RDX is perfect!

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.

I was deciding between the Outback (steering wheel issues) and the Prius (breaks, etc.) and reliability was the reason I looked elsewhere which is the #1 thing I have to have in a car, so I turned to Acura which currently has the best reliability rating of all manufacturers. I don't love the car, but we needed towing and I wanted a hatchback and this fit the bill at a decent price, and my husband is a Honda/Acura loyal follower. It is very nice car inside, but it is lacking in some areas.

This is my 3rd suv, I've had a Morono and a Pathfinder. The power is great handling is carlike.I can't believe this 4 banger be so quite.Gas mileage is poor and high test are the only drawbacks.

Overall I am happy with my RDX. I would at least recommend taking a look at this vehicle if you like Lexus and Acura vehicles. The handling was surprisingly better than expected. The staff and ammentites at the dealership were on par or better than many of the more expensive options. My dealer Phuong Davidson took her time and thoroughly explained my vehicles features and options even after I bought it and was professional and patient. The rest of the staff and management were also polite and easy going. I would recommend a visit to Pohanka Acura.

I love this. I did look at others like BMW, Lexus before going with Acura. I made the right decision.
