I can say this car performed amazingly under the most important of all curcumstancies and I have orded a new 2005 to replace it!

  • I Love My MDX - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    I have been driving an SUV for 16 years and this is by far my favorite of the lot! I bought my 1st MDX 4 years ago when they first hit the market and I now have my 2nd. I love the look and the ride is comfortable and car like. It is totally reliable and the size is perfect for a sports Mom with 3 growing boys. I cant imagine a better SUV available in this price range! Drive one and you will be hooked

    Shop and compare you wont beat this SUV when it comes to style, quality, reliability, and value. Ive test driven nearly all the mid size luxury SUVs and you cant beat this car. The ride is solid on wet and dry pavement, on back roads or cruising at 80 mph down the freeway. Going skiing driving on ice and snow there is no slips going up or down. There is room for all the gear and four people in the car! Who needs a rack. Going golfing same thing.

    I just got the touring MDX with Navi and love it to death. I have always like this car since 01 when it came out. All the gadgets that it comes with in its class cant be beat. Heated seats, power everything, 3rd row seating, AWD, Blue LED interior lights, Onstar, XM, voice activated navi and control.. the list goes on....

  • Fun in my SUV - 2005 Acura MDX

    Love driving the SUV and the satellite radio is great!

  • Luxury SUV at a price - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    Having driven the MDX for several months, Ive found it to be a wonderful experience. Ive already taken it up to Lake Tahoe several times with no problems. It has plenty of power up the mountain with 4 power & equipment and ample braking power. My friends are impressed with its roominess. Being my first SUV, I looked at both the Lexus & MDX. I chose the MDX for its 3rd row seating. Theres just so much more room on an MDX and not everything is an option. One thing to keep in mind, Acura recommends using premium gas for the MDX.

  • Wished for More - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    Wished this car had been as reliable and fun to drive as other Honda products. In general, a great disappointment. Electrical problems and navigational breakdowns. AC would not shut off. In shop five times in first 7 months.

  • mdx is my 4th acura--great car - 2005 Acura MDX

    grandkids love the entertainment center. we love the navigation system. only complaint is back tail door-- not real easy to shut with one hand.. wish there was an automatic closer

  • Perfect - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    After a 2-month search and test drives of the FX-45, RS-330, Touareg, SRX, & XC-90, I short-listed the Lexus RS-330 and the MDX. I found the MDX to be the all around winner.
