2007 Acura RDX consumer reviews

I bought a "new" used 2007 RDX over two months ago, and have had a great experience with it so far! I love the way it performs, looks, and hugs the road. The first week I had it, there was a bad snow storm, and it performed excellently. I felt very safe, and even went through drifts with no problem. Its a alot of fun to drive and has all the equipment I need. If I had anything bad to say, it would be that the gas mileage isn't great. I only average 20mpg every week driving around. I would buy it again though. Love it. I plan it drive it to 300000 miles!

We purchased our 2007 RDX about three months ago and couldn't be happier. With a teenage daughter approaching a milestone birthday we drove several different vehicles before agreeing on a perfect fit of safety, reliability, and style. We found ours in near new condition with 21K miles and the tech package. Six airbags, all wheel drive, bluetooth, navigation system, a back up camera and traditional Acura quality! It just gets driven back and forth to school and her work which should keep the miles low for many years to come. I plan on the RDX lasting her thru college and grad school and not needing to make another purchase. The ride is stiff and the handling is tight but with the turbo four it all fits perfectly. We're all pleased and will continue to recommend Acura to all!

This car is great, I've had it a few months and have had no issues. Gas mileage about 18-22, solid performance. The only complaint is that the roof rack is not that great for carrying bikes, kayaks etc. I Can't wait to see how the RDX handles in the Pittsburgh snow!

We purchased a 2007 RDX and have been very pleased. With lower mileage it still is very luxurious and looks fantastic. I do wish for a different interior color than black (both the silver and black models that we looked at had the black interior) but overall it is a beautiful, functional, and luxurious ride.

I feel safe in this car. It is solidly built and handles beautifully. The turbocharged engine has excellent acceleration at anytime. The 5 spd automatic transmission is fun too. I recommend it to anybody.

With it's SH-AWD and turbo this small SUV drives great. It has a somewhat firm ride as a trade off for sporty handling and wonderful control. My wife gets about 22mpg total average but with plenty of power to use when needed. The vehicle has been reliable and easy to do maintanence on for the DTY people like me. I highly recommend the RDX.

I have enjoyed owning the RDX for 3 years. It is still fun to drive, great interior, nice accessories, and well built SUV. Service has been routine with no problems. Mileage is 20+ average, with normal driving style. Only minor complaint is lack of enough lighting in cargo area. Handles like a sport sedan, but has ample space for groceries and trips to Home Depot.

I test drove this car the first week it came out in August of 2006, and I took it home that day. 3+ years later I could not imagine parting with the car. That said, if you are looking for a luxury SUV with an easy ride on the highway then this car is not for you. This is a machine tailored for performance. I've never driven any car that handles the way this one does. With the SH-AWD and the Turbo engine, you will never have more fun driving on a windy back road! Mine has the Tech package, and it is easily the best factory stereo I have ever heard. The turbo makes it jump off the line even when you barely touch the pedal. With all this performance comes the obvious trade off of a stiff suspension, which can make bumps on the highway a bit annoying considering it is supposed to be a luxury car. However, in my opinion it is well worth it. The only other cons I have are that for a luxury brand that came with a $37,000 price tag, it does not have automatic lights and the driver seat is the only powered seat in the car. I feel like they could have made those upgrades to appeal more to their target customers. One other thing I want to mention is that this car is amazing in the snow! If you drive on a completely covered road you can actually hear the computer system applying a different combo of power and brakes to each tire so you stay moving in a straight line. It really is amazing. Even if you stomp on the gas the RPM stay below a level that gives you good traction. I can't imagine the computers inside this car that make everything work so beautifully. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for the performance of a sports car with the interior space of a small SUV.

I have been driving the RDX for 2 1/2 years now and I love it. It handles great in all types of weather. I am surprised that people complain about the ride being too stiff - I think it is perfect. It has a sport feel and on twisting and turning roads it sticks to the pavement. I think the drivers seat could be a little more comfortable. I am tall and on a long trip I don't feel like my back gets enough support. Other than that it is a great car.

We've had the '07 Black ext. Tan int tech pkg for about 3 weeks. We've had an '02 Chev. Trailblazer and it's quite large for daily activity like kids school, groceries, outings, etc. I bought this vehicle to get an in-town SUV that carries 3 carseats in the second row. And the RDX does it!! 2 boosters on the sides for a 5 and 6 yr old and the convertible carseat in the middle for the 3yr old. I got this for a deal of $25K! Great value! The tech pkg offers so much! Voice Nav, bluetooth, rear view camera and XM. Power everything! sunroof, locks, windows, seat warmers. Standard 10in. subwoofer. Large storage for the needs of a fam. of 5 with stroller. The styling lacks as it looks somewhat robotic and not as agressive as the SH-AWD suggests. The underbody kit and roofrack and crossbars are nice accessories that came with this purchase (about $800 if ordered). These help look a little bit more aggressive. But just not enough. The interior is appropriate. It is an Acura and I've always associated this brand as with modern technology more than luxury. There is a LOT of tech in this vehicle but once past it and into driving this vehicle, one really gets to appreciate what the purpose of this vehicle is. And that is to get you in a decent amount of distance in the least amount of time. The thrust in the lower range truly pulls you back into the perforated leather seat. The turbo does have noticeable lag and top out but it's quick to make you realize how well it is working! Frequently will I find my self doing 40 just coming off the line from a stoplight. In town the automatic will get you past most any car you need to get in front of to make that turn you just realized comes up in about one hundred feet. The paddles seem to be best when in expressway type traffic to downshift and take advantage of the turbo. Or, in the mountain twisties where grip and handling are more appreciated. I haven't had it in snow or rain but I'm sure it will handle it as good or perhaps better than my Audi A4 Quattro. As far as comfort is concerned, I drove 75min to and from the house today and it seemed that was about right for me. My neck didn't agree with the head rest as it didn't feel very soft or comfortable. I'm 5'7". I don't know if that has anything to do with it. It serves the purpose for which we purchased this vehicle for very well!!
