How's the brake dust?
So how much brake dust should I expect to see from this car? Hoping current owners can chime in. My Audi has horrific amounts, so I'm hoping the RDX will be better!

Years ago I too had an Audi, and just like most other German cars their brake dust is horrible. Suggestion: have an indi shop replace the Audi's OEM brake pads with CERAMIC pads and the brake dust issue will be solved.

Well hopefully I will be trading it in soon on a brand new RDX, so it will be a moot point.

Any owners out there who can report on how much brake dust they’re seeing?

Compared to my last car (a BMW 340i with the M-Sport brakes), there's virtually no brake dust

I did that on my A6 as soon as I got it. No noticeable dust after that. Acura brakes ar generally lower dust than the Germans. I did find my wifes 14 and her 16 RDX did dust a bit, more than my TLX.

i have a 2016 Audi and it has very little brake dust. I think it might have ceramic pads from the factory.
