Are Acura RDX 2012 reliable cars. Looking at one 89k miles thanks
If its FWD and the automatic transmission has been taken care of they can be good SUVs, but don't get the AWD ones and have a mechanic check it out
They are pretty much bullet proof. My sister has had a 2011 since one year old and she's never had a major repair now with 125K miles.
The AWD system is also superior to the next generation RDX although they are not as smooth driving as the next generation RDX. There is some very noticable turbo lag
2012 was the last year of that RDX generation (2007-2012) which is good too as generally by then the bugs would have been worked out.
Also per carcomplaints.com, for that generation 2012 had the least issues reported :
