This Year's Model Updates:

A number of interior, exterior and mechanical updates were made for 2004. The V6 engine added slightly more power and is now rated at 265 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque. Outside, you'll find a restyled front fascia, new chrome trim, dual exhaust tips, a new wheel design for Touring models, updated headlights and taillights and a rear wing spoiler. The interior now features trendy brushed metal-look trim for the center stack, leather armrests, auto-on/off headlights, new ambient foot lighting and enhanced functionality of the second-row seat for third-row access. Touring models get a new version of the Bose premium audio system and power lumbar support for the driver seat. Finally, safety has been improved on all MDXs with the addition of side curtain airbags and a tire-pressure monitoring system.

Pros:
  • Room for seven passengers or serious amounts of cargo, gutsy V6 engine, well-balanced suspension, top-rated crash test scores, low price.
Cons:
  • Limited off-road capability, below-average tow rating, ho-hum interior design and materials.

  • MDX Delivers - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    The 2004 Acura MDX offers more style, safety and performance standards than the competition (BMW and Lexus). We absolutely enjoy this SUV whether taking it off road or on weekend trips to Home Depot. There simply isnt a better SUV on the market under $45k.

  • #1 SUV on the road! - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    The MDX is the best SUV out on the market. I am a proud mom who went from a Honda (a great car) to the Acura MDX. Its not only reliable, nice looking but the best SUV on the road not only for moms but for anyone interested in an SUV. I have test driven other SUVs and the MDX is the perfect size. Its not too big and not too small. Plus it is considered one of the safest SUVs out there. It cant get any better than that.

    My biggest problem with the car is that I have to change the oil every 5,000 miles. My dealer could wear a Maytag uniform for all the business I give him.

    I just purchased this car 1 week ago and so far I am totally thrilled with it. It drives like a dream, smoothe and effortless. The acceleration is quick and the breaks reactive. I especially love the sound system. The entertainment package comes with Bose speakers and the sound is incredible. Also, the kids are loving the DVD system Its a classy, beautiful, luxury SUV and I am a happy(beaming) new owner~

  • Happy owner - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    Have owned various Acuras since the 1986 Legend and they all have been good for 150,000 miles plus. Reliability is a big factor. The current MDX replaces a Ford Explorer, 1999 and the change is monumental. There are a few areas where the interior could be a little more user friendly, but overall, it is a joy to drive.

  • Great SUV...not a performance car - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    I am happy I bought this vehicle. I traded a 2002 Mercedes 320C in on it. Thus, I realize the ride will not be a performance car ride...and I also understand this vehicle has a lot to offer for the $. The ride is a little bumpy, but the pick up, goodies added and over-all comfort more than make up for that. I compared the Lexus RX330 to this and thought both were great. However, this ride was more for the $.

  • What a Luxury SUV... - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    I love the 2004 exterior and interior enhanced design and features - The MDX is an excellent luxury choice of mid sized SUVs - It is a solid vehicle. The exterior looks very attractive and the interior is roomy and impressive. Friends, neighbors and relatives are so impressed with the whole thing. A great SUV.

  • Smooth drivng SUV - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    The Acura MDX is a fun to drive, it rides so smooth its like driving a smooth riding car. You dont feel like your driving a SUV becauses it low to the ground. The interior design is great, it even has a camera on the tail so when you are in reverse the screen were the navigator system is will show you what is behind. It has a voice activiated system for the navigator so you dont have to push any bottoms when you need driving directions. It has room for 7. Its worth the price.
