It was just an unexpected test drive- RDX was not really on my list, but I thoroughly enjoyed the drive and couldn't see myself driving anything else. Glad I made this choice.

Introduction
Reviewed: 2013 Acura RDX
4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWDWhy the 2013 Acura RDX?
Coming from a v8, I thought I'd sacrifice power availability. This 6 is responsive, can kick it when needed and deliver reasonable mileage.
Really pleasing interior. Up to date but not flashy and over complicated. Materials feel great and the colors & finishes play off each other nicely. Easy hatch release, rear seat fold down release from the hatch or seats. Keyless entry/start&stop fun to use.
Great visibility all around with nice open feel. 3 position rear camera is amazing. Comfortable driving position simple to find.
Everything is well laid out inside and right where you expect to find it. MMI not too complicated tho some manual reading will help.
9100 miles in one year and it has been a treat.
Why Not the 2013 Acura RDX?
Things missing that I would love to have had: height adjustability on front passenger seat more play with exterior mirrors power folding mirrors cooled seats
Would love a bold red!
Conclusion
Chose this over Mazda CX5(boring interior)
Audi A5(pricey and spotty rep)
BMW x3(pricey with options)
Ford Escape(2013 hadn't yet been on dealer lots)
Very happy after year one.
