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.

Not sure what others are complaining about - 2015 Acura MDX
By Alesh - March 3 - 6:50 pmWell i had BMW and Audi and trust me except for acceleration, horsepower...nothing else beats Acura or lexus. You always look for efficiency, value for money, quite drive etc... So if other are complaining please drive german cars for 2 years then you will understand what you miss.. My only complain is acceleration but agreed that mileage is top class in this luxury segment...

Excellent - 2001 Acura MDX
By Lino - February 16 - 2:00 amI purchased this vehicle from Carmax and it has been a workhorse. I also purchased the extended warranty and have had to use it once (engine mount & AC system). I may never purchase another brand again!

Ready anytime! - 2002 Acura MDX
By dboe - February 9 - 2:00 amThis is a great utility vehicle, while having nice style, and good comfort. Acceleration is brisk, and handling is above average for any vehicle in its class. It is very stable on the road, at speed and/or under windy conditions. Space utilization is great. While it easy to load it up, the towing capacity is on the small side. Mileage is not bad for the weight of vehicle. Brakes are just adequate. They should be better, this is not an easy vehicle to snub down from speed quickly. Interior materials are on the cheap side. But so far everything seems to be holding up just fine.

Boy am I sorry I bought this lemon! - 2003 Acura MDX
By MelMel - February 6 - 2:00 amTheres alot to love about this car- wonderful ride, its really comfortable, nimble, handles like a sports car & has TONS of space. I could quibble about little things like the faux wood trim or the miniscule cup holder, or that the heated seats can suddenly get REALLY hot but the real problem w/this car is that I had tons of problems in the first few months. The window up/down thingy has been replaced THREE times & still doesnt work. Theres a rattling problem that took the service dept a couple of trips to fix & another rattling thing they CANT fix. All this on a relatively new car-wish Id bought a Lexus or Infiniti!

Dissapointed in Acura - 2001 Acura MDX
By Randall69 - February 4 - 2:00 amI must have a lemon. The transmission had to be completely replaced after six months. The brakes are extremely noisy and make a consistant clunking sound every time you shift. Acura claims this isnt a safety issue and I agree. It is,however, annoying and loud and makes the vehicle sound cheap, which at $40,000 dollars,itis not. These experiences have provided a very disappointing experience, especially since this is an Acura. I got more reliability from an Explorer.

A great SUV - 2001 Acura MDX
By BCroamer - February 4 - 2:00 amWeve owned several different makes of high-end SUVs and the MDX is the best. When all aspects of ownership are considered price, size, performance, comfort, resale, etc, the only thing that comes close is the Lexus LX470 and its cost is considerable higher. The NAV system is the best, we travel extensively and wouldnt be without it. Weve had it off-road and while not a true "rock-hopper" it does very well. In the snow & ice it really shines. Were very pleased with our purchase.

Roof Rack Stink - 2003 Acura MDX
By FG - January 31 - 10:00 amEven though I love my MDX the only thing bad is the Roof Racks. First of all they are too close to each other to put any soft storage carriers. If you want to get a hard cargo top its not compatible to 99% of non-dealer companies. The Acuras cargo carries is priced twice as much and half the space of THULEs brand. So if your going to buy the MDX, save some money and dont include them in the package.

Gas Mileage Rip off - 2003 Acura MDX
By WALF3 - January 31 - 10:00 amIve had my MDX for 5 months and am truely dismayed at the gas mileage. The sticker reads 17 to 22, but I get 13-14 mpg driving 70/30 city/hwy. And when I bring it to the dealer, they have some excuse like its winter gas or we cant know your driving habits. Well Ive been driving for 30 years and never had such rotten gas mileage. And it takes premium gas to make it worse. Dont believe that sticker.. youre in for a shock.
