  MDX - 2002 Acura MDX
  By ElKay - February 8 - 2:00 am

  We have had our MDX for almost a year. We have had no problems with our vehicle, and have really found it to be better than we anticipated. We have made numerous long trips and it has surpassed all expectations.

  Mini Van on Steroids - 2002 Acura MDX

  The wife and I got ours when our son was just a month old. We love the mini van like room combined with Acura style, performance, and quality.

  Honda should stick to motorcycles - 2002 Acura MDX
  By sadmatt - January 29 - 10:00 am

  What a joke. Service, and all dealers just downright rude. So you wait four months to find out the thing starts sometimes and not others. I can see why Toyota is the largest and richest automobile producer in Japan. This overpriced mini Van (what was I on when I bought this?) is just that. Buy a RX300 and be done with it. If you need to haul anymore than that wait for the new bigger Lexus. The service and car is much better.

  Good value - 2002 Acura MDX
  By drb - January 29 - 10:00 am

  For the money, it is an excellent SUV. Others cost more and offer so much less. Wind noise is horrible for this "luxury" type of vehicle. Hopefully honda will fix it with the next model year. A pleasure to drive but would be better with more horse power.

  Perfect for my wife - 2002 Acura MDX
  By pattynjeff - January 29 - 10:00 am

  We bought this vehicle for my wife and are very happy. This is a very nice daily driver. Plenty of power, roomy, smooth ride, and handles well. An exceptional value, the MDX was less expensive than the X5, RX300, and ML320.

  Very pleased - 2002 Acura MDX
  By MDX Rocks - January 22 - 2:00 am

  Just had our 7,500 mile service, and I cant praise this vehicle enough. Great power, looks, comfort, reliability. Having driven 330 miles through a serious snow storm on Christmas Eve, I feel qualified to say that the 4WD works extremely well. You can buy an X5 with options to match the MDX for thousands more, and you still wont be able to do anything about the space deficit. The extra seats and cargo space are VERY nice to have. If you want to be able to say "I drive a BMW", thats understandable - my wife and I just bought a 530i. But if you want value, the MDX is the clear choice.

  noisy ride - 2002 Acura MDX
  By RLJEB - January 21 - 2:00 am

  We purchased this vehicle for the supposed reliability and extra seating capability. After approximately 1,000 miles I began to notice a high pitch ringing noise when going over 30mph. I have taken the MDX back to the dealer 3 times for repair to no avail. Also, whenever I change gears (i.e. go into reverse after being in park) the is a loud thud when braking. Dealer tells me this a normal characterisitc of the MDXs brake callipers (sp?) adjusting. Who knows? What I do know is that I am unhappy with the entire Acura experience. I paid close to $40,000 for a noisy vehicle which I do not enjoy driving.

  MDX rules over any other SUV. - 2002 Acura MDX
  By tedpacificNW - December 30 - 2:00 am

  After owning a 99 Ch-eep Grand J-erokee for 3+ years and spending WAY TOO MUCH MONEY on minor and MAJOR repairs (after the warranty expired, of course), I purchased the 2002 MDX. Although the price on the MDX is much more than the Jeep, Ill most likely be saving money over time. The quality and craftsmanship of the MDX is by far superior than the JGC and I believe 90+ percent of all suvs on the market. This is the best SUV for golfers, because golf clubs fit like a glove in this SUV. If youre looking for a smooth, comfortable, no-rattle, luxury ride, this is the SUV to buy.

  No complaints at all - 2002 Acura MDX
  By JohnT - December 5 - 2:00 am

  After two years with my MDX Im pleased to say that I have not had a single problem with this vehicle. Its fun to drive and has a lot of space. I put two child car seats in the back and still easily fit an adult in that row. Downside: Its not truck-like enough to be "cool" and its not mini-van-like enough to be superbly useful. I was looking for a hybrid of these two things and while this is the best compromise there is, the MDX is not quite the best of both worlds. More luxurious than an Explorer, more spacious than an RX300, less expensive than a BMW, cooler (somewhat) than a minivan.

  2002 MDX Touring Nav - 2002 Acura MDX
  By valandshark - November 25 - 2:00 am

  Its been a wonderful SUV. Good acceleration and car-like handling. Lots of versitility with the third row seating. The only suggestion Id give Acura would be to have a bit more storage space behind the third seats (almost none when the seats are in use). I test drove all of the competition and it blew them all away, and has lived up to my expectations.
