[@benjaminmoskowitz422]

Love this Review. Both of you do a great job

[@CarConfections]

Thanks so much!! Glad you liked it!

[@NanuNaikNanuNaik]

Benjamin Moskowitz hi

[@NanuNaikNanuNaik]

Hi

[@10469]

Bought the 2019 for my wife as a Christmas present 🎁.. she still loves it today.

[@cloudyseattle]

I just bought one. It's truly in a class by itself. I was headed in a different direction until I happened to get in one at the dealer.

[@CarConfections]

Congrats!

[@liemnguyen2726]

What trim do you have? How is the price for Tech trim

[@andrewdunkle617]

Just bought one as well. Was looking at an Audi Q5 but after seeing the RDX at a car show it was the clear winner. Got the advance trim and love it!

[@MrMegatron85]

Planning on buying one of these, so I'm in that phase of watching every review I can find. This is the best review out there. You literally cover EVERYTHING. Thank you

[@CarConfections]

Glad to hear that! Thanks! Good luck with your purchase!

[@mrxyz2k]

If your had bought the RDX, would you please describe your experience with it, with mention year and trim.

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan]

Four years ago today! Still my dream SUV!

[@HippoReacts]

Not to mention that just a few upgrades and you're pushing 400+AWHP!

[@chevyfan8428]

10:50 that's a nice greeting after closing the door. Really impressed with the car! And you did a good review!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! We were impressed as well!

[@andyb8005]

Don’t be concerned about the track pad. Within a few minutes, it feels completely natural. Great car!

[@thvtsjordy2716]

Basically today was a dream. Me and my mom went to the Acura Dealer near where we live but sadly they didn't have them in the showroom. A guy opened the front door for us and welcomed us and asked "what are you looking for?" My mom said- "The 2019 Acura RDX" so the salesperson said follow me. He took us to a RDX that he had the key for and told us all the features and everything. Next is the test drive. Holy cow. The salesperson put it into Sport+ mode and we went so fast! There was a a road with a red light and we were so thrilled that my mom almost hit the truck in front of us but the car helped the brakes also! I had a great experience! My mom looks forward to buying it! Also sorry for such a long comment.

[@CarConfections]

Congrats!! Hopefully you guys end up getting it! It's a great car!

[@MoNoK15]

Courtesy Acura should pay you cause you just made some sales for them. Great review 👍 The interior is 🔥🔥🔥

[@CarConfections]

Haha thanks!

[@ranjit3o]

As usual..one of the best reviews with exact detail what consumers wants to know before decide to buy one..thanks

[@CarConfections]

Fantastic! Thanks for watching!

[@kvrwilly]

I bought this car because of this review and I don’t regret it a bit!

[@CarConfections]

Congrats! Glad we could help

[@LeeVideo]

Nice review with no distracting music, please add driving on you future review as acceleration and road noise/quietness are very important features when buying a car too. Thx

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! We actually have already added the drive component to our current videos! Merry Christmas!

[@melvin5818]

The dynamic button dial rotary is center and big for something you won't use that often.

[@Pokeunlock-Pokedex]

Best review on youtube.. Thank you for your time.

[@CarConfections]

We appreciate that!

[@franzwetrfres2116]

Best channel man, keep it up

[@CarConfections]

Thanks so much!! We appreciate that!

[@JJFN-zm3ky]

Is it expensive to maintain, I’m debating between this or Mazda cx5..

[@kathrynliu74]

Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge... great help 👍🏻

[@CarConfections]

Great! Glad you enjoyed!

[@johnyi1994]

Keep up the fantastic reviews!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@BaileyLAK]

Your guys' reviews are my favorite. Very thorough and articulate.

[@CarConfections]

We appreciate that, Mike!

[@japice1]

The review is very good. I would have liked to see a little more on the navigation system such as 3 D maps and a little on Apple car play. I cannot understand why the remote start is an accessory on this year's model. It seems like a lot of money to pay $400 to get it when it's already built in the car electronically and all you need to do is get a different key FOB. Maybe the dealers will throw that in to make the sale.Hope so.

[@-Harambe]

Do you know what is the small latch to the right of the trunk open latch?

[@bennettvu957]

Love everything about this car except the rear end

[@jackveech4941]

Bennett Vu I agree. The front end looks aggressive, while the rear looks a lot less aggressive. It has grown on me, though.

[@happyisblue]

I want the the new RDX in Type S form with twin turbo V6. I heard Acura is making the engine. I'm hoping this car will get it

[@mikem.2688]

Great review. Very informative!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@ruzzelladrian907]

The handling is a big selling point.

[@bonniebell2050]

What a beauty..Great review..Luv ur voice..Plainly spoken..I can't choose between Acura r Lexus..Both r beauties..

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@adasmith7141]

You are the best !! Awesome review 🙌🙌

[@CarConfections]

Glad you liked it!!

[@sophialovesmonsterhigh]

And it shows what I would wonder about so it makes a lot easier for me!

[@-Harambe]

Amazing insightful review. Thanks a lot.

