Its terrific ride
If you want to enjoy your turbo ride with ease of mind, you should go for it. This is a great car, am only selling it because of moving out of the country. I love the ride.

bull on wheels
this car is amazing, with its turbo and sport mode you will be smashed in your seats. with the undependable 4wd you will love taking curve with high speed! but if you want this you can't close your eyes on the amount of fuel that it burns. your pocket will surely get sore one day or an other.

2009 Acura RDX

by SWIFTH on 12-27-2012
Had one as a loaner
I have to admit if I was buying an SUV it would be this. Had more cargo space than my TSX (which I took advantage of in the 2 days I had it, by using it for a tailgate party at an nfl game which my TSX wouldnt have worked very well for).

The engine is great, though not as smooth sounding as the NA version inthe TSX. And it handled and rode pretty well and had a very sporty ride in corners with its AWD.

That said it did not get great gas milage (about 20mpg, the TSX was getting nearly 25mpg doing my normal driving). 20mpg combined on 80% or so freeway driving isn’t too fantastic, but its not horrific given the class of car. It was a loaner car and itslifetime mpg was about 20mpg as well, so most of the others who had it as aloaner so I wasn’t driving particularly conservative or anything. As others have said unless you are dumb and don’t know how to drive (i.e. gunning every light, revving the motor randomly on the freeway) you can do fairly well with a turbo. YOu should only use the turbo when you need it not all the time. Its a 4000 pound suv, so I suppose given its weight the mpg was not that terrible responsibly driven.

The price really isnt that bad considering what it comes with. But really they should just build a lighter wagon or sedan version with this engine and drive train setup.

I honestly don’t think this is a bad looking car. Its probably the best looking acura now given how horrible the others are. If I could buy a used say 2006 one for say $18k with the tech package, I’d probably consider trading my 05 TSX for it.

Also for comparison my father has an 06 x3 3.0 , and this is a vastly superior car to that having driven both. THe x3 3.0 with 225hp does not have the grunt of the RDX . A slightly smoother sounding engine, but not as powerful.

Turbocharged Pocket Rocket
This vehicle is my mother's and suits her very well. As a handicapped person she finds the high seating position with low step-in height to be ideal for her. She also loves the open driving position and great visibility that the vehicle provides. The SH-AWD gives her superior traction in all conditions and provides peace of mind to the rest of the family that she is safe. The little trucklet is incredibly bad on fuel, returning somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-13L/100km, and on premium fuel!! As much as I would like to have her in something more luxurious like an RX350, I know that the Acura gives her a much more capable AWD system, higher performance for merging and passing, and fantastic build quality. Not to mention it matches Dad's Acura TL AWD Tech in the driveway!!
