2008 Acura RDX

The good: The 2007 Acura RDX is a very fun car to drive, with a peppy engine and excellent handling. It has one of the best-sounding stereo systems we've heard, as part of its Technology package, which also includes voice-command Bluetooth integration and navigation. The navigation system has live traffic reporting.

The bad: With all the included cabin technology, Acura should have worked on a more integrated interface.

The bottom line: The 2007 Acura RDX is a good value, with practical interior space and very good drivability. Techies will delight in its cabin systems, but luddites will be overwhelmed by the many buttons and voice commands.
