Good looking (when it is clean), good acceleration, relatively good cornering compared to other SUVs, quiet & comfortable ride with appropriate stiffness, fully loaded at base price, and good resell value.
My wife drives a 2008 RDX. The car is like a sport-tuned SUV. Suspension = stiff, so the ride can be pretty rough. The Engine is overall very responsive, and the brake is good as well. SInce the car is pretty heavy, the turbo lag is very noticable from stop to go. However, once it is moving, it becomes a fast - responsive - monster (Sport mode)
The OEM All season tires are ok, but not great for the snow. However, the SH-AWD was working beautifully during the last snow storms in Dec, so I think snow tires with SH-AWD should be able to turn it into a snow beast.
I really like the interior. Good leather, and very confortable seats, and roomy. The GPS is nice, and can be operated manually. However, computerize part of the radio/CD are relatively difficult to operate. Both my wife and I can barely use the voice command fuctions.
