RDX Review
Source: Edmunds

...I'm a first time Acura purchaser in her 50s. I reviewed several SUVs of this size and type (including BMW X3) but the RDX kept coming to the top of my final list.
And I'm really happy with my choice, it was the right one for me.
I really liked both the test drive and the time the dealership spent on answering my questions.
Its a very comfortable ride, and I ride high up, which I like.
I feel very safe in my car and it gets me where I need to go. I've only had it a month and have more to learn about its many features (the tech features are amazing), but it will come in time...

Great Vehicle - You will love the 2010 Acura RDX
Source: MSN Autos

...The 4 cylinder really does a great job and I noticed even better pick up after the first 1000 miles. I recently average 26.2 miles on a highway trip of about 250 miles. Better than I expected. In addition, I like the modern look and the amount of features included in base model. I looked at the Audi Q5, VW Tiguan, Volvo X60 and the X3. I liked them all with the exception of the tiquan. Nothing wrong with it, it just seemed much smaller than the others. If money did not matter I may have went with the Audi Q5. But it does and the simlilar equipped Q5 was $42,500 and I paid about $32,000 out...

2010 RDX (AWD)
Source: Edmunds

...I have only had this vehicle for two weeks but I have enjoyed it very much.
It is fun to drive, has the power I need when merging on to the highway and I love when the turbo kicks in.
Not very pleased with the road noise and you feel every bump, that's something that my wife and I both agree on. The road noise you can get use to but the bumps are another thing...

RDX 2010 SH-AWD with Tech
Source: Edmunds

...Absolutely best car I ever drove. All wheel drive is a blast to drive in the rain and snow...
the tech in the car is amazing. The only downside is the gas mileage getting about 17-19 on highway. Probably needs to break in some more. Pretty quick for a 4 cylinder. Seats are very comfortable...

Great around town vehicle
Source: Edmunds

...This car is a blast to drive. I'm a long time Acura MDX driver and the RDX is a lot more fun in daily highway/city driving.
When I'm not cranking up the turbo, I seem to average about 23 mpg with the 2-wheel drive...

FUN TO DRIVE

...Pros: fun to drive nice styling good handling Cons: gas mileage could be better Overall: well worth the money for midsize suv...

#7
Excellent Value and Fully Loaded
Source: Edmunds

...After testing the BMW X3, Lexus, and Audi Q5 we happily selected the RDX.
For the value the "base" model includes Bluetooth, heated seats, nice sound system, real time rear camera which shows up in the rear view mirror (pretty cool, just to name a few features.
These features are additional packages in other crossovers and add a great deal to the cost. Moreover, the RDX is fun to drive with plenty of pick up, especially around corners...

The right car for me
Source: Edmunds

...I had an Accord, and wanted more cargo versatility.
Drove several other small SUVs (Rogue, CX-7, EX-35), and the RDX was the obvious choice.
The EX-35 was great, but just not enough room. The others were not comfortable enough, both in seat comfort and ride quality.
The RDX does seem too stiff on city streets (my '98 Accord was smoother).
But it has a solid feel, very smooth on the freeway, great acceleration, plenty of upscale features - basically a blast to drive. My wife can have her cushy Lexus. I prefer the sporty Acura...

For The Money A Great Buy And Its Reliable!
Source: CarGurus

...Overall - an excellent car, nice interior, good to go when you need the power, and yes the ride could be a little better, but the handling is great especially in the snow.
But best of all it saves me time because its RELIABLE!!!!! (i.e. not one trip to the dealer for repairs, unlike some other brands that are European)...

#10
Awesome

...This is the second Acura I have owned, the MDX being the first.
All things considered it is the best small SUV on the market period. I looked at them all- BMW, VW, Audi, etc. As long as you are not looking for a troop transport it has plenty of space...

Why should I also consider these?

Shoppers are still moving toward smaller SUVs, but sporty, luxurious ones like the 2010 Acura RDX are especially rising in popularity.

The BMW X3 was one of the first entries in the niche, but its substandard interior (at least initially) and rough ride keep TheCarConnection.com from recommending it.

Infiniti's EX35 is a blast to drive with none of the turbo lag, but its fuel economy is worse than that of the RDX.

Land Rover's LR2 feels plusher than the RDX, with the LR2 owning a bit of off-road edge.

VW's Tiguan also has a turbo four, but somehow it's a lot easier to live with.

The Mercedes-Benz GLK is another new entry in this group-it sizes up with the rest but manages to feel a bit more mature and refined; for now, it's only offered with a big V-6.

The Audi Q5 is another new entry set to come out late in the 2010 model year.

 
2009 Audi Q5
The 2009 Audi Q5 sports the sleek lines of a sweet German sedan, a date-worthy cabin, and good, hefty, but gimmicky handling.
 
2009 Volkswagen Tiguan
The 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan aims for the likes of the Honda CR-V and hits a little higher--in price and sophistication.
 
2008 Infiniti EX35
Because of the Infiniti EX35, 2008 could be year of the right-sized crossover. Many people are looking for SUV style without SUV size, and they should be particularly attracted to this offering.
