• Limited off-road capability, below-average tow rating, lacks personality.

  Nice Ride - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Mile High Dude - April 11 - 10:00 am

  I can easily hold a conversation with passengers while going 80 MPH, so it is plenty quiet. I fly with ease through intersections with drainage dips, high crowns, and ruts, that slam others, car or truck. Where others loose traction on rough pavement, bouncing left, and then right, the MDX rides through just fine. Maybe that is why the others need the off-road low range gears :-). They have two hands on the wheel, hitting the headliner with their heads, while Im honking to pass. Nice ride Acura, youve tamed the SUV.

  Ready anytime! - 2002 Acura MDX
  By dboe - February 9 - 2:00 am

  This is a great utility vehicle, while having nice style, and good comfort. Acceleration is brisk, and handling is above average for any vehicle in its class. It is very stable on the road, at speed and/or under windy conditions. Space utilization is great. While it easy to load it up, the towing capacity is on the small side. Mileage is not bad for the weight of vehicle. Brakes are just adequate. They should be better, this is not an easy vehicle to snub down from speed quickly. Interior materials are on the cheap side. But so far everything seems to be holding up just fine.

  Mikes Acura MDX Review - 2002 Acura MDX
  By mikedhilljr - December 15 - 2:00 am

  We are very pleased to have purchased the 2002 Acura MDX. The outstanding exterior styling is matched with outstanding performance. Not the most powerful engine in the world, but more than sufficient for its purpose. This vehicle is highly recommended.

  Lifesaver! - 2002 Acura MDX
  By JackieCar - December 5 - 10:00 am

  We bought this vehicle Saturday, May 25, Monday May 27th, a lady driving a 2002 PT CRuiser rammed into us. We had very small damage on our bumper, the PT Cruiser had to be towed (which gives you an idea of what happened to it). Nobody was hurt, our two small kids were in the 3rd row, and everybody was fine. This may be a pricey vehicle but well worth its price since our most prized possessions (our kids) were safe!

  Best 7-passenger SUV - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Indiana Xmom - December 5 - 10:00 am

  The MDX is the perfect combination of reliability, versatility, and fuel economy, with seven-passenger seating. This vehicle has all the advantages of an SUV, all the features of a minivan, and a smooth, comfortable ride. Its fun to drive with great acceleration, and handles very well in all weather situations. We love it!

  Best SUV - 2002 Acura MDX
  By happysuver - November 24 - 11:03 am

  The MDX handles and drives so much better than any other 7 passenger+ suv its not even funny. Great convenience not having to remove the seats - we can still put 3 kids in the middle row - and fold down the rear row if need be.

  Too many unexplained noises - 2002 Acura MDX
  By JYMDX - November 4 - 2:00 am

  I like the MDX, like the way it looks, like the gas mileage (but not the required premium gas). The only complaint I have so far is the noise the brakes make (which were told is normal) and little rattles that appear out of no where. It sounds like its metal hitting metal somewhere in the second row seats. The slighest bump in the road brings on the rattle. The dealership was unable to find anything. Currently I have an old towel rolled up between the seat the metal piece that it locks onto. So far this week, I havent heard the noise again. If I dont get rid of this noise, the car will have to go because it drives me nuts!

  2002 Acura MDX Touring - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Carol F - October 14 - 2:00 am

  Best car Ive ever owned-a joy to drive. Everything seems well thought out. Stability was important to me, because my last SUV (not an Acura) was so unstable I nearly lost control of it on the freeway when I had to make a quick correction. The MDX is steady as a rock. After driving it for a year, I am as delighted with it now as when I bought it. It has been problem free.
