  • Not a Truck! - 2002 Acura MDX
    By -

    Excellent road performance, especially on mountain roads where it is fun! Was considering the Sequoia, but the Sequoia drives like a (well designed) truck and has the interior design feel of a lower level vehicle. The more I drive the Acura, the more pleased I am. The BMW would have been nice, but not at the price and with one less row of seats. The dealer we bought from was outstanding, but another we tried were like sharks.

  • Best SUV in its Class - 2002 Acura MDX
    By -

    Exceeds expectations. Car is easy to drive, has good performance, and is versatile. Compare to competitors vehicles has very few problems for a first year car. Reliability has been excellant thus far. We looked at BMW (fun to drive but cargo area non existent ), Mercedes (3rd row seating doesnt cut it), Lexus RX 300 (nice but too small), and Chevrolet Tahoe (Reliability history). The MDX took all the features we wanted and liked, and integrated them in a seamless well designed, safe, and reliable vehicle.

  • Excellent auto - 2002 Acura MDX

    The car is very quiet although road noise could be lessen. The interior is well laid out and very comfortable. I like the idea that the 6 CD player is part of the radio in the dash rather than the glove compartment or trunk.

  • Best Crossover available - 2002 Acura MDX
    By -

    15,000 fantastic mile so far, drove it from Massachusetts to Florida and back, 20 MPG average and easily cruises at 90+ MPH all day long. Air conditioning is excellent, handling, comfort first rate. It is very quite even at 90 MPH. Id recommend it to anyone

  • A NEW Acura As Good As The Acura Legend - 2002 Acura MDX
    By -

    This MDX is one of the best craftsmanship found on a new car today for under $40K. I previously owned a Lexus RX300 and let me tell you, the RX300 was a horrible car! Im sorry, but its true. If youre looking for premium luxury at a great price, go for the MDX Premium. Youll love it!! By the way, I also own a 94 Acura Legend, its the best Acura since the Legend.

    I loved this vehicle. It is fun to drive and cruise.

  • Best out there - 2002 Acura MDX
    By -

    I was one of the first to own the MDX and never had any regrets. I once got a flat in a bad area and Acura Roadside Assistance came to the scene and changed my tire in less than half an hour! Never had any trouble with the car, it lives up to Acuras reputation of reliability. Performance is amazing both on and off road. I truly believe some of the other consumer ratings were posted by RX/X5/&ML owners. They paid thousands more for so much less, I dont blame them for their animosity.

  • Couldnt be happier - 2002 Acura MDX

    Drives like a sedan. Its roomy and the rear seat folds flat for lots of storage space. Excellent fuel economy so far, averaging about 20 mpg. Outstanding navigation system. Easy to use. Also very good acceleration with the 240 hp engin.
