  • Love it - 2010 Acura RDX
    By -

    I love Honda Motor Company. Had an MDX before...which loved. Opted for 2wd b/c I dont need SH-AWD in TX. Better mpg...but just barely. Only complaint on RDX is that any 4 cyl. should get 20 MPG at least. Im no lead-foot, but I only average 17 MPG in city. The tech package is great. Very similar to my MDXs, but also controls my ipod and weather forecast. Love hands-free talk features and the feel of steering. I dont use paddle-shifters. Ride is sportier and quicker than MDX, but just slightly bumpier. Road noise is great...not an issue. Plenty of room for us, but we dont regularly haul anything other than groceries. I dont tow anything and dont plan to.

    Absolutely best car I ever drove. All wheel drive is a blast to drive in the rain and snow... the tech in the car is amazing. The only downside is the gas mileage getting about 17-19 on highway. Probably needs to break in some more. Pretty quick for a 4 cylinder. Seats are very comfortable.

    I have only had this vehicle for two weeks but I have enjoyed it very much. It is fun to drive, has the power I need when merging on to the highway and I love when the turbo kicks in. Not very pleased with the road noise and you feel every bump, thats something that my wife and I both agree on. The road noise you can get use to but the bumps are another thing.

  • A Winner! - 2010 Acura RDX

    I picked up my RDX today and found the fit and finish to be excellent and the seats the most comfortable I have ever sat in except perhaps for Volvo. I priced up a Volvo XC60 and if you option it out with things that are standard on the base RDX like leather, blue tooth, heated seats, XM rado, bi xenon lights, sunroof you would be looking at a 38k car. I paid 31k for my RDX and feel it was the bargain of the century! Especially after considering a RAV4 v6 which the dealer wanted 28k for and it does not even compare to the Acura.

  • Great sports car - 2010 Acura RDX

    This vehicle handles better than any car Ive ever owned. It does have a hard ride though. My friends think it was over $50k. Quality is first rate. Its my wifes car, but I take it for a ride whenever I can.

  • Wish I could return it - 2010 Acura RDX
    By -

    We bought this car to downsize from our Volvo XC90 - and be more "green". What a mistake! The mileage is no better despite the miserably small cabin and trunk (looks big but doesnt hold much). This car should never be bought by a family - if you are a young couple who doesnt drive far or carry much (or mind the 90+ dB road noise) , then, I have a vehicle for you.

  • Not worth the money - 2010 Acura RDX
    By -

    I bought this car due to cash for clunkers. I think I would have like this car better had I not driven or knew about the Tiguan (no inventory available). No rear air vents, back seats dont move, sunroof is weak and virtually no power outlets (1). Luxury is a far reach for this car. All the thought was put into technology rather than make the vehicle functional. The dual air zone is for the front seats...I guess they dont think anyone will sit in the back as if the back seat is just decoration. The vehicle does drive smooth and has great control but cabin noise is another "non luxurious" characteristic.

    When looking at crossovers it was hard to find one with design, reliability, and power. My wife wanted a CRV but I was not impressed with the small engine (166 hp for a big vehicle). I tried to convince my wife about the RAV4 with a V6 engine but she didnt like the style. We found the Acura and I believe it is a great compromise (250 hp!!). Great power and reliability I wanted, with the looks and feel she wanted. To my surprise it was only $2,000 more than a loaded CRV or RAV4 after neg. We have had it for about a month and my wife loves it. I am not impressed with the gas mileage. With a prius 17-19mpg hurts. As a crossover it fits our wants but we dont use it for towing or haul.
