Love this MDX - 2002 Acura MDX
By sdf97215 - July 8 - 2:00 amI have been looking for a replacement vehicle for my 95 Subaru Legacy for 2 years. Nothing turned me on til I tried out the Acura MDX. It was comfortable for me right off the bat. I ended up purchasing a 8 month old MDX instead of a new one. It has the Navigation system which is neat but not a requirment. This vehicle is a great car but does lack some of the luxury refinements that you would find in upscale vehicles such as the Lexus, BMW, etc.

AcuraMDX - 2002 Acura MDX
By nrstycz - June 3 - 2:00 amI live 100 miles from my nearest Acura dealer. As I had hoped, I have never had a need for service on my MDX except for oil, tire rotations, and wiper blades. My only significant complaint is the wind noise from interstate crosswinds are magnified by water channels on both sides of the windshield.

Love our MDX - 2002 Acura MDX
By americare - May 25 - 2:00 amThe MDX is nearly everything we expected it to be. It is very roomy, handles well and is comfortable to drive. We did however, expect better than 18.8 mpg considering the MDX requires premium gasoline. We would also like to have had a rear window that goes down. Otherwise it is a terrific vehicle and an excellent value!

A great SUV - 2002 Acura MDX
By hdnordhaus - May 18 - 2:00 amRide and handling for an SUV is excellent, more like a sedan than SUV. Seats, driver and passenger, are the most comfortable of all vehicles I have ever been in. Fuel economy is remarkable (I get better than the claimed 23 MPG on the highway) considering the power is more than adequate.

Love my X - 2002 Acura MDX
By Caroline - May 15 - 2:00 amI have fallen in love with a car/ suv. So far I have driven through 3 snowstorms with out any fear, and driven to Florida twice. And, if someone wants to go somewhere, I volunteer to drive them. Handles like a dream, has great pickup, there is a great feeling of safety and control.

It has its quirks - 2002 Acura MDX
By Not too Impressed - April 10 - 2:00 amWhen I bought my MDX I thought I was getting quality that you would expect with the Acura name. I have never spent this much on a vehicle before and had high expectations. There are too many quirks for a $40k car. Rattling noises from every where, doors, rear seats, dashboard and some places that I just cant figure out. The driver seat back squeaks if pushed back on slightly. After a rain or car wash if you roll your window down the inside window gets wet and must be wiped off. Sometimes there is this low ringing noise that I cant figure out where its coming from. Not to mention the annoying brake clicking and gas tank sloshing.

Good vehicle but not a great vehicle. - 2002 Acura MDX
By Outlaw 06 - March 18 - 2:00 amMy wife drives the MDX primarily for shopping and shuttling around our 3 children. I drive it primarily on weekends. Like all Hondas, the MDX offers good reliability and value (dealer price gouging notwithstanding). The MDX is built well and has a very good engine and drivetrain. The MDXs interior quality and ergonomics are also very good. However, performance is average, handling is unimpressive and the vehicle is noisy at highway speeds. Braking is HORRIBLE, the MDX takes forever to stop! Additionally, the MDX is not very stylish when compared to other "luxury" SUVs such as the BMW X5 or Mercedes-Benz M-Class (regardless of the price difference).

Honda/Acura has come a long way! - 2002 Acura MDX
By cachupin25 - March 6 - 2:00 amIn my opinion best SUV for the price if compared to many European, American, and other Asian SUVs. Performance is great, has great trailering ability, all though, if at the limit of the trailering weight, the rear suspension lacks strength. Maintenance is good if compared to any European vehicle. Honda/Acura has re-engineered all their vehicles to add a european flavor to them and has also strengthened the body strucutre if compared Honda/Acuras built in the 80s.

An SUV for all the right reasons! - 2002 Acura MDX
By DallasMDX - February 22 - 2:00 amMy wife wanted a vehicle that is easy to manuever (not a tank!), nice looking, has a well appointed interior, will haul around our 3 kids plus junk and friends, and above all - is safe. And, she refuses to drive a van. Well, the MDX is the only vehicle that meets all the above criteria. And is does so with great style, and attention to detail.
