  • Not disappointed - 2005 Acura MDX

    For 1 whole year, I researched and test drove SUVS from Lexus, Infiniti, Jeep, BMW, Volkswagon, and a few others as well as the MDX. I loved the MDX from the moment I drove it, and now that I own one, I love it even more. The MDX is fun to drive, loaded with many luxuries and comforts, has great power (Awesome pickup), great sound system, and in my opinion the best Navigation system of any car I drove. Add to that, this is dollar for dollar one of the best deals out there, and its also one of the most dependable Mid-SUVs out there, this is one really amazing vehicle.

    I love it! It could use better gas mileage. Very good on handling wet roads, turns. Very smooth and quiet ride. I did not think I would use Navigation system, but I was wrong. It is very helpful, plus I am still learning about the vehicle.

  • All-around best performer - 2005 Acura MDX

    After doing a thorough research, we settled on MDX and have not been disappointed. This car does not do any one thing better than the competitors Lexus has a slightly comfier interior VW may have better off-road capability. But the entire package is better than the competition. Room for seven Acura workmanship lots and lots of power and fair pricing. We love than Acura wont nickel and dime you for features such as leather seating and moonroof. Everything comes standard. The only negative - and it comes with the territory - is the gas mileage, though it is better than most SUVs.

    Great car especially for the price. Extremely smooth transmission and very powerful 6 cylinder engine. Very quiet cabin. Handles like a car!

    Everything is great but the GAS mileage. Only average 17mpg. Less than I expected.

    Extremely disappointed in the product. Expected more pickup and much better gasoline economy due to 6 cylinders.

  • MDX is Great! - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    Looked at Lexus RX330 and Toyota 4- Runner but Acura won out with best design and ease of use. Mileage has been as expected about 19 mixed use so far, but better than the old 4-Runner with 150HP. Power is excellent. We added rear body-colored wing which makes it look even better. Hard to believe the MDX is still somewhat hard to come by after 5 years on the market. I still own a 91 Legend Coupe and cannot bear the thought of parting with it. Had no problem trading off the 4-Runner, though.

    This is my 4th owned Acura and this MDX doesnt disappoint. It has a car-like ride which we like and the engineering and technology is well worth the price which we found reasonable for a Luxury vehicle. Acura service is outstanding and we are looking forward to enjoying our retirement vehicle. The MDX is not just a vehicle but a solution to our transportation problems.
