Hello,

How many miles do you all put on your RDX per month? I wasn't doing many miles on my previous vehicles, however, since I leased this 21' RDX, I've done 800 miles this month! Yikes! Anyway, just curious how many miles you all drive per month/year?

 

About 300 to 600 miles per month. Low due to lockdown. Should increase to my normal average of 600 per month.

 

My lease is for 36 months 15k miles per year, so the results are 15K miles in 32 months = 468.75 miles per month = 5625 miles per year

The current lease payoff is ~28K and CarMax will purchase for 34K. Thats a win for me since I want to get rid of it and no way I am just turning it in to Acura.

 

About 300 mi/mo so far...seven months and just over 2100 mi. About half our average of the past few years. We're retired so no commute and no road trips the past year. ..hopefully that'll be changing soon.

 

So far 227 miles per month, after about 33 months of ownership.

So, I take it you’re going to buy it out after the lease? I’m pretty confident I will too, so I’m not too concerned about the mileage.

 

Hard to tell with me. The entire average is about 900 a month, but that includes two 2600 mile round trips to Florida. As an owner, not a leaser, I get in and drive.

The wife’s car is doing around 5,000 a year.

 

I'm pretty sure we are going to buyout the lease. We can buy it at the end of the lease for $26,500. I honestly don't think that's bad for a 3 year-old vehicle with 30k on it. I really like the vehicle, and I think it would be a great SUV to keep.

 

About 900 per month. We use the RDX for most of our driving, but also split some of the mileage between my F150 (most longer vacation driving is with the truck) and my wife’s Accord.

 

Do you live somewhere on the east coast? Never heard anybody drive that little as much as I do.

 

Nope, we live(d) in Reno. We drove our 2008 528 to Vegas, gave it to our daughter and bought the 2019 RDX, then drove it back to Reno. We just recently moved back to Vegas (Henderson) after a 7 year absence, so the Vegas to Reno, Reno to Vegas trips have been the only 2 car trips for the RDX. Otherwise, yeah, we don't drive a lot. Some of that has been that we have other vehicles (a 2003 Accord EX with about 70,000 miles on it which my wife uses for work---which is about 320 miles per month I think---so theres some!) There are things about the RDX I really like, and things I don't. The Infotainment is a non-like. The other issue I have, and why we don't drive it too much, is trust, and the trust is in the 'safety' systems. I have now had three episodes, when starting to exit a freeway, the safety system, for the lack of a better description, has 'activated', I think it is believing I am about to smash into the median between the freeway and the offramp. The orange panel saying 'brake' lights up, but far worse, the car applies the brakes pretty hard. Hard enough that if anyone were pretty close behind me, I would be getting rear-ended. It's only 3 times in almost 3 years, but it's 3 times too much given what it is doing. When you are going 65, albeit slowing down, and the brakes suddenly gone on by themselves, it's a bit much. It literally scares the hell out of me, and passengers...who think I am doing it, which I then have to explain. I am not close to the median, I am not anywhere outside the lines that guide you off the freeway, I am not doing anything but exiting. In the world of infotainment/safety-systems/electronic stuff...this has all been a disappointment. I do enjoy driving the car overall and if not for the aforementioned it would certainly have more miles on it than it does. I just feel I really have to keep 'spidey-senses' up when behind the wheel in case the car wants to go into heavy brake. And maybe when knocking on the door of 65, those senses aren't what they used to be necessarily. Wow...long answer....sorry!

 

That's pretty scary about the brakes being applied like that. I have yet to experience it, but now I'm kind of apprehensive about it. I did have it happen once on my old Mazda CX-5, but that's because it didn't like how close I was to someone braking - not just out of the blue. I hope I don't experience this since most of my driving is highway!

 

Over the course of my entire life, I have driven 1,000 miles per month with amazing consistency. Every car I've owned had approximately 12 K miles on the clock for every year I owned it. Give or take 1000 miles.

 

Well, you live on the Island, of course you drive all over the place.

How you gonna cruise the Miracle Mile if you don’t drive?

 

You can't get anywhere from here. You have to go someplace else first.

 

Except Jones. You can “get there from here”.

 

Why want to get rid of?


I drive 1200 miles per month. So should be about 13k miles per year. Single car shared for whole family. We want to use it as much as possible, did not purchase to keep it parked in the garage.

Im at about 17K miles currently.
