Excellent Value and Reliability

Love this SUV! Plenty of power, good handling, quiet interior. I feel very safe transporting my family in this vehicle. My only complaint is that I have to drive almost 2 hours to nearest dealer.

My Acura MDX

Almost perfect

Upgraded from an outback for more space. Nicer drive than new highlander, great interior space, very responsive sporty drive. Only downfalls for me are: no MP3 plug in, navigation touch a bit sluggish, no automatic trunk open. Minor for most. Gas mileage not great. Wish it ran on regular or better yet, wish it were a hybrid. Enough power and engine quieter than what's in the 2007 and above. Seats quite comfortable. Very satisfied.

Sporty, Stylish, Luxurious.

I find my 2006 Acura MDX Touring (Nav/DVD) to be a smart buy. As I am in my vehicle at least 6 hours everyday, it is dependable as well as fast. It never leaves me wanting for more amenities (maybe xenons). The only drawback is the combined gas mileage of 15 miles/gal. Otherwise, it meets my needs for professional and personal use. Styling is crisp and not too "techie" like the newer models.

Great Bang for your buck

I bought my Acura in 2006 and I test drove around 9 differenet Suv from Nissan Xterra, Jeep , Hyundai Tucsan , Lexus Rx 330 before I finally decided on Acura. The whole process took me about 8 months. What I liked most about the Acura was value for money / performence/ comfort and the smoth handling. It has been 3 years and about 31,00o miles and have taken multiple long drives, I have driven at crazy speeds in heavy snow something I would never do with my older car. , I did all my services on time. I got everthing Nav, Sun roof ,Bose sound system, heated seats. The only reason I gave 4 stars for exterior styling was I do not like the rear exterior styling in 2006 , 2007 they changed it and is much beter. I absolutley love my MDX

We love our MDXs

We leased a 2006 MDX and Just leased a 2008 - Both have the nav system which works well. The 2008 has the auto lift gate, which is handy. The 2006 was a great SUV, but the 2008 is a much improved performer. The 2008 fit and finish, handling, overall performance is much improved over the 2006, which is also a great SUV. We haven't used ours in the snow yet, but expect it to be okay. We have never had a problem with either MDX.

First AWD Car I've Had and It's great!

Very comfortable ride. Lacks some interior features like air conditioned seats and a tilt wheel that only goes up and down, not forward and back. Lots of room and very comfortable though. Stable ride and great traction in snow and rain.

The best SUV for less than 50K

This is a terrific vehicle, and excellent on snow and wet roads. The interior feels much more like a luxury sedan than a truck or SUV. It is amazingly reliable and trouble-free, and easy and inexpensive to service. I have a 2003 Touring Edition and am purchasing a 2007.
