I love Acura’s! I have a 2016 MDX and it performs so well. Unfortunately, it’s a bit too sporty for the family even on Comfort Mode, but I love driving it. It’s fast and nimble. Hoping to get this A-Spec or I’ll prob wait for the S or R-Spec, for my own when my lease is up. Stay Tubed!!
If an MDX is "too sporty" you should be driving a Honda Odyssey, you'd love it. Also there may be a sportier version of the RDX but it hasn't been confirmed, it will be a long wait till we get one. Had an MDX, was great, have an RDX a spec right now and it handles much better but it isn't as fast, interior isn't as high quality, though nothing beats the sound system until you get into Mercedes and Audi highest end Burmester and Bang and Olufsen
Hey what's up man! Wondering what your favorite color/trim of this vehicle is? As a young man in his mid 30's I prefer the black exterior, red interior A-Spec!
@@Carguy1999Reviews I guess it's basically a one cut so relatively easy to edit! My editing probably takes 4+ hours per monthly video. I'm waiting on my winter tires to come in and very excited to see how the Tesla handles the snow :)
@@Carguy1999Reviews How smooth is this ride? How is the braking? I have not had a chance to test drive yet. Does the stereo system really pop? How did the acceleration feel? I felt the horsepower should be ramped up a bit.
@@rayennis3221 let me put it this way, it is the best suv I have driven. The stereo is like being at a concert. It is insane. The braking is very nice, and the pedal iss not too sensitive. The acceleration is pretty nice, a good amount of pull for this kind of car. The entire time driving the car, I was not begging for more power. It does not feel as fast as my focus st, but it is still pretty good
@@Carguy1999Reviews Thanks man! I heard Acura is releasing all of its models with type R in upcoming years. Do you have a better idea of when this will happen ? Worth buying this Acura now or waiting for type R ?
@@Carguy1999Reviews I'm planning on leasing this car and feel like the dealership is going to rip me off they want me to pay $480 a month with 4K down including taxes. What do you think a fair deal would be around? I am not familiar with cars and how much they cost so this will be very helpful. I appreciate it.
@@KickingIt-In-the-Kitchen that seems a bit high to me for a payment, especially with 4k down. I would aim and negotiate to 350-400. Also, check out leasehackr.com. you can input all the information about the lease and talk to experts to see what would be a fair payment. 480 is not terrible for a 50k car, I would just try to get the payment as low as possible. Find out the buyout price of the car, subtract that price from the msrp or selling price of the car, and make sure the amount you pay in payments through the whole lease does not exceed that number. Best of luck!
Defenitely perfect dad car, I as the son look forward to driving it since it's sporty and the sound system is amazing but my dad likes it for those reasons and practicality
Things i hate about this car : 1) Real Fuel economy 15.9 city. 2) The buttons for the transmission are not intuitive at all. the other day I pressed drive instead of park and almost had an accident. Its nothing like your standard sifter where you rely on your muscle memory. Here, you have to always pay attention what you press.... 3) Auto Idel Stop I cant turn it off permanently and every time i start the car i have to press a button to turn it off. 4) Rubbery brakes. It feels like this car is too heavy for the brake pads. I like my brakes more precise. 5) I hate the fact that this car does not support Android Auto. For about 6 month Acura can not come up with update. I have had it and at this point the car is for sale
I really don't like your review. Why didn't you go into more of the interior details infotainment..etc. and then you took a drive with the dealer? You didn't sound like you really knew the car that well had to read the sticker..?
Interior colors a disgusting black or Spiderman red. But the aspect is awesome the wheels and tires on this model make a huge difference in road feel. Too bad the interior is gaudy and dark.
I must correct myself. The name of the color is apex blue pearl, not a-spec. Thanks for watching!
just bought one black exterior red interior it is so amazing hands down best car i have even driven videos and pictures do this suv NO justice
That's exactly the one I want. The black one with red leather seats.
The A-spec and Advanced trim came with 16 speakers and 710 Watts not 440 W. The lower trim tech has that. I got the A-spec and love this suv/cuv.
Stopped the vid at 9min.. I’m sold!
I so wish I had bought this car !
Great video! Keep it up! Acura RDX is a nice midsize crossover SUV.
Awesome video! Cannot wait to purchase this SUV.

Why pay 60-70k for an overpriced unreliable Audi Benz or Bmw when you can get this for 45k. The aspec looks better than most German suvs in my opinon
I love Acura/Honda. One of these may be what I upgrade to after I pay off my brand new 2019 CR-V.
is the rear seat heated?
Great review, very well spoken and very well done. This seems like a really good dealership. Did you purchase this vehicle cash?
Thank you! I actually borrowed the vehicle from the dealer for the video. They are great people. I do not work with dealers that I do not like
Very well done!!!
Thank you!
why are u starting the review with the lift gate and back?????

This car is actually my favorite spec. Either this or white on red. Black looks great on this car as well! Just a matter of keeping it clean😂
References to snow.. did you just record this yesterday? fast turnaround!
Recorded this at 4pm Friday night, had it done by 9pm. I try to make the videos and upload within 24 hours in most cases

@@StalePhish oh yeah, normally I dont edit, so it is just download and then upload. Is the tesla awd?
Really nice video. It seems as if this particular color (Blue Pearl) changes shades? I have seen the same color car looking a shade of darker blue?
It does change shades based on the lighting. It is very cool to see in person
You probably saw a non-Aspec RDX which comes in a darker blue.
Nice review man! Would you say this vehicle is worth the price tag?
Thanks! Yes, I would. It is an awesome price for what you get

Hey man! How many miles were on this SUV ?
I believe about 5k. It is a loaner vehicle for the customers to use
