  Thumbs up for my MDX! - 2005 Acura MDX
  By DebO - September 22 - 1:53 pm

  I was deciding between the MDX and the Lexus RX 330. All the reviews, including Edmunds, seem to view the MDX as more utilitarian and less "desirable" than the RX. Well, thankfully I didnt listen--I bought the MDX and I absolutely love it. Im so glad I decided to test drive the MDX. Fuel economy is a little less than I expected in the summer, but a small price to pay for such an awesome SUV.

  Best SUV Deal - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Peter C - August 12 - 8:23 pm

  I went from an Accord to the MDX wanting a vehicle for 4 wheel reliability & being quite pleased with Hondas workmanship. I also wanted a good deal which after studying all the other SUVs in the MDX price range, I feel I got it. It is a good looking vehicle, with good solid engine performance I am real pleased with my MDX.

  Great SUV - 2005 Acura MDX
  By ChaosMiners - August 7 - 7:06 am

  I drove this car for a week at Lake Tahoe while we were getting 9 feet of snow. Not a hint of a handling problem even when the roads were heavily iced. One great feature is that the drivers seat will lower to a point where you can get in and out of the car on ice without transferring all your weight when standing on ice.

  MDX - fun and efficient - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Bill1701d - May 4 - 7:36 am

  This is my first SUV and it is a fun car to drive. It also has great safety features and ample room although the third row has very tight leg room. Its cargo space is excellent with the third row seating down and adequate when up. The drive is firm but smooth and holds the road well. I just bought the car so these are initial reactions, but I have a feeling this will be a vehicle that will hold up through the years nicely.

  Most adventurous vehicle - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Albert Chamakala - April 8 - 10:43 pm

  This is the most funnest car to drive on and off road. It has good mileage but at the same time a real nice pick up time from 0-60. Its great for all my needs. The only thing that to my disliking is the shape of the front of the mdx. It has an angular front and Id like it to be more flat.

  Pain in the rear - 2005 Acura MDX
  By bothell bill - February 28 - 5:40 pm

  Have owned my 2004 for 7 months and finally took it on a long cruise in Feb. A 4 hour ride. After 2 1/2 hours my butt started going numb and then legs. I think due to design of seat bottom. It tapers radically towards where the seat back joins and the angled sides of the seat bottom press into the nevers of my butt. Im 510" and 185 lbs with 35" waist. I did the same cruise the first of March with the same result. I took a friend with me the second trip and he experienced the same discomfort. If you plan on long cruises, that a second look. What about a four hour test drive??

  By jhmdds - January 17 - 4:10 pm

  This is my second MDX and third Acura. When its time for service, my salesman picks up my MDX at work and leaves me his car for the day. Ive never had a minutes problem. These are great vehicles.

  First Acura purchase - 2005 Acura MDX
  By dan - January 15 - 1:36 pm

  Traded a 2003 LS 430 for this vehicle in order to secure the third row of seating. Ride not up to Lexus standards; however, all other features measure up and the value in relation to the SUVs from Lexus provided the decision to go with this vehicle.

  Awesome SUV - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Carole Matter - December 6 - 10:33 am

  This is the best vehicle Ive ever owned! There is not a single thing I wish it had that it doesnt have. Its the perfect vehicle--comfortable for lots of passengers when the extended family visits, or plenty of space to do major hauls of office supplies, etc. It does everything you could want with perfection. It handles like a dream--powerful, responsive, hugs the road, great visibility all the way around, and luxurious. Comfortable for long trips, and no more need to figure out your route to a place youve never been before--the navigation system will find your way and tell you every turn of he way. Its absolutely awesome ine very way! I LOVE my MDX!
