Great reliability and fit

This is a good vehicle and very reliable, The mileage is not too bad unless you drive too aggressive. The engine has good power, but the interior is not as quiet as I would have liked (Love Lexus for that). The base model should be avoided if possible, at least get Tech Package.

New car. Best one Ive ever owned.

This is my second used Acura. I really love my car. Maybe one day I can get new Acura. They have a smooth and comfortable ride. It is considered a luxury vechile it shows inside the suv.

Nicest and most reliable car I have ever owned.

We will more than likely purchase another MDX in the future. It is about the best car we have ever owned out of the 20 odd we have purchased since 1962. It is our first SUV but not the last one for sure.

MDX

Overall love the vehicle. Second Acura I've owned and I've like both. A few drawbacks with the MDX. Fuel economy is about 16 city. Tight steering which can get tiresome after driving for awhile. Watch out if you get the running rails. You will hit your leg on them every time you get out of vehicle unless you put one foot on them exiting the car.

Wife is very happy

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.

Outstanding SUV

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.

Beautiful and Classy ride!

Wow! What an amazing car! I went in to the McGrath Acura for a test drive and quote but walked out with my dream car! I asked the amazing staff if I could do the Happy Dance and they said they would do it with me! The people who work there are absolutely wonderful and gave me plenty of space. I've been in sales myself for over 10 years and these guys/girls were incredible to work for. The car sold itself and I was able to drive out into the sunset looking better then ever in my new ride!
