Very Reliable SUV

So glad that my husband night this SUV for me 4 years ago. It is so reliable and never really had problems with it.

The Best Car I've Owned

I owned this car for 17 years. It was reliable the whole time, drove smooth and felt safe. The inside was spacious and made it perfect for everything from road trips with family to moving furniture. It didn't require repairs for many years, and held up for many trips across the country. By the time I chose to retire it, it had 234,000 miles on it. At that point, the repairs exceeded the value of the car. Overall, it was a really reliable car.

Great vehicle

So much hate for an outstading vehicle. I bought my acura mdx when it had 76k miles and after seven years and 130k after. My acura still runs strong, i like it so much that i decided not to buy anything else thats is not an acura. I plan to drive my mdx to the grown and i can say that will get at least 350k miles out of mine.

Do not buy MDX

Problems from day one - large bills constantly, paint oxidize, lights oxidize, raido doesn't work fixed four times, Acura does not stand behind. To bad because nice looking, comfortable and wish it was reliable. Had since new and always took care of - just not a good suv

Great Vehicle

Highly recommend the MDX - extremely reliable and well-appointed. Great family vehicle with seven seats. Leather interior, good sound system, lots of room in the back.

MDX is a Beast

I recently acquired my mother's 2001 Acura MDX. She was the original owner and put 173,000 miles on it. She had very little trouble with it and when I needed a car I was glad she was also in the market. Despite the mileage I am confident this vehicle will serve us well for at least a couple more years. It is extremely versatile and, of course, dependable. The MDX is a bit underpowered and uses a lot of gas. That being said, if you are considering a mid-size luxury or even near luxury SUV You will be hard pressed to match the balance of the Acura MDX.

You cannot go wrong with this SUV!

Great in the snow. Easy to maneuver - tight turning radius, Bose sound system, heated seats, spacious and quiet for long trips or around town. Everything you could want or need in a luxury SUV at a great price!

Never an issue

I was never once surprised by a mechanical issue. I replaced items as they were recommended by manufacturer life limit, and I handled the one significant recall item (Tranny, EGR Valve) and sold it only because my needs changed to require a pure truck. Loved the car for 70K miles after buying used at 48K. That third row came in handy a several times. Sorry to see it go.
