The 1st gen RDX with the 2.3 turbo is very ‘whooshy’.
For being a crossover it sure sounds a lot cooler. Surprisingly peppy too. Wonder if anyone has swapped the 2.3 into anything else...

I liked the idea of these on paper but the old school 5-speed transmission lets it fall out of boost too much for my liking.

These have surprisingly awful fuel economy, at 18 city/22 highway, all while chugging premium. I did some maths and the fuel costs would be about the same as a 2005 Lexus GX470

My dad has one that I’ve been driving while I car shop, I do like it a lot, haven’t driven it enough to notice mpgs though. I don't really like the steering, my dad's feels darty or twitchy, but the power is fun and it makes decent noises for stock. His is getting on 200k though.

I just drove one and had the same thought - it would make a heck of an upgrade for a stock Accord to put 240hp with 13psi of boost under the hood
