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.

  • Happy, so far. - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    Fun to drive, nav system is incredible (but slightly out-dated restaurant locations), Bose sound system is good, great acceleration (but feels slow), slight wind noise (but 200% better than my Integra), simple instrumentation, slightly wider than I would have liked (77"W is from door to door, not including mirrors), rear camera is awesome, smooth ride. What else can I say....so far, I really like it. I waited until the last day of June to buy. On the last day of the month, all Acura dealers dropped their prices to at least $500 over invoice. I paid invoice price, plus they threw-in a decor package.

  • AWESOME SUV (except for the locks) - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    Everything is the best with this suv, except for its door lock switch- it cheapens the vehicle a little.

  • Love my Red Rock MDX - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    Only complaint? Its difficult to thoroughly clean front seat interior area around the "cracks"-near gear shift,cup holder and door panels. I am very pleased with gas mileage-I have gotten over 23MPG on the highway twice. Probably would have been 25 if I had kept it down to 55. LOVE MY ACURA!

  • My MDX - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    Absolutely the best I have bought. I was originally going to purchase a BMW X5 but changed after driving the MDX. It has more features and creature comforts at no extra charge. I also was impressed with its handling ability at higher speeds.

    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.

  • Owner/Driver - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    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.

  • love it love it - 2004 Acura MDX
    By -

    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~
