  better than the more prestigious names - 2002 Acura MDX
  By bjg - October 15 - 2:00 am

  I owned and Explorer, Grand Cherokee and an X5 before buying this one. It drives extremely well on and off road, provides luxury and utility in large doses and has a great sound system. There is also the added benefit of Acura (Honda) quality and I havent even had a small rattle yet.

  Ill buy another - 2002 Acura MDX
  By ReiverToo - October 15 - 2:00 am

  I love this car...er,truck...er,SUV. Ive owned it 2 yrs & have found nothing that I seriously dislike & a whole bunch thats great. I live in the So.Cal. mountains & spend a lot of driving time on curvy, up & down roads. The MDX handles super. It is fun & stable to drive. On ice & snow the AWD really comes through. It has an amazing amount of interior space considering the outside appearance. The biggest negative with the vehicle is the dealer network. Having owned two MBs and two Lexi, Ive become spoiled by excellent service. Acura dealerships(Ive been to three)are about on a par with Ford. Not what you expect of a supposed luxury nameplate.

  X5 Beatter - 2002 Acura MDX
  By maxw - October 15 - 2:00 am

  I have had an extrordinary experience with my MDX. The ride is excellent and the most features are convenient. I have not been able to get the home link to work with my garage door opener, but otherwise it has been great. The only bad thing to say is the Acura dealiships know they have a good car and are sometimes a little arrogant.

  MDX is Best All-around SUV - 2002 Acura MDX
  By imbuer - October 12 - 2:00 am

  After shopping all the others for over 6 months, we decided on the Base MD-X (2002). We almost bought an X5 4.4, but it is too costly and no where near enough room, (and the 3.0 doesnt have enough power). After almost a year of ownership, we like it even more than we thought we would. Incredibly smooth and effortless power/torque, great gas mileage (up to 26 average on highway), pretty good handling (but not quite as good as X5), and plenty of room for hauling, tailgating, etc. The base sound system is more than adequate, and by buying the Base MD-X instead of Touring, you make up some for paying close to MSRP.

  Acura MDX - Best Value - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Silvia Suttle - October 4 - 2:00 am

  I compared all Mid-sized SUVs and the Acura MDX was the best value. I waited for about a year before finally getting the MDX and it was definately worth the wait. I love my car!!

  MDXcellence - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Scott Flood - October 2 - 2:00 am

  I have been driving my MDX for 2 years and have loved it. This vehicle is so big on the inside and still fun to drive. You can handle it with ease in a parking lot or a winding road. Better gas mileage than many cars. I have even seen 29.5 mpg on a couple of highway trips. Usually 24-25 mpg on hgwy. I have had it on dirt roads and fire trails as well as family trips with golf clubs and gear for six. This vehicle is great. Bigger second row than Tahoe and easier to get in and out.

  Accura will also be my next car - 2002 Acura MDX
  By chow-chow - September 28 - 2:00 am

  I had owned 4 american cars before, they gave me a lot of mechanic problems. Inspite of a lot bad commends about this MDX, I think this is the BEST car I ever own. I got no problems with the engine so far.

  A Rational Persons SUV - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Rational Buyer - September 22 - 2:00 am

  I drive SUVs because I need the interior storage space for golf equipment, antiques and garden supplies. The Acura MDX easily offers the largest cargo space of any mid-sized SUV on the market. With the rear seats down, you can fit a 4 by 8 plywood sheet flat between the wheel wells. To have this in a luxury vehicle engineered by Acura makes this a no-brainer. If you want an SUV for the real world, buy an MDX. IF you want a rather useless hood ornament to impress your neighbors or prop up a low self image, buy an X5 or an RX300.
