  • Very disappointed - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    Extremely disappointed in the product. Expected more pickup and much better gasoline economy due to 6 cylinders.

  • 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.

  • Rides like a go-cart - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    When I first purchased by Acura, I loved it. But after the first year and several miles later the suspension is terrible. It bounces like a go-cart and the brakes are pretty scary too. I believe that it is the front wheel drive that causes the problem with this SUV. The dealer tells me that I have to come in and spend $600 to reset the suspension to the original factory specs, this must be a recurring problem with this vehicle. The air conditioner also makes a loud rattling sound.
