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.

? paint problem - 2002 Acura MDX
By WifesSUV - August 16 - 2:00 amI love the MDX however have had one disconcerting observation. The paint seems to chip quite easily.I have now noticed a paint bubble on the hood. I have owned nearly every make of auto and am somewhat concerned about the integrity of the finish on this vehicle. Futhermore, I have noticed this on other MDXs in parking lots. I found a newer MDX with a 3-4 mm rusted rock chip on the hood in a parking lot. This seems odd. I would be interested in getting feedback from other owners.

Excellent SUV for - 2002 Acura MDX
By SusanY - August 14 - 2:00 amThis has been a fantastic vehicle for me and my family. Comfortable for long drives as well as long commutes. Gas mileage is good for a large vehicle and reliability has been perfect. We see the dealer only for scheduled maintenance -- and our dealership offers service well beyond what we expect every time.

LOVE MY MDX - 2002 Acura MDX
By MacGyver - August 13 - 2:00 amI was in the market for a SUV and had read positive reviews on the MDX from leading car magazines and it was name as a Best Buy in Consumer Reports Magazine as well. It drives like a car build has the room of an SUV and handles great in the snow! It also has comes very nicely equipped for a a base model so much so I didnt see the need to spend an extra $2500.00 on the touring package!

Best SUV Deal - 2005 Acura MDX
By Peter C - August 12 - 8:23 pmI went from an Accord to the MDX wanting a vehicle for 4 wheel reliability & being quite pleased with Hondas workmanship. I also wanted a good deal which after studying all the other SUVs in the MDX price range, I feel I got it. It is a good looking vehicle, with good solid engine performance I am real pleased with my MDX.

Great SUV - 2005 Acura MDX
By ChaosMiners - August 7 - 7:06 amI drove this car for a week at Lake Tahoe while we were getting 9 feet of snow. Not a hint of a handling problem even when the roads were heavily iced. One great feature is that the drivers seat will lower to a point where you can get in and out of the car on ice without transferring all your weight when standing on ice.

ranieri - 2002 Acura MDX
By vranieri1 - August 4 - 2:00 amMy wife totaled her vehicle and is still alive due too the excellent safety features incorporated into this SUV. If you have this vehicle consider yourself safe and if you want this vehicle consider purchasing the MDX.

Very satisfied Honda/Acura convert - 2002 Acura MDX
By ArmyofTwo - July 28 - 2:00 amI was looking for a replacement for my 97 Explorer Limited. Tested the BMW X5 & the Volvo XC90 both were impressive. The BMW had limited cargo space & the XC90 felt underpowerd for the weight and leary of 1st model year. Tried the MDX and found it very roomy, comfortable & excellent "bang for the buck". Great car with the power & economy balance that more than satisfies me. Friends & family that have owned Honda products swear by them for reliability & endurance features reinforced my buying decision. I am not a tree-hugger but I am pleased that the vehicle meets ULEV standards.

Honda quality - 2002 Acura MDX
By Klinie Kent - July 23 - 2:00 amYou just cant beat Honda/Acura quality. We researched several SUVs before we purchased the MDX and it won hands down. The only other SUV we considered was the BMW X5. The MDX third row seat, not to mention about 10 grand less, made the choice very easy. One other thing to look at is standard features. Acura has basically no options, it is all standard. That is where the big price difference was with the MDX vs. X5!! Good luck, you wont go wrong with anything from Honda.
