Hey guys,
Myself and three of my friends recently started up a hobby website (hopefully someday more than a hobby) and we did a review on the RDX. We'd love to hear what you think. Check it out.

link doesnt work

 

typo in his link, try this: http://www.autoinsane.com/content/view/50/43/

 

nice write up. too bad you didn't test drive the tech package. i know to some the layout of the radio & climate controls seem "crowded", but the tech package allows you to control many of those features by voice commands. most techies don't mind the layout & quickly learn it & like all the controls.

the only other item i disagree is the average gas mileage. i have tested it using both the information center & actual miles per fill up. i have consistently average (both ways) 22 miles a gallon (with plenty of highway miles). i basically get 23 miles for highway & around 17 for city (less than rated but much more than your test results). i only use 93 octane. it all depends on the driver & how you push it (i am a fairly aggressive driver).

 

useful info

 

It appears both your link and your article need a little more proofing. From the 7th paragraph of your article:

"The price tag for our base model RDX is a presentable $32,995. That is about $5 less than the X3."

Normally we refrain from correcting typos on the boards, but yours is a "published" article. It's clear what you meant however a little more proofing will help you retain credibility. Other than that nit, good article.

 

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry about the link, I'm not sure what the problem is because it seems to work fine in mine. Oh well. Anyways, we've requested a MDX and a TL so hopefully we will get those reviews up soon. And I will personally triple check the articles. We have been trying to keep everything we write personalized and at more of a consumer angle. I guess typos are about as personalized as you can get

Here is another link that isn't acura related but it's just funny (hopefully this link works)

Enjoy!

Looks like a car I raced against a few year ago that a chick was driving. There was also a guy out in a super fast turbo Dodge Caravan.

As for the review I agree with your assessment that the RDX screams you should have got the tech package. I'd also add that it is Acura's first turbo motor though lots of people have put aftermarket systems on Hondas and Acuras for years.

 

WOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT THE HELL IS THIS COLOR? THAT'S HOT..

 

Looks like the standard taupe interior with maybe an orange sunset lighting it up.

 

Not sure what the interior color was. Yeah, we were really hoping to get the tech package, but unfortunately we are given the cars so we never know what we are going to get. I will see if I can dig up any of the other interior photos we took and post them on here.

 

Here is a link to the other photo gallery of the RDX. It has a couple of interior shots. I will see if I can find more.
