You got a BMW turbo already🤣
Scotty doesn't buy new .lol let em age a bit then buy
Im thinking grand national Buick
Spank Themonkey fr. This Acura Scotty recommending is terrible unless it’s had a full rebuild. Turbo is a pain to replace on this vehicle. A decent one runs for $7500-$9k. The ones you see on Craigslist OfferUp etc are beaters falling apart for $2500 to $6k. 🤦🏻♂️
I told you V8s aren't dead.
Bought my 2007 RDX back in 2009 with about 23k miles. Beautiful car in and out. Now it’s at 201k miles. No major issues just regular oil changes and schedule maintenance and battery replaced. I agree with all Scotty has said. However….recently having issues with engine misfire. Lights on dash lighting up like Christmas lol. Hoping to get it fixed. With all things considered this car is pretty solid and reliable the last 14 years.
Hi Scotty, just wanted to say I always look forward to watching videos like these to further improve my knowledge with automobiles. Thank you for what you do, and keep doing your thing, we all appreciate it!
Ok but does it have FREEZING COLD a/c?
yes!
3:19
🥶Ahhhhh
Dale Gribble LOL
@@Clint328 lol
Yay! The RDX again!!!!
My 2007 RDX has 299,500 miles and runs like a top!!!!!!!!
Midnight Mystery wow 😳 Almost 300K.I have a 2008 Acura RDX tech awd 198,190 still runs good
@@irshangill7582 That's awesome!
Midnight Mystery thx
Does it have a good mog
I just bought a 2008 Acura RDX turbo tech Im really enjoying it it has 180,000 now Ive put alot of highway miles on it🥰
no i have a honda as my daily, i love saying “starts right up” like scotty. literally makes my day🤣
He changed his mind about the turbocharged engine after driving a turbocharged 1994 Celica.
The civic is not turbocharged. FYI
rick martin civic si, civic touring, and civic type r all have turbos
@@rickmartin1220 Civic and Celica are different.
i'll give any opinions he got on new cars, especially turbocharged ones, 3-6 months to check if he has a change in opinion before taking his opinions seriously
Would pay to see "how to turbo Celica edition"
I have 2008 RDX. I bought it 2 year old and I drive it for 12 years. 370K on it. Love it in general. All Pros are in the video. Cons are: bad on gas, air conditioner compressor got changed 3 times, turbo gasket gave me a huge problem once. But I put regular in it all the time before and after and it's fine. Also multiple interior "leather" parts needed to be changed or repaired. Noone can figure out the reason of battery drain for years, even though I have bluetooth disconnected. Voice recognition is a joke. Audio system makes some buzzy sound. Too hard to figure out some street names on the Navi.
On the turbo how did you know it was just the gasket and not the turbo itself? Did you get the dreaded P2263 error code for boost system performance? I've read a lot about it, but nobody who's been able to fix it, even after replacing the turbo I've heard it's come back.
Im going through the same😢
ever change the transmission fluid or still original?
Wow what a sharp looking, reliable, and usable suv. I wish more people were talking about these, seems like a way better option over the Nissan Rogue for the transmission/build and over the rav4 for price, better handling, and the extra power for the highway. Thanks for the recommendation Scotty
Acura/Honda 4 life! They go forever
*Acura/Honda/Toyota/Lexus!*
@@IDABAYAREA650I perfect formula
Honda K series engines love high RPM, easily modded with turbo without major modifications.
Yup honda acura toyota and lexus. Wont buy any other cars.
@@diegosilang4823 for real?...
Which models have that engine?
Beside regular oil change ($35 using Mobile1 and Fram ultra XG7317) and 3 new sets of tires. I spent less than $600 for all other fluid changes DIY for the last 14 yrs on my 2 RDXs. I agree with Mr. K, this is one of the finest 4cyl turbo cars that Honda built. This turbo is water/oil cool and was built by Mitsubishi Motors, not a Honda turbo, but it is excellent turbo.
What is real fuel conscumption autoban? 100km liter?
I love your content and it's very entertaining watching your videos!
I am originally from Bavaria and I am shocked at the low quality my people put into these new BMW and Mercedes cars.
I also just bought a 2008 toyota sequoia limited with 100,000 miles, what a great truck, can't wait to fix it up a little and do some maintenance to it to get it ready for the next 100k miles.
Just bought a 2011 RDX with 75k miles. Sounds like I found a deal!
Michael Rheinstrom , $11.9k. Not the best price but the car is in great shape.
I have a 2011 and love it!
