So true about the touch pad.. once you get use to it.. set it and forget, i wonder how many times people keep touching their's. I hate finger prints on a touchscreen
With just a touch over 20 lbs of boost I think it's absolutely insane to run 87. Yes the computer will pull some timing to accommodate the lower octane fuel but it's not worth the risk.
Nice man im glad your enjoying it. Yeah i drove a MDX at dealership way too big. Actually very quiet for sure. RDX is my car inwanna get. Might go test drive one today. I like rhe 2022 so yeah im getting her used A spec of coures loaded.
@BCars_Garage yeah for sure. Just drive a 24 RDX A spec. What a awesome car. Fast and fun to drive. Super smooth. Love the interior 😍 👌 Simple I don't mind rhe touch pad.
I have a 2019 RDX advanced , the main camera above rear view mirror went out at 17000 miles , cost me $2300.00 to replace. Now I’m at 18000 miles and the suspension is bad , that’s going to cost me maybe $4,000. I’m retired so as you can see I don’t drive a lot . I do love this car but now looking for a new car that won’t have all the bells and whistles for things to go wrong. I’m very sad 😢 I’m looking at 2025 Toyota
Got the same spec but in grey and we had our back window pop just like your in our driveway. Dealership wont cover it under defeat and no open recall on that glass yet, which from so many people have similar issue should be a recall.
If there's other dealers in your area maybe try a different one. I was off warranty for it but they said they're aware of the issue sent an email to acura and they agreed to cover the replacement cost. This is a common issue that should be a recall very soon I hope
Glad I found this video. I’m in Canada and planning to buy a used RDX from 2019-20-21 model years. I was told that 2019-20 has some issues as it was redesigned. 2021 was better and 2022 and later will be the best one to buy. Do you think buying a 2020-21 has some serious issues that’s expensive to fix? I think it being a higher Honda, shouldn’t be that expensive. And other than regular oil changes what else do you need to keep it running fine?
It's been virtually trouble free for me. They always say not to buy the first year of a redesign just incase it has issues. I think as long as you do the basics regular oil changes, air filter etc you'll get many trouble free miles imo. If you get a 20 to 21 you'll have lots of warranty left just incase anything expensive happens. Most parts aren't that expensive on these but it's the electronics that usually have issues with all the newer vehicles these days.
@@BCars_Garage Have you ever smelt oil or gas in your cabin? If yes how did you go about it? Is it oil leak or broken gasket or something else? I recently bought a CPO 2020 RDX ASpec in Ontario, Canada and I am smelling oil/gas sometimes when I accelerate hard or sometimes even while driving normally.
@SameepDalal I'd be hitting the dealership with that one that sounds to me like a leak of some sort as you should never smell oil or gas inside a newer vehicle. There's several things that could cause this. Any check engine lights on the dash?
@@BCars_Garage No Check engine light or anything on the dash. I tried to check for any leaks but there was none. Nothing under the vehicle on the floor or anywhere in the engine bay. I tried checking the oil level and I think It is higher than the top mark but I am no mechanic so I am not sure if I checked it correctly. The engine was warm when I checked, that might be the reason of high oil level.
@SameepDalal engine temp won't affect oil level. It's probably something small with no visual leaks and especially if it isn't throwing any engine codes. Keep an eye on it and see if anything changes.
What do you think of those red dials? I kinda don’t like them. Looks like it’s hard to read, but what do you think? Also it does pipe in the engine sound unfortunately. To me there isn’t a point in doing it.
@samosei8412 it's cheap insurance in my mind. All they did was update the computer and make the knock sensor more sensitive to pull more timing when a lower grade fuel is used. 91+ octane is cheap insurance on any boosted vehicle.
@@AcuraAddicted I did and glad I it as the head gasket went at 74k miles (120km) and it was thankfully covered it was an engine out ordeal so I can't imagine what that would have set me back
@lebojay I shook my head in disbelief when I saw the engine/trans on the floor. Tech said it was quicker and easier to pop the subframe out and have full access to the everything which makes sense but probably not how I'd go about it of it was me
@@BCars_Garagejust wondering how much that job end up costing you? Did you get any water leakage inside or was it an easy fix? Thinking about purchasing but worried after seeing car nut’s pano sunroof video lol.
So u haven't had rear glass issues? Or roof glass creaking? Nvm lmao They really need to recall the glass. My girlfriend is like " if that glass breaks while the babies are in there.. 😡" I'm like, yeaaa but it looks great tho 😅
That's the only real issue I've ever had I was sitting in the car and basically s*** myself when it shattered. The techs at acura were saying the rear window defrost makes a high frequency noise and supposedly that's what breaks the glass. I don't know if that's fact or fiction though
@@BCars_Garage lmao bruh I would also shit myself. I've had it's the defroster as well. But I live in a snow state so that sucks lmao. Acura replaced one warranty?
@@BCars_Garage Acura is trying too hard to be like ever other manufacturer. I owned a used Acura legend 1989 LS, of course it had a lot if miles on it and suspension was shot when i drove it. But to the point the car drove smoothly and shifted smoothly. The smooth v6 had a good amount of power, superbly comfortable and well appointed for its time. I finally bought a brand new 2011 MDX base and this car has been excellent, comfortable and reliable. Since it was the base model there sre no gimmick buttons or modes, just a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder engine with 300HP.
@danielmelendez9943 I'm not sure when they made this poor decisions but it's certainly hurting the brand. Also I owned a 92 Acura Legend and absolutely loved that car
Bought this car from Copart recently and shipped to UA, 2019 Advance trim. Love this car, unfortunatelly no auto-folding mirrors in the US version
There's some options I'm surprised they didn't cone with. That and the lack of heated rear seats was a surprise to me
I just bought one from IAA looking forward to driving it
@@BCars_Garagethe 2022 aspec advanced has the rear headed seats and auto folding mirrors, I bought one recently.
@dalejrfanforever8 heated rear seats are great

Deffinitly a spot that gets dirty, I think touch screens are something many people don't clean.
Great mention about 91 or better octane. Yes, this vehicle requires premium unlike what the gas cap states.
With just a touch over 20 lbs of boost I think it's absolutely insane to run 87. Yes the computer will pull some timing to accommodate the lower octane fuel but it's not worth the risk.
Running on regular fuel for 90k kms. No issue.
It's not required It's recommended

Sorry for your octane choice, 2022 and up is 91 octane recommended not required

So you have never changed the read diff fluid? 7500 ml change frequency.
Changed twice my understanding is a 30k change frequency though 7500 seems pretty often for a diff
Hopefully, you got extended warranty. You don't want to spend $5K on a new turbo when it inevitably fails.
@@AcuraAddicted I did and glad I it as the head gasket went at 74k miles (120km) and it was thankfully covered it was an engine out ordeal so I can't imagine what that would have set me back

Any sunroof popping when turning into a driveway at an incline?
No however the sunroof seal had to be replaced as that had popped out and wouldn't go back into place. A common issue on these
I noticed it on mine but I never knew where the noise was coming from
Sunroof frame bolts start to come loose causing popping noise. There is a service bulletin out from Acura for this problem.
@@BCars_Garagejust wondering how much that job end up costing you? Did you get any water leakage inside or was it an easy fix?
Thinking about purchasing but worried after seeing car nut’s pano sunroof video lol.
@PAPERandPENCILguy it was covered under warranty thankfully but I would imagine it's a pretty expensive fix though if I had to guess
Did you have to pay for the back window?
@spookybenzo836 thankfully no the dealer covered it
