  Looked at them all Acura best in class!! - 2005 Acura MDX
  By cdepaola - February 12 - 12:13 am

  We looked at and test drove all of the other midsized SUVs in the Acura MDXs class. We found the best deal and the best car to be the Acura. Fit was great, and we felt it looked to be the most upscale interior and exterior.

  MDX Review - 2005 Acura MDX
  By George - February 8 - 10:26 am

  Car is quieter and rides better than I thought it would. New blue metallic color looks really great. This is truly a very high quality car. Also has storage compartment under floor in cargo area and many handy storage bins throughout passenger area.

  Low quality control - 2005 Acura MDX
  By moxnix1 - February 7 - 9:26 pm

  Fun to drive, very responsive handling. Fuel economy is disappointing. Nav system and touch screen controls locked up when car was only a few weeks old. Temp control on heater has never worked properly and seatbelt sensor for passenger seat doesnt work. Other than that I love the car.

  I love my MDX! - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Nv - February 6 - 1:27 am

  I enjoy the smooth ride and the technology advanced features. I got all Navi and RES on my MDX because I didnt want buyers remorse. And, I must say its worth it. Ive had mine since Aug 05 and love it. Navi has been reliable when I input addresses, but not as reliable with directory assistance.

  This SUV rocks!!! - 2005 Acura MDX
  By DK - February 5 - 1:35 am

  I decided go for this MDX because it has 7 seats, better values and excellent ride quality. It is wider than RX330 and comes with all the standrad features. However, I got around 15-19 mile per gallon with premium gas, it is not cheap!!!

  Safety - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Bob - February 4 - 10:47 am

  We have owned this truck for about 6 months and have been about 95% happy with our purchase. Owned several S U vehicles and this one outdrives them all by a long shot. Often have 5 people in the vehicle and its very comfortable.

  Expected a great car, but.... - 2005 Acura MDX
  By professor - January 27 - 6:57 pm

  I purchased this vehicle one year ago and have had some problems with the exhaust system and acceleration. My MDX makes an annoying noise at the 2 rpm mark, and does not have very good acceleration at times I have had it checked (with little success) at my Acura dealer. There are also some interior noises in the back doors, which is bothersome to listen to at times. I really expected a lot more from this vehicle, especially for the price that I paid. The gas mileage is not that great as well....getting around 14-15 mpg in the city and 17-18 mpg on the highway, and I drive fairly conservative.

  Great SUV - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Chaos - January 24 - 8:10 am

  Just got this car and drove it up to Tahoe in time for 9 feet of snow. Handling was flawless. Didnt think I would like the XM radio and backup camera (both included) but have decided that they are good to have as well. I test drove virtually all other SUVs in this price range +/- $20k. Handling of the MDX was among the best, acceleration was adequate even at 65mph, height above the road was good.

  Downsized for mileage but not so good... - 2005 Acura MDX
  By Paul Marsteller - January 24 - 6:01 am

  Maybe I am not a mid-size SUV kind of person, having driven something much bigger for years. To save on guess I talked myself into this car, liking it better than the competition. After 4 months I continue to be underwhelmed and am thinking of trading for a Seqioa. I dont recommend this to anyone used to a bigger SUV who is just downsizing for the better mileage. Im getting about 17-19 mpg(70/30 hwy/city). Pluses: Good navigation system. Cons: Where to begin? Clunky and noisy over little bumps lackluster hwy acceleration inside windshield steams up ALL the time (never had this problem before and I live in San Diego!) Sun seems to shine in too much stiff to shift.. tra
