It is a well made automobile that has great features.

My favorite feature is the back up camera that is hidden in the rear view mirror. The turbo is great also.

Very nice

Beautiful suv

Quality vehicle and long lasting use.

It is a fabulous vehicle - it has enough power with a turbo engine and does extremely well in the snow, rain. AWD is also excellent and the tires all wear evenly. Just keep up with a rotation schedule and it really helps them last. Overall a really great choice as a small SUV/crossover. Since it is a smaller size, it would comfortably fit 4 adults. The back seat and trunk area can hold a lot.

Sandy N

Reliable and well made vehicle.

This is a very reliable vehicle. We do the recommended maintenance on it and never had any problems with it. It is comfortable, gets good gas mileage and is easy to drive..It handles well on the highway and in town driving. Visibility is good. We have the turbo model so it passes well if we need to accelerate.

Jay K

Well aligned, uses less gas and the leather seats makes it classy.

It's a high performing vehicle, barely has problem coz I service it when necessary. Problem is the radio system crashed and was unable to reboot it. I love the leather seats very durable, I also enjoy the sun roof during summer. It is suitability on the road is quite good as well as the speed.

It has been very reliable. No maintenance has been needed beyond regular maintenance, and I've owned it for nearly 9 years, and driven almost 150k miles.

The ride is smooth, and comfortable. The vehicle is reliable, as I've had no maintenance needs beyond regular maintenance even after almost 150k miles driven. It's large enough to fit most things in, but not too large, and still feels a little sporty to drive.

Sabrina L

Sporty and luxurious! Suitable for any lifestyle.

Since I've bought this car I've absolutely loved everything about it. Its luxury yet sporty and makes me want to stick with Acura for many years to come. It handles great in the city and in the mountains, has the perfect amount of space for my small family and has great features such as heated seats, automatic windows, great safety settings, alarm, sunroof and beautiful leather seats. The fuel economy is also fantastic for a turbo SUV! Every person that has ever been in my car with me is very impressed and loves the vehicle.

Ren E

Best SUV I have ever owned.

Haven't had any problems but had blind spots making driving difficult for someone who is only five feet tall. Also I wish it had a better back up camera and sensors for when you are too close to a car. Other than that I have no reason to complain in the ten years I have owned the car.

My Acura 2010 rx, helps you survive the weather.

I really appreciate my vehicle and all that my vehicle has got me through. Whether it be harsh weather in the winter or hot days in the summer, my car has helped me get through them. I hope other people enjoy a good car like mine and do not miss the opportunity to get a Acura 2010 rxl.

Carlis T

I love how you can register your phone to the car and use hands free accessories.

Reliable just looks older very sturdy and durable. Family SUV very room leather seats black on black everything. My family loves it great room when traveling spacious trunk lighting is very nice. Also has a sub room and late night blue light deeming. A lot of legroom in front and back set areas.

Paul G

It still runs well after 85,000 miles, but it can guzzle gas.

I purchased my Acura RDX secondhand with over 50,000 miles on it. It is quite reliable and gets me from point A to point B but it is not a very powerful or impressive vehicle.

marina S

Acura is old, faithful, and reliable.

It is quite reliable and has worked for the past ten years for our family. The ac is broken but that's ok since the car is old. Otherwise, it is considered a safe car and has good seatbelts. The tail lights often go out (don't really know why) but make sure that they are working so you don't get pulled over.

Erk B

Good smooth driving and safe as well for passengers,

Pretty good ride, drives smoothly, I absolutely love the backup camera, uncomfortable seating and kind of not easily adjustable, also have had problems with the settings of how the seat and mirrors move on their own, also has malfunctioned with that. . .

Jessica C

It is a dependable car that hasn't given me many problems since I have owned it.

It is a dependable vehicle but it is just too small for my family of 5.

Robert W

I wish I had gotten a different car.

I purchased this car with 125k miles and it has given me problems strut broke power steering went out and after repairing the strut a few days later it has a new noise. I can't figure out how to use the Bluetooth technology package. Other than that I like it...

2010 Acura rdx review- It's good.

I like my car because it is comfortable and nice looking. The only bad thing is my mirror broke easily but I think that was just personal reasons. Overall it is a great car that I like but I am planning to get a new one this year. The car is easy to keep clean as well.

Pros from Owners

Abby D.

The riding comfort, luxury features, handling in various weather conditions, general stylish appearance, compact size (easy to park), ease of handling/nimble, storage room, speed/quick acceleration, incredible sound system.

Regina P.

Luxurious and safe. Great handling and performance. Exceptional acceleration. Intuitive layout and design. Thoughtful comfort features throughout. Quiet ride with above average quality speakers and sound. Decent space in a non-obtrusive size that is easy for city driving while also being competent off-road thanks to the AWD.

Maria R.

The pros of my vehicle are that it is very roomy, the engine does not break down so easily, good in rough weather. The Acura RDX is a good family car, it is very comfortable. The interior design is not cheap made and it is a dependable car.

Aracely M.

The car is good gas when it comes to mileage on the highway and great on gas for everyday use. The car rides smooth. So far it has required very little maintenance.What maintenance I have had has been minimum and affordable.

Cons from Owners

Abby D.

Not enough cup holders (only 2), no seat warmers in the back, headlights fade/discolor easily, horrible miles per gallon average - about 16 which makes it very expensive to drive, only takes premium fuel, no eco fuel mode or systems.

Regina P.

The rear is quite wide, the transmission does not have the best reputation for longevity and is already creating some issues. Premium fuel at premium price is required. Very difficult to update the digital navigation in the vehicle which has caused me to nearly be in a serious crash when relying on that outdated technology.

Maria R.

The cons for my vehicle is that it makes a lot of noise when on the road. It also costs a lot of money to maintain it. This car is not recommended for everyone. It can be hard finding places to park this car. It is not a sports car so if you want a fast car this one is not it.

Aracely M.

There is one big factor and that is that it has a lot of electrical maintenance. And the cost for repair can be costly if something were to go wrong. But other than that. I do not see any real cons in owning this vehicle.
