Pros:
  • Powerful V6 engine, roomy interior, fold-flat third-row seat, sophisticated 4WD system.
Cons:
  • Limited off-road capability, below-average tow rating, lacks personality.

    Had a chance for a long drive from the SF area to L.A and comfort and driveability was excellent. Engine was strong in passing as well as climbing the "Grapevine". The seats were comfortable during the 6+ hours of driving. HVAC was set and forgotten and kept the cabin nice a cool, navigation system helped to find my hotel. Bose system, I enjoyed it immensely during the trip. However, it seems the radio was weak in getting and holding onto radio signals. The road noise was kept to minimum but the wind noise was annoying. It was not "LOUD" but loud enough force me to turn the volume up on the stereo to enjoy Eric Clapton.

    Great car, look far and long for the right SUV...Almost settled w/ the BMW X- 5, but glad I went w/ Acura. Saved $15000 and maintenence is much less expensive. 30000 mile service on BMW is $1200, EVERY 30000 miles (after your first 60k). No buyers remorse here...Great SUV.

  • Wind noise is ATROCIOUS - 2002 Acura MDX
    By -

    My 2001 MDX has been a DISASTER from the second week. I get TERRIFIC wind noise at speeds in access of 60 miles per hours. The dealership smiles and works on the MDX, but they wind noise continues. I have had the RUN AROUND from the Acura National folks. I would DEFINETELY NOT buy another ACURA.

  • Why I Love My Acura MDX - 2002 Acura MDX
    By -

    I truly love my Acura MDX. It is the most invigorating vehicle to drive, with extreme power and comfort. I have driven many SUVs, but this one truly takes the cake. It is the most luxurious SUV out there, and is very oppulent on the interior. I cantt say enough about it!!!

  • Efficient but boring! - 2002 Acura MDX

    Very efficient SUV, falls short of being a "Luxury" SUV.

  • Amazing SUV - 2002 Acura MDX
    By -

    Excellent vehicle drives like a towncar lifted up in the air. Excellent power and excellent sound system. The Navagation is the most accurate and easy to use, 1 disk covers all 50 states. Plenty of room. Amazing gas mileage. Nothing bad to say its great, if you can get your hands on one. High demand and short supply.

  • The MDX is the best SUV I have ever owne - 2002 Acura MDX
    By -

    This is the best SUV I have ever owned. I traded in my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee for this vehicle. This is a great automobile.

  • Get One!! - 2002 Acura MDX
    By -

    I love my MDX!! Considered Pilot, but interior/exterior quality were not the same. No sunroof or heated seats in the Pilot either! MDX does not have some features youd expect for the money - auto/HID headlights especially, and it needs the touring pkg for power passenger seat, 6 disc CD, and without it roofrack is a $300 option. Tall folks will have trouble finding a place for their left foot, and the transmission hunts for its gear on only slight upgrades. Overall, I LOVE IT!! (Build more, please!)
