with my wife this past weekend and i left very impressed with the RDX.

does he not realise that in a normal car you also pull it back to go forward and then forwards to go backwards?

Roman you did skip how you feel about acceleration on RDX (the biggest horse power), cause it sucks ?

I have a c class and I’ve never used the touchpad, my dad has an s class and barely uses the touchpad. My mom has the RDX and the infotainment system is just ok, a little laggy at times. But she got it a month after it came out

Love the video .... no bs .... great info .... no brand favoritism and what favorite items each brand should have. Real exhaust tips, Real exhaust note, Real intuitive technology interface. Driving should be a cathartic release of mundane interactions & daily tediums .... nobody wants to fight with the infotainment or question which gear is selected .... hop in, turn key, drop it in drive & hit play

Why didn't you comment on the Acura shifting? Interior? Infotainment? You seemed to go much more in depth with the other vehicles. Holding back?

The whole point of Acura's spending money on this trip for you is not to let you earn money or to give you a little vacation. They paid for a REVIEW. Skimp on competitor reviews and review Acura, since they paid for it.

Where was this video recorded Colorado?

Love the good,bad and the weird breakdown

Acura seems to be in love with interior buttons and dials, I felt like I was on the Millennium Falcon.

funny how Acura gives them a blue car that pops in their "A-Spec" trim while neither the Audi nor BMW are in their respective M Sport and S-Line trims in boring gray/black colors. they also left out the Lexus NX and Cadillac XT5.

Good review..
