Reliability is never mentioned in luxury category reviews. Mercedes, Audi and BMW kill you after 60k miles. Honda based cars will get you to 150k trouble free. That is such a big deal. I’ll never buy an Audi or BMW again.

I appreciate the fact that this review gave the pros and cons of the RDX unlike other reviews that just go over the press kit. Artificial engine noise is piped in through the speakers. Hopefully the 2025 model will have a touchpad and improved gas milage. Still my number one choice for a small SUV.

We bought an RDX 2/2024. Love it. I have always loved my Honda Odyssey, and passed it down after 13 years of ownership, 120,000 miles, and still it has no noticeable issues Therefore, I knew I wanted to stay with Honda. My Acura is the perfect size for me, now that I am an empty nester. The center console is not an issue at all. I had to get used to the push button technology, but times they are a changing. I have tons of room in the front seat. All in all I love it!

Every car reviewer seems obligated to bash Acura's track pad in favor of a touch screen. But the track pad works quite well and you get used to it quickly. I for one like reaching down to the pad as opposed to reaching up to a screen. I do agree with you on the transmission buttons and driving mode button: those are gimmicky and unnecessary... although if you criticize the RDX for having them I'd point out that the brilliant NSX does as well.

I also had concerns about the track pad, but once you get things set up to your preference, it's not hard to live with. Things like controlling audio volume, navigating through your music choices, answering the phone can be done on the steering wheel. Also Apple CarPlay is easy to use and voice controls work well. As pointed out, the HVAC system and seat heating/ventilation are done with hard buttons. And the HUD is fantastic!
