• Powerful V6 engine, roomy interior, fold-flat third-row seat, sophisticated 4WD system.

• Limited off-road capability, below-average tow rating, lacks personality.

  Good value - 2002 Acura MDX
  By drb - January 29 - 10:00 am

  For the money, it is an excellent SUV. Others cost more and offer so much less. Wind noise is horrible for this "luxury" type of vehicle. Hopefully honda will fix it with the next model year. A pleasure to drive but would be better with more horse power.

  noisy ride - 2002 Acura MDX
  By RLJEB - January 21 - 2:00 am

  We purchased this vehicle for the supposed reliability and extra seating capability. After approximately 1,000 miles I began to notice a high pitch ringing noise when going over 30mph. I have taken the MDX back to the dealer 3 times for repair to no avail. Also, whenever I change gears (i.e. go into reverse after being in park) the is a loud thud when braking. Dealer tells me this a normal characterisitc of the MDXs brake callipers (sp?) adjusting. Who knows? What I do know is that I am unhappy with the entire Acura experience. I paid close to $40,000 for a noisy vehicle which I do not enjoy driving.

  Liberty loves it! - 2002 Acura MDX
  By ladylib - November 13 - 2:00 am

  The MDX was not without inital minor problems (the thud, the weeping mirrors) but both problems were resolved by Acura and the dealership. Hubby was recently in a 50mph freeway crash in our MDX, and while our vehicle is pronbably totalled, he wasnt. This vehicle has earned its admirably high safety rating - it did what it was designed to do and Im grateful. Those foks at Acura build an awewsome egg crate. Were not looking elsewhere - were just planning on replacing our damaged MDX with a newer model. Thanks Acura!

  I purchased this vehicle after comparing with other SUVs. I particularly liked the ride quality and luxure amenities vs. other SUVs I drove. Acura has put together a nice blend of funtionality and luxury.

  A Great SUV - 2002 Acura MDX
  By MDXowner - November 1 - 2:00 am

  The MDX is a capable blend of SUV, and family car, with a dash of sports car thrown in. The exterior styling is distinctive and elegant. It looks sporty and clean. The touring package adds nice wheels and a roof rack which compliments the overall styling theme. The interior design is on par with most cars in this class. It hosts a bevy of standard features such as leather trimmed seats, 8-way power drivers seat, and heated front seats. The engine is refined and strong.

  Good car for the price - 2002 Acura MDX
  By first acura - October 19 - 2:00 am

  Did not like the look of Pilot. Needed 7seats. Dont want truck based SUVs because dont really need off road capability(just rough road cap. is fine). Fullsize is too bulky and cumbersome. Volvo is expensive and has questionable reliability. ===========> Acura MDX was my choice.

  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.

  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.

  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.
