The 2020 Acura RDX A-Spec Is A Great Car With Frustrating Tech!

I’d say this vehicles it’s not for baby boomers. It’s more like the millennials.

The console is odd. But what no one mentions is that it creates a large storage space under it.

So , you're saying comfort mode doesn't soften the ride/suspension?

It's fun watching this today when inflation and covid made 37k worth nothing and car like this is now starting at 50k +

Ahahahahah. Classic ford guy. This guy doesn`t even know, What is the Tech and how to use it. Don`t slander the Japanese masterpiece.

Lmao people make a big deal out of the infotainment system. Have these people even used the shitty mazda, mercedes, BMW infotainment? This is an amazing car. Cheaper than the competition, more reliable, a lot of cargo space, one of the most powerful in its segment. Only downside is MPG is not the greatest.

I love your sunglasses, do you have the exact model name of your Ray Ban?

This guy is just SLOW🤪

It’s so easy, I learned it in a day! I’m 64? If you have a problem, your making your own problem

Please disclose the lousy mileage this vehicle milage gives you. 16.6 miles per hour on the highway. What a horrible disappointment.omg. give us real numbers

Buy it. Turn it. Lol

No such thing as too much tech in my books 📚

Just bought one just took me a few hours to get use the infotainment system and gps. Must be idiots if you can’t figure it out. These journalists always trying to find something wrong with the car.

I have a 2021 Acura RDX advanced package. Admittedly, not having a touchscreen is just shortsighted, but with a little practice the screen interface becomes second nature. The advanced package has a nice HUD that makes interacting with functions of the interface much easier. The transmission selector is another example of over engineering that sacrifices ergonomics. I’ve had the RDX for 5 months and still have to look down to shift. I really like the RDX despite some of the quirky feature. The RDX is quite, comfortable and astonishingly quick and fun to drive!

So there’s nowhere for a spare tire?

Acura been going down hill since 2015. Already having problems with my 2020 RDX and it only has 9000kms.
I have an older Honda with 250,000 kms, never done anything but regular maintenance. Dealer service is awesome and they always have my back, but Honda/Acura manufacturer’s support is awful.

I have 2020 RDX A-Spec and LOVE IT LLOVE IT LOVE IT...Sorry I'm not sure what the heck are you talking about???It's about safety thats why they don't want a touch screen specially when driving.
I Had BMW before and love driving it but Im loving my A-spec

I'm in the market for a new vehicle. Watched tons and tons of various reviews. Your review is the most negative and your focus was around the infotainment area of which will vary from person to person. Some of your facts are off and there wasn't even a road test.

Horrible dash controls

The Chevy Traverse is so much better

Really frustrating video; it took over 1/3 of the way through before he started to make his “point,” which was poorly supported.

I've put 2,000 miles on my 2020 RDX Advanced, and the tech is not confusing. It's intuitive. The touch pad loses some responsiveness if your skin is very dry, but that's a minor flaw since I use Apple Car Play to control Apple Maps, Apple Music, Apple (audio)Books and Apple Podcasts entirely with voice commands.

Ferrari/Bugatti don't have gear selectors either, and I'm ok with pretending that I'm driving a Ferrari 😆😆

i heard 2019 RDX has issues , i am trying to buy 2020 RDX, anyone faced any issues with 2020RDX

Loved it, keep them coming!
Great video, I love your channel!
Spot on!

Nathan...so disappointed. All yours complaints are things that you can get used to. Don't knock a vehicle because of trivial stuff.

Got mine last night, don't get why peoples are affraids of the infotainment system super easy to get used to it ! Just like using a touchpad of laptop.

Bro, I have this car and have NEVER had this issue. Either you're legit throwing shade at the whole trackpad thing or your motor skills are atrocious.
Point is: NO ONE OTHER THAN YOU HAS EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM lol.

They did great with the tech imo.

With all that space you don’t need extra space underneath the floor ,I would have rather have a spare tire that could have fit there

It's not to much tech tha is is frustrating it's that Acura is frustrating. They are not a true luxury class anymore, and they no longer carry any prestige sincle they did away with the flagship Legend.

