Sure the GPS looks crunchy and dated but it's still one of the best in the car market. If it works and still gets you where you need to go, no need to change according to Acura. Besides it costs the company lots of $ out of pocket to update the entire GPS OS every year.
Now it’s 2019 my dad got the 2011 Acura RDX and we still own it it’s been 8 years and nothing has really broke only the ac system broke and everything else is still pretty good (now he’s saving up for a 2019 mdx)
Yeah I see what you are saying... But if you were looking @ a hyundai or kia, at lets say $25,000, you really won't be looking at a similarly equipped acura at almost $40,000. Also, the quality of the cars are different. For instance, why would you pick a BMW X5 for about $55,000 when you could get a Toyota Highlander, with a similar amount of power and amenities, for less than $40,000? The quality (and the name) really make the car.
@mokos23 true, i prefer the older grill. but honestly.. there are much better options right now. 2012 honda crv and 2013 mazda cx-5. both get great gas mileage. RDX has crap mileage and really isn't that luxurious.
It depends what you are looking for. Lexus has better reliability and mileage whereas Acura has a faster acceleration and better performance and a more spacious interior yet compact exterior. Mercedes has more luxury in it and towing capacity.
Great engine Fantastic drivetrain Crap tuning from the factory (explains the shitty mpg) Outdated 5 speed auto (also contributes to shitty mpg) Honda should drop this engine and sh-awd drive train w/ a 6 speed manual in a civic si. Almost guaranteed they'd own the sport compact segment again a la '99-'00.
Really, a Kia? This car really needs an update, due Next year. Still cheapest in the class though and it starts about 1,200 dollars cheaper than he said.
i love acura but when you think about hyundai and kia suv's they can compete with acura they have better navigation better layout of everything and looks very updated plus great engines and handling such on the new santa fe sport
@ename17 oh sorry, though i could.. just now i could swear i had 1m dollers invested in IBOVESPA, brazil´s stock market.. and that my father owned a 400m doller distribution comprany called "logon". but it must have been just a dream.
This has got to be one of the ugliest cars I've seen. I think it fits well with the styling of the Pontiac Aztek. They both looks like shit. The styling doesn't compare to its competitors, Audi, BMW, Lexus, or Mercedes Benz
a KIA competing with an ACURA?? no, i dont think so...
Which one do you think is better
@@jayasmrmore3687 acura is 10x better

Watch Chrisfix, he teaches you how to do simple mechanic work so you only have to go to the dealership for major repairs.
This car looks better with time!

@oldschool1 The price of this RDX warrants the price it would take to update every year. They haven't updated it in awhile. Just saying.
A Kia! Where dose that come in this segment a Lexus rx350
Do u think this a good first car ?
Can you off-road in this vehicle? Can you tow something heavy like a boat behind this vehicle?
I don’t have the touch screen 😢 what’s up with that lol
Mr. Cooley, can you review the new refreshed 2012 Honda Pilot? I want to know your impressions on the vehicle with a updated new gadgets.
I really love this guy, probably the best car reviewer I've encountered on here.
This guy needs his own channel!
@hondaftw1234 what's wrong with a kia again...?
@remelsheikh This car not in the same class FX. This would be best compared with the EX model.

Is this a 2wd or 4wd?
4wd, it’s called SH-AWD
2.34 turb... not bad at all.
@tjpark1111 def Kia has really stepped their game up over the last two years...
Great engine
Fantastic drivetrain
Crap tuning from the factory (explains the shitty mpg)

In 2013 they updated the ignition with a push button
@igeekone he didnt prove anything he just reviewed a car
Who is igeekone?
A 5-speed? No wonder it only gets 17/22
Most autos 17/22 this one 19/24 (city/hwy)
well their new 2013 rdx will be different and no more 4cylinder turbo.
Also in 2013 they shifted from an ignition start to a push button instead
5-speed auto... that's 2012 Acura/Honda tech. fuel efficient my ass.
review the 2013 Acura RDX, please!
damn acura update the damn thing.. nothing special about this thing. just buy a 2010
i love acura but when you think about hyundai and kia suv's they can compete with acura they have better navigation better layout of everything and looks very updated plus great engines and handling such on the new santa fe sport
The navigation system I don’t mind I just wish it updated on its own
Until the Korean car breaks down
1:41 lol... "and lots of additional sound sex"
The face looks just hideous...
Having said that I think i'm getting one, this thing it flies, damn so quick and nimble
this is cheaper
4th?
mace2142 Stupid ignorant comment.

Lamborghini Aventador.
I like it =
I'd get the kia!
the face looks awful

This proves yet again Acura has poor designers.
How?
Its an Acura, get off your high horse. Don't think so highly of yourself...... its an Acura lol.
What’s that supposed to mean? This is a luxury brand
@@jayasmrmore3687 Exactly ! 🤦🏽♀️😂
@@RomanRevenge101 Acura is a good vehicle. Every luxury has disadvantages and advantages.

Then this vehicle is not for you.
have to be rather stupid to buy acuras.
Why?
@@jayasmrmore3687 idk was younger
MACE maybe so. I own the vehicle and it is a nice drive.