[@romanwalczak7748]

i cant wait to get my aspec next year

[@marcianoperez6640]

I like the lexus bag

[@pyongcho]

I’m considering Honda CR-V, VW Tiguan, and Acura RDX. Which one wins for you for a busy mom driving kids around and for work? (Currently owns 2012 Crv）One thing has stopped me to take action is the choice of gasoline type. want to ask people who purchased a Rdx, do you use regular or premium gas? What’s going to make a difference if I use regular gas? thanks!

[@brucec43]

A great value in lower trim, but not nearly what it can be at that price. SH-AWD is a must-have for drivers, and you want better wheels. Might as well go A-Spec. Which means $49,000 with taxes and fees.

[@teeduck]

And how much are the competitors? Audi Q5, BMW. I’d get the Acura for reliability alone and it holding its value. Try sellin your 6 year old Audi or Bimmer.

[@slump45]

The a-spec and advance come with a 16 speaker system while the technology comes with a 12 and the base has 9

[@randomrazr]

man all these manufacturers are ditching the reliable V6

[@sophialovesmonsterhigh]

My mom got that car and I think we can all agree it’s pretty cool lol

[@eddygordo3736]

Great review ❤️

[@CarConfections]

:)

[@ravgill6156]

The A-Spec also has the heated steering wheel Oh and Canada models come with the remote start on the fob but only a 3-month trial of the full features of the app

[@bigwilliearmitage]

My us spec brochure doesn't show heated steering wheel for a spec

[@SkippyPB.]

Does the glass of the moonroof open up for ventilation?

[@CarConfections]

Yes, the front part fully opens I just didn't since it was raining!

[@SkippyPB.]

Car Confections thanks.

[@deebee68]

The MDX will have the one thing the RDX doesn’t and that is a V6 Turbo and maybe a DSG. The RDX is a sweet ride. I’m not sure of the center stack. The dial does very little for such a significant location and amount of space.

[@ravgill6156]

David Bern once you own one, it’s actually quite convenient for how much the average person would use it. I switch from sport to sport+ fairly often (either to get away from bad drivers or enjoy the speed off the line at a ted light, etc) So looking at it without having actually used it much, it may seem like it’s useless. But Acura actually nailed the placement

[@davisrich9556]

Do Lexus bags come standard in the RDX Storage compartment. 22:43

[@CarConfections]

Absolutely haha

[@mrxyz2k]

Not even with Lexus RXL. 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@DHGroove]

Does Honda's Lane Keep Assist just bounce you off the lines if you stray too far, or does it do active centering?

[@shanenelson8793]

DHGroove Honda is one of the few to do active lane centering.

[@DHGroove]

Nice, thanks

[@magic_fruit_bat5003]

Are the side mirrors power folding?

[@CarConfections]

No but they can be folded manually. Thanks for watching!

[@ravgill6156]

If you’re in Canada, yes they are :) Guess there are slight differences (like also having remote start on the Fobs)

[@ashwinjogaratnam9417]

Nice review

[@flawlesskrush2145]

Where is the detailed tutorial you promised in the description? Or am I blind lol

[@lylecameron5578]

Great review; thanks.

[@culpeppervol]

Are you all still putting out the tutorial on the infotainment system?

[@culpeppervol]

In the video and in the video description you mention doing a more in-depth review of the infotainment system. Is that something you all still plan on doing?

[@NaveNosDrachir]

Does the RDX come with the Walk-Away auto lock feature like the MDX?

[@CarConfections]

Yes, you just have to turn it on in the settings. Thanks for tuning in!

[@NaveNosDrachir]

Thx I enjoyed the in-depth review! Now is this on all trim lines?

[@jelanimclean6326]

My Aunty Jean Smith Drives Her RDX Today.

[@jerry7200]

Is there a way to activate the surround view camera without switching to Reverse?

[@mrxyz2k]

Jerry He yes by pushing button on tip of washer stick. You can see its separated by black circle and had a symbol, that not cleared in this video. By pushing you travel between different views.

[@ronaldgraziano5170]

Great in-depth review!

[@CarConfections]

Glad you liked it!

[@Jovi730]

Can the navigation turn by turn signals be in the 7inch screen

[@CarConfections]

Yes they will appear there when navigation is activated

[@rogeryoung1201]

Why have LED's but miss the mark with incandescent rear turn signals? Wow wow WTH?

[@ricktomas7955]

What is the price for the acrua

[@vermilliontoaster3063]

37th like, 351 view and another 1 satisfied viewer. Who again appreciates the taste in music for the intros.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks as always!

[@brigettejourdian8424]

Thanks for the review. Does the A Spec trim contain everything the Technology trim has or do you need to add both? What are the similarities/differences? Thank you!

[@CarConfections]

Glad you liked it! And yes, the A-Spec is added on top of the Technology so it keeps all the same features or replaces them with nicer ones

[@GS-sm3jo]

Acura 👍🏻

[@brandyag]

Standard Pano-moonroof? Really?!! Does it come with a spare tire?