How can this Tech be difficult or frustrating for ANYBODY?
It is the easiest car to learn on the planet. I taught it to myself in ten minutes while driving the freeway!

Jesus you complain for every single thing ! I love my 2020 RDX ! As a grandpa like you this car is way to much soooo many this is why you don’t like all these new features 😎but they are amazing!

For the love of all that is good, NO TOUCH PADS ON A CAR

Does the Tesla have a gear shifter?

How much money did lexus and infiniti pay you?

I recently tested a Lexis 550 sedan with Mark Levinson sound. Tech was so complicated I almost ran off the road fickling with it. Horrid horrid horrid.

No love for this car at all.

I am tired of performance tire/wheel combos that destroy on road travel comfort. I wish TFL would do a show on this problem.

Why would you be touching the screen when you should keep your eyes on the road? The Mercedes and BMW have touch screen and I don't care for that because I feel it's the same effect you'll get as with your cell phone's screen., fingerprints all over. The only thing I don't like about the RDX is the fact that they don't have a wide variety of exterior and interior colors to choose from. I still haven't decided between the RDX, GLB and the BMW x1and x3.

looks like a lambo infotainment lol

Y'all are SO wrong about this car. It's disingenuous and also irresponsible to also not mention the massive reliability decrease across Honda and Acura, who are now worse than MINI. How about fuel dilution on the 1.5 engine?

WE BOUGHT ONE based on all the glowing press, and this is a problem car, from a manufacturer that is tanking in quality. Consumer Reports calls out the massive problems with this model since redesign, why don't you?

We bought a '20 tech in Jan '20 (2 mos ago) We've had the car 60 days and I'm on my 5th trip back to the dealer. I've never had this happen before. We're Honda/Acura loyalists, this being our 9th Honda/Acura vehicle and it's an embarrassment to the brand.

Within the first month we had to have lower control arm bushings replaced, which is a known problem that they're still not repairing but selling this way. The brakes constantly squeal and there's no TSB, so no resolution. The lift gate was misaligned and damaged the tailgate trim and the Acura rep wants to "sand down the clear-coat" to smooth the damage versus replacing the trim - on a NEW car, and it has the worst leather seat upholstery stitching and assembly I've ever seen.

It's also a gas guzzler, averaging 17.5 in mixed driving and only 20 or 21 on 500 mile highway drive. It doesn't even approach the EPA numbers on the window sticker, EVER. All the complexity of a four cylinder turbo w/10 speed transmission to get what MPG? Huh? My pick up truck does better!

The only bright side is that the dealer is great, but they can't make up for a poorly designed and manufactured vehicle.

There are much better choices. Save yourself from the mistake we made, look at something else. There's already one class action suit for this redesigned model. Buyers beware.

Just got a 2020 rdx. Only an idiot would have any issues using the TouchPad. By the sounds of it - you must be one of them. Took me 15 minutes to set it up and use. Go buy a 2010 civic.

And the fact that it doesn’t come with a spare tire is a big turn off

I feel like it’s a little too high tech.... i don’t like the gear shifter

Its like apple getting rid of the headphone jack, people will get used to the way smaller and better looking button shifter.

Can anyone tell me how to turn on the daytime running light the way it flash rapidly at the 28" mark in this video? I got a new 2020 RDX and trying to find out how to make the lights flash like that. appreciate any tip!

Total luddite bullshit. This is something new so some people lose their shit because new is scary. It's like every time Microsoft updates Windows and people say it now sucks. I sat in this car and within 15 minutes had a good working knowledge of the system... I'm in my sixties. Only dinosaurs will have a problem with this scary new UX and they're better off just keeping their old Buick. This video is HIS opinion and sales of the RDX indicate that many people disagree. I'm getting mine soon.

Add 360 camera as standard! Wtf!

The center console is confusing at first. But I sat in the car worked the controls. After 30 min it all made sense and it’s no problem. Like a smart phone U just have to sit down and learn to use it!
