Overview & Reviews

Other than some minor interior trim changes for the Touring package -- ebony-colored Zebra wood-patterned trim replaces last year's Burl wood, and satin chrome interior accents instead of bright chrome -- the Acura MDX is unchanged for 2006. New SAE testing procedures drop the MDX's horsepower rating from 265 to 253.

• Room for seven passengers or serious amounts of cargo, gutsy V6 engine, well-balanced suspension, top-rated crash test scores.

• Ho-hum interior design and materials, modest tow rating.

  Not True Luxury - 2006 Acura MDX
  By enlightenedacuraguy - July 19 - 1:46 pm

  This vehicle is overrated, not true luxury. No backlighting on the steering wheel buttons so you cant see what youre pushing in the dark, not even an option. A/C controls are in an uncomfortable place, and rear controls have to be reset every time you restart engine. Battery died 4 months after brand new. No back heater in passenger seat, not even an option. Power seats are far inferior to the seats in my 03 Tahoe. There is no 12v outlet for second row passengers, except the one in the bottom of the center console, very inconvenient. No power folding mirrors. It is very uncomfortable to drive long distances for a male, 510", arms fall asleep after about 1 hour, and not enough leg room.

  Les MDX - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Leslie Mays - January 13 - 6:27 am

  Driving experience with my 2006 MDX is hands down "all stares". I drive for a living, so at the time of searching for a new car I became very selective about the vehicle I wanted to purchase, I had a few in mind but, when I ran across the MDX on the highway I fell in love with the looks at first, then when I visited the dealer and saw what it had to offer, I was taken. All my friends love my MDX and for me the joy of knowing where I go the MDX will be there by my side.

  AZ Acura MDX Owners Comments - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Danno - December 12 - 6:11 pm

  Great handling pleasure to drive vehicle. OK mileage. Quiet, solid, spacious. Always wanted one, now I have one. Like the way the vehicle is appointed with leather seats, and wood trim. Fold down seats help and 3rd row conceals nicley. Safe, luxurious, sporty, good HP, performs well on and off road (within reason... not a rock crawler). Glad I bought it.

  Outstanding!! by FOB - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Outstanding!! by FOB - December 9 - 8:41 am

  When I decided to buy a mid-size SUV I settled on test driving the RX 350, X5 and MDX. I have owned the MDX for two months now and couldnt be happier with my choice --- performance, interior quality, and comfort are oustanding... all this for $7K less than the closest competitor.

  This car certainly has room to improve - 2006 Acura MDX
  By klin - November 17 - 4:09 pm

  The ease of driving and handling was what attracted to purchase this vehicle. On May of this year, I bought a new Toyota 4runner 2006 before I purchased the MDX. In my opinion, 4runner is a better built vehicle overall. The interior of the MDX is slightly cheaper, and I found the cover of the door knob actually moves a little bit instead of fix to the door, a small but annoying defect, and the interior looks cheaper comparing with Toyota. The back door of MDX can not close completely without slamming it. What a pain... If you just try to be a little bit gentle on the car, then the door wont close properly. In comparison, The 4runner has automatic door closer, and quality is awesome.

  Acura MDX: Delivers with Value - 2006 Acura MDX
  By R. Harris - October 23 - 4:50 pm

  Just bought a EOY 2006 and what a value. Loaded it came in under $38K and then added a GAMIN GPS 52 for $500.00 saving $7,000.00.

  Best choice for third row seat 4wd SUV - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Marc - October 18 - 12:00 am

  I have 3, soon to be 4 kids. But this is the secondary kid hauler to the minivan. The MDX is incredibly comfortable with just the right amount of refinement to be attractive but not overdone. All my kids are comfortable in the third row (tall 6 and 8 year olds) with moderate room behind 3rd row. Gas mileage has been 17 city and as good as 27 on the highway. Fold down seating is quick and easy. Stereo is good, not great. Runs fine on 87 or 93 octane.

  another great Acura vehicle - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Acurafan - October 16 - 7:13 am

  I really enjoy this Acura, the seating for 7 is great - can take my kids and their friends out in one vehicle. And can still park in my garage. Ive owned 4 previous Acuras, so Im loyal, but before buying this MDX I considered the competitors. The MDX was the better total package - great balance of sporty features with practicality, Also, its the perfect size allowing for a useful 3rd row (kids).

  Great Vehicle for Shopping & Road Trips - 2006 Acura MDX
  By L Tunner - October 14 - 8:16 pm

  This is the second MDX Ive owned, and I love MDXs. Perfect for our active lifestyle..my aunts and cousins call it our touring/shopping/eating machine. Navigation system is great for road trips and seeking out new sites. Comfortably accomodates 5 shopping queens. Large cargo area has carried everything from 5 large dogs..club chairs..bags of mulch..lots of shopping bags. Performance, reliability and safety features are excellent.
