  • The 2023 Acura RDX is in a highly contested market where it can be difficult to outshone rivals. Yet, it's the RDX A-Spec Advance that combines the practicality and sensibility you love in a crossover, with the agility and athleticism found in an Alfa Romeo Stelvio. While being one of the older vehicles on the market today, is the 2023 Acura RDX the most underrated crossover in this segment? Well, here's 5 reasons why you should buy an Acura RDX in 2023.

    It’s a great car. We own a 2019 model and have had 0 issues. It’s big enough for our family to have comfortable road trips, fun daily driver to work with that quick turbo engine, it does good on mpg’s (we use premium 91 which we feel it helps) and for owning a base model, it comes with luxury features that other competitors do not offer unless you get an upgraded model. Although it’s not perfect All in all we are very happy with this vehicle

      The infotainment trackpad is rubbish when trying to use on bumpy roads and in heavy traffic. The CarPlay and AA integration is very poor as the Acura true touch system is not replicated and it is a swipe swipe swipe til you get the right icon to highlight and (hopefully) activate. You canuse voice commands and steering wheel for many things, but not as easy to use as regular touchscreen

      Think of Acuras more like an electronic artist pad, rather than a cursor. Once you learn it, you don't have to look down or focus too much on the screen to get it to do what you want
