"Makes you feel like a fighter pilot"
Pros: Driving position, Audio, Bluetooth phone, Seats, Solid feel
Cons: Controls need a degree in aeronautical engineering
Summary: I feel bad that a car gives me so much pleasure - but driving the Acura RDX really is a very nice experience. The driving position is great - relatively high but not like driving a truck, it handles and accelerates well and the lights and voice controls make you feel like you are landing an aeroplane. It is also very comfortable, has an amazing sound system and everything feels good quality. It handles well in the snow and just about fits two bikes in the back. A slight negative is that the Tech buttons have been arranged very aesthetically but not very ergonomically and reading the manual that describes them all is more homework than I was expecting. The normal driving controls are all simple enough.
Overall I love it - I was thinking of buying a BMW X3 but the one we tested seemed to have a transmission problem which is apparently common and it felt a risk to pay a lot more for a car that might have problems. I'm very glad I decided on the RDX. Its my first Acura and so far I'm thrilled.
