Car leasing: 2019 Acura RDX Tech in Java

Thinking of buying the 2019 Acura RDX Tech?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2019 Acura RDX Tech for sale by us right now. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. This page puts the 2019 Acura RDX Tech in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

A buyer's checks

Owners filed 440 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, visibility/wiper and engine; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

What the specs mean

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

It is rated 9.8 L/100 km combined: about 29 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $17.15 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Good uses for the RDX

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

What to expect from the RDX

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Rent it for a week first

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the RDX for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the RDX first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Narrowing it down

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. 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.

A note on Java

If you need it in Java itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help. We have no location in Java; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 1,639 km away.
