Our Overview

Pros

• Zippy performance from a beautifully-built, turbocharged four-cylinder with 240 horsepower.
• Wonderful steering--akin to a small sports car, not a crossover or SUV
• Like other Acuras, the RDX has a well-built interior with the feeling that it will last for the long haul.

Cons

• For a small ute/crossover, the RDX isn't a class leader in terms of cargo space.
• That zippy turbo engine doesn't save on gas--expect a combined 19 mpg rating.
• Another fuel downside: the RDX's turbocharged engine requires premium fuel.
