2011 Acura RDX 4dr SUV (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5A)
I have driven this car for 76K miles and 8 years and have never been disappointed. It handled extremely well in an ice storm that paralyzed our city But got me home safely when others ended up spinning out and in a ditch.
Huge bang for the buck

2011 Acura RDX 4dr SUV (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5A)
With BMW, Audi, and Mercedes getting all the attention in the luxury crossover market, the RDX is too often overlooked. I have owned my 2011 RDX base (front wheel drive) for 8 months and love it. You get a lot for your $30,000. Stellar acceleration and handling, all the creature comforts, and a premium feel (though not quite as "premium" as the German competitors). If you want to save a … few thousand dollars and still get an excellent vehicle- give the RDX a long, hard look before jumping into that BMW.
If you do not live in Alaska or extreme north east, consider front wheel drive for even a better value. I live in NJ and am getting through the winter just fine with my front wheel drive RDX.

Worked with the two Internet guys at Niello Acura in Sacramento. Both of these men made it so easy. Emailed what I wanted. Got a quote back. A few back and forths, a test drive and only 1 hour of office time.
Found setting the … c/c and varying gears (3,4,5,4,3...) using s mode is a great way to allow you to varying rpm (for proper break-in) while keeping the same speed while crusing the hiway.
We are very happy with the RDX and the great price we got.
Can't really review the Reliability when its not even broken in.
RDX is perfect!

2011 Acura RDX 4dr SUV (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 5A)
I bought this car for my son who just turned 17. We originally thought about getting him a sports car but since he's 6'3", we changed our focus to a mid-sized SUV. The Acura RDX is perfect for him. Great ride, larger size but not too large, comfortable, expects to be reliable and is expected to be safe.
