New RDX
Looking to get an SUV when I move to the house, so we have a little extra room to haul stuff. Looking at the new RDX which seems like a natural shift from the TL. Anyone own/drive one?
The biggest hurdle is it's damn near impossible to find an AWD version in Florida. We might not get snow, but the AWD is helpful when pop-up thunderstorms dump 2 inches of rain.

IMO, the only thing the new RDX has going for it is better fuel economy with the V6. The old turbo four was a nice motor, but using the power meant 18 mpg at best.

You've got the torque vectoring system in the MDX working for you. In the RDX, I believe it's like the CR-V.... front-wheel drive until there's wheelspin.

u sure u need AWD in Florida?
i gots a MDX and living in Chicago, its a blast
but as noted above, the SH-AWD is completely different from what the RDX/CR-V has...
if ur looking in AWD and cargo space, maybe look into a Subaru Outback?
