The first word that comes to mind after driving the Acura RDX is "disappointment." While the RDX does offer sports-car handling and would by my SUV of choice driving up a twisty mountain road, it falls short in so many other important areas. Inside the RDX you'll find lots of road noise, engine noise, and a very annoying hiss from the turbocharged engine. The engine's non-linear power delivery makes the RDX frustrating to drive around town. In addition, fit and finish was not up to luxury standards. I really wanted to love the RDX, but all these issues add up to one vehicle I could never live with.
