Mrs. W. and I visited a local Acura dealer to look at an RDX for her. She was enormously disappointed finding it way too small, particularly behind the rear seat where she piles her shopping. She rejected it out of hand. I was mucho relieved because there is no way on God's green earth this car is worth the $45,000+ asking price relative to the Mazda CX-7 or Toyota RAV V6.
The showroom car's front seats were in the most forward position and could not be adjusted because the battery was flat or disconnected. I couldn't get into the car with the seats in that position, though wifey fit. The rear doors were locked and the salesman didn't know how to unlock them. Nor did he know how the rear seat folds. He offered to bring a car from the storage compound for us to look at but we balked at standing outside in the dark and rain to look at a $45,000+ car.
Wifey also wanted to look at the 2007 MDX but the available one was also outside, though there was a 2006 MDX demonstrator car in the showroom. Go figure! We may look at an MDX at a later date but at a quoted price higher than the Lexus RX350 and much worse resale value I doubt it will be a contender.
