  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.

  So far so good.... - 2008 Acura RDX
  By ScottyB - November 9 - 6:26 pm

  I leased this car last month, and am generally pleased so far. It drives well with nice power and handling, although the ride is a little bumpy, if you are used to a luxury or performance sedan.

  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.

  2008 RDX Base - 2008 Acura RDX
  By benlee78 - October 17 - 1:48 am

  Since my wife had a baby, I have traded my 06 Acura TL (base) for the 08 RDX base model. Even though I miss my TL, I thought this was a good trade. Pros: This is a fun and powerful vehicle. The turbo gives it an extra kick in acceleration. AWD gives the vehicle more stability. Interior and the exterior design is pretty decent. Stereo sounds is great. Price value is pretty good for a luxury/sport vehicle.

  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.
