A national newspaper in Canada (the National Post) has published a positive review of the RDX. Here is the link.

Has anyone actually seen a bad review yet? I mean a review where overall the reviewer didn't like the RDX? I haven't...and I'd really like to read one. Every review has had one or two negative things, but to date, they amount to nits. With all the good reviews, the whole sales number thing has me stumped...

according to one of the dealers i talked to in canada, they said the rdx is more appealing to the canadian market than the american market...something to the lines of "americans like bigger cars"...

perhaps our american friends can comment on that? (but might be hard on a board where people already own or are interested in the rdx)

although, the dealer may have just been saying that to boost the overall appeal to me (being a canadian)!...and to not negotiate from MSRP.

 

A stumbled upon this article. IMO, the tone of the article presents it as a bad review. Not really sure, but your would be appreciated.

link not working for me

 

I suspect RDX's SH-AWD and overall superior handling is a bigger plus in regions with more inclement weather.

 

Ok - I read it. Your link doesn't work, but anybody interested can get to it by going here:

Then click 'more reviews' under new cars, Acura, and 2007 RDX.

Overall, I'm not sure what to make of that review. They liked some stuff and didn't like other things. The reviewer seemed to be a bit sarcastic, but overall more confused about what Acura was trying to do, rather than bashing the RDX.

I also found it odd that some RDX sources seem to say that this thing is built on the CRV platform, and others say it is totally unique. I also found the complaint about the ebrake pedal a bit funny. He complained that it was too low and in the way when trying to get his left foot from the floor to the regular brake pedal. I'm sorry, I don't care if you're racing or not, I can't STAND driving behind two foot drivers, and I don't consider that a valid complaint.

So was it negative? I don't think so. It certainly wasn't NEARLY negative enough to make me reconsider my purchase if I happened to still be shopping...
