What a ride
This ride is sweet. It's comfortable, it looks very pretty inside and outside. It's got many safety features which I find important, and it is great on gas given how much gas is these days, this little ride saves me a lot of money.

Acura RDX
I have had this car for over 5 years, I have had no issues with the car and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I like changing cars every four years or so but my experience was so enjoyable that it was not easy to decide to sell. This car drives like a sportscar and has plenty of power. It has some neat features that many new cars don't have such as a calculator for converting metric indicators to imperial and viceversa. The dual illuminated vanity mirrors are very useful and the cabin storage is huge and you can put a briefcase on it. IN winter time it performs admirably with the SH AWD, starting from full stop in snowy roads leaves all other cars well behind. All services have been done at the agency and willing to provide the last detailed service report 2 months ago.
You will be very happy with this car for several more years. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Comfortable but small
Comfortable for the driver but there isn't much room in the back. I have to take my driver out of my golf bag to fit my clubs in the back.

2008 Acura RDX
We zipped around the city in the 2008 Acura RDX and in all areas found it an enjoyable ride. Its compact SUV-style body offers practical interior space while giving it car like maneuverability. With the tech package, Acura throws in just about every cabin gadget imaginable, from an excellent-sounding stereo to its full-featured navigation system. However, while the RDX maneuvers like a car, it drinks gas like a large SUV. We also eagerly await the day that Acura redesigns its dashboard and reduces the ridiculous number of buttons.

2008 Acura RDX
The RDX is motivated by the company's first factory turbocharged engine in North America. Displacing 2.3 liters, this blown 4-cylinder develops 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. That's quite an output, and the RDX is blessed with 0-100 km/h times of 7.3 seconds.
But while most manufacturers who produce turbo engines do their best to make the power delivery as seamless as possible, you can actually feel (and hear) the extra surge in the RDX, and a boost gauge will also show you how fast the blower is spinning. Quite amusing.
Several carmakers now have 6-speed automatics, but Honda and Acura are still hanging on to their 5-speed unit. The RDX has wheel-mounted paddle shifters to row the boat yourself. The all-wheel drive system is front-wheel biased, and sends available power down to the rear wheels as needed. This little Acura handles itself quite well, despite the high ride height.
The turbo 2.3 has an appetite for fuel, though. The RDX is swallowing 13.4 liters of premium fuel at every 100 kilometers. So, if this engine has about the same power output as the company's 3.5-liter V6, and consumes as much fuel, why didn't they just drop the V6 in the engine bay in the first place? The 3.5 certainly sounds better than the turbo four, in my opinion.

Amazing Ride!
The Acura RDX is an inspiring vehicle to drive. There is never a dull moment! The seats are very comfy. With the technology package the ELS sound system is second to none. Amazing build quality and Acura reliability. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another Acura.

Very comfortable, safe car. Luxurious drive!
I love how stable this car is on the highway. It's also a smooth ride, with very little cabin noise. The heated seats are great in the winter and the air conditioning system is super fast! Love the little things that help you drive like the side mirrors that point down when you reverse, the "balancing" technology that helps you with fast turns, etc. All in all a very comfortable car that delivers great performance.

Great Sporty Utility Crossover
I'm a hockey playing 30 year old and I made a list that included space, mp3 plays and Bluetooth and went to find a vechile for myself. The RDX does all this and more! It's super tight handling is awesome, and works awesome with the super handling all wheel drive.
The interior is quite nice and super comfy for highway driving. The power is more than adequate and the turbo does add a nice element of fun. The little things like sunglasses holder and ample storage are great. In the first few months of ownership I legitimately felt like I had overstepped my boundaries, but I found it private sale on trader and did well.
The one thing that hurts is premium gas, but I knew that was going to be a problem when I left an old 98 civic hatchback. I'm getting a legit 12 l/ 100km and its fine. (10 on highway) ( all summer driving so far)

Reliable power.
Infatuation. This SUV is rugged, dependable and fun. It focuses on sport handling, so the ride is not intended to be strictly comfortable. Interior is stylish, even in 2012 and well equipped with telephony and AUX input/6 disc CD changer. It covers all bases a smaller size SUV should attain. Don't be scared by the gas mileage deficit that reviewers often love to stress, as you can definitely drive it economically. I get about $65 for a tank (in the USA and $85 CAN) and get around 550-700 kms on a tank. Around about 10.0 L/100 kms driving like an 18 year old university student I am. You wont be disappointed if you purchase a RDX, either new or used. Personally have about 117,000 kilometers on mine, and no mechanical problems ever. Its a typical Honda/Acura product.
