The good just got better! - 2010 Acura RDX
By Acuraman - January 7 - 7:15 amThis is the second RDX that I have owned. Acura has done an excellent job in this mid- model change improving those areas of complaint by owners of the 2007-2009 models, such as road noise, braking performance, ride stiffness, etc.

A great segue for a Sports Car owner - 2010 Acura RDX
By shivaswrath - December 27 - 9:45 amI used to drive a 05 Mitsubishi Evolution VIII. Family changes forced my hand to the RDX, but I have been continually pleasantly surprised. VERY responsive engine, love the transmission with the paddle shifters, and excellent interior comforts. I do mostly highway commuting and this car has made every stopped moment in traffic on I-95 heaven. A worthwhile, long-term investment just bear in mind maintenance isnt cheap since the turbo REQUIRES synthetic Mobil 1 ($100 a dealership).

Not Bad for a 1st time SUV owner - 2010 Acura RDX
By Maria - December 11 - 3:47 pmI have owned this car since August 2009. I got it using the Cash for Clunkers program. I am overall pleased with the car. The gas mileage could be better but it is a 4cyl. turbo. I used to have only 6 cyl. vehicles and this car is faster than what I used to own. I wish we could use regular gas. It is fun to drive, handles the road well, great technology and love the heated seats. It suits the needs of my small family and I also did not want a large SUV being that this is the first time that I have owned an SUV.

Fun to Drive, but... - 2010 Acura RDX
By sea_level - November 28 - 9:30 pmI love how it handles and it is a blast to drive. It is a pleasure to drive on long road trips. The GPS, XM and Bluetooth work well, especially for handsfree phone calls. It has plenty of power and the AWD makes corners fun. However, it has a firm to rough ride and lots of engine noise especially at low speeds. The tone of the engine sound reminds me of a very low-end econo car, not something that costs in the high $30s. The leather used on the seats seems sort of low quality, along with the carpet. The seats are extremely comfortable though. Overall, I do think it is a very good little SUV and will probably be very reliable for many year. It just has a couple of drawbacks.

Love it - 2010 Acura RDX
By Pleased - November 25 - 11:26 amI 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.

RDX 2010 SH-AWD with Tech - 2010 Acura RDX
By raza - November 17 - 10:11 amAbsolutely 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.

2010 RDX (AWD) - 2010 Acura RDX
By Robert McGuire - November 14 - 10:04 amI 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
By trome - November 7 - 6:16 pmI 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
By geohov - November 3 - 7:47 amThis 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.

Great Sports Car - 2010 Acura RDX
By Jonathon Wacek - August 30 - 12:29 pmWhen 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.
