  Fun, but expensive to operate - 2008 Acura RDX
  By MCK - May 10 - 1:36 am

  I traded my 2004 Expedition for a more efficient vehicle. After 1400 miles of combined driving the computer indicates we averaged 14.7 MPG on expensive premium gas (required). That is almost exactly the same mileage my big Expedition was obtaining on regular gas. Needless to say, I am terribly disappointed. On a positive note, the car is very comfortable (except, a lot of fun to drive, the technology package is amazing, the sound system is even more amazing. The handling system in the car is a technological masterpiece. But at 28.5 cents per mile for fuel (and rising), it sits peacefully in the garage while we drive our Civic and EOS around town.

  Learn about it first - 2008 Acura RDX
  By RW - May 7 - 1:23 pm

  Just bought my RDX and love to drive it. Make sure you know what you are getting with the RDX - it is a sports car with stiff suspension and a firm ride so if you want a soft, "never feel a bump" ride then look elsewhere. Went without the tech package - the $4k was too steep for me. If you want the suv where sport meets luxury (and dont need that much cargo room), check it out.

  If Only Gas Was Free! - 2008 Acura RDX
  By Nancy - May 6 - 3:29 pm

  I absolutely love this car. It is sporty, fast, handles well, comfortable, super fun to drive. Unfortunately, I live in a busy city and this is not the car for city driving. Gas mileage is awful. I average 16 miles/gallon city driving. Havent taken it on the open road yet. This car is perfect for less populated areas.

  Love This Vehicle - 2008 Acura RDX
  By Otto - April 29 - 5:22 pm

  Traded in my 2003 Highlander for an RDX on 4/18/08 and wish I had done it sooner. I put over 800 miles on during the first week and I couldnt be happier. The turbo is awesome and the technology package is great. Mileage is slightly better than the 17/22 on the sticker. I was looking to downsize a bit and just couldnt bring myself to purchase a sedan. What a great choice. This baby drives like a sports car and still gives me some options on the utility side of things.

  Wonderful driving experience - 2008 Acura RDX
  By DWB - April 12 - 2:15 pm

  I purchased the RDX 2 weeks ago with 7 miles on it. It now has nearly 1000 miles with combined city and highway miles. The day after I picked it up I drove 550 miles and averaged 23 MPG. 90% of the time it was downpouring rain in the mountains of WV and VA. Ive been averaging 18 MPG around town however I do not sit in traffic very much. I had a Civic and it was a great mode of transportation. However, the RDX is a driving experience with immense pleasure from the XM radio and sound system to the handling and comfort. Also got the protection package, wheel locks and tow package.

  So far, the best car I ever owned - 2008 Acura RDX
  By JohnnyV - March 30 - 11:01 pm

  I traded in a 2005 Subaru WRX STi which I bought new after months of research. It was terrible. Ive had the RDX a month and its an extraordinary vehicle. For someone w/ low back problems the drivers seat/position is perfect, unlike the poor seat in the Toyota RAV 4. Ill check back in a few months.

  Very happy with purchase - 2008 Acura RDX
  By Tyler - March 28 - 7:49 pm

  It has great acceleration and hugs the road very well. The suspension is stiff and reminds me of my old RSX-S (could be good or bad depending on the driver). Ive driven from TX to CA in this and was not fatigued. All in all, it is a pleasure to drive. I do extensive research whenever I buy pretty much anything and I found this to be a better buy than the competitors.

  Awesome Sporty Machine - 2008 Acura RDX
  By Scorpion18 - March 24 - 5:41 pm

  I drove a Camry V6 for 3 years and was just enough happy with it but wanted a sporty drive, tried X3, BMW 3 series, Lexus IS 350, CX-7 and a few more before finalizing on this one and I am glad I went to see it. It is a awesome combo or class, features, acceleration and I love the ELS system with 10 speakers making it better sounding than any other vehicle I tried.

  Try It Youll Love It! - 2008 Acura RDX
  By CHdriver - March 11 - 11:38 am

  The RDX was the last car we looked at before we were going to commit to an BMW X3. Are we glad we looked! Absolutely great price and deal, and so much car. Saved at least $7,000 of the X3 and we still got everything we wanted.

  A Lot of Car & Fun - 2008 Acura RDX
  By CHdriver - March 6 - 8:51 am

  Have owned the car for almost 3 weeks. Wife & I been looking at BMW X3 & Highlander (go figure). Looked at the RDX as a lark! Both of us immediately fell in love with it. It offered so much for the price.
