I love my 2020 RDX A Spec. Identical to the one in the video. Perfect car for a young dad who wants something sporty and doesn't look like a soccer mom's car. Plus it's huge inside which is a must for a stroller and groceries.
May Of 2019 I got a great deal on a 2019 RDX with 2000 miles on it for my wife. Here we are a year later and it has less than 4000 miles on it. Thanks to retirement and Covid-19.
The Buick Envision 2.0T is putting down a faster 27.5s figure-8 time vs 2019 CX-5 2.5T and 2019 RDX 2.0T at 27.7 in Motor Trend testing. That continues in an Emergency Lane test by Consumer Reports that has the Envision 2.0T doing 55.5 mph while the CX-5(non-turbo) did 54 mph and the RDX 2.0T can only go 52.5 mph. For 2019 Envision 2.0T gets a new 9-speed and 295 lb-ft of torque, 316 lb-ft of torque on overboost. The twin clutch and torque vectoring AWD is something that Mazda cannot match only able to use brakes on a single on a wheel for torque vectoring. The Hiperstrut, as also seen on Honda Civic Type-R as dual axis strut, eliminates any torque steer under accleration. At a discounted $35K the Envision Prem ll offers heads up display, adaptive high beams and articulating HID, adaptive cruise control with full stopping, tri-zone climate control, sliding rear seat, 12-volt outlet, along with Buick's longer warranty than Mazda.
The only flaw in my 2020 RDX Advanced SH-AWD is the touch pad isn't always responsive. My solution though is simple: I use Apple Car Play to control Apple Maps, Apple Music, Apple (audio)Books and Apple Podcasts almost entirely with voice commands: "Play my music"; "Navigate to XYZ"; Play XYZ audiobook"; "Play XYZ podcast." Overall the RDX is a terrific car priced thousands under the competition. Highly recommended.
for everyone hating on Dual screens, I don’t know how many times i have been distracted by the navigation screen being squeezed into the main screen and having to adjust my eyes on my Toyota. Also for everyone “waiting” for 2021 re-designed MDX...just know it WILL come with a bigger price tag. Scoop up those 2020 MDXs if you are a true Acura fan and don’t want a Navigation squeezed into just one screen, Acura fan all the way, just bought my third one! at a HUGEEEE DISCOUNT!
Amazing that my 19 y.o. ‘02 Subaru WRX wagon has basically the same performance and room/cargo capacity in a 1000 lb lighter package. Obviously this has far greater safety, tech and comfort but for day to day driving this is not really that far of a jump for 20 years. At only 72k original miles I’ll keep mine for a while longer thank you very much!
No, I agree! I also hate that about most vehicles nowadays, entirely too many buttons in that "Center stack". In fact, my Ridgeline is quite the opposite. Very few buttons and straight forward center stack. I love that about it!
● The system is confusing to use even when the RDX is parked, and it’s very distracting for drivers when the car is moving. For example, they’re forced to look at the screen to execute common audio tasks, and some adjustments are buried deep in submenus. We think it requires too much concentration, multiple steps and extended time with eyes off the road and hand off the wheel. It’s one of the worst systems that we’ve encountered recently. ●Braking performance is strong but the brake pedal has a spongy feel. The suspension quashes most bumps, but we found the ride to be rather firm and choppy. The cabin is quiet, barring a somewhat grainy engine noise. ●We got 22 mpg overall in our tests, which is average for the category, and no better than what we measured with the V6 in the previous-generation RDX. This figure also trails the performance from competitors’ small turbo engines, such as Audi, BMW, and Lexus. ●posting 52 mph through the course. Acura makes a big deal about its Super Handling AWD, which only comes into play when drivers accelerate through a corner. ●Most bumps are absorbed well, but the RDX has a jittery feel over rougher roads and on long drives. ●Most of the time the cabin is very quiet, but a coarse engine hum punches through under acceleration. It’s acceptable when driving aggressively, but annoying in everyday driving ●The brake pedal feels as if it isn’t responding at first, and it requires a bit of effort, which can make the driver feel less-than-confident. ●Although it’s nicely finished, the materials and build quality don’t quite match the best SUVs in this class. For example, the storage cubbies aren’t lined, there were some uneven panel gaps on the center console, and one of the dash vents didn’t move as freely as the others. Finally, there are plenty of soft-touch surfaces throughout the cabin, but the material on the upper dash and window sill is quite thin. ●The RDX’s controls are among the worst we’ve experienced. There is a steep learning curve to use the infotainment system, but it is still distracting and confusing to execute common audio functions even after drivers have some familiarity. The system is slow to load after the initial start up.

I love a red interior. I have a BMW X6 black exterior with red inside. I have not gotten tired of it yet. It’s actually the reason I’m watching this video.
@@CarlaWalters I actually like red interiors also, but it gets tiring because manufacturers try to put them in every car. BMW is the original red interior in my opinion.

