I've had no maintenance or repair problems with my RDX. All maintenance at Acura dealership. No repairs beyond scheduled service. Drive 25K/yr in Northern and Central Valley California. Most miles on I-5 at 70 mph. Also into Sierra foothills in light snow. Acceleration is great entering highway and passing on 2 lane roads. Only negative comments - suspension is very tight. Wonderful for cornering but bothersome on poor roadways at highway speed. I still prefer it to my wife's 2007 MDX. Premium fuel required but knew this when I bought it. Interior is great except center console armrest is thin vinyl that began to wear and tear after 4 years. Mentioned to dealer and they acknowledged that other owners had same complaint. Overall great car, hoping to get 50K more on it waiting for Tesla Model 3.

The 2007 4 C Turbo eats premium gas in daily city grinding/driving. HOWEVER - exceptional reliability, incredible performance in torrential rain (Upstate New York), lots of snow (upstate & downstate- NY blizzards), cruised through major hills (Smokey Mountain), saved my life as well! The exceptionally strong metals used around the "passenger cage" deflected a blown Truck Caliper that sharded and exploded ahead of me - tore through two other cars then into mine - did not penetrate into the cabin - only deflected through a part of the undercarriage and did minimal damage under the passenger door side. 138K miles, still runs beautifully. Only major change was to the front struts recently (GET THE KYOBI BRAND MONROE DOES NOT FAIR WELL IN THIS CAR)- NYC POTHOLES) and all discs and Break pads from www.handa-accessories.com. Mobil Synthetic Oil - car still runs like new.

Me and my wife absolutely love this car. We were previous owners of an RX8 and making the switch to an suv/cuv we expected loss on the fun factor. Turns out this car is a lot of fun to drive and feels solid all around. Gas mileage has been around the 19/20mpg with mixed driving. Everything I had hoped for.

This is my third Acura. I traded a BMW X3si for this RDX. I had the BMW only 5 months. Before that, I had an Acura TL. Always wanted a BMW until I actually owned one. Proved to myself I am an Acura fan for life. This is my first 4-cyl car. Turbo makes it feel like a V6. Comfortable ride, quality interior expected from an Acura. Tech pkg is nice, but could be much improved. Feel like I went downhill from the 03 TL to the 07 RDX on that end. This RDX really makes me feel as though my TL got a face and body lift. Don't miss the BMW one bit except for the Bluetooth. I hate pressing the talk button for each and every command; even my 03 Yukon doesn't require that.
No substantial complaints. Great SUV

Purchased mine 2 weeks ago and have put on about 800 miles. The RDX handles amazingly and accelerates extremely well, very much like a sports car and far better than any other SUV. The technology package is a must. Acura/Honda has the best navigation system around. The handsfree capability is also impresive. Cargo room is good, as well is storage room in the RDX. Interior build quality is quite good; the leather seats are extermely comfortable. Sound system is, by far, the best I have heard in any car. I have averaged 21 mpg and I'm anticipating a slight gain when the car breaks in. Please keep in mind that I do about 70% highway driving and I am a fairly conservative driver

I bought my 2007 new and it is now 12 years old and has 166,000 miles. Other than the airbag recall this car has had no mechanical issues which is amazing. This is the most reliable car I have ever owned and so fun to drive. The turbo and handling makes it feel like a race car and the safety rating was top of it's class.

I have had my 2007 RDX since 2009. It is a beautiful, reliable car that hits high speeds with it's turbo engine that makes it fun to drive. The stereo is good, seats are comfortable and sunroof lets the sun in. I plan on driving this SUV until it decides to stop. I highly recommend this vehicle!

I have a BMW 323i and love it. I bought a lexus 330 3 years back b/c BMW does not do well in snow :) Lexus is a smooth car but NO excitment to drive.. I was looking for a car w/ good in the snow, comfortable to drive long distance, fun to drive, can hold 4 people comfortably, good cargo area - the RDX fit the bill for all these. Being a female, I find most of the SUVs are TOO big and too heavy for me. This car feels like a sports sedan, except that it is taller and wider. The turbo give you the 'peep' of sporty ride. Yes there is more driving noise then a Lexus, but it's a trade off for performance.

I bought a certified 2007 last month with 33k miles on it after lots of research. This is a great car. Gets 20mpg city/hwy which is just what I hoped for with a 3900lb turbo vehicle. It handles like a dream. It hugs curves like no other. The ride is bumpy, but not as bad as other SUV/ CUVs I've been in. This car is FAST! I'm not a lead foot, but I punched it a couple times and I was gone! The seats are comfortable and supportive. There's lots of leg room in the back. The cargo area with seats up or seats down is more than adequate for this class and size of vehicle. This is a great vehicle for a family of 3. It nice after driving an Accord for 15 years not to see myself coming and going.

