TO THE POINT What’s New? The 2007 Acura RDX is an all-new premium crossover vehicle, offering more cargo room than a sedan and better performance than a typical crossover utility vehicle.
Selling Points: Power from the turbocharged engine, SportShift automatic transmission, crisp and tight handling
Deal Breakers: Less cargo capacity than competition, base model leaves out too much technology.
Our Advice: If you want paved road performance and don’t mind trading cargo room for it, take a good look at the Acura RDX. But be prepared to pay more for high-tech bells and whistles.
