  Lifesaver! - 2002 Acura MDX
  By JackieCar - December 5 - 10:00 am

  We bought this vehicle Saturday, May 25, Monday May 27th, a lady driving a 2002 PT CRuiser rammed into us. We had very small damage on our bumper, the PT Cruiser had to be towed (which gives you an idea of what happened to it). Nobody was hurt, our two small kids were in the 3rd row, and everybody was fine. This may be a pricey vehicle but well worth its price since our most prized possessions (our kids) were safe!

  Best 7-passenger SUV - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Indiana Xmom - December 5 - 10:00 am

  The MDX is the perfect combination of reliability, versatility, and fuel economy, with seven-passenger seating. This vehicle has all the advantages of an SUV, all the features of a minivan, and a smooth, comfortable ride. Its fun to drive with great acceleration, and handles very well in all weather situations. We love it!

  Best SUV - 2002 Acura MDX
  By happysuver - November 24 - 11:03 am

  The MDX handles and drives so much better than any other 7 passenger+ suv its not even funny. Great convenience not having to remove the seats - we can still put 3 kids in the middle row - and fold down the rear row if need be.

  2002 Acura MDX Touring - 2002 Acura MDX
  By Carol F - October 14 - 2:00 am

  Best car Ive ever owned-a joy to drive. Everything seems well thought out. Stability was important to me, because my last SUV (not an Acura) was so unstable I nearly lost control of it on the freeway when I had to make a quick correction. The MDX is steady as a rock. After driving it for a year, I am as delighted with it now as when I bought it. It has been problem free.

  Great Vehicle - 2002 Acura MDX
  By jsdtbd - October 11 - 2:00 am

  I have read the most recent reviews (from Aug 2003 to present) and I agree, there is a clunking sound with the brakes when changing gears. Concerned me at first but realized it was normal. However, something should be done about it in future models.I have had no problems with paint-thankfully! We did purchase this vehicle based on Consumer Guide. It has met all of our expectations. It is pricey and you will pay full sticker for one. But very enjoyable to drive.

  MDX Touring with NAV - 2002 Acura MDX
  By RCTANNING - October 7 - 2:00 am

  We researched, and test drove them all. The MDX on our first trip was a dream to drive. The car type ride, performance ,luxury feel, full size, and egonomics sold us. 26 MPG freeway driving. I and friends strongly recommend it.

  ? paint problem - 2002 Acura MDX
  By WifesSUV - August 16 - 2:00 am

  I love the MDX however have had one disconcerting observation. The paint seems to chip quite easily.I have now noticed a paint bubble on the hood. I have owned nearly every make of auto and am somewhat concerned about the integrity of the finish on this vehicle. Futhermore, I have noticed this on other MDXs in parking lots. I found a newer MDX with a 3-4 mm rusted rock chip on the hood in a parking lot. This seems odd. I would be interested in getting feedback from other owners.

  Excellent SUV for - 2002 Acura MDX
  By SusanY - August 14 - 2:00 am

  This has been a fantastic vehicle for me and my family. Comfortable for long drives as well as long commutes. Gas mileage is good for a large vehicle and reliability has been perfect. We see the dealer only for scheduled maintenance -- and our dealership offers service well beyond what we expect every time.

  LOVE MY MDX - 2002 Acura MDX
  By MacGyver - August 13 - 2:00 am

  I was in the market for a SUV and had read positive reviews on the MDX from leading car magazines and it was name as a Best Buy in Consumer Reports Magazine as well. It drives like a car build has the room of an SUV and handles great in the snow! It also has comes very nicely equipped for a a base model so much so I didnt see the need to spend an extra $2500.00 on the touring package!
