Overview & Reviews

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

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

  Really nice SUV - 2002 Acura MDX
  By oceansix - February 4 - 10:33 pm

  The best vehicle that I have ever owned. Lots of cargo space. Good fuel mileage and range considering how powerful the engine is. Great AWD system for driving on wet or icy asphalt roads. Excellent turning radius. I like the ride and I find the seats to be comfortable. Can tow up to 4,500 pounds (boat) or 3,500 pounds if any other type of trailer towed, but requires the addition of transmission and power steering fluid coolers.

  For the last 15 years my wife has driven a couple of different SUVs and she says shell stay with the MDX. Handles great in snow and ice. Smooth on the highway.

  By RCN - January 14 - 10:00 am

  Weve owned our share of SUVs and have test driven about 20 and the MDX bar none with the exception of the BMW X5 compares. Value, reliability, roominess.

  Acura for Life - 2002 Acura MDX
  By John Q - January 14 - 10:00 am

  This is my second Acura. My first was a 1990 Integra that I still own with 135,000 miles which has no rust and still runs like a dream. I thought of buying the BMW X5, but I couldnt resist the MDX. Maybe next time, but Ill always have at least one ACURA in my garage. ACURA FOR LIFE!!!!!

  I Would Buy Another - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Freddie - November 22 - 9:05 am

  My husband and I test drove several SUVs before selecting this one. We selected it in part because it has the drive and comfort of a car unlike the truck feel of many others. The body style is great (didnt change for a few years). We like the reliability, overall style, navigation system, and mileage (is still very good). After 143,000+ miles & over 7 year it still looks and drives great. A new transmission was installed a few months before the extended warranty expired so we incurred no extra cost. No other major work has been needed. Two times the navigation malfunctioned but shortly corrected itself. We need to update our navigation CD because some locations cant be found.

  My Acura MDX Road Trip - 2002 Acura MDX
  By J Nystrom - October 25 - 2:00 am

  Just returned from a trip to California in my new 02 MDX. Car handled extremely well, passed most other cars going over 10,000 ft Colorado passes. Extremely comfortable front and middle, a little cramped in third row. At 75 MPH, still has a lot of additional passing power, and is very solid on snow/ice. Very good visibility all around and roomy with third row seats folded down. Gas mileage on trip ranged from around 18 to 22 MPH. Extremely happy with this car.

  Best mid-size suv on the market period!! - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Mickey - June 15 - 11:41 am

  I love my MDX and would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone. The styling, features, performance capabilities on this vehicle was everything I could have hoped for. Driving the MDX you feel like your in control of the road. It hugs the turns like a race car. The MDX is sporty, safe, and very roomy inside. I love my MDX!!

  Good quality built in North America??? - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Puma - June 8 - 10:00 am

  The car is well biult but a few inches too high. Sunroof too small for this size of a car (much smaller than competiotion). Lumbar support very primitive, not effective.

  i want another - 2002 Acura MDX
  By mdxking - May 26 - 3:50 am

  I cant belive i waited 5 months for the vehicle, but it was worth the wait. The standered features are unbelivable. I never thought i would use the navigation system, but it is a lifesaver i dont have to get out and ask for directions.(male thing) After my brother saw my vehicle he went and ordered one to. he only has to wait 3 months.(no fair) Life goes on.

  Like My Acura - 2002 Acura MDX
  By "Wicky" - April 23 - 10:01 am

  We just got our Acura and love it a lot. Its quick, roomy & luxurious. The sound system is great and we really like the memory seats. Bottom line is that this vehicle has outstanding standard options. The only additional feature I wish ours had is the "navi." Weve only had it about a month but thus far it rates right up there in the top 3 vehicles Ive owned.
