Trying to decide between a BMW X3 and an Acura RDX?

I test drove the RDX yesterday and while I wasn't as impressed about the exterior, the interior completely floored me! Everything is voice activated! You can give commands to the Navigation System, the a/c, the phone, etc! On the other hand, the BMW X3's exterior is so sleek and so BMW! I love the way it's so zippy and agile! But when you sit inside, it looks so BLAND. I know it's supposed to appeal more to the sports car driver but for that amt of money... shouldn't it have SOME sort of extras? Any comments/suggestions?

Well both are fine, but quite different cars...

What you choose ought to be what 'grabs' you the most. As you said, if the interior is it, then it sounds as if you've already made your choice.

However, if prestige or ultimate handling is a priority, then the scale tips in favor of the Beemer.

...and going the other way...if dollar value, reliability, and the lowest cost of ownership is important, then the Acura is a sure bet. And though the RDX is no slouch of a machine, BMWs truly are among the 'Ultimate Driving Machines'. The problem is they're also among the ultimate money pits...poor reliability %26 overpriced to service. One has to credit Honda (Acura's manufacturer) with building vehicles that are successful in appealing across a broad spectrum of buyer wants.
