Total width with mirrors
Total width with mirrors
I tried searching, but didn't see this one. Does anyone know the actual width of the RDX WITH the side mirrors? I'm looking for an actual measurement, not a guess. I don't know why Honda/Acura doesn't list this. I would think anyone needing to know the width would need it with the mirrors too.
I think the specs only list the body dimensions, not including the mirrors - 74.8". I've never seen the total width including the mirrors on any car.
But the mirrors are quite large. I have a standard 8' single garage but the opening is probably not 96" because there's the door jam and aluminum capping. When I pull into the garage, I have to have the car dead center because there is no more than 3-4" on either side of the mirrors.
I know you said you didn't want a guesstimate but 84-86" is the best I can do. There's no way to measure it with a tape measure.

I have a condo and the garage is small, only 90 inches wide. I'll need to go to the dealership with a tape measure, but thought someone here might already have it from being in a similar situation.
I've already mangled the aluminum capping on one side of garage with a mirror. Fortunately, no damage at all to the mirror.
My first gen Pilot was much roomier but a lot easier to get in the garage. Weird.

Did some searching myself and came up with the same results. Sorry! It looks like they all just repeat what Acura publishes. I can go out and measure how far the mirrors stick out in a little while if you’d like.
Have you considered folding in the mirrors when you garage it? I know it is a pain since they are manually folded. I garage my F150, and this is what I need to do to fit through the garage door.

I have an 8 foot wide garage door opening. The width of the RDX at the mirrors was a big concern for me also since the vehicle does not have electronic folding mirrors.. I went to the dealership and measured the width myself. 91.5".
With two people, and a tape measure...and with both front door windows open, we should be able to measure this distance...through the car. I'll see if my wife can help me do this measure for you when she gets home from work this evening.
Really?! Agh! Thank you for the info. Time to reevaluate.
Get a broomstick or long pole
Find some tape or a marker.
Place broomstick beside one side mirror. Mark the ground where it touches.
Place broomstick or long pole next to the other side mirror. Mark it on the ground.
Get in vehicle.
Turn ignition on.
Back up vehicle.
Turn ignition off.
Get out of vehicle.
Now - measure the distance between the two markers on the ground with a tape measure.

That seems like it would work as well as anything.
