Acura ZDX Tries To Be a Lot of Things But Rarely Delivers at Any of Them

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

If good things come in little packages, is it therefore possible that bad things can come in big packages? That’s the sense one gets after a week behind the wheel of the Acura ZDX. To mix up the metaphor somewhat, this is a big vehicle with a small inte- rior package that leaves one with a bad impression. The ZDX, as Acura proclaims, is a “four-door sports coupe … with dramatic styling, outstand- ing performance and the latest in advanced technology.” Somewhat disconcerting is this proclama- tion from an Acura executive: the ZDX “combines the best attrib- utes of a coupe, a sedan and a sport utility - all wrapped in a beautifully sculpted package.” In theory, but only in theory, does the ZDX deliver. Frankly, it offers a tight cabin, horrible sightlines, and low fuel efficiency. Its bulked up exterior suggests a vehicle that should have more interior space, but as others have pointed out, its wheelbase is only The 2010 Acura ZDX is a handsome vehicle from the outside to a lot of people (not necessarily this reviewer) but its big hulking presence gives no indication 1.7 inches more than the Acura’s of its relatively tight interior space for a vehicle its size. compact TSX and its front legroom is only .2 inches more mpg city and 23 mpg highway.My recalled approximately 1,850 real-life experience was closer to Acura ZDX vehicles to inspect the (Questions and comments about even with an additional almost 7 this review and other automotive inches in length. 18 mpg overall. dashboard surface material.

This is a thirsty It should be noted that the ZDX needs to spend an additional beast with an EPA rating of 16 is subject to a recall. Acura has $10,000 to get them. Of course, that extra $10,000 does provide you with the best sound system you will ever hear in a car (outside of the 2000 watt system available in the upcoming Bentley Mulsanne). The Acura/ELS Surround premium 10-speaker audio system with Auto Review DVD-Audio gave me a new appre- ciation for The Doors. It delivers a true concert hall experience. So, who is going to buy a ZDX? Most likely Acura MDX cus- tomers who want something a bit more stylish. It would be a mis- take because looks eventually wear but practicality doesn’t. It’s never a good sign when a press car in my driveway becomes the alternate vehicle. My 2008 Mazda5 beckoned to me a lot more than the ZDX ever did. The dashboard of the 2010 Acura ZDX is reminiscent of a jet cockpit. B12 ☎ KILLINGLY NEWSPAPERS ☎ TOWN-TO-TOWN CLASSIFIEDS Friday, May 14, 2010
