  look out for the brakes - 2004 Acura MDX
  By nema - September 11 - 2:00 am

  The brakes in this car have been a constant problem, thay all make grinding noise after a rain they build up rust if the car is not used in 12 hours (they say this is normal)I have a friend in PA with the same car and the same problem. Brakes have been worked on 3 times, after 2 years the car shows its age in other areas as well. This is my 2nd Acura and will be the last.

  My MDX rocks - 2004 Acura MDX
  By Quinnmedicine - September 8 - 2:00 am

  I just bought my second Acura vehicle (MDX) and still enjoy every minute i am on the road. The SUV handles very well and the road noise appears insignificant. The Bose speakers are fun to listen to. No problem thus far...

  IMPARTIAL - 2004 Acura MDX
  By RPGLIDER - September 4 - 2:00 am

  EXCELLENT AND USER FRIENDLY NAVIGATIONAL SYTEM I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS RATED BELLOW AVERAGE OFF-ROAD WHEN I HAVE PUT THIS SUV THROUGH THE RINGER ON MOUNTAIN TERRANE UP AND DOWN WITH SNOW ICE AND MUD WITHOUT EVER A PROBLEM! I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER IT BOTHERS ME TO SEE OTHER LESS CAPABLE SUVS MAKE THE 13 BEST LIST HAVING RENTED AND DRIVEN THEM UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS AND KNOWING THAT THEY DONT HOLD A CANCLE TO THIS VEHICLE! WHY IS IT THAT THIS BRAND DOESNT GET ANY RESPECT EXCEPT FROM THE ACTUAL OWNERS?

  Love this car! - 2004 Acura MDX
  By mjcw - September 3 - 2:00 am

  After a year of researching and debating, my husband and I just bought this car, and could not be happier! The MDX is not only incredibly nice looking inside and out, but also drives like silk. There is an underlying reliability factor that comes from its Honda roots - and I feel both safe and very comfortable inside. We looked at the Pilot, Highlander, and Audi wagons and came full circle back to the MDX. End of the year sales discounts were worth the wait! Buy one - you wont be disappointed.

  beautiful car - 2004 Acura MDX
  By planet plumbing - September 3 - 2:00 am

  beautiful car, but thought it would be better on gas mileage, sticker stated 17/ 23 and that is not the case it is more like 14.7/18. also the car is very sleak on the outside but would be better with some door gaurds so when others hit your door you dont end up with a very expensive dent. also navi gets stuck sometimes and you have to restart the car to even use the ac properly. and window locks are dumb because you cant let the passenger control the window without enableling your kids to do so to.

  More Bang for your Buck - 2004 Acura MDX
  By terp97 - August 30 - 2:00 am

  The SUV is great! My and wife and i have been looking at SUV for about a year know and were in no rush to purchase one. We have driven everything from the full size to the crossovers. Yukon/Tahoe, Armada, FX35, X5, Discovery, ML350 and Pathfinder. None come close to the value and options you get in the MDX. Take your time and drive them all! The MDX was the last SUV we looked at and ended up being the one!

  Acura makes the best SUV - 2004 Acura MDX
  By MGZ - August 21 - 2:00 am

  This is an excellent Suv. Only the 85K Range Rover compares.After test- driving the Toureag,X5,ML350,PIlot,GX470,Land Crusier, and XC90, the MDx was my choice due to having the best combination of on and off road performance,features, styling in and out,dashboard layout,prestige,reliability,and value. I think that I spent my 46K well(Its the best SUV in the segment).I love my Acura.

  My MDX - 2004 Acura MDX
  By PinakinDesai - August 16 - 2:00 am

  Excellent performance overall. The only thing that they could improve upon is the wind noise. I also wish they had not taken away the Sun glass holder. Other than that excellent car.
