Acura RDX Reviews
Overall the car is very reliable but the turbo charged engine delivers uneven power and gets terrible gas mileage (19 miles to the gallon overall). The suspension is tight which makes for an unsettling riding. The seats are also a bit hard. The road noise is pronounced especially on highways. Additionally, the car is a bit small for a suv.
