The Acura RDX has great "get up and go" power, drives smoothly, quietly and comfortably and looks sharp. There is good leg room in the front and in the back. The three backseat passengers fit fine. The cargo space is moderate, but the levers you can access from the open hatch make quick work of folding down seats easily to allow for more cargo space! The fuel economy isn't its best quality—especially when driving around town. It noticeably improves during highway driving, which is always nice to see when the electronic display of how many miles to empty actually goes up as you're driving. The sound system is excellent, and the electronic display for the navigation system is conveniently located up a bit higher on the dash for easier use by the driver. The "nanny" controls on the navigation system can be frustrating. If the passenger airbag is engaged, why can't the nav system be used by the passenger while the car is in motion!? Overall, it's a fun drive and ride and a stylish-looking vehicle.

I really liked the look and graphite color paint of the car. I thought the build quality was great, both inside and outside. Driving always felt very smooth, and I liked the brake sensitivity. Seats fold down in the back. So it is a good car for driving five people around but also for road trips, storage, and moving, as there is a pretty good capacity in the trunk. Clarity of operating systems made it easy to use and to show others how to use it as well.
