Review: 2014 Acura RDX AWD on Everyman Driver

[@everymandriver]

FYI: KZbin has been flagging a bunch of my past videos. I won't bore you with the details, suffice to say, I am making the necessary/required edits and replacing them with revised versions including a handful of my 2012 reviews. I'm really sorry but you can't find the YT machine. Thanks for your understanding - Dave

[@heslind]

I just bought a 2018 and love it

[@darbydupree4056]

I have a 2014 and it’s a great vehicle. I agree with everything you said except about road noise. I think hearing the differential rolling distract from the experience and should have been insulated more.

[@AllenManor]

Great review as always. My wife likes these but compared to the MDX the interior looks very Honda, and all Acura interiors look low-budget compared to Lexus. Don't know why, my old Acura Legend was super plush. Anyways, it's ridiculous that this car only tows 1,500 lbs!

[@AldoTL90]

This will my next car, i´d love to move from my jeep liberty to this!

[@everymandriver]

@Christian, good news, I already reviewed the '14 MDX. Look into my Acura Playlist or the 2014 Car Review Playlist. It's there. Let me know what you think after you watch it - Dave

[@MrIpad2lover]

Hope everything goes well, Everyman driver nation believes in you. Can you please do a review of the 2014 Acura MDX

[@GBraidi78]

Can you please review the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid? As always I love your reviews!

How do you get calves that huge?

Great review as always, but that RDX looks to much like it's Honda cousin especially on the inside.

[@rbp917]

Very good reviews!

[@everymandriver]

Thank you, @senorgato70, I fixed it - Dave

[@BTC909]

Needs Premium Fuel to get those HP & MPG numbers. Bland exterior styling. Gets pricey.

[@sirbooli]

You didn't mention the keyless access or push button stop.

[@muddlemann]

Min octane requirements. Please. Thanks.

[@Msfili]

can you review a 2013 cadillac escalade premium would love to see :)

[@tuan360]

Towing capacity only at 1500lbs? I'd thought it would at least 3500lbs

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

If you want a body on frame truck with real capability you want to buy a Lexus truck or a Toyota Land cruiser 💪

[@addisonfrinzi3156]

Could you comment on the differences between the 2014 and 2015 models you did reviews on?

[@everymandriver]

Where? Here in the comment section?

I have this car and love it

+cool Ian Well, here's my feedback on a 2014 RDX AWD Base - Transmission slippage occurred at approx. 34,000 miles (Jan. 2016). I had to bring it in to the local Acura dealership twice: 1st time, transmission flush to see if issue will be addressed (it did not); 2nd time was a 2-day diagnostic that resulted (on the last test-drive of all things) with the transmission being replaced. Thank gosh for long warranties on Acuras or I'd've been eating it all. The dealership also warranty-replace the rear shocks due to the thumping noise whenever you hit a depression in the road (e.g., manhole covers). The transmission replacement is a re-manufactured unit, so it's not new. The car certainly drives smoothly now, but I wonder how long that'll last. I'll wait to see what happens up till the 60,000 warranty. If problem recurs before then, I'll get it repaired through warranty and trade it in. Quite disappointing in a "premium vehicle" that is never driven hard and regularly serviced. Hopefully, you never will, but for those of you who may experience the transmission slippage, document the incidences as much as you can (date, time, weather condition, noises, driving-feel, etc.) as much as you can, and you may want to report it to Acura Corp ASAP just for records. Also, if you experience that thumping noise from the rear shocks (I kind of tuned it out), take it in before the 48,000-mile warranty expires as that may be a warranty replacement. After the repair, the RDX is even more pleasant to drive, though I'm still leery of the transmission.

+Drummond Fengdahl well we didn't get the base model which might have something to do with it and I dont love the transmission on this car

[@Ian-wu8oj]

+Drummond Fengdahl actually we have the 2015 model I don't know what I was thinking

[@twystedhumour]

cool Ian Huh. I wonder what you were drinking at 930 AM... :D Hopefully your model's transmission was improved. Base and Tech/Adv. models have the same mechanicals. It's the tech. pkgs (+ maybe upholstery) that are different. Good luck with your car.

[@onejupiter]

:35. Hood has a ding in it.

[@undergroundretail]

Who else got stiff when the door was about to close on his arm?

[@jusztce]

I was like wait is this man really boutta lose an arm!? 😂

[@gregnixon1296]

The sunroof’s anti-closing safety feature doesn’t work on my Pilot just like it didn’t work on your RDX’s rear door. Maybe Honda hasn’t figured that one out yet. It shut on my wife’s arm. Glad it wasn’t on the neck of one of my kids.

[@patrickconroy8729]

Please do not rev your vehicle when it is in Park or Neutral like this test driver did. Engines are designed to rev when they are under load (driving) not while sitting still.
