  Best luxury SUV available! - 2002 Acura MDX
  By mdxmd - January 5 - 6:10 pm

  Drives like a car, but like most other SUVs, its a bit underpowered for the amount of weight it has to haul around.

  2002 Acura MDX Touring - 2002 Acura MDX

  After owning 9 vehicles this being the 10th, I find it to be the best yet. Considering I was hell-bent on buying a hybrid suv, Im pleasantly surprised how easily I changed my mind after taking mine for a test drive. I love it more each time I get in. Hate to get out when I get home, could drive it forever. All the interior controls are placed well for easy access. Roomy interior. The ride was a tad stiffer than an Equinox but I do love the way it handles. May be due to too much air in the tires. Great on icy roads. Nice tight turning radius. Unless they make drastic changes, Im fairly certain Ill buy another in 3 yrs. All the bells & whistles are great. The MDX fits me like a glove.

  Surprise, Surprise!! - 2002 Acura MDX
  By D. L. May - September 7 - 9:19 pm

  Bought the vehicle used with approximately 57000 miles on it. Bought the warranty and glad I did. Transmission had a major failure at 73000 miles. So disappointing as my warranty is covering most of the cost of repair to replace the transmission, but not all. I told the dealership I was surprised that a high end SUV would have a major drivetrain failure with just 73000 miles. I cant justify ever purchasing a Honda/Acura after this experience. Advice, dont buy this vehicle.

  BEST CAR I HAVE OWNED - 2002 Acura MDX
  By rgaray - August 28 - 8:48 pm

  I just purchased a pre-owned 2002 MDX over a month ago and to say that i am satisfied with this vehicle would be a huge understatement. This SUV drives and handles like a sedan, has the cargo space of a minivan and the ruggedness of an suv. I did a lot of research and test drove a couple of vehicles before my purchase(ML 320 being one) and am happy i made my decision to purchase the MDX.

  Disappointed - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Hench - August 18 - 8:26 pm

  Waited 6 months, had to bring back at 350 & 1500 mls for noisy front end. It appears its inherent to the X. Wind noise, tail gate slight bend and e-brake doesnt hold without extreme pressure. Im disappointed with the build quality. It wasnt worth the wait. Make sure to take a good test drive if you can. I do love the look, the interior layout and it does cruise very nice on the highway, but at $44K delivered, knowing what I know now, I dont think I would buy again with these problems.

  2002 Acura MDX Love Affair - 2002 Acura MDX
  By bccarguy90 - July 14 - 2:14 pm

  My 2002 Acura MDX has been a flawless partner in all that I have asked of it. Aside from damage caused by accidents, there have been no problems and power has proved more than adequate. It is extremely comfortable particularly on long hauls and can carry anything from garbage to people easily. This is my top pick in the lux SUV category.

  I Love My MDX - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Ramon - July 13 - 10:00 am

  We purchased our MDX in July and are very pleased with the appearance and the comfort of the vehicle. It handles the rode very well and the acceleration is excellent for this type of vehicle. We just drove our MDX from Annapolis, MD to Minneapolis, MN and the ride was a complete pleasure. I also enjoyed the number of people asking us what kind of SUV we were driving since there are not many on the rode compared to the Lexus, BMW, and the Mercedes.

  Hope This Helps - 2002 Acura MDX
  By mikelevels - May 23 - 9:52 am

  I did a lot of research before buying this car. I got the list down to MDX and Pilot, the Honda version of the same car, because I carry large speakers and needed a 49" wide car. There were no used Pilots at the time, so the MDX was it. Like everyone else, I had the transmission problem and eventually had it replaced under warrantee with no questions asked. Make sure you buy a certified car with an extended power train warrantee. Great highway cruiser. 4 hour trips are no problem. If it got stolen, Id get a Pilot to replace it.

  Still Happy - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Kenny a. - May 22 - 8:13 am

  I still love my MDX. the car has 95,000 miles on it and I am torn between replacing it with another or waiting to the new model comes out. I did have a few problems (transmission replaced at 35,000 miles & need a new motor mount at 90,000). But I still love the car. Acura has been wonderful auto company to deal with.
