This makes no sense and does not have any relevance to the discussion at hand.

And in 10 years every car will be electric...your point is? Ask any decent mechanic and they will tell you NOT to buy a Honda or Toyota product because they'll never see you again.

It's a turbo 4 cylinder so the engine is under significantly more stress during every day driving. It will not last as long as the older RDX with a V6. Honda has also had transmission issues on their newer models.

All new hondas and most brands are 4, so you're an idiot

NP. Just because they are all going to the small turbo motors does not mean they are as reliable as the older 6 cyl. They will all have issues, as the motors are far more stressed in day to day driving. I’d stay away from all of them.

+1, thank you...someone who actually understands cars.

And I'm sure you're a "car person" but you don't understand how turbos work, huh?

Manufacturers are moving to smaller displacement turbocharged engines because they get better ratings in the EPA cycle. A turbocharged engine has an inherently shorter service life than a naturally-aspirated one but the industry isn't left with much choice.

NP here and I am thinking of downsizing from my 2010 mdx and I just had my second child last month! You can’t easily access the third row anyways, and it’s a tiny joke so what’s the point! Do you think it’s still roomy enough for a family of four (two car seats)?

OP here. Thanks for your reply!

I'm concerned about complaints about the technology on Edmunds.com. Also, different sites say that Acura is no longer especially reliable.

Looking for reviews from anyone who owns a 2019 Acura RDX. I've heard some mixed reviews online. Thanks!
