I own this car- and am HAPPY

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.)

Excellent Luxury SUV
by Highly recommend the ACURA MDX

This is my first SUV and I could not be more satisfied with the MDX w/Tech package. Just the right combination of features, power, and comfort in a luxury SUV. I chose my certified preowned MDX based on warranty coverage, safety ratings, standard 300hp V6, large screen GPS, powerful cd changer/stereo with subwoofer, Sirus/XM radio, power tailgate/rear camera, third row folding seats if needed, etc. Consumer reports rates this luxery SUV as one of the best and I do not disagree.

Not a city SUV
by MDX09TECH
from Washington DC
on Mon Sep 19 2011
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.

Wife is very happy
by For the Wife
from Camp Hill, PA
on Sat Apr 20 2013
We've been shopping for about 2 months for my wife, looking at SUVs (Enclave, Toureg, X3, MKV) and this was my wife's favorite by far in looks, comfort and performance.
Most SUVs need time to accelerate, but the MDX having a honda motor, just goes when my wife wants to pass someone (very important to her).
The car we got had both the Technology and Entertainment package, so basically has all the bells and whistles. She couldn't be happier.
My only complain is you have to use premium gas, go with regular and the motor doesn't run as smoothly, but as most people say, if you can afford this car, you can afford the gas.

grate but gas is a killer
by nick chicago
from CHICAGO,IL
on Sat Mar 16 2013
They say that is goes 15 in the city and 20 on highway
IT IS NOT TRUE
ON a highway it does 20mpg if you don't go over 70-80
but in the city 300horsep need so much gas for stop-go traffic it is not funny,best it can go is 12mpg but for short trips to Starbucks and back it is 9mpg in chicago
SO IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT GAS THIS IS NOT CAR FOR YOU IF NOT THIS IS GRATE CAR AND I DON'T SEE ANYTHING BETTER TO BUY FOR 30G

High Luxury & great performance
by Luxury SUV fanatic
from Burlington, CT
on Wed Jul 13 2011
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!

The Best Car
by ST

on Fri May 08 2009
Awesome! this is the fastest and best car in the market in the SUV range, take BMW and Mercedez-Benz, they only get about horsepower in the 260'range, but this gets 300! awesome ride handling and best comfort. i love this vehicle.

Our MDX has been a real joy to own.
by Jons2k

Our MDX has been a real joy to own. The cabin is amazingly quiet which is nice on long trips. The sound system is impressive. The acceleration is ample. The turning radius is surprisingly tight for its size, which really comes in handy when it is time to fine a parking spot. The SH-AWD makes it feels like a much lighter car around the turns. The Navigation system is easy to use and especially to use and comes in very handy because it comes with a back-up camera. I feel the Sport version's rim complement the body style best. And most importantly I feel my children and wife are safe in it.

Acura MDX 2009
by Theomedic
from Ann Arbor, Mi
on Mon Feb 27 2012
The car is very nice and fun to drive. The only things we don't like are the center console set up and the fuel mileage. If the price of gas continues to climb we would trade it in for something better on gas. Great power, nice handling, sporty design. Rides very comfortable for a full time all wheel drive.

Great vehicle, I would not have parted with the vehicle except medical issues made it difficult to get into the vehicle. I already miss the vehicle.
