This thing is a tank

The MDX probably needs little hype - it's just an all-around great vehicle that's very capable on the road. The only negative comment I have is that it is thirsty and uses only premium gas. With 17-18 mpg in mixed city driving, that can hit the wallet a bit. It does get a more respectable 20-24 mpg on the highway, depending on your driving style.

Reliable Family Car

This was a good car for our family. Had 3rd row seat that was good for kids to sit in (not enough legroom for an adult). 3rd row would fold down for more storage when going grocery shopping, throwing a stroller or sports equipment into. Great sound system, bluetooth and gps.

Reliable and Dependable

We have loved this car and are sorry to have to let it go. But we did get a new car! The new owner will love the dependability and reliability of this vehicle.

Athletic, functional SUV

This car does a lot well (typical Honda) and looks good doing it. It may not have the room of a Pilot or other SUVs, but it drives better than most and can still get you where you want in style and performance.

Best car I've owned.

I've owned 4 MDX's, and I'm totally thrilled with them. It has a smooth ride, better than average gas mileage (up to 25 mpg on highway). It's a workhorse. I tow a small trailer at least once a week.

Plenty of space, Third Row seating, handles great

Extremely reliable, plenty of space, very strong engine and the AWD system works fantastic. This SUV is comfortable. We now own our 4th Acura MDX.

Best reliable luxury car

This car works very well for the family of 2 kids. Decent mileage, good comfort features, and good safety record. I drove nearly 120,000 miles and it worked extremely well for me

So far so good. I have always wanted to own one.

I have owned hondas almost all my life. So far this is just as good. I know they are reliable and long lasting. If you take good care of them, they will give you long lasting service.