I'm a sales rep and drive approximately 40,000-45,000 miles a year for work. I've owned the RDX for a little more than two years and have 94,000 miles on it. I LOVE THIS CAR! The quality is excellent, the power & handling is excellent. The features of the tech pkg are great and reliable. I get compliments about this car all the time because of its styling and luxury. As long as you don't stand on the throttle and use up the turbo all the time, you get respectable gas mileage. I usually get 20-21 mpg in mixed driving conditions. When I'm aggressive I get 18-19 mpg. Due to a sporty suspension some may not like to feel every bump. You get a lot for the money. Compare the features to others.

I buy a new car every six to seven years, alternating with my spouse. I bought the RDX with a need to buy something upscale and fun. Also winter handling and cold weather features were other concerns. Here was my must have list and what the RDX provided: heated seats, standard; heated outside mirrors (hate scraping), standard; AWD, standard, XM or Sirius radio; XM standard (better channels than Sirius and no Howard Stern); Bluetooth; standard; good acceleration; standard, and very good I might add; classy; standard - even without the BMW, Lexus, or Mercedes nameplate. Okay, there was another sort of must-have that the RDX did not give me: auto-headlights.

Although some call it an SUV it's not. I don't drive it off road and don't plan to but on snow covered mountain roads it out handles my 4x4 Explorer in every way. The SH-AWD is one of the best I've ever driven. On performance, I didn't buy it as a race car but I drive over a mountain pass to work every day and this car doesn't work very hard climbing the grade AND with just over 50K miles, I'm averaging 24 MPG. I'm confused as to why so many complain about poor fuel economy. I'm guessing that mileage figures vary with driving habits? It's not a race car... don't drive it like one.

I have owned this for a week now and I could not be more impressed with this car. I traded my 2002 TL and can't believe how much better the RDX handles. Acceleration is great for a two ton auto. The fit and finish of the interior is second-to-none with a smartly designed cockpit and great seats. I got the tech package and the ELS sound system rocks! Nav is easy to use, handsfree bluetooth works like a charm. I have read many reviews from others complaining about the gas mileage. I am averaging 17.5 after 600 miles of mixed driving. If you are constantly stomping on the gas (and jamming on your brakes) you'll get 12 mpg. You only need to feather the gas pedal and the turbo will move you!
Great crossover, a blast to drive.

This car is really fun to drive. There's basically no turbo lag; hit the gas, and off you go. It's surprisingly quick. The real joy comes from the SH-AWD system, which helps you stick to the road in any conditions, but especially when things get slick. The gas mileage is a bit worse than advertised, but still better than most, if not all, SUVs. The standard RDX comes with so much standard, you're better off buying a 3rd party nav system, and saving a bunch on the sticker. With so much standard, why pay another $4K for bluetooth and a back-up camera? Overall, a great buy at the standard level!

This is not the perfect car, but it is the perfect choice for the entry level small-luxo-SUV market. Felt the RAV4 and CX7 were not as refined. X3 is the only real competitor in this segment. The X3 was a nice car, but would cost about $10K more similarly equipped. I thought the ride was a bit fairer on the BMW, but I felt the handling and power on the RDX was superior. It has ridicoulous amounts of technology, plenty of power, and sport-sedan like handling.

It's fun to drive using the sports mode. I never had a car this fast and stable at high speeds. My average mileage after 3000 miles is around 17-18 miles per gallon both city and highway driving combined.

My RDX has many great technological features, however some important ones to me were left off. My TL had seat memory for the drivers seat. This was a great feature for me because people at the dealership move the seat all the time, and it takes me a week to get it perfect again. No power seat for the passenger is also missed by my wife. Drivers side mirror does not tilt down. Rear lift gate should be remote controlled both from the remote lock / unlock and the dash as the trunk was on the TL.
Cool Car!

