  Acura MDX - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Bart - September 14 - 3:13 am

  Very fun to drive in comparison to my prior Land Cruiser. Handles the road, curves and all, very nimbly. Touch screen controls somewhat cumbersome to use while driving.

  Fun to drive long distances - 2005 Acura MDX
  By mna - September 12 - 11:30 pm

  I drove in the middle of winter thru snow and mud long distances. It was a very comfortable ride and drive. It is a smooth running suv and drives like a car.

  You cant go wrong. - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Hunter - September 7 - 6:51 pm

  Its all included. When comparing to the others, consider total cost. Moonroof, heated, 8 way pwr seats, inter. wipers, XM radio, OnStar, leather, memory seats/mirrors...its all included in the Touring pkg. Nav is great AND Nav gives you back-up camera. Engine is quiet, smooth, tranny is seamless, and the confidence in high- speed interstate ramp turns and winding roads is fantastic - just a terrific stance. Good sight lines. Its not a drop-dead head- turner, but thats the Acura conservative style. The up-side is that everything is solid and proven before it goes into the car. The "A" badge does draw some ohhhhhhhhhs. (Try the gold badges).

  Great Choice! - 2005 Acura MDX
  By GMSUSIE - September 7 - 7:30 am

  I have had this car for two months -- I have enjoyed every driving experience with it. It is comfortable -- it feels like a true "luxury" car. The navigation system and satellite radio are pluses. The gas mileage isnt great, but I do drive it "around town" a lot of the time which doesnt help much. We tried out "all" of the suvs and are so pleased that this is the one we chose.

  Great Decision - 2005 Acura MDX
  By left1 - September 3 - 12:01 pm

  Before deciding on the MDX we checked out a lot of SUVs. What sold us was the Honda/Acura quality and dependablity as well as the feel of this SUV. We have had 9 Honda/Acura products and this one is great! Handles better than a lot of cars and rides better than most as well. We took it on a 12 hour trip and were very pleased. We have not had any problems with the MDX. The longer we have this SUV the more we like it!

  Happy with MDX , But Not Mileage - 2005 Acura MDX
  By barry - September 2 - 11:06 am

  Overall I am quite happy with my MDX. More fun to drive than my other car, Audi A8. Incredibly roomy inside, especially the cargo area for an SUV that is not that big on the outide. Stereo sounds great. Have not had any big problem with the brakes, except a little slow/sloppy when fully loaded with 5 people and a load of cargo. Big disappointment is gas mileage. One of the reasons I bought the MDX is because I wanted better gas mileage than my previous guzzling LX470 - but mileage is way below advertised, and not much better than the much bigger and heavier V8 powered LX470. Nav system also disappointing. Interior quality also a bit chintzy for an expensive car.

  Good Investment - 2005 Acura MDX
  By flajcat - August 30 - 4:25 pm

  My wife has a 2002 MDX and because of the performance, quality, craftsmanship, I decided to buy a 2005 MDX. Way above average resale value. No problems in 3 years, excellent quality. The back up camera adds to safety. There are 8 airbags, high quality interior. Very good engine performance. Luxurious inside. Navigation system is a 10. Mediocre gas mileage. I am getting about 18 combined highway and city.

  for moms who refuse to do the minivan - 2005 Acura MDX
  By carol - August 27 - 10:07 am

  This car is feels custom made for our family of 5 plus 2 large dogs. The seating options work out perfectly for us. I love having 2 "extra" kid seats in row 3 for the kids friends or for when my own lovely children need to be separated. And the front seat airbag sensor means I feel more confident when my older children sit up front. In truth, we should have a minivan -- that is the ultimate in convenience for a motley crew like us. BUT my final rationalization for the MDX was that when it was time for my oldest to start driving that this would become her car. Im sure shell be much happier inheriting the MDX than a minivan!!!

  I like it. - 2005 Acura MDX
  By baradlee - August 20 - 2:44 pm

  Nothing really to complain about except..GAS MILEAGE. In Southern California, in stop and go driving, 13.8 mpg. On the highway to Wyoming I did get 24 mpg. The V-6 has to move a lot of mass and I guess the gas mileage suffers.

  Nice Truck - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Acura Driver - August 18 - 11:10 pm

  I test drove many many SUVs and none could compare to the price and features of the MDX. Thats the reason I also drive a 2004 TL. Unfortunately, the MDX is not nearly as nice as the TL. The nav screen is smaller, no dual climate control, the buttons on the wheel don’t light up, no power up and down feature for driver and passenger windows, and the stereo is anemic in comparison. This is just nit picking, but the MDX should have the same or better features especially since it is $10K more than the TL. Despite these very minor issues this is a great SUV. Space and workmanship are top notch.
