Can any of the current owers of these two car gives me some insight as to what you like and don't like about them.

I've been shopping all week end. Test drove 10 cars and have narrowed it down to these two.

We like the Honda (EX-L) because of it's fuel economy and it's price. Don't care for it's 4 cyl power.

We like the Acura RDX for it's turbo. It's interior is slghtly nicer then the Honda. It's ride is a little stiff and it's fuel economy isn't great on priemum gas.

Is the Acura that much better for $6,500 more?

Car's for my wife. We have 2 kids, (12 and 8) and a big Lab.

Love my CR-V. The 4 cylinders has more than enough get up and go for me, never chugs along, and is very fuel efficient ... something quite wonderful in today's world.

If you've got an extra $6,500 lying around, go for it, but I'd save the money to pay for gas.

If you don't like the I-4, then you may want to look at the Toyota RAV4. They offer an optional V6 269hp.

Or look at the Pilot, they are V6 and roomier than the CR-V.

Go for the honda, the premium gas is expensive and not worth it plus you need al the interior you can get.
