Overview & Reviews

After a full redesign last year, the Acura MDX heads into 2008 with no significant changes.

• Exemplary handling, powerful yet relatively fuel-efficient V6 engine, high safety scores, stylish interior design.

• Fiddly center stack button layout, love-it-or-hate-it grille.

  Great Handling Plus Super Navigation System - 2008 Acura MDX
  By PBenjung - November 26 - 10:03 am

  Bought last week and am enjoying the ride. Excellent acceleration, transmission shifts very smoothly, handles great around corners. Interior fit and finish is good. Still figuring out nav system but its mostly intuitive and a great asset.

  Outstanding SUV ! - 2008 Acura MDX
  By Tchello - September 2 - 8:36 am

  After thorough research that included major brands (BMW, MB, Volvo & Audi) the MDX came on top. The standard model comes with leather, moonroof and 3rd row seat. Got the Sport package with technology and its a bargain compared with the other, more fancy, brands. At least $10K less for a very similar, and in many cases, superior product. If you dont need the status of a BMW or Mercedes, this is the way to go. I traded my Audi A4, and Im very happy I did so. Overall, very solid and handles great. Smooth.

  Great sport SUV - 2008 Acura MDX
  By Former Cayenne Owner - October 9 - 5:40 pm

  Traded a Cayenne and could not be happier. The 300 HP provides great power, especially when downshifted. Base model has all any true driver would need. Really, how often does anyone need to use a GPS or call a restaurant while on the road or, for that matter, not know what is behind their vehicle. This is a vehicle which can complete with the top SUVs on the market and retain its value. Third seat is not for adults. SH-AWD is truly for those who want to "push" the vehicle while maintaining control in all conditions. I have found the seating position for the driver to be very comfortable. Sound system with the subwoffer can blow your teenager out of the vehicle.

  Mildly Disappointed - 2008 Acura MDX
  By Randall Hazzard - August 11 - 10:43 pm

  Performance and fun to drive. Love to hear it rev. My gas mileage is poor at 16.2 MPG. That is a mix of 60% highway and 40% city. Reliability and quality is less then expected. Slow leak in tire that dealer wanted to charge me $380.00 dollars to replace because they cant find the link but acknowledge the leak is there. Needed to jump start 3 times. Twice because little dome light was left on by kids. Once because of a draw off battery that has been difficult to trace. Mirrors dont adjust with change of driver in preprogram settings. Dealer says this is normal but if you can change my XM stations with different drivers, you can certainly adjust mirrors.

  Best Luxury SUV in the class - 2008 Acura MDX
  By wtliao - October 26 - 6:36 am

  This is my first SUV after driving sedan for 15 years. MDX drives like a sports car! Love SHAWD handling and ride quality is comfy and quiet. The 5-speed auto transmission works flawlessly. I shouldve bought the sport package for sportier ride and sexy sport rims but we figure save additional 2K for my kids’ education funds. Navigation system is easy to use with voice recognition system. I think its the best luxury SUV in this class for a 45K value! Complaints: Bluetooth phonebook import only works for very limited cell phone models. Gas mileage isnt great, only 17 city/21 highway, but its a trade off for 300HP & SHAWD, I will never regret.

  This car is so smooth. I also have a pilot and this car rides and handles much better. Has a real luxury feel to it.

  Great Car! - 2008 Acura MDX
  By Mike - May 28 - 2:40 pm

  I just purchased a new 2008 Acura MDX. We have 2 kids and were looking for an SUV with a 3rd row of seats. Test drove the X5, Buick Enclave and Mazda, Lexus, Volvo and Chevy. This car was by far more superior for the room, price and comfort.

  2008 MDX-Tech - 2008 Acura MDX
  By V V - March 4 - 4:16 pm

  I just bought this about a month now. Driving is so fun, comfortable, easy to use the navigation. At night the interior looks just like a cockpit (I heard this word from my friends who saw my SUV). Most of the essential features are standard, so there are no additional expenses for a luxury SUV. The handling of this SUV is very nice, any sharp turn, neither passinger nor driver feels much body sway as like other car or SUVs. I rate this SUV 8-9/10 for most of the features.
