I bought a 2021 Advance (coming from a 2014 Infiniti Q50 sport). The RDX is awesome. Its quick, it handles great, SH-AWD is awesome, its super comfortable. But low key the best feature is if you have three kids... the middle row floor is completely flat. This is unique in this segment (other than MAYBE Lexus). We looked at the XC-60 and Q5 and the drivetrain hump in the middle makes them practically 4-seaters, which is the issue I had with my Q50. We literally couldn't take my family of 5 any farther than a 10 minute drive in that car and it would have been the same in the majority of mid-compact luxury SUVs. Yeah, I could have gotten a RAV-4 or CRV and they would have had flat 2nd rows but not the same. Props to Honda/Acura for making such a nice, comfortable, sporty vehicle that is still ultra practical.

@@sid99sid You are limited with the customizations! Maps do not take full screen, as the system uses split screen that you can't change.. Apple CarPlay looks horrible and small (smaller than on Honda's screen) because of that small split! Don't get me started on the stupid trackpad! It is a great car that is handicapped by infotainment system/trackpad. If you only plan to stare at the screen, by all means, it is great car, but if you want to interact with it on daily basis, run away from this car.

I love the looks, it's one of my favorite SUV's in A-spec trim. I personally feel that for the price it needs to have 350hp V6 in it. I honestly wouldn't buy an SUV of this size with a 4 cyl no matter what the numbers are. If it was Q3 size then that's ok for a stock motor. I would rather get a one year old SQ5 for the price, and yes this is Acura so reliability will be better but that's my opinion on it.

Got an awd last week, great vehicle to drive but a few odd misses, no floor lights, feels dark with only small leds. No heated steering or folding mirror, pedal shifters are cheap plastic. No rear storage cover?? Overall a good deal as compared to a BMW X3, well equipped, stylish and more fun to drive.

The only thing that sucks about the 2021 Aspec (I have it) is the accent lighting is ONLY red. I had the 2019 it had 3 or 4 colors. The 2022 has rainbow colors I think 22 of them. The 2021 also doesnt have the led tubes for the accent lighting on the interior either. I am presuming this was due to covid and not being able to source the parts. Otherwise it feels like a rocketship. Oh I forgot. It EATS gas more than my 2020 TLX 6 cyclinder aspec probably due to the turbo or my heavy foot...

I recommend driving a Toyota Venza after the RDX. The cars drive almost identical, super sporty. My only issue with the RDX is the A-Spec loses some features you might want and can only get on a top model trim. The Venza is cheaper, is a hybrid, and will be just as reliable and the performance feels almost identical. RDX has a nicer interior, looks great in the A-Spec, but pretty similar to the Venza in the other trims. 15000 km for oil changes on Venza, between 8-12000 km on RDX depending on how you drive it. Love both cars but I really recommend you drive both back to back and consider the price difference and the warranty.

Personally, I wish the A-Spec package offered some form of brake caliper treatment to fit in with all the other package-specific options. I can only assume Acura is holding back on this type of feature in the event they drop a "Type S" variant into the RDX line, which would be friggin' awesome... Keep up the great work Joe (and team)! 😎

This was at the top of the list to replace my wife's totaled RX350. That was until I read about the reported transmission problems and the unreliable infotainment system (with pending class-action lawsuit). I was then surprised that CR readers also had problems. It looks like a nice package. Once they get their reliability together, we might give it another look.

Love the RDX but the Red seat were nice in early 2000, not anymore. The other thing is I wish the A-spec Cluster can switch into different colors. The always RED cluster become annoying after a while. Other than that, plenty of room inside, very nice to drive too.

It seems this compact luxury SUV may have cornered the market on Twinkie storage. I may have to seriously consider this when shopping again. Kidding aside, I really like this. Great review as well. Have been a Mazda family the past several years now on our second CX-5 and a Signature 6 both in the garage. Used to be a Honda/Acura family until they lost their way in the late aughts with styling. What Acura is putting put now and near future may bring us back.

Joe, between this and the 2021 TLX ASpec, which would you say is better overall? The pricing is very similar. Space isn't an issue for me. I haven't been able to drive either yet. Another great review fyi.

Acura builds a fine automobile, just sold our MDX. Purchased it new and took care of it as we do with all our vehicles. The only difference is that the leather/seating they choose are underwhelming. I am looking at 2019 and 2020 RDX with low mileage and I see the same thing again, poor quality seating. I like Acura's, have owned three of them but am getting turned off on the quality in seating situation. Mechanically and running ability, the Acura has few competitors.

bought my wife an advanced in march 2020, loving it. My only wish with it is the portion of the body before pillar A that it makes it sometimes difficult to look out in some bad designed exits. Otherwise, it is so sweet. the shawd yields great handling and is freaking-closely-good compared to my f30.

@@user-xs8gm2md6d I did! It's great in most ways. There are two common issues that I've seen people talk about on forums and consumer reports about the brakes bring noisy/grindy when it sits, and the huge sunroof will sometimes make popping noises when the vehicle shifts. Both happen with mine, and the brake noise goes away very quickly and the occasional pop as the vehicle shifts around doesn't bother me. Both of which I guess they addressed in 2022 model year and newer but can't confirm. Otherwise, I legit can say this is the best vehicle I've ever owned. It's pretty dang peppy, and dare I say fast, for what it is. It has every amenity I can imagine, it's very very comfortable, the sound system is out of this world, and I think it looks hecking good too.

Love the 2.0t, 10 speed and sh-awd. Also, the red seats are spot on. Acura is coming back! Keep up the great reviews!

Best sport enthousiast CUV/SUV I've tried that I can actually buy! And It got steering feel! Anything to write to your mother but it works flawlessly with the SH-awd. Even on wet road you can feel the turn-in from the outside rear wheel. It's is fantastic compromise up from a sedan. But then, There's the TLX typeS. Next test ride.
