I went to a new model ride and drive for the new RDX. I was impressed with the vehicle overall. Handled great with a touch of understeer but body roll was really non existant. The only that I can say that was a slight disappointment for me was the acceleration off the line. It does have some turbo lag despite what the ads say. It is slight though and can be overcome by easing the throttle instead of mashing it to the floor. Interior was very nice and comfy with plenty of room. I am 6'1" and about
250lbs and I had no problem with the seating front or back. The BMW X3 is their target competition and they had some X3's there to drive and compare. NO comparison in my opinion. RDX looks and feels like a luxury vehicle while the X3 seems spartan and boxy to me. But that is just my opinion. The X3 does have more oomph off the line but the RDX easily overcomes after the lag is gone. Of course I am partial because I am the Acura God!! Oh and the MSRP is 32,995 for the standard version and 36,495 for the tech package whic includes Handsfree Link, voice activated Navi, and an ELS 410 watt stereo that kicks butt!!Also includes TPMS with actual pressure readout instead of just an indicator for which tire is low like the standard model. There will be 19in wheels available for the vehicle also. Go get you one!!!David Short Acura God
