Pros: What do you like about 2009 Acura RDX?
This car combines so many desirable features it's hard to know where to start. The handling is wonderful and the pep is great. The gadgets include everything I want in a car - navi, premium stereo, heated power seats, bluetooth and a very attractive and comfortable interior. The space is adequate and the fold-down seats are easy to use and significantly expands the room utility.
I love the paddle shifts and they work in 2 modes. One is full manual where the car stays in the gear you put it in and semi-auto where you can downshift while in drive and run through gears and when you're done it goes back into full auto.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Acura RDX?
I have not measured the mileage yet, but 17 mpg for a 4 is pretty meager. I would have liked some additional storage space - other than the cavernous center console storage area. I don't see why the stiff suspension is considered a con - it's stiff and it's wonderful!
2009 Acura RDX Review:
This is pretty close to a perfect car for me. It handles superbly and is quite comfortable. It's a stylish looking vehicle and a pleasure to drive. All the gadgets and amenities you could ask for - I love it!

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Acura RDX?
Handling is great!
Sporty acceleration & suspension.
Luxurious interior.
Excellent vehicle
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Acura RDX?
Poor mileage rating and nowhere close to the EPA brochure write up - 12L/100 km highway and 18L/100 km city - with no heavy foot. For a 2009 model this is very poor performance.
My 2005 RL, 6 cylinder ASPEC gets 8.6L / 100 km hwy and 10l / 100 km city.
Warning regarding synthetic oil and price of oil change.
