Verdict: 2007 Acura RDX - MotorTrend Magazine
Take our long-term Acura RDX , whose stiffly sprung suspension and edgy turbo engine had the team reminiscing about our love/hate relationship with the long-term 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR SE. As with the rigid and raucous Evo, some... Several found the RDX's sheetmetal to be cute, handsome, or chic. Still, despite its controversies, the RDX found plenty of willing takers. Just look at the trusty odometer, which, at nearly 28,000 miles, is proof positive that the RDX rarely held sleepovers in our parking lot. In fact, not only did the RDX accrue more mileage than two previous (and, with three rows, more accommodating) SUVs-the Mercedes-Benz GL450 (25,771) and the Audi Q7 4. 2 (22,223)-but it also amassed the most love from our video team, who signed it... Given the RDX doesn't offer a video player, what else about it could have possibly enamored our videophiles. For camera crewmen Jim Gleason and Mike Suggett, that always meant being able to keep up safely with a comparison-test squad on a twisty road, where editors, even behind the wheels of sport sedans, could never lose the Acura , which delivers.