@@normt5463 Also, Acura (Honda) is by far more reliable than any GM product. And this is coming from someone that owned an Outlook, Acadia and now Enclave. The best was the outlook, Acadia had the engine module replaced at 23k miles, the outlook 2 coils failed at like the 45k mile mark, and had random issues, small but quite often, so far the Enclave is doing OK, but it only has 32k miles and is still under warranty, reason for buying those cars? Interior space, they are bigger and I like the style more than the explorer, but the wife drives it, Kids are grown up now and don't need that much room now, so this Acura looks very good.

@@normt5463 I find a touch screen much more distracting and even a knob. The Acura's touch pad is much easier as it is direct touch. I have it all memorized and did it quite quickly. Works the same way as a laptop track pad, can use it without even a thought. I can keep my eyes on the road, the screen is a lot higher up than most cars. Other cars have their screen a lot lower forcing me to look down and take my eyes off the road.
@@ssaini5028 But Acura’s new True Touchpad interface, which serves as the primary control for the infotainment console, drew some fire. “After meandering into a desolate area out of range of any cell service, I tried searching for a ramen place nearby,” daily news editor Conner Golden said. “Five minutes later, I couldn’t make sense of the trackpad-based system, which was overly sensitive and then immediately unresponsive. I gave up and drove toward town until I regained service.” Automobilemag

2019 RDX Owner. The Entertainment software SUCKS! It crashes, won't change functions, won't respond to input, Android Auto is non-existent. The lane keep assist is horrid. And the new breaks squeak ( service says it's a know issue ). Don't buy this POS until they fix these basic issues. Engine and AWD are good though.
It’s not all it’s cracked up to be!!! Overly technological yet under simplified! It’s is fast though! The nav system is horrible...especially when the dealer tells you to use your cell instead! My next lease will be a BMW!
Motor Trend says the RDX 2.0T is slower than the 2019 QX50 2.0T with it's new engine from the Accord 2.0T is putting out more in the compact SUV. "...The 268-hp crossover recorded a 0-60 mph time of 6.6 seconds and a 15.1-second quarter mile at 91.6 mph. That's a good bit slower than the last 280-hp Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport we tested but slightly quicker than the 272-hp Acura RDX A-Spec." So C&D 6.6 second 0-60 mph was correct on calling it a Bspec or Cspec. Even Consumer Reports's 7.0s 0-60 was also correct. No sub 6-second time for RDX 2.0T.
The selfie camera doesn't work. Terrible production, a big fail. What you said to your baby is correct; "Not hardly working". No point in putting out a video like this.

Honda/Acura is so far behind they had to find someone to invest in. So GM was the wise choice for AV and EV tech. Honda’s own self-driving development program isn’t close to anything like that. The company said last year that it likely won’t release its first Level 4 self-driving system until 2025. (A “Level 4” system is one that is limited, typically to areas that have been carefully mapped. You can learn more about the “levels” of autonomous-vehicle technology here.) Motley Fool

Scoop up those 2020 MDXs if you are a true Acura fan and don’t want a Navigation squeezed into just one screen, Acura fan all the way, just bought my third one! at a HUGEEEE DISCOUNT!
This looks way better than the first generation!
Such a dad...love it
Amazing that my 19 y.o. ‘02 Subaru WRX wagon has basically the same performance and room/cargo capacity in a 1000 lb lighter package. Obviously this has far greater safety, tech and comfort but for day to day driving this is not really that far of a jump for 20 years.
At only 72k original miles I’ll keep mine for a while longer thank you very much!
I must be getting old cause Im starting to hate how complicated they’re all starting to look. It’s like a cockpit of a commercial airplane!
No, I agree! I also hate that about most vehicles nowadays, entirely too many buttons in that "Center stack". In fact, my Ridgeline is quite the opposite. Very few buttons and straight forward center stack. I love that about it!
monzx3 dont forget the stiff seats and low profile rims that plague most modern vehicles. Man I wish those days where things were couches on wheels.
K. Theodos I feel you!
I own this vehicle and I think the interior is super easy to use everything is within reach its really nice.
● The system is confusing to use even when the RDX is parked, and it’s very distracting for drivers when the car is moving. For example, they’re forced to look at the screen to execute common audio tasks, and some adjustments are buried deep in submenus. We think it requires too much concentration, multiple steps and extended time with eyes off the road and hand off the wheel. It’s one of the worst systems that we’ve encountered recently.
●Braking performance is strong but the brake pedal has a spongy feel. The suspension quashes most bumps, but we found the ride to be rather firm and choppy. The cabin is quiet, barring a somewhat grainy engine noise.
●We got 22 mpg overall in our tests, which is average for the category, and no better than what we measured with the V6 in the previous-generation RDX. This figure also trails the performance from competitors’ small turbo engines, such as Audi, BMW, and Lexus.
●posting 52 mph through the course. Acura makes a big deal about its Super Handling AWD, which only comes into play when drivers accelerate through a corner.
●Most bumps are absorbed well, but the RDX has a jittery feel over rougher roads and on long drives.
●Most of the time the cabin is very quiet, but a coarse engine hum punches through under acceleration. It’s acceptable when driving aggressively, but annoying in everyday driving
●The brake pedal feels as if it isn’t responding at first, and it requires a bit of effort, which can make the driver feel less-than-confident.
●Although it’s nicely finished, the materials and build quality don’t quite match the best SUVs in this class. For example, the storage cubbies aren’t lined, there were some uneven panel gaps on the center console, and one of the dash vents didn’t move as freely as the others. Finally, there are plenty of soft-touch surfaces throughout the cabin, but the material on the upper dash and window sill is quite thin.
●The RDX’s controls are among the worst we’ve experienced. There is a steep learning curve to use the infotainment system, but it is still distracting and confusing to execute common audio functions even after drivers have some familiarity. The system is slow to load after the initial start up.
I have maps and carry them in the map pockets behind the seats!

