1 year anniv./happy new year !

One year RDX anniversary for me today !!

20,700 miles (due to crappy job commute, but new gig has much shorter drive). No problems to speak of (!!) except a defective center channel speaker. Average mileage is around the mid 18's (MPG), but I'm on the boost constantly.

I like the car a lot more now than when I bought it. Originally The RDX was more of a temporary solution until I could get another BMW....Now I'm strongly considering a new MDX or RL in May when the lease is up on Mrs. Rizzo's Benz.

If you are trolling the board and are considering the RDX, go for it. Once you get used to the Real Time Traffic, power, build quality, ease of entry/exit, handling, etc. you will have a hard time accepting others!

Happy New Year!

Greetings, Mr. Rizzo-

Glad everything is fine. I may be the only person on the board that puts on the fewest miles on the RDX, at the rate of 6 months. Purchased the rdx on July 15th, 2007, today's mileage is 2,590. Then again, I have a daily driver vehicle.

I got mine on dec 29th 2006. Forgot to wish it a happy 1 yr. No problems at all, though I did discover a nail through one of my tires and the car reported it right away. Got it fixed for $10 at a local tire shop. Other than that, the car has been flawless.

I drove the MDX over the week when we were in palo alto visiting family/friends. I liked my RDX much better in terms of performance. The MDX could haul lots of cargo and people but almost feel asleep driving it down to monterey bay. Kinda glad we didn't get it, because now we're back home and drving the RDX around again, it puts a smile on my face to hear and feel the turbo 4 =)

Happy New Year!

congrat! I'll be doing around 20k if I get the car..

out of curiosity.. what's mid 18's? 18.5 mpg? that sounds bit too detailed.
