  • Very few flaws - 2007 Acura RDX
    By -

    The RDX is a great small SUV. Ive had mine almost a year and I love the ride, handling, and sleek interior. The interior and cargo space are much larger than the exterior of the car would indicate. The biggest drawback is the poor gas mileage. I drive 80% in the city and 20% on the highway and Ive only averaged 15 MPG. Thats pretty bad for a small SUV. Other small annoyances -- the seat belts dont fit snug and rattle the front seats should slide back further to increase front leg room. Cheaper than the BMW X3 and more luxurious and sportier than the RAV4 or CRV.

  • A great blend of car and SUV - 2007 Acura RDX
    By -

    I always get a consistent 21 mpg all around. The seats are best in class. Go ahead and try all other makes - none compare. Ride is stiff - thats the price you pay for handling.

  • Cant go wrong - 2007 Acura RDX

    The RDX is the complete package for the new category of CUVs. Compared to the X3 (way overpriced) and its cheaper counterpart the CX-7, the RDX is hands down the winner with better handling, vtech engine, non existent turbo lag, and Acura quality and reliability that competitors dream of.

  • Good but needs improvement - 2007 Acura RDX
    By -

    Before buying, I really suggest taking the local roads rather than just hopping onto the closest freeway with no radio on. I was very annoyed with a shaking/vibrating steering wheel every time I waited in front of the red light. During acceleration, I found the turbo to be rather loud. The gas mileage could also be improved. On the other hand, great visibility and comfortable seats in both front and back. Excellent design as well. The ride is also very comfortable when compared to a sport X3.

  • Still Needs Tweaking - 2007 Acura RDX

    We liked the car at first sight. It is a blast to drive and the turbo kicks in quickly. The technology model is the way to go. Great sound system! Overall visibility is excellent!

  • I like it. - 2007 Acura RDX
    By -

    Small enough to get around the beltway nasty traffic yet, big enough to allow you to see whats up ahead. The tech package is cool if your company allows you to synch your blackberry with your car - mine doesnt - ostensibly for security reasons. Even if the company doesnt, its worth it to get your own phone and just ignore theirs when it rings. She drives like a dream and looks very stylish. The only thing I dont like about her is really crappy gas mileage. Even when I am on the highway I get no more than 21 or 22 MPG.

  • Big disappointment - 2007 Acura RDX
    By -

    I thought I could get sport and utility in one vehicle, and be happy, but I was wrong. I find myself disappointed when I want to drive aggressively. Off the line acceleration is poor. You feel like you are anxiously waiting for the vehicle to realize you want it to go. The transmission often seems to be in too high of a gear and the paddle shifters are an absolute joke. The brakes also do not inspire confidence and you can still tell that you are driving an SUV. From a utility standpoint I am disappointed with the ride, comfort of the front seats, and leg room. I cant find a comfortable driving position and actually get sore on trips longer than 20 minutes. Overall I wish I could return it.

  • Performance - 2007 Acura RDX
    By -

    My husband already owns the Acura TL. So we wanted the MDX (awesome vehicle too). But we saw the RDX - good price, great quality and it had all of the bells and whistles as the MDX. I have been driving it since January and I love it. It is everything they said it would be. However, it is a ladies car because of the size. You have a luxury car for a great price.

  • Perfect mix - 2007 Acura RDX
    By -

    Acceleration, handling, comfort and utility. Limited capacity is not a surprise based on the size. 20 mpg mixed driving - aggressive at times but not needless (like racing to a stop light). Stiff ride took a whole week to get used to and one more to love.

  • Exactly Right - 2007 Acura RDX
    By -

    I really wanted something that had some get-up-and-go and was fun to drive in the mountains. This really fills the bill. Yes, the ride is stiff, but its nearly as much fun to drive as my wifes Mini Cooper, which is saying a lot. In addition, its got one of the best sound systems Ive heard. Dont worry about the road noise.
