"?once you've driven a few crossovers, you realize that they don't all offer the nimble, carlike ride promised in their slick advertising campaigns. The 2010 Acura RDX, however, lives up to the hype. Muscular and athletic, this crossover blurs the lines between SUV and sport sedan."

"?our FWD test vehicle earns a solid thumbs-up on the fun-to-drive front."

"It's the affordable solution for the luxury SUV buyer in search of a truly engaging driving experience."

"?it's never less than energetic around town. It's also fleet-footed at the track, hustling from zero to 60 mph in just 6.9 seconds."

"Handling is more the RDX's forte. The spry little crossover whips round the slalom cones at 64.6 mph, besting both the GLK350 (61.3 mph) and the Q5 (64.3 mph). In city driving, the RDX carries itself just as nimbly as these numbers suggest; it feels smaller on the road than many others in the compact-ute segment. Steering is on the light side, but is reassuringly precise."

"When it comes to wind and road noise, the RDX has much in common with the finest luxury cruisers. Tranquility is the order of the day within its cabin, though you might want to break the silence by cracking the window to savor the pleasant growl of its turbocharged mill."

"With lots of technology available at a relatively low price, the 2010 Acura RDX is a solid bet for all shoppers in this segment interested in getting the most for their money. Additionally, its superior handling makes it tailor-made for enthusiasts with small families who want a vehicle that offers room for the spouse and kids without sacrificing much in the way of performance and handling."
