Just leased a 2016 RDX Base AWD. Looked at Honda CRV Touring, Honda HRV EX-L, Mazda CX5 Grand Touring, Lincoln MKC base, Lexus NX200T base, BMW X1 Base. What sold me on the RDX was comfort, engine, residual value, MPG, and features.

The Honda's and Mazda would have came fully loaded but the lack of nameplate cache for what I would be paying a month was a little bothersome but what really got me was the lack of power and refinement. The RDX has a Lexus RX feel and ride and a really great 3.5 that can do about 0-60 in 6 seconds. The NX200T and X1 by far had the best cache and most sporty feel and driving characteristics but the Lexus was too expensive since no one in my area carried a bare bones NX and the BMW X1 Base was just too basic lacking some really basic features even a Honda would have. The MKC was my second choice with its lively 2.0 turbo charged engine and nice styling, but the MKC based on the Ford Escape has bellow average reliability and the base MKC is a little bare bones and options quickly raise the price.

The only thing(s) I don't like about the RDX are the kind of plain interior that doesn't have any unique or premium stitching or materials and the fact that it doesn't come standard with blind spot warning or backup sensors. Other than that the RDX is a really comfortable crossover, with great cargo space, and great acceleration.
