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.

  • Made my neighbors jealous.... - 2004 Acura MDX

    38,500 + tax After researching a lot on SUVs that have a 3rd row option, we settled with the 4Runner (V8) and the MDX. After test driving MDX, my wife didnt like the rough handling of the 4Runner. Style and safety were our main concerns. MDX, being Acuras only SUV, they have really expended significant research into it. The twin exhaust and the VSC in the 2004 model embellishes the 265-hp engine. We got the silver with ebony interior. I recommend getting the all-purpose mats ($120.00), original mats seemed to stick everything that falls on it. A good-size SUV that is stylish, powerful, and yet quite smooth to handle, but not for unpaved adventu

  • The most for the Money - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    I love the MDX, It blows away the Lexus for the money, the Volvo has a good looking interior, but doesnt have any of the features that are available in the Acura. The Nav system & the entertainment system are very user friendly & are worth the price. Its the best luxury vehicle for the money.

  • So far, so excellent - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    Not gone too far yet, but so far everything I could hope for. Drives like a Acura sports sedan and almost as good as my quatro Audi. A dream on the highway, especially if you are used to driving an old fashion SUV. Nav system very intuitive and impressively accurate.

  • Excellent SUV - 2004 Acura MDX

    We have had the Acura MDX for 8 months now and absolutely love it! It has been a perfect car and have had absolutely no problems. The only thing you have to be careful about is that, with the 265 Horsepower engine, it is easy to get going too fast - have to watch those speed limits carefully.

  • Best car I ever bought - 2004 Acura MDX

    The car is wonderful. Our only regret is not spending the extra money on the touring model. This car drives like a dream

  • Fix those brakes! - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    We love this car! Great flexibilty with the seats in the back and we dont have to worry about fitting into parking spaces like Yukon owners. Great engine and the sound system is great! The only complaint is the damn clicking in the brakes..what is the deal with that?!?! We didnt want to pay what U.S. dealers were charging so we bought it for less including shipping to our house in San Diego by buying it from a Canadian dealership. NO PROBLEMS and we get the daytime running lights.
