Acura RDX

The Acura RDX 5-Spd AT is a car based crossover with a potent turbocharged engine with Honda's sophisticated "Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive" (SH-AWD) system. Designed for enthusiastic drivers as opposed to large families, the Acura RDX 5-Spd AT really offers little more in terms of space and practicality than an ordinary sedan. Perhaps the perfect choice for those who have recently become parents and have had to give up the sports car but do not need a full size SUV? Using a 2.3-liter 240-horsepower, turbo engine with an impressive spread of power, low ride height and firm suspension, this vehicle is obviously not designed for rough terrain. Economy is reasonable considering the performance with 17mpg city/22mpg highway. A reliable vehicle the Acura RDX 5-Spd AT received above average ratings for mechanical and powertrain quality from J.D. Power Ratings in 2009. The Acura RDX 5-Spd AT also does well in the official safety ratings with 5 out of 5 for front and side crash test ratings. A fuel tank capacity of 18 gallons gives a respectable range between gas stops of just under 400 miles.