My car is my office as I put a lot of miles on my car. The RDX sold me on several points: 1) its outward style; 2) its interior design; 3) the Technology Package (outstanding audio and navigational system!); 4) the quality, fit, and finish of the interior materials; 5) the comfortable driver's seat; 6) its handling and performance; 7) the excellent warranty; 8) and Acura's reputation for building excellent cars and providing great service. The RDX has been very fun to drive thus far. Some might say that it drives too harsh; however, I am more than willing to sacrifice a little cushiness for the excellent handling and road feel the RDX provides. Additionally, this car really turns heads!
after 18yrs/88k+ miles, i STILL would buy it again

i knew the day would come. i finally had to perform MAJOR repairs, a front brake job and some suspension work...nearly $3k! it still runs very well for a car pushing 20. All my issues w/ this 18yr old vehicle are cosmetic. it is still quick but is no match for many of the newer EVs. i have replaced the stock size tires w/ low profile tires which has improved its already very good handling on tight curves. the ride is very comfortable but you still have adequate road-feel. Beware, it does use premium gas (for the turbo). i now have 88k+ miles. i bought the car @ 24k/ 3yrs old (2010).

This vehicle handles like a dream. I was reluctant to purchase an SUV because of their traditional fuel consumption but this vehicle gets pretty decent milage. The interior has the feel of a sports car and the turning radius is awesome. Safety was a big deal for me and the RDX has almost everything you could ask for in security at an affordable price. This is my second Acura and it is every bit as impressive as the first. There is also much to be said about the way Acura cares for their customers. I'm an Acura customer for life.

Acura is a luxury brand, but this is not a worthy model. It's quick and sporty with a stiff ride. But gas mileage was terrible and we had to replace the front brakes and rotors every 5000 miles. We never felt like it did anything well. If you drove it as a sports SUV with paddle shifters, you paid at the pump and in maintenance. Also, missing some key features at this price including automatic headlights, driver memory settings and iPod interface.

Absolutely great car. Tech package is easy to use. Here's the bad things... interior plastic scratches easy, 19 to 20 mpg avg., 92 octane gas. That being said this is the best car I've ever owned. I'm a "car nut" and backyard mechanic, this car is extremely easy to maintain. I'll drive this car till it dies!

I researched all the new models extensively before deciding on my purchase of the RDX with Technology package. This is an incredible vehicle for the price. The fit and finish are better than my last Mercedes ML, as is the technology and handling. I've owned the vehicle for 6 weeks and still look for errands to run just for the fun of driving it.

I bought my 2007 Acura RDX (base model) about 18 months ago. I needed a vehicle just for my self, but with the capacity to handle up to 4 adults in reasonable comfort, All Wheel Drive to deal with any type of weather that we get in west central Canada. This RDX has checked off all the boxes for me. I bought the RDX in January of 2019 with 200,000 km (124,300 miles) on it. The car was solid. No squeaks, rattles, or clunks. Engine is quick to respond, quiet and powerful for inline 4 cylinder. The turbo has no noticeable lag when you do put your foot down to pass or blend into traffic on the freeway. Premium fuel is recommended. I have put on over 20,000 km and other than regular maintenance the only part to be replaced was throttle position sensor ($300.00 for diagnostics, parts and labour). Interior has more than enough room for me. I am 6 ft. tall and not slim. the seats are comfortable and the position of the controls on the dash and the steering wheel are laid out well. The air conditioning and heating are very good. There is sometimes a noise that sounds like moan or low grawl when the vent door for the air direction controls are changing. Strange when you first hear it, but not a problem once you understand what is going on with the vacuum and switching system and it only occurs for a few seconds. The Acura all wheel drive system or SH-AWD is very good. through 2 winters of driving in some very nasty cold and snow conditions the vehicle has never been stuck. There are times that I wished the car had a bit more ground clearance, but I have not had any damage to the undercarriage and the plastic valance on the front has deflected snow, ice and and debris away well. The RDX cargo area is good very well designed. There is a package tray that covers the rear area to keep items out of sight, but it is removable if you need more room. The package tray fits into the rear floor in suck a way that it does not take up any space or make the floor un-even. I have had other vehicles that when you remove the solid or roll-up cover from the rear cargo area there is no place to put them so that they are out of the way. A small issue, Yes, but when you see how Acura has dealt with this small issue you begin to understand how they look at other issues on the interior of their vehicles. The interior cabin air filter is easy to locate and change. The sound system is wonderful. AM-FM and a 6 disk CD player. 6 speaker + a sub-woofer provide great sound. The vehicle information system provides great feedback to the driver. indicators for doors not closed, tire pressures low and tire location are very helpful. Oil service life is indicated from 100% (new) down to the oil life being depleted. At 15% oil life remaining the indicator showed up upon every start up. Service by time items are presented as codes and can be found in the owners manual or on line. If you like to do your own oil changes, like I do, the RDX is very well set up for that. The engine oil filter and drain plug are easily accessible by jacking up the front right of the vehicle. MOBIL 1 is the recommended engine oil. The same can not be said for the transmission fluid. The dip stick is easily accessible to check the fluid, but if you need to add ATF the fill cap can not be reached without removing several items behind the battery in the engine bay. Get this along with the transfer case and trans-axle fluids serviced at the dealership. I am very please and surprised at how much I enjoy my 2007 Acura RDX. I plan to get another one when I decide to part with this one, but I don't think it will be leaving our family as my Grand Daughter will be driving in a few years and I think it will be a perfect vehicle for her. My wife is also looking at buying an RDX to replace her 2017 VW Tiguan. As a 14 year old vehicle I think I have a winner and I would not hesitate to take this vehicle on a long distance trip today.

