I've already seen 2 RDX's that left the factory with minor screwups. The driver's side taillight was never plugged in on one of them. On the other, one of the swaybar endlink nuts was left off. Go Honda. Minor problems really, unimpressive nonetheless.

I saw one at Hokie Honda in Christiansburg Va and i didin't recognise it at first. But it 100% looks better than the 07 cr-v.

My girlfriend just bought one... Alabaster Silver... We've had it for a couple weeks now... Just broke it in... We love the car, especially the paddle shifting...

How is the power delivery in highway driving conditions? What other cars were you looking into when you chose the RDX...just wondering if it would be something I could live with everyday...the Sport Activity Vehicle...not too sure

Cheers!

The turbo spools up pretty fast, so we have initial power.. especially on a roll off... We were looking into the new Rav4's with the 3.5 V6 motors, but decided to keep it in the Honda family... If you end up buying one, you'll definitely enjoy the comfort and power of the RDX...

Hope all works out well...

Please keep us updated on how you like it. This may be on my next SUV list

Im very satisfied with mine. Power off the line is pretty good. Turbo does run out of steam in the upper rpm's but not really in that part of the powerband most of the time anyway.

Has anyone tried brake boosting? It can build full boost off the line which is niiice!...AWD launch ftw

Few pics from a camping trip

Are you really getting 29 mpg? My friend is getting 16 mpg and he's not a happy camper right now.

that's not much better then the 07 mdx. I'm getting 15mpg while driving the speed limit and no jack rabbit starts. It took $50 to fill up.
