  Very Satisfied - 2005 Acura MDX
  By KeithK - August 18 - 10:26 am

  My MDX has been fantastic so far - a great family car. Ive averaged 20 mpg (on mostly highway driving), which is a bit higher than I expected. Acceleration is quite good, and the car is really comfortable. Good cupholders, radio reception (things that are more important than you think).

  Trade up to 2005 MDX - 2005 Acura MDX
  By John - August 17 - 8:31 pm

  4,000 miles of experience and still enjoy driving my MDX. Features and comfort are better than expected, gas mileage a little worse (18 MPG). The on board computer shows about 22 MPG best case on the freeway. The RES causes some rear visibility issues, but workable. The ride is much better than my prior SUV (V8 Explorer) and power about the same. As claimed, the MDX drives a lot smaller than it is, and feels very stable at all speeds. The MDX is a perfectly balanced SUV that does just about everything well, albeit not best in class.

  Acura MDX - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Acura MDX - August 17 - 1:34 pm

  I have had my MDX for 2 months. So far I love driving the car. Its comfortable and reliable. I just wish the gas milage was better. One thing that came standard with all my previous vehicles is automatic door locks when the car is being driven, which is not available on the MDX. I also would like to see keyless entry and a more sensitive automatic headlight mechanism.

  An "Accurate" Description - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Jim Lipsky - August 17 - 12:23 pm

  Im very pleased with my Acura MDX. I traded up from a V6 Accord Navi and havent looked back or regretted a thing, short of filling the gas tank daily (Im a Realtor, and put lots of miles on the car). My invalid father gets in and out easily and clients like the roominess and Navi system. Nice job Honda!

  Nothing Else will Do - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Jackie Morehead - August 16 - 9:11 am

  My new MDX is the best, it drives so well, turns so well, rides like a dream. I let a friend drive it and they were so impressed. I love my On Star and Navigation they are so good and the blue tooth phone as well as the other phone. I cannot say enough about how wonderful my new Acura MDX is.

  A great minivan alternative - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Hangdog - August 15 - 1:14 pm

  I love the seating for 7. Driving the MDX feels like driving a car, no heavy truck feel. I think Ill stay with this one for a while!

  You Gotta Get One - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Wendy - August 10 - 8:20 am

  You must buy the Acura MDX. I really enjoy mine. I researched it for about two months before I purchased it. This was the best SUV purchased Ive ever made. I have all the toys, which is standard. You will not go wrong with this purchase. I also have the Bose system and it sound GREAT! Especially with my iPod. Smooth and quiet ride.

  Wonderful SUV. - 2005 Acura MDX
  By June - August 8 - 4:27 pm

  This is the best car we have ever owned (touring & Navi.)! MDX improved a lot from 2001 to 2005 model and I am glad that we waited this long. Although redesign is expected in late 2006, current model has been polished so much. MDX is the best combination of utility, reliability, and comfort compare to other upscale SUVs, I believe. We will be keeping our MDX for a long time.

  Acura Tops (AGAIN!) - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Goulet - August 3 - 7:47 pm

  I traded out of a 97 CL to the 04 MDX and couldnt be happier. Although it was a sad day, it was a happy day also. Recently drove to NC from MA for the US Open and it was a most pleasant drive. Navigation system helped us avoid all the DC traffic on our non-stop trip home. The auxillary hook ups in the rear allow for a iPod to be installed and played continuously for hours (miles). Love my MDX, just wish that there was a way to get a upgrade to get the bluetooth tecnology installed in the 04. Currently dont know of this being available, but other than that, its a GREAT CAR. Im an Acura man for LIFE!

  ACURA MDX TOURING w/NAVI - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Wade - August 3 - 12:12 pm

  This is a nice looking vehicle, the navigation system is by far the best in the industry. It is a better value for the money than other luxury SUVs. The interior styling is kinda cheap looking with the fake wood grain. If you need headroom this is not the vehicle for you. Can not believe I had to order and pay for body side mouldings extra. If you tow anything over 4,500 pounds you will not be able to do it with the MDX. Would love to see Acura offer chrome wheels, would look so much better than the standard alloy, looks weird since the door handles are chrome.