[@toddmediumwellingtoniii478]

Alvin Gayo yrs it does

[@CarConfections]

Yes, the panoramic moonroof is standard and there is also a spare tire! Thanks for watching!

[@11Hammers]

A-Spec does not have a spare but other trims do.

[@ravgill6156]

I have an A-Spec, and indeed it comes with a full size spare

[@brucec43]

Prediction: Adaptive dampers are on A-spec within 2 years.

[@randomrazr]

is the lexus rx more then the rdx?

[@RomaneMaticaliseGordon]

randomrazr different class. RX competes with the MDX

[@Despot1389]

good looking car

[@extreme_vlogs_lol_tvjamesb8098]

Sorry I have not comment but wow that's is amazing great video i sub ⚡⚡🌀🌀☀☀

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@extreme_vlogs_lol_tvjamesb8098]

Have A great day

[@CoolJohnny]

Great Video I Subcribed.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! Welcome to our 'family' 🙂

[@gptelevators1564]

Nice new crossover

[@gptelevators1564]

BTW First

[@itsmealvin1922]

Interior design so ugly

[@tch3rno]

American-designed, American-engineered, American-made!

[@user-fx5sw4jy7hYz9Hzi]

Define American. And why is it better other than being patriotic ?

[@tch3rno]

The vehicle was designed, engineered and built in the US and supporting middle class jobs here.

[@user-fx5sw4jy7hYz9Hzi]

Yeah okay but how is that good for the actual quality of the car. That's just being patriotic which is great but does nothing to the car. American car manufacturing doesn't have good reputation.

[@tch3rno]

Not really sure what you're getting at Paul. Honda and Acura have been near the top in term of durability and reliability for decades. Most of their cars sold in North America are actually made in the US.

[@user-fx5sw4jy7hYz9Hzi]

I don't know what don't you get. I am giving it to you straight. American manufactured car are not as reliable as Japanese, Korean, German made cars. If you want statistics I can give it to you.

[@extreme_vlogs_lol_tvjamesb8098]

And what's cool car I have never see this in dealership

[@vytenisrupeika6102]

Are you from out of space lol

[@leer4905]

I going to get it :)

[@Capone2121]

Why is it always raining or snowing when you're doing a review?

[@CarConfections]

Haha our weather can be challenging, so we just go ahead and film unless the weather is dangerous. Gotta keep those reviews coming!

[@domisnotadummy]

no spare tire?? :/

[@derek8591]

rdx vs q5???

[@ravgill6156]

Derek hands down RDX (I went with the A-Spec) I was debating between the RDX, Q5, X3, and Evoque Q3 and Evoque have a louder bass but that’s also partially due to their size All in all, the RDX is the largest, most power, and most comfortable imo. Oh and the others don’t stand a chance on the price vs features comparison

[@irshangill7582]

Derek RDX

[@randomrazr]

so this would be the luxury version of the honda CRV?

[@jasonwong6432]

Not exactly since the new RDX has a completely different all new Acura RDX only platform.

[@toddmediumwellingtoniii478]

no but the general public will see it that way

[@norarodriguezmolinari1423]

AcuraFr

[@robertjackson7590]

The Horn sounds like it was stolen off of a Yugo. I don't get it? Why Great review on your part, just sayin.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@halalwrld]

Beautiful car

[@fly169]

still don't get it. the main console looks dated and weird. Reminds me of Ford. track pad is like from the last century

[@bohan9957]

So, is Acura still Japanese or is it now American?

[@CarConfections]

This specific car was designed and built in the U.S

[@ChiroVideosTVlondon]

I have never heard of this brand before.

[@TheFoxwiz]

Google “rdx class action suit” before considering this vehicle

[@Quizzical106]

I've driven Acura for 20 years+ but did not like this years models. The technology is akin to something designed by Microsoft. It is complicated and unintuitive - and frankly did not work half the time. Even the sales people did not know how to use it or it did not work for them. The camera is terrible. The display needs to be touch screen and they need to get rid of the touch-pad.

[@NanuNaikNanuNaik]

Hi

[@CarConfections]

Hey

[@michaelrocks1529]

Did you know that Lexus is better than Acura?

[@pingsid]

Why is that people think that their opinion is somehow better that someone else's. It's just an opinion.

[@michaelrocks1529]

Siddhartha Anand an opinion backed by facts and evidence bud 😉

[@pingsid]

Some consider better value for money better. Others consider ride comfort better. It's a personal opinion.

[@mrxyz2k]

Due isolation Lexus car weigh more and consume more fuel, also more expensive prices.

[@natachahill6085]

🎊😉😺⛽🎈

[@michaelvella8511]

I don't like the fact that you have to purchase Acura Link just to have remote start !!!!!!!

[@duddym28]

You don't, you can add it as an option - $399.

[@ravgill6156]

Please note that this is only in the US. Canadian models have remote start built into the fob Though our AcuraLink is only a 3-month trial

[@1758game]

Booooo go mdx
