Much To Like
I purchased a 2023 new 3 weeks ago. My observations, starting with cons: Disappointing 360 degree camera. The camera on my 2017 Nissan Murano has better resolution. It's not horrible, just not what you'd expect from a premium brand. The font on the screen and labeling the various buttons and switchgear through this car is tiny. Now granted, I have senior citizen eyes. I noticed this as soon as I got behind the wheel, so it wasn't a deal breaker. Now the pros. Fun to drive. Very good acceleration. Loves the curves. Very comfortable seats. Both in front are 16 way adjustable. A great HUD. Wireless Apple CarPlay. Loaded with other features like heated steering wheel, heated/ventilated front seats, spare tire, wireless charging, remote start, the list goes on. What I thought would be a deal breaker for me, the touch pad interface, is easy to live with once you get the hang of it. Plus, the voice controls are very good and answering a phone call can be done from a switch on the steering wheel. The HVAC controls are hard buttons, not buried in a screen. If the camera at least matched my 6 year old Nissan's this would be a 5 star review.

6 months in and so far we love our RDX
We got the 2023 RDX with Technology package in May . We really like the interior comfort and ride quality. Also shifting it into Sport mode makes it even more fun to drive! The trackpad does take a little getting used to, and should probably be updated in future models. It can be distracting using it while driving. Overall, a solid 8.5 out of 10 so far… Update December 2023: well, we’ve had the car now for about six months and overall it’s been a very comfortable as well as a high performance vehicle. The only problems have been some minor electronic glitches such as the airbag light coming on indicating some fault in the airbag system. We also noticed that the windshield wipers when placed on a higher speed, hit the side left pillar of the car. We brought these issues into the dealership however they have not been corrected as of yet. Stay tuned for more updates! Update again January 2024: All above issues have been resolved!

Great car
The RDX excels in every area that matters to me. Responsive acceleration, roomy interior, very comfortable driver’s seat, excellent stereo in the Technology package, precise steering, smooth ride and good cargo capacity. I compared the Acura to the Audi Q5 and the Acura won on acceleration (which surprised me), roominess, and front seat comfort. I actually enjoy this car more than my previous car, an Audi A6. I would highly recommend the Acura RDX!

2023 Acura RDX AWD Aspec/Advance - 1 Year Review
Writing this review after 1-year of ownership and 10K miles of driving in the US. Overall this SUV has been exceptional the past year. I would say it is one of the best daily drivers I have ever owned. Very quick, handles like a sports car, tight steering (especially in sport mode). Cabin is quiet, great audio system, comfortable seats, great in all weather conditions including rain/snow. I love having Alexa built in. The only negatives I can think of is the gas mileage is not great. I am currently averaging 20.3 mpg with a mix of highway and city driving. The brakes are good, but could be better. Lastly, and this is a personal preference, I wish I had just gone with the black interior instead of the red. I can already notice the red starting to fade a little bit even thought the car is garaged. Some have said the red seats turn a pinkish color eventually if the car is constantly left in the sun. This is the 4th Acura in a row I have owned and definitely the best one. Very sporty and enjoyable to drive. I have had zero problems with the car so far. Hope this helps anyone considering getting one.

RDX Aspec Advance from HELL
Ordered in Nov ‘22 and took possession Mar ‘23. RDX was in Acura shop 3 different times totaling over 30 days with oil dripping on my garage floor. Just recently oil began to drip again and recently on a trip to Tennessee my vehicle sensors went amber from green. Going to Acura dealer in Franklin TN for sensor fix. Filed LEMON notice with Acura via Florida Lemon Law guidelines. Purchased RDX in Pompano Beach FL. Acura wants to have head Acura mechanics involved with another fix. THIS SHOULDN'T BE WITH A BRAND NEW RDX WHICH I PAID OVER 60k.
