  Nearly as Fun as a Mini - 2008 Acura RDX
  By Eilidh - January 10 - 10:20 pm

  When my cute mini cooper became a sled in the Boston winter, I reluctantly hunted for a small SUV. After much deliberation, decided on the Acura over the BMW X3 on cost and reliability. So glad I did - the sound system is superb, the build is quality, bikes fit in the back, the turbo makes pleasing whooshes and the acceleration is plenty for me. Its just as grin inducing as a mini - and no icy skidding. Negatives include instructions more mind boggling than physical chemistry textbooks and a voice recognition system that doesnt quite understand my UK English. However, Im persevering to learn Honda-ese and confident well become friends. An excellent fun car in every way.

  Awesome vehicle!!! - 2008 Acura RDX
  By Brenda Rodrigues - January 8 - 1:45 pm

  This is a great SUV! I received this SUV after totaling my 2002 dodge neon. I was telling my husband how much I loved the MDX but not just any MDX. It had to be the older model because I was no fan of the rounded backs. After a wise car salesman convinced me that I could get a 2008 RDX for the price of a used MDX with nearly 30-50 thousand miles it was no surprised I rushed to take the RDX for a test drive. After the test drive I was sold. We visited that dealership more than my in laws… literally. After a few weeks of debating, on 12/15/07 my husband purchased me the 2008 tech RDX. I have put well over a thousand miles on it and I have had it less than a month. It is a joy to drive!

  I love this car!! - 2008 Acura RDX
  By sfduckie - January 2 - 12:59 pm

  Ive never owned an Acura before but Im now a huge fan! The RDX is fun to drive, has great visibility, and the base model comes with absolutely everything youd want (CD, bluetooth, MP3 hookup, XM radio free for 3 months, moonroof, seat warmers, etc). Also, the driver interface (at least on the base model) is intuitive and uncluttered. It feels like they really have the driver in mind. I highly recommend this car! Im so happy I bought it!

  Nice car to have - 2008 Acura RDX
  By czechmate - December 10 - 4:58 pm

  I only have a few hundred miles on it. It is well made with nice internals and a few bugs. Complicated not-so-friendly navigation system. One must learn the exact commands (over 100 of them) to handle it safely and efficiently while driving. There is information missing on streets that have been in existence for many (7) years. If that is to be programmed one needs to look up MAP-IT beforehand and find the major intersection.. The engine require synthetic MOBIL-1 oil, and a higher octane gasoline. Trunk is large enough but be prepared to purchase the cargo net.

  Wow! - 2008 Acura RDX
  By VB - December 10 - 12:09 pm

  Never did a review before, but had to comment on my new ride. Overall this car is terrific. I find a new feature I love every day. I am on my 5th tank of gas and am getting 21.8 mpg. Traded an 03 Aviator that never got better than 16, so Im thrilled. Looks good, feels good, drives good. Never owned a 4 cyl. before. Cant believe the pick up. Plenty of power when you need it. Love it! Love it!

  By Ellen Mansour - December 5 - 11:52 pm

  Cant beat Acura for reliability, safety and stability on the road. The technology package is easy to use, the sound system is impressive and it drives like a dream. I couldnt be happier.

  Perfect size. Great fun. - 2008 Acura RDX
  By nomorecivicsi02 - November 30 - 9:19 pm

  I needed a vehicle to replace my 2002 civic Si. The first time I drove the RDX I knew I wanted one. This thing is as much fun to drive as my Si. If youre looking for a small, quick, great handling SUV with some luxury, this is the vehicle for you.

  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
  By Sean - November 18 - 12:49 pm

  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.
