2007 Acura RDX autoweek drivers log.

This is one car i considered waiting for. I was happy to read the first sentance of the review.

"RAYNAL: I'm torn. This is a really nice little ute, but honestly what could it do that our thousands-cheaper long-term Audi A3 couldn't?"<ul><li><a href="http://autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060904/FREE/60823004/1005">http://autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060904/FREE/60823004/1005</a</li></ul>

I was holding out to see what the RDX production model turned out to be.

I loved the concept vehicle but was greatly disappointed by the final version. I placed my order for the A3 right after the RDX NAIAS debut in Detroit. The RDX turned into a big plastic toy.

My wife was pushing the RDX hard but she can trade her MDX for one if she wants one that bad. I love my A3!

I saw a story recently about the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system in the RL in a midsize saloon comparison. You might think the system would allow you to go faster though a winding road course because of the improved handling but it slowed the vehicle due to the frequent breaking applied to maintain control.
