2007 Acura RDX - Great Until Yesterday
I purchased this vehicle about a year ago. I loved it from the beginning. It is a top of the line model. I have been taking it to the Acura dealer in my town for service. The dealers been great, the car didn't have any problems in the first 12 months that I owned it, despite it being a slightly older car with slightly higher miles. HOWEVER, just yesterday I my check engine light came on. I have done some research online and it seems that I might have to replace the whole turbo. I am a little disappointed with its reliability now. I had nothing but good things to say about this car until now. The interior has held up very nicely and all the tech systems work great. I have had no problems with the electronics or any superficial part of the car. Before this engine problem I have only had ... (more)
Historia
When I let my younger brother drive it down the street, he used the paddle shifters on the steering wheel ( I didn't even know those were on there) and he loved it. He giggled like a 12 year old girl-He's 20.
A Favor
I love the tech package, the Bluetooth is a must have. Also the interior is very nice.
En Contra
It is having an engine (turbo) problem only one year after I bought it. It is expensive to repair as well.
2010 Acura RDX - Excellent family car
This is an extremely comfortable car that was well thought-out in it's design. It drives superbly and has had no mechanical issues in the 130,000 miles I have driven on it. It handles well on a variety of surfaces including ice, snow, and rain and makes me feel safe when driving on these surfaces. The lie-flat turn down of the back seats allows for a large amount of space to pack or move items such as boxes, chairs, and suitcases. It also makes a large comfy space for our large dog to lie comfortably. LATCH hooks provide a safe and secure place to attach car seats. I have had some speaker issues, as several cut out periodically, but this is the only electronics issue I have had with the vehicle. The built in NAV system will get you from point a to b, but not always in the most efficien... (more)
Historia
I had to take this on a mountain road completely covered in snow and ice. It was the only pass still open to get home and the Acura RDX performed flawlessly even when I saw countless cars on the side of the road unable to continue in the snow.
A Favor
Comfortable design
lie-flat back seats
all-wheel drive
En Contra
Speakers a bit unreliable
Nav system has an odd algorithm which doesn't always give the most efficient directions.
1999 Acura RDX - Black Beauty for the crew
I bought this car looking for a reliable car that was in my budget. It has by far exceeded my desires. It has tons of perks and looks stylishly classy. Whether you are a male or a female, you feel confident driving this car. I am excited every time I drive by another Acura because I know that all of us probably have a somewhat similar mindset. So, if there is a single guy out there looking for a single lady, look for a black Acura driving up on your left side!
Historia
I take my business crew to lunch all the time in my car. They always request I drive, and it is not because I am a good driver. It is just for the sake of my car. They actually feel scared for their lives, and I have no clue about directions, but somehow, every week I still drive all of us. We get there and back safely along with rocking tunes and in a great mood.
A Favor
I love my sunroof! It lets me see the stars at night, allowing me to dream of my future. Or streams of sunshine making me feel like I am in California during the daylight hours. I bought the car because of the snow in the Midwest, and it handles really well in the snow. Also, against wildlife in the country. It makes you feel safe and allows those who love you feel safe for you, too. The seat warmers also keeps your butt nice and toasty. I will always get that in my future cars from now on.
En Contra
It does use up a lot of gas, but maybe it is because I like to drive fast. That is really only the negative that comes to mind.
