Thanks carhelp7.
 
I'm moving from a 05 Ford Exploder (3rd one) to a CUV. So the "drive" is just as important as the "ride" to me. I'd like it to be fun as well as comfortable.
 
I'm also very curious regarding the future resale value of the RDX. Guess we'll have that data in the next couple years, eh?

#6 of 9 RDX: 07 .vs 08 Noise/Rough Ride Reports by dk168

Own my RDX for 15 moths now. Road noise isn't that bad. I hear more of an engine noise during harsh accel. No doubt its ride is stiff but on a smooth surface, it is not so bad. I owned a Camry before and I adapted to the RDX's ride just fine. However, bad road condition can make the ride bumpy and noisy.
Stiff ride however offers tight cornering. I can go 20mph over the posted speed on curves and feel the car hug the road well. I am more bothered by the small rattling noise coming from the dashboard. Well that's another subject. If comfort is import to you, I would look in to the Lexus RX350.
 
Hope this helps.

#7 of 9 High Pitched Whistling Noise by jujubee1

I've had my '08 RDX (tech) for 5 days now and loving everything about it except the HIGH-PITCHED whistling noise emanating from under the vehicle (not the hood) whether I am idling or driving. Took it to dealership today and they think it is the design of the emissions system. They kicked over two RDX's on the lot that made the same noise. Noise seems to diminish when engine is warmed up....but I can still sorta hear it. I do hear high-pitched noises easily (female species), but this is gonna drive my dog insane........has anybody else noticed this about the RDX?

So, the dealership has had my RDX for three days now attempting to fix the high pitched whistling problem. A factory rep from Ohio happened to be on site and he is an RDX owner. It was decided that a new fuel pump should be installed into my baby......I picked her up today and the whistling is DEFINITELY lower in volume. I no longer hear it with the doors closed! I am a happy camper.
