1st time MDX buyer - 2005 Acura MDX
By luckyd - June 8 - 10:33 amI compared the 05 MDX with the RX330. I ultimately purchased the MDX based on the value for the price. I love the voice command system, still trying to learn the commands. The ride is smooth for an SUV, nice acceleration, quite interior, & clean console setup. I like the clean integration of the front radio with the dvd system. The MDX was much larger than the RX330.

05 MDX - 2005 Acura MDX
By lbelle - December 27 - 1:56 pmA very solid car. Acura has gone to great lengths to correct some of the problems of the more recent models such as the gas tank slosh and the brake clunking. The new acoustic lining has done wonders to mitigate noise. This is one silent and solid vehicle. Leather appears improved over prior models as well.

Great value - 2005 Acura MDX
By Aaron - December 27 - 12:20 pmHands down the best automobile Ive owned. Did lots of research on SUVs before deciding on the MDX, and so far I havent been sorry with my decision. great zip, room for 7, and the Navigation system that never ceases to amaze. Awesome sound system; rear DVD a must have for those with kids. Incredible number of features for the money. Very refined car, with the quality of Honda to back it up. Every control right where its supposed to be - when you get into the drivers seat of this vehicle, youll feel right at home!

Most Outstanding Vehicle!! - 2005 Acura MDX
By Carole Matter - December 19 - 7:30 pmI have owned a lot of nice vehicles, but the Acura MDX is my favorite vehicle Ive ever had! It does everything well. I have the navigation system on mine, which I personally would never want to be without again. Acura has the best one out there, in my opinion. I test drove a lot of cars and SUVs before I bought this one, and nothing compared. I have had 7 people in my car for a sightseeing trip, and it was wonderful. I also have had the challenge and fun of driving my MDX through blizzard conditions and on snow-packed, icy steep hills in Pittsburgh, PA, and I went down a very very steep hill in AWD and never even slid. The vehicle in front of me had gone down the hill sideways!

What a car!! - 2005 Acura MDX
By Brandi - November 18 - 3:06 amAfter test-driving 15+ different SUVs, the Acura won out. We seriously looked at the Lexus but with only 5 seats, it wasnt large enough for the option of my childrens friends accompanying us anywhere. The navigation system is awesome, and a lot of fun to use. The reverse camera is very useful, although you can be fooled with the scale of it (everything looks far away). You can get spoiled with the automatic wipers, speeding up/slowing down as needed. Very useful for city driving. The Bose sound system is awesome. The entertainment system displays the XM songs and artists on the screen, which the children have been having a lot of fun with. I cant gush enough - I love this car!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good SUV made better - 2005 Acura MDX
By Nicolo - November 6 - 5:06 amTraded 03 for 05 touring with Nav. The new car is better in every way, quieter, quicker and with better body integrity. List of additional features compared to the 03 is very long: side curtain air bags, power lumbar, built in XM, better nav, voice commands for nearly everything, better dashboard display, better audio, six disc dash CD, bluetooth, Onstar, bigger gas tank. The Japanese, unlike American manufacturers, listen to consumers and make continuing updates.

MDX - 2005 Acura MDX
By Imran - October 11 - 6:46 pmThe MDX is a phenomenal car. If you compare the MDX versus the X5, which I was doing, there is NO comparison. It gives you comfort, power and the all the gadgets guys love. I got my MDX, basically fully loaded, for $42K, that is pretty good for the class that this vehicle is in.

Our top choice Luxury SUV - 2005 Acura MDX
By kevinmak - September 14 - 4:13 amAfter owning 2 Nissan Pathfinders, a Ford Explorer, and a Mitsubishi Montero, it was time to step up to a Luxury SUV. I had never considered the Acura a serious contender, leaning more towards the Volvo or Lexus... but after driving them all, theres no doubt that this is the best choice for the money. Hands down more bang for your buck than the Lexus (although it was a strong contender) and certainly capable of keeping us as happy as the Volvo while saving $7500 comparably equipped... this is a great vehicle. I agree with the editors review, a little "bland", but when you want a luxury SUX and youre in the $40k budget - Id highly recommend the MDX! What a dream to drive!

Great Car - 2005 Acura MDX
By Vigi - September 5 - 2:50 am05 MDX replaced my 92 4Runner, I get perfect parking 100% of the time, using the rear camera, excellent design and integration of front stereo with rear entertainment system. Very comfortable, kids love it to. Im waiting for the hybride version of this car, it gobles gas alot, but it worth the comfort.
