  • Smooth rider - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    At first, I felt that it was big for me to drive, but then when I got used to it, I honestly prefer to drive my Acura MDX instead of Honda Accord/ Coupe. What I like about this car it is very quiet and runs really smooth. I am very happy that we had selected this vehicle.

  • 2004 MDX Touring Review - 2005 Acura MDX

    This vehicle has the quality, size (interior,exterior)appropriate for most buyers. We have this SUV and a 2002 Mercedes sedan. The MDX is the preferred transportation.

  • Excellent Vehicle - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    This vehicle is outstanding. Everyday I drive it, I find new conveniences. Ive owned several SUVs including the BMW, Lexus LX470, and Dodge Durango. This one takes the cake. It is larger on the inside that it looks, and the car is smooth with no problems. I am frugal in my praise, which has led two friends to also purchase the vehicle. Great for families and excellent in the Chicago snow.

  • The best of the best - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    This is one of if not the best car we have ever owned and that includes Mercedes. The navigator is a real joy on trips or just around the area. The quality is top notch and it is so very nice to drive. Gas mileage on trips has been 24 mpg and around town around 20. The acceleration is a little slower than some cars such as entering the freeway but in all other respects this is just the best of the best!

  • MDX is the best! - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    More than a year of research and finally decided to get the MDX. The 2005 model have almost everything I wanted in a vehicle, the voice controls, blue-tooth tech., navigation, DVD entertainment, power seats, memory, on-star, backing-up camera, rain- sensing wipers, 7-seats, AWD, blah blah blah... etc. It is worth every penny and the whole family loves this car so much.

  • Second time around - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    This is my second MDX and I love it more than the first one(2001) I had to wait 3 months for the first one and it was well worth it. The 2005 model is a great improvement. More power, comfort , options and its even quieter. Hip, Hip huray for acura. and a special thanks to Rob at Paragon Acura for the great service.

  • Great car in more way than one. - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    I have been driving several luxury cars in the past and I have never like any of them as much as I love my MDX. This car is just awsome. So much space and it drives so smooth handles great in the snow and rain. It is just a wonderful car. Thank you Acura for making it.

  • 2005 MDX - tested better than the rest - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    Early days, but extremely satisfied: soft ride, good acceleration, great nav & stereo, seats all roomy and comfortable, and sits high with good view of surrounding traffic. Road tested (over 2 month period) against Lx-330, Fx-35, M-Class, VW-T and the Pilot (just see if there was a difference since everyone said it was just a Pilot - Acura is a much tighter drive, not to mention the luxury items - it is different).

  • Fun to Drive - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -

    After going through some more expensive SUVs, I settled for the MDX. Has more seating capacity than the RX330 or ML320 at a much lower price. Love the way they package the vehicle so you dont have to mix and match like other vehicles.

  • Great Ride - 2005 Acura MDX
    By -
