Overview & Reviews
The Acura MDX is a midsize luxury SUV with a carlike unibody platform and three rows of seats. The original MDX bowed in 2001, at a time when most competitors still featured body-on-frame construction and the term "crossover" was but a glimmer in some marketer's eye. Since then, Acura has maintained the MDX's family-friendly packaging, including standard seven-passenger seating, while spicing up the recipe with various styling, performance and handling enhancements. In typical Acura fashion, every MDX comes well equipped, with options generally limited to a few choice features bundled into packages.
New or used, the Acura MDX stands out for its comfort, versatility and refinement. It's one of our top recommendations for a family-oriented luxury crossover SUV. In reviews, we've found the MDX to be a polished performer, as it remains one of the more engaging luxury crossovers to drive and also provides a commendably supple ride. Weak points include cramped third-row accommodations for adults and less sumptuous interior appointments than in some rivals, though the MDX's strong resale value offers ample compensation.

Acura Tops (AGAIN!) - 2005 Acura MDX
By Goulet - August 3 - 7:47 pmI traded out of a 97 CL to the 04 MDX and couldnt be happier. Although it was a sad day, it was a happy day also. Recently drove to NC from MA for the US Open and it was a most pleasant drive. Navigation system helped us avoid all the DC traffic on our non-stop trip home. The auxillary hook ups in the rear allow for a iPod to be installed and played continuously for hours (miles). Love my MDX, just wish that there was a way to get a upgrade to get the bluetooth tecnology installed in the 04. Currently dont know of this being available, but other than that, its a GREAT CAR. Im an Acura man for LIFE!

ACURA MDX TOURING w/NAVI - 2005 Acura MDX
By Wade - August 3 - 12:12 pmThis is a nice looking vehicle, the navigation system is by far the best in the industry. It is a better value for the money than other luxury SUVs. The interior styling is kinda cheap looking with the fake wood grain. If you need headroom this is not the vehicle for you. Can not believe I had to order and pay for body side mouldings extra. If you tow anything over 4,500 pounds you will not be able to do it with the MDX. Would love to see Acura offer chrome wheels, would look so much better than the standard alloy, looks weird since the door handles are chrome.

Built Just For Me - 2005 Acura MDX
By EWD - August 2 - 9:23 pmI am a tall driver (64")and always must "try on" an automobile for fit in head,leg and foot room, steering wheel positioning and instrument and control visibility and convenience. The MDX fits me almost perfectly. I could use a little more room for my left foot, but head and leg room are great. instruments and controls are conveniently located and visibility is excellent. For me it has smooth acceleration, a firm but not harsh ride and a confidence building feel of the road. Cargo space is excellent and thirdf row seating comfortable for the occasional need to transport my four grand kids and two adults. Pleasing exterior styling that I think beats anything else on the road.

Smooth and Quiet - 2005 Acura MDX
By Alex - August 1 - 3:04 pmI bought my wife a 2005 MDX/ Fully loaded for xmas 2004. We love it. Its a little pricey fully loaded for the average family, but we believe its well worth the extra money. Its very quiet and has more power than anything weve driven. In fact, we have driven interstate 80 through snow, steep grades, thunderstorms, hot summer traffic, ect.. and have been VERY pleased. We test drove the Lexus GX470 and although you cant compair to the comfort and finish of a Lexus, the MDX drives with more confidence: better exceleration, better brakes, better seating layout, and just a better feel in day to day driving conditions.

Interior design - 2016 Acura MDX
By Jeffrey Jauer - July 31 - 4:18 pmMy wife did not like the tricolor interior - the dash drab gray, the seats are whatever the trim color is supposed to be and then there are simulated wood appointments in the middle. I could have lived with it but it sure was not attractive. Were going to wait to see what 2017 or 2018 brings for Acura and Lexus.

wow, what a great SUV! - 2001 Acura MDX
By Ric - July 30 - 11:39 amIve owned an SUV since way before they weere called SUVs and this Acura MDX is a thing of beauty, style and performance. The Jeep Cherokee leaked oiil after 3 years and quit running whenever it felt like it, the S-10 Blazer was ok, but was under powered and nearly roled me over when I got T- boned from someone doing about 15 MPH. The Rodeo was about to trash its transmission after only 55,000 miles of pampered use, blah, blah. This MDX is peppy, stylish and rides like a dream.

Theres none greater.. - 2005 Acura MDX
By John - July 30 - 10:50 amThis is my first suv, and third honda made auto (still have Honda my Accord ex 03). And I couldnt think of owning two cars without at leaset one of them being a Honda made vehicle. My MDX is fully loaded and rides like a dream I tell you. I from Queens NY, so who cares about going off road...? And In the city we dont use our suvs for tow. So with that said, my MDX has never let me down, in any shape form or fashion. It is more comfortable than many more expensive sport utes in its class. And need I mention all of the standard equipment that comes with it...? I know that when Im ready to trade-in this badboy, Im getting another-maybe the new RDX.. Hmmm.. Well see.

not reliable - 2003 Acura MDX
By Victor - July 30 - 2:56 amIve owned this car for less then two years and have a bunch of headaches. The fifth spark broke when i drove on a highway, 200 ml away from home. These days I am having a problem with starting the car - unbelievable. Something wrong with electronics and the dealer is not able to figure out. After having this problem happening to me on a parking lot for several times, I switched to my old Pathfinder truck - 105K miles, but never failed me.

Great SUV! - 2005 Acura MDX
By Lynn - July 25 - 3:43 pmGreat SUV! Nice size makes handling easy. Smooth driving. Loaded with fun gadgets and entertainment. A lot of interior bang for the buck! Kid friendly. Easy to maneuver 3rd bench when needed. Nice storage space. This is our fourth SUV in 10 years and is definitely my favorite. The safety scores are good, too. Good range of vision through windows.
