    The 2021 Acura RDX Tech: before you buy

    CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Acura RDX Tech for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2021 Acura RDX Tech, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

    Before you sign for the RDX

    NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 116 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, engine and service brakes; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

    The figures, translated

    The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with a 10-speed automatic, drives it. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

    Combined fuel use is 9.8 L/100 km: about 29 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $51.45 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles.

    Is it right for your trip?

    It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

    What the RDX is like

    The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

    A longer test drive

    Try the RDX on your commute, then decide. If the RDX is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week with the RDX answers more than any brochure.

    Year and trim

    If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the Tech with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

    What it costs to run

    Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $171.50 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.15 in fuel.
