Auto loans: the 2024 Acura RDX Tech

No 2024 Acura RDX Tech is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2024 Acura RDX Tech, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 12 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, service brakes and seat belts; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Reading the spec sheet

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Its combined rating is 10.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 31 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $17.85 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Good uses for the RDX

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the RDX answers the big questions.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Narrowing it down

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
