The RDX is obviously a more "luxury" crossover then the Nissan Rogue, but I'm still curious about people's opinions comparing the two. After all, people do compare the RDX with the CR-V and Mazda CX-7. From a performance standpoint, I'm sure the RDX outperforms the Rogue, but truthfully, I'm not an agressive driver. I would look to the Acura mostly for potentially better reliability, safety and maybe a more refined interior. What other features of the RDX are selling points for it over the Rogue? |

Replying to: salinas (Nov 08, 2007 1:55 pm) The Rogue has gotten some nice reviews. The only thing I see consistant in the negative area would be its small cargo area when compared to its natural competitors like Rav4 and CR-V. But that may not be an issue for you. Obviously, the RDX will be more expensive. But since you are comparing it to the Rogue, I am assuming you need more then price difference to justify your purchase one way or the other. When I price out the Rogue, I quickly got into the 27k MSRP range. Seeing how the car just hit the market, that's most likely what you would have to pay. The Base RDX is going for 31-32k. So the difference is 4-5k ish. Check out Edmunds True Cost to Own. You'll quickly learn there is more to buying a car then the initial purchase. The Rogue isn't there yet, fyi. http://www.edmunds.com/apps/cto/CTOintroController I wish the RDX got better mpg. That's my main beef with it. |

Replying to: salinas (Nov 08, 2007 9:36 am) I've driven both the RDX base model (ie; no navigation) and the fully loaded Rogue. The advantages of the RDX are primarily a few more luxury/tech toys and a generally more luxurious finish, and a ton of power in the engine (240hp). While it was a blast to drive, I walked away feeling that it was not worth the money. Also, folding down the back seats was a pain, with having to flip up the seat part before lowering the seat back. I originally saw the base Rogue and wasn't impressed, but the fully loaded AWD is another story. While not as luxurious as the RDX, it's still pretty nice, especially from the driver's seat. It handles really well, and with the manual shift option/paddle shifters it's pretty fun to drive and I can manually push the 170 hp engine to give me the power I need to get on and around on the highway. All that being said, I'll be buying a Rogue this week, mostly because of the $5000+ I'll save up front, and the big ongoing savings of 5+ mpg while using regular instead of premium. |
