If you're looking for a smaller, premium SUV with plenty of comfort, value, performance, and predicted reliability, put the RDX on your shopping list. In those latter aspects, as well as some styling
Plan to tow with the RDX? Plan light. The Acura RDX's maximum towing capacity is just 1,500 pounds. The Audi Q5, on the other hand, can lug 4,400 pounds. If fleetness of foot is more your forte, the s
A comfortable, quiet ride was paramount for the 2013 RDX, and the Acura delivers. To our welcome surprise, this small SUV went above and beyond, also proving itself a capable performer in initial acceleration and passing power. The new V6 is quite smooth and more powerful than we anticipated. For those rare times when more oomph is required, the RDX has a sport mode for speedier acceleration and passing. It doesn't take a whole lot of work to get comfortable in the 10-way power driver's seat, but front passengers might feel like they're riding

"I have had it 3 weeks now and love everything about it with only one exception. The bluetooth has a tinny sound in the speakers and the party I speak to also complains of my audio. I have asked my service dept to look in to it. It it's not solved I'll have a fit. This car is much too expensive for the bluetooth quality to be what it is. The ride then economy is great. I feel very comfortable replacing it with my 2008 MDX which was passed to my wife. It feels like a smaller version of the MDX - exactly what I wanted when I bought this car."

"We were looking for a SUV that would comfortably carry 5, 4 adults and a child. We own an Audi S4 and initially gravitated towards the Q5. The dealer loaned us a Q5 2.0 for a day and we drove it the whole day around. It was quite unimpressive and the leg room was not very good considering we were in a SUV. We then drove to the BMW showroom and drove the X3. It seemed like a good option considering we were not impressed with the Q5. However, once we drove the RDX, we were very impressed with the ride, space in the rear seat - shoulder & leg room and the overall quality. The air vent for the 2nd row is a bummer, but the car cools down very quickly and has hardly been an issue. We love our RDX and look forward several road trips in it."
