New Horizon

The car drives great. I was able to drive in both residential and highway areas with ease. Breaking was very easy, and so was accelerating. I was attracted to the reliability that Acuras are known for when I sought out this vehicle. I'm looking forward to driving it till it will not go any more.

Great little SUV

I don't like car payments, and I am a big fan of used cars. I was looking for a used car to replace my aging Honda CR-V. All the used CR-V's seemed to be overpriced, and that is what led me to the RDX. I bought one with the tech package. The car is almost 9 years old and has over 100k miles on it, but it is a very solid car. I am getting around 20MPG in mostly city driving. The suspension is a little stiff sue to the sporting nature, but I like it. The car has great power. The turbo lag is noticeable, but after driving it I am very use to the power band now. The car handles great (much better than my old CR-V). The SH-AWD really works well.

i love this car

i bought this car used with 24k miles. it now has 72k. the car is great and very unassuming. i like when i merge onto a hi way and the car behind pulls out to sail around me and never gets the chance and moves back behind me. it is very comfortable. and still utilitarian. i gave the performance a "4". its not a Ferrari. but i would give it a "6" for its weight class. even with 5 in the car, there is quite enough power from this 4cyl. 40 series tires and a suspension kit please. i would buy THIS car again but the newer models apparently aren't meeting minimum requirements. 2 downers. turbo lag and lack of control as to when it kicks in.

Very Solid Car. Pleased

I purchased a 2007 RDX used with ~100k on it. not worried about miles; it seems very solid. I had to change the Tranny fluid (old, discolored) and oil because the car had been driven ~5k miles by one of the Lot Managers (Go figure, independent lot). The car is all I expected from an Acura. Even with 100k on it, still drove like a newer car. I test drive one with 60k on it and could not tell the difference, other than $4k more sticker. Handles very well. Very exacting handling. Considering the car weighs much more (4700 lbs.) than it CR-V cousin, but it feels good. Heater door makes a little creaking sound when you turn on the heat, but eh, barely noticeable. I like the car generally. Happy about the purchase. Only 2 things mildly negative: 1. Turbo boost lags when you hard accelerate. 2. Gas Mileage: 18.9 to 23 highway if you stay off the Turbo. Now just have wait and see what fails due to higher miles. I'm keeping the maintenance up though.

Best car I have ever owned

This is by far the best car I have ever owned. It has the large size of a SUV but the sportiness and efficiency of a sedan. The thing that is so nice about an Acura RDX is that the things that would make a car fully loaded for any other car, comes standard for Acura. This car comes with a 6 cd changer, heated seats, sunroof, premium sound, leather seats and a sport shifter. This car is so much fun. I get to drive a nice sporty car with my three kids and not have to feel old. Not only do you get to have all these added bonuses of such a luxurious car but you also have the reliability factor, Acura is still one of the best cars reliabllity wise on the road. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car and I am so glad that I have gotten to drive it for the last 3 years of my life. Awesome CAR!

Great vehicle

Previously owned a Cl and needed to upgrade for more space and a growing family. Had to choose between the Lexus Rx and the Acura Rdx, glad I stayed in the Acura family absolutely love this vehicle , ride could be smoother and careful of the gas mileage but those would have to be my only complaints. Handles great, very reliable, and love the interior.

Most Useful Car I've Driven

Previously I owned a Subaru WRX, it was great for everything except traveling, moving, purchasing large items, carrying more than 2 people and lacking any of the modern amenities. Of course those that buy a WRX want the speed, fun and driving experience of their awesome AWD. The WRX fulfilled in that front. But as times change and so did my requirements, I needed a larger car, something that's fun, has speed when I want it and has everything the WRX didn't have. Enter the Acura RDX. It's fun, roomy, practical, packed with features and fast. You can't compare the handling to a smaller car especially a WRX, but when compared to an Equinox, Tahoe, MDW, RX 3xx, CX-5, etc., the RDX is the best in it's class. With a turbo charged K-engine from Honda (been around since the early Civics), all the toys a guy can ask for, enough room to put everything from a small apartment (I did this) and all the possibly the best looking SUV you'll see. What's even more impressive is that with a turbocharged engine carrying over 4,000 lbs, I'm getting close to 24MPG (I'm in Dallas so about 65% highway miles). The car is rated for 22MPG on the highway and somehow I'm getting a higher combined! Even better, there's a huge following for the RDX nationwide, they even have a website where you can get help with anything regarding the RDX's performance, tune-ups, upgrades, troubleshooting, customization, etc. You can't get anything better than a RDX as a small SUV. Trust me, I've driven everything in this class, the RDX is the best. The newer ones get even better MPG, but at the cost of the cool exterior look of the 1st generation models.

2007 Acura RDX

This car is typical high quality Acura! A real pleasure to drive! As an Acura TL owner we are sold on Acura. Originally shopping for an MDX we happened across a 2007 RDX. First, this car has a 2.3L Turbo. Not quite the 3.2L in our TL yet this car packs quite a punch.This car features AWD. Interior appointments include leather, sunroof, heated seats, tilting mirror in reverse. Lacking only a few luxuries of a TL. Interior room is quite similar to the TL. Only drawback is cargo (storage space ) without the rear seats folded down. You cannot beat an Acura for reliability!
