2013 RDX Base Reliability/Major Issues?
Hi All,
Considering purchasing a 2013 RDX base model with 58K miles. Come full circle to Acura because being able to drive the car to 200K plus miles is important to me.
Was hoping some would be able to provide color if there are any major issues to be aware of. My research has turned up nothing major to this point. Appreciate any feedback or help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

By and large the RDX is a pretty safe bet in terms of lack of issues, they have a good reliability rating. Just do the transmission fluid changes as per the Maintenance Minder, this is one item not to be ignored. Go for it, you won't regret it.

Do a highway run and drive at a steady 60mph for a while then slightly accelerate. I bet you will notice it. Not a deal breaker, but that is a good way to see if it bothers you.

I've tried all the ways mentioned in several threads but could not feel any vibration so far. May be my RDX doesn't have VCM activated.

Only time I notice it is on the highway at steady speed and just slightly letting off the gas, it's a VERY subtle jarring feeling when the cylinders are de-activated. In 6 months of ownership I have noticed it all of 2 or 3 times.

As you can see nothing is major deal breaker.
Good luck in your search.
