REVIEWS

The Auto Channel

“Pulling myself into the luscious leather seats and gazing around offered the first hint that this is a vehicle quite special. Before even starting the engine I could sense the quietness and serenity within. Flowing shapes surround the controls, gauges and ventilation outlets. The materials all suggest quality and class and the fit of the multitude of pieces is impeccable.”

“Performance is excellent with strong acceleration, quick shifting and tight ergonomics in controlling it all. In spite of drive-by-wire throttle, and electric power steering we always felt like we had a physical connection with the car and road.”

“The Acura RDX distinguishes itself in the small, luxury CUV market with great style, excellent performance and a quiet, comfortable interior. Its price is competitive with the others in that densely populated segment of the market and is well worth considering.”
