2007 Acura RDX - Great Until Yesterday
I purchased this vehicle about a year ago. I loved it from the beginning. It is a top of the line model. I have been taking it to the Acura dealer in my town for service. The dealers been great, the car didn't have any problems in the first 12 months that I owned it, despite it being a slightly older car with slightly higher miles. HOWEVER, just yesterday I my check engine light came on. I have done some research online and it seems that I might have to replace the whole turbo. I am a little disappointed with its reliability now. I had nothing but good things to say about this car until now. The interior has held up very nicely and all the tech systems work great. I have had no problems with the electronics or any superficial part of the car. Before this engine problem I have only had ... (more)

I have had no problems with the electronics or any superficial part of the car. Before this engine problem I have only had to replace one thing, which was an air filter, even after it got completely rechecked at its 100k tune up. Pros of this car are that it is really nice to drive. You can definitely tell you are driving a luxury car. Cons are an engine problem only 1 year after I bought it.
When I let my younger brother drive it down the street, he used the paddle shifters on the steering wheel ( I didn't even know those were on there) and he loved it. He giggled like a 12 year old girl-He's 20.

I love the tech package, the Bluetooth is a must have. Also the interior is very nice.

It is having an engine (turbo) problem only one year after I bought it. It is expensive to repair as well.

2010 Acura RDX - Excellent family car
This is an extremely comfortable car that was well thought-out in it's design. It drives superbly and has had no mechanical issues in the 130,000 miles I have driven on it. It handles well on a variety of surfaces including ice, snow, and rain and makes me feel safe when driving on these surfaces. The lie-flat turn down of the back seats allows for a large amount of space to pack or move items such as boxes, chairs, and suitcases. It also makes a large comfy space for our large dog to lie comfortably. LATCH hooks provide a safe and secure place to attach car seats. I have had some speaker issues, as several cut out periodically, but this is the only electronics issue I have had with the vehicle. The built in NAV system will get you from point a to b, but not always in the most efficien... (more)

I had to take this on a mountain road completely covered in snow and ice. It was the only pass still open to get home and the Acura RDX performed flawlessly even when I saw countless cars on the side of the road unable to continue in the snow.

Speakers a bit unreliable
Nav system has an odd algorithm which doesn't always give the most efficient directions.

2010 Acura RDX - My car is my friend.
When it was new, reviewers praised the RDX for its good handling and acceleration. They also liked that the RDX has loads of standard features, though some complained that cabin fit and finish seemed a bit subpar. The RDX has one available engine, a turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 240 horsepower. While most critics found this to be sufficient to move the RDX without trouble, some did notice hints of turbo lag. Front-wheel drive models, which were newly-available for 2010, earn fuel economy estimates of 19/24 mpg city/highway, while those with all-wheel drive achieve 17/22 mpg. These figures are about average for the class. The RDX’s maximum cargo capacity is fairly spacious at 60.6 cubic feet. Inside, the RDX mostly drew compliments for seat comfort and cabin space.

These figures are about average for the class. The RDX’s maximum cargo capacity is fairly spacious at 60.6 cubic feet. Inside, the RDX mostly drew compliments for seat comfort and cabin space. Several critics, though, noted that some interior materials seemed cheap. However, many liked the standard features, which include leather seats, a power sunroof, backup camera, dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth and satellite radio. A technology package adds features like an upgraded sound system, navigation and a climate control system that automatically adjusts the cabin temperature depending on the intensity of the sun. The RDX received a facelift for 2010, but otherwise has changed very little since 2007, so you might be able to save some money by shopping for an older model, so long as you know that front-wheel drive is unavailable.
I went to trip with my friends in my car. I really enjoyed the trip. It was the happiest moment in my life.
