13/09/2008 04:15. I had a curious experience while driving a 2009 Acura RDX turbo: I felt nothing. No harsh vibrations, no turbo lag, no ill-handling, no excitement, and no real road feel. I concluded that everything must be hitting the same mark or level equally so that no single element was worse or better than the rest.

Actually the only area that garnered any real reaction from me was the less than satisfying materials and interior design. The logos and nameplates on the inside said Acura but looked and felt like Suzuki.

While the Acura RDX has been around since 2007, I really havent spent much time in one until now.

While I stated that nothing really stood out, thats not altogether a bad thing. I thought the RDXs acceleration was pretty strong but nothing special for a V-6-powered crossover, then... // Chicago Sun-Times
