Yes, I knew the ride on the RDX was firm, but didn't expect this rough. Nobody in the family will ride in the back seat. The combination of short wheelbase and stiff suspension will jar you to death when going over bumps on any road except for pristine asphalt. The expansion joints on concrete highways in the winter are particulary tough, seem to be spaced just right to get some wild bucking in the back seat. For a luxury style SUV, I'm not impressed.

Any thoughts on how to soften ride?

 

What year is yours? The 08's are supposed to be a bit softer. Also, running tire pressures a bit lower might help, but otherwise, there isn't much you can do.

It's really not that bad though, unless you are constantly hitting harsh bumps.

 

I did set my tire preasure to 28 psi, recommended was 32. It changed a lil bit but i agree with you about the expansion joints on concrete highways in the winter are particulary tough and its loud also!!

 

lol

 

The RDX is an enthusiast's ride.

Your answer is spelled L- E - X - U - S.

 

wow you didn't go for a family test drive before making your purchase? you my friend, have purchased the wrong car.

If you want a boat like feel, get a Lexus RX or any suv from the big 3 (or is it the small 3 lol).