The Buick Envision 2.0T is putting down a faster 27.5s figure-8 time vs 2019 CX-5 2.5T and 2019 RDX 2.0T at 27.7 in Motor Trend testing. That continues in an Emergency Lane test by Consumer Reports that has the Envision 2.0T doing 55.5 mph while the CX-5(non-turbo) did 54 mph and the RDX 2.0T can only go 52.5 mph.
For 2019 Envision 2.0T gets a new 9-speed and 295 lb-ft of torque, 316 lb-ft of torque on overboost. The twin clutch and torque vectoring AWD is something that Mazda cannot match only able to use brakes on a single on a wheel for torque vectoring. The Hiperstrut, as also seen on Honda Civic Type-R as dual axis strut, eliminates any torque steer under accleration. At a discounted $35K the Envision Prem ll offers heads up display, adaptive high beams and articulating HID, adaptive cruise control with full stopping, tri-zone climate control, sliding rear seat, 12-volt outlet, along with Buick's longer warranty than Mazda.

Hahaha, good baseball referee
HIlarious opening
You have less and less views every video.
Dinu G that’s impossible. How’s your channel doing?
That’s odd because my earnings are up? Maybe you know something I don’t :-)
@@everymandriver I didn't say that to disrespect you.
I remember a time when you had alot of views for your videos but now, they are very low.
Congrats if you are still doing money or doing "more".
@@EnduranceHour so you answered me with both of your accounts? Lol 👍
Everyman Driver Great reply! Been watching you for a while.....keep going! Let the haters hate.
Looks good on the outside.
Inside is so plastic it's not what Acura stood for.
Sorry Toyota Highlander is the only smart choice
U look like the guy on the news that couldnt calculate a quarter of an hour
2019 RDX Owner. The Entertainment software SUCKS! It crashes, won't change functions, won't respond to input, Android Auto is non-existent. The lane keep assist is horrid. And the new breaks squeak ( service says it's a know issue ). Don't buy this POS until they fix these basic issues. Engine and AWD are good though.
I have a 2020 with none of the problems you cite above.
Which trim do you have?
@@reddz80 Advance Package.
I have maps.
Good for you.
It’s not all it’s cracked up to be!!! Overly technological yet under simplified! It’s is fast though! The nav system is horrible...especially when the dealer tells you to use your cell instead! My next lease will be a BMW!
Motor Trend says the RDX 2.0T is slower than the 2019 QX50 2.0T with it's new engine from the Accord 2.0T is putting out more in the compact SUV.
"...The 268-hp crossover recorded a 0-60 mph time of 6.6 seconds and a 15.1-second quarter mile at 91.6 mph. That's a good bit slower than the last 280-hp Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport we tested but slightly quicker than the 272-hp Acura RDX A-Spec."
So C&D 6.6 second 0-60 mph was correct on calling it a Bspec or Cspec. Even Consumer Reports's 7.0s 0-60 was also correct. No sub 6-second time for RDX 2.0T.

The selfie camera doesn't work. Terrible production, a big fail. What you said to your baby is correct; "Not hardly working". No point in putting out a video like this.
Stephen Jones you’re so funny, I appreciate a person with a sense of humor, I can tell that you’re just being funny and not trying to be offensive, critical or rude. Have a great day.
Honda/Acura is so far behind they had to find someone to invest in. So GM was the wise choice for AV and EV tech.
Honda’s own self-driving development program isn’t close to anything like that. The company said last year that it likely won’t release its first Level 4 self-driving system until 2025. (A “Level 4” system is one that is limited, typically to areas that have been carefully mapped. You can learn more about the “levels” of autonomous-vehicle technology here.) Motley Fool

This may seem trivial, but I hate the huge insignia on the front grill. It's so ugly just like the Mercedes.
