Acura RDX 2011Change

One of the best features is the navigation/GPS - it accepts voice commands and allows you to "Find nearest gas station" or "Find nearest fast food restaurant".

It's sleek interior is very comfortable on long drives. And gotta love heated seats in Canadian winters! The exterior is nice looking, sporty yet elegant.

As a 4 cylinder Turbo, it's got a lot of kick for an SUV but does require premium gas.

The car does come with Super Handling All wheel drive as standard along with a turbocharged 4 cylinder engine with 240 horsepower, which is really good fun to drive. It also comes with a lot of standard equipment such as heated driver and passenger seats, rear view camera, dual zone climate control, electric adjustments for the seats, bluetooth for your mobile phone, cruise control, and the sound system is actually really good too. The problems however include: An overly firm ride, the cabin quality is pretty poor in most parts, not much room in the back, and the looks that you either love, or hate. Lastly it's the fuel economy which really dissapoints, because it drinks premium fuel and combined it gets 19 mpg, which is pretty poor considering this is such a small car. However, what might attract you is the low price of the vehicle, because it is slightly cheaper than all of it's competitors from Germany and Sweden.

On the website, the RDX is under luxury SUV but this is definitely not a very luxury crossover compared to Mercedes or audi. It's comfortable with standard features and back up camera for reverse parking. The down side of this vehicle is that all the 2012 years and under does not have V6 technology but they improved it on all the RDX for the year 2013 ones. So that's a little bummer. One more thing, the cargo space if not a whole lot bigger than a hatch on the honda fit or the nissan versa. I have a somewhat bigger stroller and after putting the stroller inside the trunk, there's not much room left for our groceries.

Comfortable, reliable, easy to handle in the city or on the highway. Easy to park in town with the back up camera and tilting mirrors. Easy to get in and get out as the seat height is perfect. Passenger love the fact they can see all around without having to stretch their necks in all directions.
