Positive Owner Reviews

Great car, I highly recommend it.
It is spacious and comfortable. It is reliable and fun to drive. I have not had any mechanical problem with it. Only drawback is gas mileage, it could be improved. The cabin is well appointed and even at the age, there are no rattles. I would buy another one.
accountCircle Hannah F
It is very reliable. I have never had a significant problem with it and I have had it for almost 7 years.
I like that I have never had a significant problem with my vehicle. I don't like that the technology is outdated, but it is from 2007 so that's expected. I like the turbo engine and the sporty feel.

Very few issues with my Acura rdx.
My 2007 Acura rdx runs like a dream. Very few service issues. Have had issues with the struts and the air conditioner. Strut was pretty expensive to replace and the a/c was frustrating as it happened intermittently. Ended up having to drive straight to the dealer on a 100 degree day just to prove it was blowing hot air. Otherwise normal maintenance and I have had very few issues.

Reliable but costs more to upkeep.
Very reliable car that has lasted 11 years and over 135, 000 miles. Requires premium gasoline and synthetic oil.

Depending and safe family car (not small like a compact but not big like a SUV or minivan)
I like that it is dependable. We haven't had any regular problems with it. It is comfy. We like the heated seats during the winter time. It is just enough room for our family and an extra friend or two. The trunk fits all of my husband's musical instruments (acoustic/electric/bass guitars, amps, pedalboards) when he has band practice.
accountCircle Wendy D
It has held up beautifully over the years.
Love the size, it is easy to park. Love the power, love the GPS screen. I wish it had memory function for the position of the driver’s seat. I wish the satellite radio tuning were simpler.
accountCircle Tali B
The car alerts you when someone is not buckled and it has a backing camera.
His car is very reliable. I feel safe going on a road trips and it is a great car overall. As far as gas mileage, the car only needs to be filled twice a month.
accountCircle Eric B
I think that they should know that it is a good car to have
This car is very reliable. It gets me from point a to b.When it comes to flagship luxury sedans, most European and Asian automakers start with a rear-wheel-drive platform and a standard -- or at least optional -- V8. As an outlier, Acura has held fast to its belief that V6 power is more than capable. This is partly mindful of fuel economy concerns and partly due to the fact that Honda simply doesn't make a V8 for any application outside of motorsports.

Negative Owner Reviews

I love that my car is leather seats.
Well since my car is getting older, my breaks are not as good as they were before. Also when I press my gas sometimes I have to really press on it so that it moves faster. Also when I reverse and then go forward my car kind of pushes back a little.

Thief protections, GPS, Bluetooth voice command, seat warmers, auto seat shift.
What I like about Acura rdx is that it is pretty reliable to drive daily, luxury interiors, and it comes with high technology features like GPS or voice command tech. What I do not like about the car is that it takes premium gas which is a lot expensive than normal gas, and it seems like it has frequent battery problems in winter.
accountCircle Elaine G
It is very fuel efficient and comfortable. It's easy to drive
No complaints. It's runs great and fuel efficient.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled David T.

Luxury, performance. Well designed friendly interior. Sporty. Fun to drive. Handles very well. Spacious interior. Excellent storage for a car. Reliable transportation. Easily serviced and maintained. Overall great experience to own.

likeFilled Sydney S.

My car is reliable and with the tech package you have hands free calling. I have had this car for 3 years now and I haven't had an issue with it. It's also nice because it has a navigation system so when you lose cell service you can still get directions. I also live that there is a cargo cover for the truck so I don't have to worry about people seeing what I have.

likeFilled Sera S.

My car came standard with a lot of features that most luxury models charge extra for. Also, because it uses Honda parts, it is fairly affordable to maintain. It has had very few issues overall to be 13 years old now and has held up very well.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled David T.

Too slow. Does not accelerate fast enough for me. I like very responsive vehicles. Can be cramped in long trips. Wouldn't seat enough people to take to an event. 07 Also is older so there are many new and delightful features offered now.

dislikeFilled Sydney S.

The center console is peeling and needs to be replaced. Also while it does get fair gas mileage it could be improved especially when you have to put in premium gas which is more expensive. Also if you drive a lot you have to change the oil often.

dislikeFilled Sera S.

The turning radius is rather poor considering the SUV is not very large. Also, the leather on the front seats and console did have to replaced due to normal wear and tear a few years ago. Lastly, while the gas mileage is pretty good, it is not as good as some of the newer models that are even larger with more power.

The Acura RDX costs about $5000 and I believe that is a good price to pay. But that all depends on the state of the vehicle.
