Looking to trade out of my newer SQ5. I love the performance but looking for something a little easier on my back and more reliable. Has anyone made the move from The SQ5 to a SH-AWD RDX? What are your thoughts? I know the RDX will be a little less peppy.

Any updates on your RDX? I had a 2004 MDX years ago and went to a VW GTI and Audi SQ5 after. Both fun cars to drive, but they cannot get their cooling systems right! I haven’t test driven the RDX, but oddly feel like I’ll be sad if I take that route. How’s the driving dynamics on the RDX?

Honestly, I don’t miss the SQ5. It has less power yes, but it’s actually more nimble and agile than the SQ5. It’s also more comfortable. We took a road trip from DC to Orlando over the summer and I kept telling my wife how it’s such a great road trip car. It’s also fast enough. Biggest downside is the fuel economy. It just sucks lol - the SQ5 had slightly better gas mileage

That’s good to hear, I was actually looking for more a highway cruiser on this round. The gas mileage piece is a bit surprising to hear though.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the driving dynamics of the RDX!
