2007 RDX Review
I've had my 2007 RDX since 2009 and it's been the best vehicle I've ever owned. Extremely reliable, very comfortable and never any major mechanical issues. Everyone that's driven with me in the vehicle has also complimented it's smooth ride and great features. I wouldn't be selling it other than the fact that we've upgraded to an MDX (need more room for the family) - Acura has been excellent to deal with!

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.

Great Car
This car has nice style and comfort but it not fuel effficent and doesn't performe that well. Always, I feel this car is fast and maybe a little too much. After all the driving I do it is nice to come and relax but the seats are soft so I just relax in my car.

Awesome navigation
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.

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.

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.

Great SUV
Runs smooth, good on gas if you avoid using the turbo and drive smart, and comfortable. The stock speakers are good as well as options that come standard. The homelink system works flawlessly and is able to control two different garage remotes flawlessly. Quiet car and extremely comfortable especially on bumpy roads. The Super Handling All Wheel Drive works and you can tell it is working. All in all a great vehicle, highly recommended.

2008 Acura RDX

by mail2philly on 12-22-2012
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.

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.

Roomy Sporty Family SUV with a mind of a sports coupe
The turbo charged RDX is defiantly fun to drive. The sound system is a joy to listen to. Cargo spaces is more than enough for a family of four. Only gripe is the 13.3L/100km fuel economy.

2011 Acura RDX

by manuellok on 11-21-2012
Fun Car
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.

2007 Acura RDX

by bibbyy on 11-20-2012
good car
Whether you consider the TL a luxury car or simply a premium car depends in large part on whether you see Acura as a luxury brand. The car is as well-appointed as the ES 350, whose manufacturer, Lexus, is more often perceived as a luxury make. In a class that seems to favor sportiness, there are buyers who will never take a front-drive car seriously, but as these cars go, the TL is quite a performer — certainly more of a driver's car than the cushier ES 350.

Dependably engineered
After almost two years, No Problems at all! The cabin noise is acceptable, but it could be a little quieter on highway, for a luxury car. Ride is stiff and sporty suspension, this is not the couch type of feel you get from touring cars, it hugs the road, and reports back to you on every pothole. Steering is powered, yet with a "feel for the road" ...and very tight, yet it will wander, and you must be watching the road every second. The standard features included are more than enough to have! ...only wish it came with a self starter for winter warm ups.

2013 Acura RDX

Stylish, Comfortable, and Great on Fuel!
I have owned an 2013 Acura RDX for 3 months, and so far, everything has been all I had hoped it would be. It has great fuel economy. It has a very stylish and sleek design, inside and out. It is especially comfortable with very little road noise.

The only negative for myself, is that its dimensions are nearly the same as my last SUV (Nissan Murano), however the back has considerably less room than the Murano.
