I have an 08 MDX with technology with 11K miles, but was given an RDX as a loaner once. The fit and finish in the RDX is doesn't hold a candle to the MDX, but I found the ride to be a blast! The turbo really makes it fun to drive, but I just couldn't get over the interior. I thought I was riding in a Nissan Maxima! Also, it is a point well taken about the mileage it gets b/c of the turbo. MDX is more of a touring vehicle, more supple, refined, and deliberate. The 300 hp 6-cylinder is more than adequate, and I find the brakes and turning to be what I would expect in a sport sedan. All in all, I would take the MDX any day of the week, but it really comes down to what you're looking for in the car (and the extra 7 or 8K!).
