    I have had my 2019 RDX for 8 months and love it. I chose the “Advance” trim over the “A-spec” because it gave me HUD display and adaptive dampers. Also preferred the wheels and the interior with the wood trim.

    Thank you for the review! I recently bought the 2020 RDX based on this review! My other choice would have been the Tesla model 3. The RDX just hits every box that we were looking for in a vehicle especially with a kid on the way! I tried to convince the wife on red seats like you suggested, but got denied! One thing no one has mentioned in any reviews is that at nighttime, when the LEDs are shining, the alcantara holes give off a glittery shine which is a really classy!

    I don't normally find crossovers attractive, but... The RDX A-spec is seriously one attractive crossover. Probably one of the best looking if I'm being honest. I love the direction Acura is heading in, and with a teaser of a Type S concept being brought to Monterey in a few weeks, it's seriously looking promising after some pretty blah years. If I didn't have a Type R? I would probably consider this, not going to lie. It probably would do everything I need.

    I test drove the A Spec and it was honestly fantastic. Power was very, very smooth and body motions were well controlled. We were planning on buying one but decided against it after reading many owner reviews complaining about transmission issues (mostly to do with rough shifts and sudden power on 1st gear) and infotainment glitches. It's a real shame because it really made a memorable first impression.

    A nice review! Some things I noticed: - Acura’s sales have been declining and the brand kind of lost its self. However, last year their leadership admitted the performance aspect of Acura was lost. So the return of the Type S is returning (possibly the RDX but more likely the TLX and MDX). He also stated moving forward: if it feels like metal or looks like metal- it is. Quality is supposed to be better moving forward. - the “Advance Package” is the highest trim. - SH-AWD isn’t technically new. Yes it did return, however the first generation was a turbo SH-AWD. It’s funny because Acura was ahead of the pack the first time. - The RDX is a great deal and is a great vehicle. Good review though. Sorry if it seems I’m picky, just a fan of Acura and owner of a RDX and TL.

    I did a test drive on the RDX 2 months ago when I was doing my car shopping but went on a different direction got a sport sedan instead (different brand)....its a very nice SUV, liked the performance power delivery. The only zonk for me is the infotainment system a little bit of laggy compared to the other premium brands.

    Sorry have a 2017 and love the stick shift not the push button dial and when you spill your drink on the little pad what is the cost of repair on that, I’m sure it will be in the large hundreds if not a thousand plus. Also like the V-6 versus the twin turbo 4, cost to repair in 7-9 years will make the car a junk yard candidate. The electronics in cars these days is over the top that will be a major money maker for the dealer/manufacturer.

Besides, I think the RAV4 is a better value since it’s cheaper and it’s fuel economy makes it a big deal for me. If you want one get on the waiting list since a lot of people are waiting for theirs, a few of my friends have been waiting over 1-2 months now for the car. It definitely is worth the wait!