Harvey N nice you found a good deal
i got an 08 with 67k
Got an 04 Acura TL with 85k km (52k miles) for 7.3k
Keep up the good work and thanks for all of your advice as I trust your opinions. Thanks!
And isn’t a typical awd system, super handling awd makes much more interesting dynamic wise. Gotta love these ones
Scotty should of floored it through a corner, you really feel the torque vectoring then
Exactly... It has that torque vectoring rear end... though most of the time, its just a front wheel drive-- minivan style.
If you want a dope awd grab a Volvo v8 or a jeep Cherokee with quadradrive II and v8.
I have drifted my RDX before!
1994 Celica comes with AWD 😉
SCOTTY IS A CAR WITH A TURBO CHARGER
Where can I buy a Turbocharged Scotty?? Used of course. 🤣😂🤣
@@josephtruben also gatta have freezing cold AC
He gets turbo flutter when he flails his arms around 🤣
So that's why I feel his laughter sounded familiar
Just a just amonth in since i bought a 2011 Acura RDX and absolutely love this vehicle..so fun to drive..my first non sedan even and RDX has been such an easy transition cause it handles so well, view is great almost no blind spots at all. Right off the hop I changed oil and engine air filter, tranny fluid drain n fill, transfer case fluid, and rear differential oil so i get a nice fresh start on this amazing used vehicle. Yes this video did help my decision, and im so glad i made it. Scotty was bang on, so happy with this purchase
Thank you Scotty for all the work you do and free intel
Thanks for the info
Must be the 157th car that Scotty bought
Did it change the game is the real question
Scotty buys them in theory, in reality he would take a dump on them
pro mechanics usually have so many cars, at my work place the master tech owns like 5 cars, and I've known mechanics that just like to buy them
@@hailcaesar6185 Yeah, but if Scotty actually bought every car that he said he was then his wife would probably want to strangle him lol.
I just picked up a 2010 for 8500 bucks. It is a BLAST to drive, and the motor on that thing is amazing.
Worked at an Acura dealership. Great quality manufacturer rep was always there talking with the service managers.
I own a 2011 RDX. Best car I ever bought!
I have same year and I agree!
Thank you Scotty this matches up well with one of your new videos
Scotty thanks for making me a moderator!
I love it been answering questions all day.
I see why you can’t always get to peoples questions, it’s like every five minutes there ar 50 new questions haha.
I have a 2011 RDX and love it. Has 131K and haven’t had issues which is awesome! Can’t wait for the Type S.
How are the price of repairs ?
@@kungfukenny1540 I’m at 141,000 miles now and I’ve only had oil changes and rotation of tires. I haven’t had any major repairs. The service I have had done has always been extremely affordable.
@@atmartens Thsnks for the info, I’m looking at a 2011 RDX FWD with 71k miles. It’s $15k, this will be my first car if I get it. Trying to make sure it’s a reliable car
@@kungfukenny1540 I understand! It’s a great car. I got mine four years ago with 72,xxx miles and I’m at 140K now. Mine does have SH-AWD which I love. I used to travel for work and it did really well. Even the 100,00 service wasn’t more than $500 at the Acura dealer. The only major repair was the HVAC blower needed replaced. The car market is wild right now. I paid $15K for my RDX at the Acura dealer (accident free, one owner). Good luck!
2021 A-Spec SH-AWD owner, Love this car!
My RDX has 235k miles on it and besides maintenance I have only had to replace the alternator and radiator and you can shift it manually with the paddle shifters
Uve answered my question. Honda/acura 4cyl vehs have alternator and ac system problems. My 07 tsx at 250k miles. It brraks a lot from 100k-220k miles.
You tell it like it is Scotty!! Thanks 👍 be safe in our crazy times.
24-hours after this video all low mileage versions of this crossover will be snapped up. LOL. Great video. Very interesting.
I had a 1997 Volvo 850 GLT (5cyl Turbo). It had 185,000 miles on it when I sold it. It ran great until I just stopped taking care of it. I had a Passat 1.8t that had 110,000 miles on it when I sold it and it ran great. You just have to do regular oil changes. Hopefully the direct injection cars will improve.
The RDX is a great car. Super reliable and fun to drive. Honda did well.
Thanks Scotty!
A "killer" stereo system, what a baller.
My dad just purchased a 2011 MDX Elite pkg and we love it. 100000km on it and very good condition. I know we can trust the Honda reliability.
