  • Wonderful car... but not perfect - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    I have only had this car for a couple weeks now, but I absolutely love it. It definitely has its shortcomings, but the car as a whole makes up for it. Drove it from Phoenix to LA and back and I was never more comfortable. Great blend of utility and luxury. I would definitely get the Touring package because the little luxuries are great.

  • Great SUV - 2005 Acura MDX

    This is a great SUV for the money. It handles well and its comfortable. With the spoiler on the rear door and some side steps, it also looks sportier than other SUVs. I was looking for a larger car, but found that the MDX is more comfortable than many expensive sedans, handles well and the electronics are great.

  • Great SUV - Excellent value - 2005 Acura MDX

    After 18 months, I cant find anything not to like about my MDX. This is my first Acura and second SUV. I am a finicky consumer and researched all luxury models prior to buying - it paid off! For the money, this is by far the best SUV in its class. Gas mileage was better than anticipated. And, it has the highest safety/crash test ratings. Quality, comfort, and value...I love it!

  • I Love It!! - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    I love my MDX as much today as the day I bought it. It drives like a dream and is very roomy. Just last weekend we took 6 adults over 3 hours drive away with luggage and everyone had plenty of room. Now if only they would come out with a hybrid with the new models...

  • Power and comfort - 2005 Acura MDX

    Best vehicle I have ever owned. Would definately get another in the future.

  • M D X - 2005 Acura MDX

    This is a great every day car, high, responsive and safe. 3rd seat is great if you need it, but you are taking away confort in the 2nd seats. Navigation system is awesome, worth the extra money and so is the quality of sound.

  • Great choice - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    This is a great choice. The engine is seemless, you do not feel it shifting like some other luxury SUVs I test drove. Living near the mountains the power and engine is great, such a smooth ride. The size is great since I did not want a huge SUV. Love that it is ULEV2, which most SUVs are not.

    Great car after 18 months no complaints at all and no issues at all. Fuel Economy is much better than expected. 23.4 mpg on our last trip to OHIO running 75 mph. Gets 18.6 around town. Goes great in the snow on trips to the northwoods. entertainment system and is great. Nav is a little out of date. My wife will never drive a different suv.

    Great handling on the highway, and the rural areas where I drive. Super Navigational system, it is easy to use. There is a lot of leg and shoulder room in this SUV. I have had Jeep Limiteds before, and this SUV is built solid.

  • I actually dont mind making my payments - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    Im not particularly a car person, but I have to say I really like this SUV. Its my first Acura and my 5th SUV. Its very quiet, spacious, comfortable, and the navigation is fantastic once you learn commands. (At first I didnt think the voice rec. worked well but it was mostly my lack of understanding it. Fine now.) Body style is least favorate but added wheel flares, side molding, and running boards that help make it less bulbous.
