The subcompact ADX SUV is based on the Honda HR-V and is available with front- or all-wheel drive.
But unlike the HR-V's noisy and uninspiring 2.0-liter four-cylinder, the ADX uses a stronger 190-hp, 1.5-liter turbo-four that's also found in the Integra.
Unfortunately, the engine is coupled to a CVT that dulls the experience.
While the ADX feels peppy enough around town, when you really need power or acceleration, there isn't much there.
We got 27 mpg overall, which is typical for a vehicle this size.
The ride is smoother than the HR-V's, and handling is responsive but not sporty.
Except for the comfortable and supportive suede-covered front seats, the cabin isn’t all that much different than the cheaper Honda, exuding little in the way of 'Luxury.' A big bright spot is that the controls are very easy to use.
The ADX is offered in three trim levels, but goodies like a heated steering wheel require opting for the top-level A-Spec Advance.