Hi Scotty I appreciate your videos I have a 2019 Acura RDX I was just concerned about the turbo charged engine should I have any concerns? I had a 2003 Honda accord V6 EXL that lasted me 16 years
Freezing cold AC is a must “ahhhhhhhhh” 😂😂😂😂
I’ve been looking at these, and now I see Scottys got one I’m definitely getting one
My friend has one with 197,000 miles. Still drives very well.
This is my exact car but i have the white one. I love it, very sporty and mine is still driving great at 228,587 miles. Love my rdx definitely worth the 3k i bought it for!
I just got a 2011,150kmiles, I'm glad to hear that 228k is still running great. Is the Turbo system still original or any problems
@@tracywilder8914 I’m at 267 now
Just replaced the valve cover gasket.
I have changed my suspension to bc coilovers also. And I needed new motor mounts. Engine and transmission are still very solid, and I drive spiritedly.
I recommend the cold air intake, hondata tune, and bc coilovers for a very fun sleeper. And always change oil every 4K with full synthetic. And you must always use premium. The kseries engines are Honda’s best 4cl.
@@tracywilder8914 and I am still in the original turbo🤣
I just got one for 3k too it has 190k miles
I literally just traded an fn509 and 1k for mine, lol
WHAAAAT SCOTTY FINALLY LIKES TURBOS. 🤯
As long as he doesnt pull out his Fancy Scan Tool
lol
Of course he likes turbos. Do you know how much mechanics make from those things?
He does like the new Honda Civic Type R
My 2019 cx-5 awd just got 23mpg towing a filled 7' Fruehauf Car-go trailer across the Oregon coast range. Regularly getting 28mpg combined. No turbo necessary. 6 speed auto tranny performs flawlessly across all driving and towing conditions.
@Jack njones I towed the load across the Oregon coast range,, she didn't miss a beat. I would prefer the diesel but this is great for the price.
I have a 2011 RDX with 120k miles. Bought it certified pre-owned with a million issues that got fixed under warranty. Haven’t had any more issues in years, but now it’s starting to show its age.
AC compressor is bad, the front and rear sway bars are torn, the left axle seal is leaking, and the arm rest is starting to tear.
I LOVE this car! I think I should fix those things, right? Get another 100,000 miles…? It still looks and drives GREAT!
Have a buddy at work who just bought one of those. Got a steal and he loves it.
Bought one a month ago after my IS250 got wrecked. Thanks, Scotty!
Thanks
This car with a K&N cold air intake is so much fun! Mine has 150k miles and I’ve had 0 problems with it.
I got around 30 mpg highway and 24 city on my 2009 ford everest manual, pretty good milage for me
Scotty, that RDX has padle shifters you can shift it manually
Paddle shifters on automatic trans is kind of a gimmick tbh
He was implying that it shouldn't be shifted manually because of age
DN ED 23 He said “can’t be shifted” not “shouldn’t be shifted”
I have only purchased 2 brand new cars from Honda ever. I have always been overwhelmed with their tech. They might build great engines including the "earth dreams engine". I have never owed a reliable Honda. Perhaps that is harsh. My 2017 CRV has been incredibly fuel efficient. I love the engine! I baby it! I think Honda knows how to build a great CVT transmission as well. My electronics are so wacky. My Honda makes me feel like I am driving a VW.
Scotty I would love to see you review the newer RAV4 hybrid.
Merry Christmas Scotty! I have one of these and the dash is asking for an oil change after 6000 km, but the oil is full and looks fine. You think I'm okay to keep driving until 10 000 km?
Scotty, what do you think about getting a 2010 mercury Milan 2.5l 4 cylinder with 112,000 miles?
@scottykilmer does the engine has to be idled before switching the car off to cool down the turbo ?
Scotty's Number 1!
Looks IDENTICAL to my 11’ RDX that I just had to get rid of, such a fun car 😔
i just bought one of those!!! it’s so great. i got it because i’m trying to preserve my 2012 Volkswagen Beetle with really low miles. My new-to-me Acura RDX turbo sh-awd has 216,000 miles on it now but it runs perfect because the previous owners drove mostly highway miles & maintained it well! such a good buy
Hey Scotty do you think Acura ZDX is reliable?
Yes I have double-checked and there is a recall for the 2011 Ford Taurus for the electronic power steering
My 13 escape has 310000km everything is original. Just done regular maintenance. Finally doing a water pump, thermostat,temp sensor and coolant bypass valve just because its got 300k on it. Even the transmission has never been serviced. Now we don't abuse it just enjoy it. And it has been great. The first 13 escape we had had the 2.5l and it was even better till a deer killed it with 375000km. But the ecoboost isn't terrible if you don't treat it like a racecar. And simply just drive it
Stay safe Scotty ! Greetings 🇧🇭
hello, thanks you too!
