Loving it so far - 2007 Acura RDX
By Greg B - August 27 - 1:53 amHave been "in love" since seeing first RDX on highway more than a month ago. Picked mine up (black, tan interior) last week, and have been smiling ever since. Cannot recommend it enough.

The Family Sportscar! - 2007 Acura RDX
By Critical - July 27 - 11:28 pmAbsolutely great car. Tech package is easy to use. Heres the bad things... interior plastic scratches easy, 19 to 20 mpg avg., 92 octane gas. That being said this is the best car Ive ever owned. Im a "car nut" and backyard mechanic, this car is extremely easy to maintain. Ill drive this car till it dies!

Sooo Fun to Drive - 2007 Acura RDX
By wendy - June 28 - 2:46 amI have had the RDX for two months and think it is a blast to drive. I had an A4 1.8T and suffered through turbo lag. There is no lag whatsoever. This car (its not really an SUV) really goes! The trade-off is fuel economy. Based on the computer, it seems like a 1/2 gallon is used each time I accelerate rapidly. I am getting 22-23 highway and 11-13 in city. Very comfortable seats. Audio, navigation, XM and traffic is fun but there is so much functionality it can be distracting while driving at first. Read the manual! I am disappointed in the wind noise from the driver side door at highway speeds. Hard to detect this on test drives in urban areas. It overshadows the stereo.

Love my RDX - 2007 Acura RDX
By rcizme - May 25 - 3:01 pmAlthough some call it an SUV its not. I dont drive it off road and dont plan to but on snow covered mountain roads it out handles my 4x4 Explorer in every way. The SH-AWD is one of the best Ive ever driven. On performance, I didnt buy it as a race car but I drive over a mountain pass to work every day and this car doesnt work very hard climbing the grade AND with just over 50K miles, Im averaging 24 MPG. Im confused as to why so many complain about poor fuel economy. Im guessing that mileage figures vary with driving habits? Its not a race car... dont drive it like one.

Excellent peformance crossover - 2007 Acura RDX
By Chapel Hill - May 21 - 10:18 pmWe purchased an 07 RDX brand new when they first came out (we purchased in Aug 06). We are in the process of selling it, not because we want to, but because our family has simply outgrown it. We put 40k miles on it in almost 3 years of ownership and have thoroughly enjoyed the RDX. Weve used it around town & on family trips. Extremely reliable. Quiet ride. Incredibly comfortable interior w/ awesome styling. Multiple compartments for storage, & many tech features. Front & back seats are quite roomy & backseat easily folds down flat (2/3 / 1/3) to expand cargo space. The AWD RDX drives better than most performance cars - handling is incredible & it is a fun, solid drive/ride.

Fun to Drive - 2007 Acura RDX
By Zel - May 11 - 9:03 pmA great SUV. My first Acura and SUV. My family had a long h/o driving Mazdas but the CX-7 or Murano were no match. The interior is just right and the body design turns heads. I purchased 18" Inspyre RonJon rims and they look great. A definite recommendation to make it a bit sportier helped a bit. As a single male in his 30s I am the demo they were going for and they succeeded!!

Best CUV out there for the Money - 2007 Acura RDX
By ever_green - May 8 - 9:24 pmThis car is great. Oops I mean SUV. Well same thing real for this "CUV". Sometimes you forget its an SUV with its excellent acceleration and sport suspension. You feel the road unlike any other SUV out there. It feels more like my friends BMW 3s. Apart from performance Acura offers excellent interior design with everything you need, really. Comfortable heated leather seats, Dual zone AC & so on...The super handling AWD also helps on snow and offroad. even though this car is not designed for offroading I still do it and it feels just as good as my highlander on dirt and light muddy roads. Only thing Im unhappy about is the MPG in hwy. I get 21MPG.

Want a sport sedan needed an suv - 2007 Acura RDX
By Turbo Fan - May 7 - 7:28 pmI chose the RDX because I wanted sport sedan like handling and power but the utility of an SUV. Gas mileage is not as bad as some say. If I ease into the throttle, I can get about 25mpg highway with some city driving. Ride is firm, but you get lots of grip. Sport mode tranny is neat but not necessary. This is my first turbo engine and overall I like the power surge surprising that a 2.3L can feel this strong in a 3,900lb vehicle. Turbo lag is not bad spools up faster than the 2008 CX7 and 2009 Subaru Forester I drove. RDX felt more powerful than CX7 despite having less advertised hp and one fewer gear. Glad I spent the extra money and chose the RDX over the CX7.

Spoiled Honda Owner - 2007 Acura RDX
By LoveACURA - May 4 - 6:50 pmI owned Hondas for years but strayed to AUDI a few years ago. I loved the AWD of my AUDI but hated the UNreliability - Ill NEVER have another Audi. Finding AWD for under $40K was a challenge. LOVE my RDX - a suped-up Honda with AWD! All the bells and whistles of a more expensive model but at a great price. Gas mileage is wonderful when I drive it like a 4 cyl. When I need the power of a 6 cyl, I have it with the Turbo. Drive it like a 6 cyl and youll too complain about the gas mileage.

Technology is fun - 2007 Acura RDX
By NYC=Fun - May 3 - 8:00 pmIts not often that I take the time to write about anything, however this crossover with the Tech. Package is a must. I have a Lexus RX and it doesnt hold a candle to the RDX. If you are looking for a sport car/suv you must test drive this one. You will be sold.
