Review

I picked up my RDX today and found the fit and finish to be excellent and the seats the most comfortable I have ever sat in except perhaps for Volvo. I priced up a Volvo XC60 and if you option it out with things that are standard on the base RDX like leather, blue tooth, heated seats, XM rado, bi xenon lights, sunroof you would be looking at a 38k car. I paid 31k for my RDX and feel it was the bargain of the century! Especially after considering a RAV4 v6 which the dealer wanted 28k for and it does not even compare to the Acura.

Favorite Features

bluetooth, comfortable seats

Suggested Improvements

Can't think of any. They nailed it.

Review

This vehicle handles better than any car I've ever owned. It does have a hard ride though. My friends think it was over $50k. Quality is first rate. It's my wife's car, but I take it for a ride whenever I can.

Review

We bought this car to downsize from our Volvo XC90 - and be more "green". What a mistake! The mileage is no better despite the miserably small cabin and trunk (looks big but doesn't hold much). This car should never be bought by a family - if you are a young couple who doesn't drive far or carry much (or mind the 90+ dB road noise) , then, I have a vehicle for you.

Favorite Features

GPS works well

Suggested Improvements

Mileage (18 mixed driving), Power points, Fix the error prone bluetooth, Give a free THule rack (you'll need it), Auto function head lights, More sound proofing

Review

I bought this car due to cash for clunkers. I think I would have like this car better had I not driven or knew about the Tiguan (no inventory available). No rear air vents, back seats don't move, sunroof is weak and virtually no power outlets (1). Luxury is a far reach for this car. All the thought was put into technology rather than make the vehicle functional. The dual air zone is for the front seats...I guess they don't think anyone will sit in the back as if the back seat is just decoration. The vehicle does drive smooth and has great control but cabin noise is another "non luxurious" characteristic.

Favorite Features

turbo bluetooth and voice command technology

Suggested Improvements

back air vents for true dual zone, more power inputs, panoramic sunroof, more options

Review

When looking at crossovers it was hard to find one with design, reliability, and power. My wife wanted a CRV but I was not impressed with the small engine (166 hp for a big vehicle). I tried to convince my wife about the RAV4 with a V6 engine but she didn't like the style. We found the Acura and I believe it is a great compromise (250 hp!!). Great power and reliability I wanted, with the looks and feel she wanted. To my surprise it was only $2,000 more than a loaded CRV or RAV4 after neg. We have had it for about a month and my wife loves it. I am not impressed with the gas mileage. With a prius 17-19mpg hurts. As a crossover it fits our wants but we don't use it for towing or haul.

Favorite Features

Turbo and AWD. This vehicle drives like a sports car. Fast and fun. The AWD will shift traction from one tire to the other immediately e.g. while going around a sharp corner. Awesome.

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage, premium fuel, and synthetic oil. I have a prius so maybe I'm spoiled. But no matter what I do I still can only at 20mgp in the city (max on a good day). I've come to the realization this is the price to pay for performance. However, synthetic oil only is changed ever 5000- 7500 miles.
