    Acura RDX Road Test
    Introduction

    The RDX doesn't push the envelope in styling, handling or interior quality, but it's benign, comfortable, and easy to live with. One high point is its smooth, powerful V6, which, combined with its six-speed automatic transmission, manages a very respectable 22 mpg overall. Handling is sound but not especially agile and the ride is a little stiff. Controls are unusually simple but interior ambiance is rather plain-Jane for a supposedly luxury-class vehicle and not many upscale comfort and technology features are available. Nevertheless, the RDX proved competent all around, and it comes well equipped for the money.

    Summary

    Best Version to Get

    We'd spend the extra $2,300 or so and get the Technology package. At around $39,000 so-equipped including all-wheel-drive, you get a luxury nameplate for just slightly more money than a loaded Ford Escape.