He Scotty!
Could you do a video on what to look for when reading the carfax report?
Last August (2019) I bought a new 2020 Acura RDX AWD and one nice surprise is that it has absolutely no Turbo lag in the new Turbo 4 engine. I filled up my car today and I got 22.8 mpg in mixed driving (13.3 K miles on my car today).
This 2020 RDX replaced my 2004 Acura TL for my daily driver car to go to work. I gave my 2004 Acura TL (bought new in 2004) to my daughter last year when she got her permit to drive. It currently has 188K miles on the TL, and no major issues with the engine or transmission.
In fact, I replaced my 2007 Honda Odyssey in early 2018 with another new 2018 Honda Odyssey. The 2007 Odyssey had 245K miles on it and it only had 2 major repairs (Cat had to be replaced at 120K miles, and oil pump and main oil line replaced at 190K miles). When I sold the 07 Odyssey, it still shifted as smooth as the day I bought it new, and still blew very cold air (a must here in South Carolina).
The only fault about Hondas and Acuras is that they don't know when to quit!! :-). They will run forever until you hit a Mack Truck!!!!!
Hi Scotty what do you think Is a better óption a rdx 2009 or crv 2012?
Nice engine light mate
Hey scotty! You can actually shift manually using the paddle shifters in D and S!
Nice cel
2:23 I keep wondering how much of this reputation for “unreliability” on GDI/Turbo small engines is just a function of PISS POOR MAINTENANCE by the owners (or leaser’s) as opposed to truly bad engineering by the manufacturer. Coupled with literally driving them like they’re stolen.
Seriously now, if I see someone a mile ahead of me driving like an absolute looney bird, IF I can actually catch up with him it seems like they’re always driving a late model Honda, Nissan, something with the deadly combo of GDI, tiny turbo 4-banger, and CVT transmission; and they’re driving it like they literally *want* it to catch fire. Is it possible these cars are far more mechanically sound than we give them credit for, & are just being driven like F1 cars (and poorly maintained) by ignorant, negligent operators?
Bruce Morris This 💯 you see a ton of high mileage turbocharged cars that were well cared for and understood the maintenance.
You're not wrong, but its certainly STILL unreliable stuff. I dont blame the people for not maintaining their Hondas as well as Honda wants them to. They expect you to use the highest grade of fuel possible, use THEIR oil designed specifically for THEIR car (which costs like 100 dollars each change) and also expect you to come to the dealership every 10k miles and shell out 200-300 bucks just for a guy to look at your car. These engines were designed with all this in mind and want the customer to do all this in order for the engine to run like its supposed to. Its just near impossible, even for people who actually care about their cars. It's usually not bad engineering, but just plain science. You put all this pressure and stress onto a itty bitty 1.5 liter engine made for cars half the size Honda is putting them in, 100k cannot be seen without at least a good bit of engine wear, thats just how it goes. You also have to literally push the engine to the max in order to even merge onto the highway at a decent speed. I dont necessarily blame Honda and other companies for these engines being unreliable, but its bound to happen if you do all that to a little engine. On top of all that, the newer Hondas are very sensitive to abuse.
@@aytugdemir1323 Push the engine to the max?? Have you actually driven one, I have a 2018 Accord with the 1.5 and that thing flyes when you touch the accelerator and is not even at 3,000 rpms.
@@MrGardoPR I'm talking about the CRV, not the Accord. But I think the Accord would be very slow too.
@Richi RIch Yes.

I shouldn't say most people, but a lot of people that have a turbo overuse it and are not very knowledgeable about automotive equipment and don't or won't properly maintain it. Acuras like Lexus will be more expensive when they do break, but whatever floats your boat. I'll take a regular Honda or Toyota and bank the difference. I'm old also lol
I was just waiting for that freezing cold AC
Y need it in Houston
😂
Do you have a video about Acura RDX newer models? And what is your opinion about them like 2019-2021
Your glasses look older than this car 😂😂
I like your energy tho 👍
Hey Scotty. I bought a 2004 Cadillac Escalade 5.3L RWD. The truck is from Texas with very little rust. Water pump and oil pump recently replaced. I bought it for 2K. Is this a good deal used?
Good day Scott 🙏
hello!
The check engine light was on, so what was the problem and how much $ to fix?
Yeah, I noticed that too.
Would be great if Scotty had said something
It has to be a non Japanese car for him to talk about it.
