"I bought a 2001 Acura MDX when they first came out and loved that SUV. I finally traded that SUV after 11 years and 186,000 miles. I wanted another MDX since I loved the first one so much. I am still partial to the old styling but I like the 2009 MDX. The price was high so I decided to buy a used one with low mileage. The bells and whistles have really added a new dimension to the car. Ine of the features I wanted when I bought the car was the back up camera but that has taken some getting used to. I still loook at my rear view mirror instead of the screen when I back up. I love the nav. system and the stereo. Great car so far."

"If you are looking for an SUV that has quick pickup and response this is not your SUV. MDX is rated very high, but I am disappointed by its performance. We noticed that there is a delay in pickup and acceleration. In our typical DC commute, we want to change lanes quickly and takeoff. I noticed that there is a drag/delay with MDX that is quite frustrating when you try to accelerate from a signal, stop sign or change lanes. Acura added a lot of control buttons that will confuse almost every one. It will take you a while to see external temperature, reset your trip meter etc. Even the radio does not display station names or song titles. (My 2004 minivan does!). The Navigation system is not very friendly either. My $150 Garmin will display speed limits and street view, where as Acura's do not. There are other irritations too. If you open the sun-glass holder, the glass will fall right down because of the door position (very silly). The ride once you are on a steady speed is good and it handles the road and turns very well. I liked the 3rd row seat."

"This vehicle is solid...low road noise, upscale materials, great turning radius, bells & whistles beyond beleif. On the downside all technology is not easy to use...NAV is not intutitive & requires much reading of the instructions to operate, and the voice recognition is tricky to use as well. Even though I don't need the 3rd row seat, it is nice to have. I feel safe in the MDX and it's fun to drive. If you want luxury and performance in an SUV, then this car maybe for you to!"

"I bought this SUV in september and it has been great, no problems, oil service is awesome, i had to get it refiled at 12000 km. The Only draw back in my opion are, the rear styling could have improved, and the performence could have had a better accleration. Other then that it is incridible!"

"Bought the car new for my wife. Got 3000 miles on it and have to say one sweet ride. The nav system is a piece of cake to use. A smooth ride and turning radius is nice and tight. The only downside is that the wipers dont come automatically when it rains.And no heated steering wheel. But im very pleased, and resale value is great. Im a big fan and would tell anyone to buy one."

"Buy this car- you won't regret it!!!! The styling of the 2nd generation Acura MDX is a big improvement!! Furthermore its interior and handling in aggressive driving are impressive. The use of trick shocks to achieve roll stiffness does have a payoff: Acura MDX's ride quality is clearly superior to that in the sportiest SUVs, from BMW and Infiniti. Noise levels are very low- the new MDX seemed quiet to me on every road surface I've ever driven it on. The 2009 MDX seems an excellent value, especially given it's available competitors (Mercedes, BMW, Audi etc.)"