Have had the RDX tech package for about 2 months now. Love the bluetooth and other tech features. Car has the room I need without being too big. Would have preferred manual transmission. I find the car very comfortable, I see some complaints about the ride, I have had cars on either side of the RDX and personally wouldn't want to give up any of the fine handling that would undoubtedly be lost with a more plush ride. I would have considered the 21 MPG that I am getting fine several years ago. Next time around I can't imagine that I would even consider a car with this type of mileage. Very happy with RDX quality, feel, and image.

I have had my RDX now for 1.5 months and I love it. It is the most fun car to drive that I have ever owned. The power is great! The cornering on snow and ice has been exceptional. I have already been through 3 blizzards! I never dreamed that this car would be so much fun! Sound system is the best ever experienced!

This review is on my moms 2007 Rdx, bought new in 2006 on my recommendation, which I have driven on and off over the past 10 years, including 10 hour road tips, mountain ski trips in the snow, etc. She now has around 100k miles on it and has not had a single trip for unscheduled maintenance in that time. Acceleration is quick for an suv and the handling is sporty and precise. Ride is quite firm, you will feel every bump in the road, but the chassis feels solid. The sh-awd handles great in the snow and it was a great vehicle to take on ski trips. Passenger and cargo space is reasonable and visibility is good. Stereo is good and materials are nice but not overly luxurious. Only negatives are requiring premium fuel for the turbo engine, and averaging only around 18mpg (90% stop and go city driving.). Road trips to the mountains I would be lucky to eek out 23-24 mpg. Buy this for its Honda reliability and being fun to drive, not for its gas mileage.

I bought mine used with 100,000 so it could be that just the previous owner didn't maintain it. It was a pretty sad ending for me. At first i loved it infact i still have not found a car that has such comfortable driver seat. From the armrest on the door to the adjustability of the steering wheel it was just so well designed. The trubo flet great! It couldn't through you back in your seat but it was a gradual and nice acceleration. This crossover felt like more of a gate way to a sport car notwithstanding though it looks like a minny van. Gas mileage as expected didnt get much better than 24 mpg but for a 2007 not bad. My main complaint is that once i got a sensor it was impossible to fix. The o2 sensor went out and then everything went out spent about 2,000 to repair in one month but eventually i just had to let go
Go!

I bought this car to replace a small hatchback that got totaled in an accident. I feel very comfortable with all its safety features, and it handles very well. I never was fan of SUVs, but I really love this car. I was looking at the BMW, but in the end I thought the RDX was simply a better ride. I also like the fact that I don't see these very often since it's a new model. I live in L.A., and I think I've only seen one or two others on the street. It's a very hip car!
Love it

I've owned 5 Honda and Acura products before, and this is a HUGE disappointment!! The 4-banger feels sluggish from a standstill (although it's reasonably quick after the initial lag). The engine is very noisy during acceleration, with a lot of turbo whine (even under some cruising conditions) which "wears down on you" after a while. And I was SHOCKED by the horrendous fuel economy. At 16 mpg overall (mix of hwy/city), it's exactly the same as my other vehicle: V8 powered Lexus GX470! Isn't this supposed to be a 4 CYLINDER, SMALL SUV? Helllooo!!
Putrid gas mileage

Neat car, but stupendously bad gas mileage. We got 11MPG on the first tank, 13MPG on the second tank and have not hit more than 13MPG since. This is computing MPG the old fashioned way. Our local dealer (PA) has more than 20 of these on the lot unsold, they said that they "had deposits" on them, but they don't. I see why now. Like the car, but this gas mileage is just really, really, really bad.
Great SUV

I've only owned the vehicle for 1 day, but have put 300 miles on it. There IS some turbo lag, but once the turbo winds up, you're pressed to the back of your seat. A bit smaller than I expected, but appears to have ample rear space, especially with the back sets folded flat. Very nice, leather. The tech package is with voice control is very detailed, and very complicated. Will definitely take a few good days of use to get all of the commands andm options down, but looks to be well worth the effort.
Best CUV out there for the Money

