I went back a few pages and couldn't find the new car thread. My daughter just graduated college and I am helping her buy a car. She wants a small SUV and I like them as compared to a sedan for the increased height and safety. The goal is to get her something nice that will last her a number of years. I know a lot of people love the Subaru Forester but she doesn't like them - she is a girl, she has strong feelings on cars she does and doesn't like.
Right now we are focused on the Acura RDX. We are looking at 2010-2012 models with the technology package.
Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with this model? They appear to be a good bit cheaper than the Lexus RX - while, I believe, similarly sized... Is there something else she should be considering? She is a little fixated on the premium brands but the used RDXs don't seem outrageously expensive - as long as it will be reliable for 5 years I think it would be a good car for her...
