stuck wt. transmission woes ??? - 2002 Acura MDX
By tfit - October 5 - 2:00 amWe just purchased our mdx after having 3 odysseys.The main objective was to move into a high quality, performance suv. Honda was always great to us when service was required on our vans. Now the problem....our mdx is having a 1500 rpm transmission shutter. it has 42000 miles. By doing proper research I know it will need a transmission. it has the same transmission probems as some hondas( that honda will cover to 100,000 miles).So far acura is doing warranty to 50,000 miles.Acura is playing games with customers and treating problems case by case , as not to tarnish the acura image by hidding its real problems from the public.

Fun/ Comfy SUV - 2002 Acura MDX
By jag69 - September 29 - 10:00 amWeve taken several long (1600 mile) trips in the MDX, and it is comfortable and flexible for us (2 Adults, 3 Children). Quiet, nice CD player, and easy to maneuver, makes it a nice machine to operate. The key fob actuated seat and mirror positioning memory is also very nice as my wife and I change off driving. We were left with a defective battery on one of our extended trips. The much touted "Acura Customer Care" was fairly useless in getting us into a mechanic for a replacement. And it was a warranty item, as the cell had a defect. That was frustrating. Otherwise, after 27000 miles, no other issues.

Acuras Best - 2002 Acura MDX
By B. Tierney - September 4 - 2:00 amWe love our MDX - so much so that we will never drive any other car. We are completely sold on this car. In almost three years we have had absolutely no problems with it. The maintenance schedule is reasonable and we have been able to keep it up with limited cost. This car is a winner!!!!

Gettin another one as soon as I can - 2002 Acura MDX
By Pdeaun - August 2 - 2:00 amThis is a great SUV! Its stylishness turns heads. Its roomy, I have filled this truck with 2 32 inch TVs (in their boxes) and still had room for the rest of the Christmas shopping bags. The MDX is a real workhorse. It has good pick-up and is not bad on gas (which is getting harder and harder to judge) As soon as I am ready, I will fly back to the dealer for a newer model

Great SUV! - 2002 Acura MDX
By unc028 - July 12 - 2:00 amIf you want a fun to drive, lots of cargo room or people room, with the capability of 4WD suv, this is the suv. It has so much cargo room with the second row seats folded down, plus it has a 3rd row in the back to let to more people sit. All I can say it is the best suv Ive ever had!

Very Dissapointing for $40K! - 2002 Acura MDX
By RedMDX - May 19 - 2:00 amFor $40K this has been a dissapointment to say the least...even if it cost $30K wed be dissapointed....its spent way too much time in the shop and there are still many things that the dealership says are normal, but they sure are annoying. Weve had to have the entire VTM (4 wheel drive system) replaced..now the tranny is being recalled! 2 other minor recalls as well. Tires are shot at 30K! gas mileage at 16/18 vs. window of 18/23...and we are easy drivers. Used to get 16/18 out of full sized V-8 Chevy Tahoe and on regular gas!!

What an AWESOME SUV! - 2002 Acura MDX
By RichGilb - May 3 - 2:00 amThis is an AWESOME SUV. I HIGHLY recommend this vehicle. It sits high and has wonderful traction. The wide wheel base makes it feel like a panther over bumpy terrain. In fact, it is surprisingly spacious inside. It is sure-footed on any type of road surface or weather condition. The all- wheel drive is one of the most sophisticated in the industry. Try it and youll see why. The VTEC engine is an animal! Very smooth, and sufficiently powerful. Acura reliability and performance. The Navigation system is one of the best on the market. The voice is excellent and pleasant, and it ties into the stereo system seemlessly.

Not first choice but LOVE it! - 2002 Acura MDX
By nbg - May 2 - 2:00 amThis was not the vehicle that I was going to buy but I decided to test the 2002 Acura MDX Touring and ended up with one.I grow to love this car more each day.This preowned came with a DVD player which is a godsend when taking trips with our two kids. I car pool to two different schools as well and can comfortably carry 5 kids and backpacks with no problems (ages 10-13). All sports gear fits (we play hockey) as well.Mileage: 17 city/21.5 hwy NOTE: Complaint to dealer re: rear brake noise was met with add on trim kit for the rear brakes. Now no noise and covered under warranty.