I just Found the Best Cheap SUV to Own ... My!! 05 Toyota Rav4 just turned 300K. No Kidding. Oooh What a feeling Toyota!! ☝
Nice...
Scotty have a 2015 Ford f150 2.7 ecobost I left my home Puch the gas for about 100 yards then it just slows down now have no oil pressure and found some oil on inside passenger front rim do you think I blew the turbo I would really like your input thanks Johnny
Scotty -damn it, youre a gem!
Hi Scotty. Question from a 70 year old backyard mechanic: Do you know an easy way to bleed a 1994 Ford Ranger Clutch Master & Slave Cylinder?
My '09 RDX has been the best car I've owned. In 195k miles it's only needed a repair to the nav system (dvd drive, which I diy'd for about $50) and a new center armrest leather cover (diy for about $20). I am diligent about maintenance (as was the 1st owner).
The only somewhat common issue is a turbo underboost code. Dealers will want to replace the entire turbo (iirc, normally around $4k), but it's normally just a little worn piece in the turbo actuator linkage, and cheap repair options are available. That said, at nearly 200k, my actuator linkage is still tight (checked it when I recently did my plugs).
Other than that, they're super solid. Not a sports car (I've got an s2000 for that), but quick enough and they corner very well. The SH-AWD is one of the best AWD systems, and makes it a beast in the snow (and fun to toss into corners).
Hey man I got an 07 rdx when I put it in boost the check emission system signal shows up, than SH-AWD light, There is a intake that was put on when I got it from the dealer not sure if it's related, could you help me out? Runs great just those signals
@@bigguwop9654 Check for codes.
I bet you'll find an underboost code (like I mentioned above).
Probably nothing to do with the intake, but they rarely do much good. CPE was the only model that looked to provide gains, but you really need a tune (or Hondata reflash) to get any benefit. Many aftermarket intakes are trash, and just suck in hot air......
I'm not at 210k, and still going strong!
I have a 2007 Nissan Murano with over 206,000 miles and I drive it like a TrackHawk.
Does the Acura RDX 4 cycl require top tier gasoline? Thanks for this excellent information.
Yes bro, it’s a Acura not a Honda
First gen Acura RDX look really nice, I don't see what's wrong with the stying
Dont like the front end...

Hi Scotty! Is Nissan Kicks SR a good car? Thanks.
I'm out here burning in sun and scotty out here testing freezing cold a/c
Scotty's got twin turbo hands mounted on a couple of gimbaled forearms.
Notice the engine management light is on, why?
I own it that car ! I absolutely love it. Mine is babied! Excellent choice Scotty!!!
is that a 2 liter car?
fidel catsro it’s has a 2.3 litter
First off, THAT RDX NEEDS FULL SYNTHETIC 5W30 ENGINE OIL. Anyways, I’d LOVE to see any other 14 year old car from any manufacturer that is turbocharged that hasn’t had anything but scheduled maintenance until 150k miles. You won’t find one. With Honda’s and Acura’s, Toyota and Lexus too, just change the oil and filter, air filters, tranny fluid and other fluids, spark plugs, tires and brakes and you are good to go 200k trouble free miles. I own a 2006 Civic Si Sedan 6MT with 243k miles, a 2008 Acura TSX 6MT with 205k miles, and my daily driver a 2012 Acura TSX that just hit 169k miles. I’ve done nothing but scheduled maintenance. NEVER has even the CEL light come on in any of my three cars. They consume NO oil. They all still run like the day I bought them new. The ONLY major issue I had was with my 2012. The ballast for the passenger side HID Xenon headlight went bad. The Acura dealer replaced it for $278 including tax and shop fees. Also, each of these cars get 7,500 mile oil change services with 5W30 synthetic blend oil. My 2012 calls for 0W20 but it needs the 30 weight the way I drive these cars. Lol.
20mpg, my BMW has 85,000 miles and does 30/50mpg nothing major replaced yet. For the amount you're paying in fuel (double) I could save that money and buy another car with it. If my turbo needs replacing or transmission remanufacturing at 100,000 miles I will still have saved due to the mpg. Here fuel is super expensive, we spend about £80 to fill a tank. Japanese cars aren't perfect like everyone believes either, all cars can have problems for example - I remember my Honda Accord's engine completely cutting out at 50mph and losing power steering! Found a problem with the ignition barrel - point being; you could play it safe and buy a dull, uninspiring, gas guzzling car and it may still go wrong. There's still an element of luck no matter how well engineered they're supposed to be. I have owned both brands and I know which I will buy as my next car...
