What's the best moment (so far) that you've had in the RDX?
Maybe it was "smoking"a car, being saved by the AWD in a scary situation, getting some back seat action, getting compliments about the looks of your car, what the heck do I know...Let's share them.

a few of them....
going down hill to an intersection, downshifting to second and flooring it at the turn....the AWD took over and kept me on the road.
many stares and questions on the streets as to what am I driving (white RDX with 19" optional chrome rims and tinted windows...pretty pimped out...in my opinion)

Try this site--joint site between Acura and Bose. Prices aren't cheap, but there is a variety available:

1 am at 278 bqe. from 55 to 100 racing with a infiniti m45 and an e350. I was ahead till 100mph and I let go. VTEC turbo is one of the most sexiest sounds I've ever heard.

Oh, and beating out a BMW 328i at a stop light...although it wasn't me driving, it was my friend, I was just a passenger.

Probably still paying off the R&D costs for the technology. Sorta like the $1500 CD players when the technology debuted. I think it also shows the technology hasn't achieved a large distribution yet.

Carbon Bronze Pearl 2008
I love the great feeling and feedback the RDX gives! The SH-AWD is just amazing and living in Connecticut I can't wait for that first snow fall! I'll be like a kid in a candy store. Snow!!! Lets goes for a ride!
This is my first SUV (or CUV if you will) and I love it! This is my fourth Acura. History is 1994 Integra GS-R, 2002 RSX Type-S, 2003 CL Type-S (this was a GREAT CAR!), and now my new 2008 Carbon Bronze Pearl RDX! :-)

Maybe, maybe not. Although the sound is incredible (based on the demo disc) I don't think the return matches the investment. Not sure if things are going to go to hard drive or what....it'll be interesting.

Had to be in a snow/icestorm last winter. At an icy intersection 4 cars had slid into
the ditch whilst presumably trying to miss eachother. I was the only vehicle
able to just drive right thru everything. Onlookers and towtruckers seemed to gape at the X as I made an extra sharp right while hitting the gas for extra measure! Zero slide.
SHAWD all the way...

Safety Car
1.) Ease of routine maintenance (A1, B16, etc) with the simplest of tools.
2.) Everytime we turn the key and ......it runs normally. No warning lights, no failures, no mystery electronic gremlins.
3.) I no longer dream that an evil VW Touareg is chasing me, trying to devour my wallet.

For me, I was gong to buy a jeep SRT-8. The RDX was a bit too slow for me, but based on gas prices, resale, vehicle price and just being plain nicer, I went with the RDX. Very happy I did, though I'm sure the Hemi rumble might have changed my mind a bit.
I've never really raced, but I did edge out the new V6 highlander (WOW!)

Sirrah, surely you must know that the RDX exhibits none of the unique character of heroic Bongo thrust, namely the gentle knocking of the driveshaft upon the floorpan (bong-bong-bong), nor the singular driver notification system of U-joint stress, the sound effects of #5 shot striking sheet metal as those U-joints revert to component materials.
Since there seem to be no volunteers, I will research further your final question and report after I get a good grip on thing$$.

Best moment? Coming back from Riverhead, NY and showing an average of 29-30mpg consistently...Then again I only have 1400 used miles on it, so not many best moments to speak of, yet..