This car is great. Oops I mean SUV. Well same thing real for this "CUV". Sometimes you forget it's an SUV with its excellent acceleration and sport suspension. You feel the road unlike any other SUV out there. It feels more like my friend's BMW 3s. Apart from performance Acura offers excellent interior design with everything you need, really. Comfortable heated leather seats, Dual zone AC & so on...The super handling AWD also helps on snow and offroad. even though this car is not designed for offroading I still do it and it feels just as good as my highlander on dirt and light muddy roads. Only thing I'm unhappy about is the MPG in hwy. I get 21MPG.
Great handling, poor mileage

The car is fun to drive, handles very well, excellent quality and features. Only disappointment is a 3+ MPG gap in rated numbers versus actual. Avg 19-20 in semi rural and highway driving.
Worst car ever purchased

In the first 3 months this brand new car was in the shop for electronic malfunctions, sunroof malfunction, rear hatch cracked, turbo replaced, warning light indicator malfunction, "flooding issues" and engine noise. This has been our worst experience with a car purchase, Acura service was terrible along with Acura Canada's response. I would NOT recommend this car, it is noisy, rough and unreliable.
Japanese quality, German performance

The 2007 model drives and handles like a 5 series BMW. The seats hold you securely on spirited curves. Later models were softened up and "family car" dumbed down. If you want fun, get a 2007. If you want a polite quality family car, get a later model.

Fun SUV, but gas milage could be better

It is really to early to tell alot, however my first tank of gas seem to yield me only 13.5MPG ... and I did not dog the SUV. This may be because the engine needs to break in, but with my last acura (MDX) getting poor gas milage, I am starting to see a trend. This vehicle is very confortable and the handeling is great (for a SUV). The exterior could be better, but still very nice. I paid just over sticker ($150) ... not bad so far. The brakes seem a bit weak, but again they may need to seat and the intial take off torque is nonexisitant, but once the turbo spools, it has a good punch.

Car drives nicely although the sportier ride can be a bit too harsh at times for normal day to day driving. Gas mileage has been quite reasonable (12.3L/100km or 19.1 mpg) but I've had to watch the turbo indicator to use the turbo as little as possible. Hills seem to make the turbo kick in quite a bit as expected which really drains the gas quite quickly. Cruising at relatively high speeds while feathering the gas to keep up with traffic seems to make the turbo kick in oddly causing seemingly choppy driving. Blind spots are quite minimal as the mirrors and small size help counteract this.
Bad gas mileage

The gas mileage on this car is horrific. The EPA is 19/23 but thus far we have had no tank higher than 13 MPG and our average is 12.8 MPG. I took the car to the dealer and they said that "the gas mileage on the RDX isn't great". Wow is that an understatement. If I had known that the mileage would be this bad I would never have purchased this car. The car is great otherwise, but it only takes premium gasoline and the gas costs are now more than double my prior car (a V6 Honda Accord). I am really disappointed that Acura put this car out with such bad gas mileage and there's no way out now, I estimate that my additional annual gas costs will be about $2500 per year, which is insane.
Good but needs improvement

Before buying, I really suggest taking the local roads rather than just hopping onto the closest freeway with no radio on. I was very annoyed with a shaking/vibrating steering wheel every time I waited in front of the red light. During acceleration, I found the turbo to be rather loud. The gas mileage could also be improved. On the other hand, great visibility and comfortable seats in both front and back. Excellent design as well. The ride is also very comfortable when compared to a sport X3.
The funnest car to drive

The car is great. It drives like a sports car, but it is a safe, small suv. Highly recommended.
Reliable, Safe, Sporty!

The 2007 Turbo RDX SWX is by far the best vehicle I’ve owned following Audi, Mercedes, Lexus. Buy it if you can find it! Premium sound! Handles like a sports car. Drives like a smooth limo. Again, if you find one in good well maintained shape. BUY!

It's been about 2 month since I purchased 07 RDX right after debut. I have really good image of honda also I had Acura RSX type S before and really liked it. That is why I decided to buy RDX. I am well satisfied with my purchase; however, I see the car is not well built. I happened to find many rattles from dashboards, passenger seat, and twitters. I hate that ticking sounds that dashboards makes. This year RDX missing few things, and I dont see how a car at this pricepoint does not have these as standards: passenger power seat, memory seat for driver seat, auto-dim back and side mirrors.
