  In crossover segment, hard to beat - 2008 Acura RDX
  By Jeremy C - November 24 - 1:34 pm

  Faster and less expensive than the BMW X3, the Acura RDX is about as good as it gets in this segment. It drives like a sports sedan and has plenty of storage. If youre looking at the Murano, you should check out the RDX as well. Its faster and a lot nicer, for only a few thousand dollars more. The SH All Wheel Drive makes accelerating out of a corner nice as well. Overall, Id give it a 9.5 / 10.

  My Mom loves it! - 2008 Acura RDX

  Gave this car to my Mom for her birthday. Replaced a benz E-320 with just 8k miles, but she likes the Acura even more.

  Fun car - 2008 Acura RDX
  By RDXTech - November 10 - 5:35 pm

  Bought this last month replacing the RX 300 we had and the features are so much better. Very comparable luggage space to the RX 300. Just had a kid and the big Chicco stroller fits in easily along with bags from weekend grocery. Have never towed, so no complains about the 1500 lbs capacity there. Still need to try the paddle shifters.

  WOW! Awesome compact SUV - 2008 Acura RDX
  By AcuraFan - November 9 - 7:58 pm

  I purchased this car about a month ago. What a great ride. Its Honda reliable, love the navigation system, very comfortable. This is also a VERY stylish car. No complaints, just suggestions. Good price range for a luxury crossover. From this car, I will likely drive Acuras for a long time.

  The perfect SUV for us - 2008 Acura RDX
  By Alex - November 7 - 11:36 pm

  Handling and acceleration are far better than the other SUVs we test drove - Lexus RX 350, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander. Feature for feature, none of the other SUVs we considered could beat the RDXs value. Good thing too, because none of them were nearly as fun. This is an SUV that will provide us plenty of utility, allow us to grow in it, yet small enough for the city, and will continue to be fun so that we wont mind keeping it for a while.

  The 2008 RDX beats all the competition - 2008 Acura RDX
  By Dan - November 4 - 8:35 pm

  I love my RDX. Ive had this vehicle for almost a month now and Im very impressed with everything about this SUV. I spent a lot of time researching and comparing different vehicles but once I started test driving them, the Acura RDX with the Tech package really beats all the competition. Its the best luxury for my money. Stereo sound is amazing. Interior and exterior finishing fantastic. Its fun to drive because of the smooth and powerful handling. Im really happy with my purchase.

  Great Car! - 2008 Acura RDX
  By Great Car! - October 10 - 1:17 pm

  After purchasing this car almost two months ago, I decided I had to write a review considering I have found the reviews out on Edmunds to be very helpful. I purchased the RDX after my 2002 VW Jetta broke down which happened frequently. The Acura is a wonderful car in general, and the RDX is great! I couldnt be happier with my decision. It is easy to drive, easy to park, has great acceleration when needed. It is super comfortable and just big enough that I feel like trucks can see me better on the highway. I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for solid reliability and easy maintenance.

  Love this car! - 2008 Acura RDX
  By neumogirl - September 25 - 1:31 am

  Have had this car for about two weeks and love it. Test drove all the CUVs from upscale/luxury to affordable/no frills from ML350 and X3 to the Ford Edge and Mazda CX7, even drove a Hyundai Santa Fe. None compared to the RDX for the money and the features. Its so much fun to drive and is extremely comfortable. Came from Infiniti M45 so I know comfort and this RDX is just as cushy. Look forward to showing it off to my friends. It was a long process to decide but Im sure glad I took my time and chose the RDX. It was the best choice for my money! I ordered chrome wheels and now its looking so pretty!

  Technology Package - 2008 Acura RDX
  By dan - September 24 - 12:53 pm

  If you get bored easily, opt for the technology package. Not only will this car talk to you but it will let you know exactly whats going on performance-wise down to each wheel. The rumors of turbo lag are true from stand-still acceleration. However, when the turbo kicks in, its like no feeling a V6 can offer. You feel like you are being lifted off your seat then pushed back into it. My wife has a Murano. This car is much smoother, ride, acceleration, braking and even the seats are softer. If you want the performance that may outrun a BMW 3 series but need room for the family pet, this is the vehicle!

  2008 RDX - 2008 Acura RDX
  By lwfineny - September 12 - 1:53 pm

  Ive had the 2008 RDX for just a few days - very impressed so far. Handling and acceleration are great. Im 65" and have over 3 inches of space between my head and the roof - pretty amazing for a car with a moonroof. Initial fit and finish seem perfect. All in all, its a lot of fun to drive.
