2023 Acura RDX A Spec Advance has ONE Big Issue :All Specs & Test Drive 

I have a 2019 RDX SHAWD Advance. I wrapped the chrome in black and changed the wheels. Looks better than aspec now and no issues so far. Every once in a while the pano roof makes a noise in off camber angles but not too often, it happens with other cars with pano roofs too. It's sporty, and have hauled my dogs, people, boxes for moving houses and round trip road trips with no issues. the infotainment is easy to get used to.

This is a really well done review. Scripted, concise, thoughtfully organized, tightly edited. It addressed the questions that potential buyers want to know. So many reviews are just stream-of-consciousness blabbing behind endless GoPro shots or lazy repetition of manufacturer talking points. Such a relief to discover a useful review. Obvious that you did your homework first. Thank you!

I apologize, I missed it; what is the ONE big issue? You listed a few things (like the touchpad controlled non-touch screen), but I didn't pick up on what the biggest negative was. My apologies for missing it.

Since the really change from last year is price why haven't they improved the negatives?

Just purchased a Tech Package for the wife who loves it, I hate the push button shifter. The Tech package has the same drive modes and paddle shift. I'm old school, would have loved a CD player with the great sound system and an all around camera. My opinion is that there are too many trim levels for essentially an identical vehicle. Wife doesn't mind not having a touchscreen.

You can adjust the center arm padded console to slide foward, Its really easy to miss

I like it!! I have a 22 MDX leased - coming due next August. I may think about Trading Down from the MDX. As a 72 yo retired guy, I mostly drive locally with occassional longer trips per month. One key takeaway that I saw was the lack of a power /electric tilt steering Wheel ?? For this kind of $$$$$ that is a petty omission. I've had that on my last 4 Infinitis, and the 2019 MDX and now on my 22 MDX !. Come On Acura, really ?? I have the TTIP Touchpad on my 22 MDX, it still "bugs" me bc it still forces me to take my eyes off the road to use it. The HUD is big plus to be able to engage features like radio stations. And ay You don't mention but you will discover after you get the car home and use either Android Auto or Car Play, the TTIP is downright AWFUL in that mode. Works entirely differently, like the worst , slowest Mouse Pad you ever had!!

Been a Acura driver my whole life but.. I'm waiting for the all-new Mazda CX-70 over this. Want the Inline6 hybrid rear-wheel bias drive system and newer infotainment system.

The A spec is clean but says only FWD. I also like the wheels from A spec better then these but I want the foglights and awd

We like the touch pad. I hate an oil finger print covered touch screen.

Is that a used truck? I saw dealer branding on the back and I've bought 2 Acura's in 2 different states and I've never had dealer branding on them, I was told that Acura doesn't allow dealers to do that on new cars.

I think the acura RDX AWD transmission is a issue example delay in shifting hunting for gears. Anyone please comment. If you having this experience.

No place to rest your elbows? Really? I adjust the seat on mine to where I'm comfortable and the console cover and door pad fits to my elbows perfectly.

Good ole Lakeland 💪

Nice review 🎉

Nothing really compares to rdx + better performance over every one. - only 20mpg +good transmission - transmission needs better programing to get better mpg - cant fit a mountain bike inside + moonroof is cool af - its a little on the heavy side. + easy to maintain + affordable to maintain - doesnt come with 16 inch wheels, so no offroading +good on sand, snow and water. + sportsedan handling + it can easily go over medians and sidewalks in case of emergencies

This has a CVT? Does the sunroof open?

Needs a type s.

Why at the red light engine stops Then real fast start n go On a 2023

No charging ports in the back ?

The Red gauge cluster. Red is the only color?

The BIGGEST issue an RDX has is that its fuel efficiency is absolute SHITE! I drive primarily on freeways and get 22mpg. Way below what they state.

Thought it was 0-60 around 5.7 no?

compare MDX to RDX

It use be a V6

Base model is literally just as nice. Save some money
