Overview & Reviews

Other than some minor interior trim changes for the Touring package -- ebony-colored Zebra wood-patterned trim replaces last year's Burl wood, and satin chrome interior accents instead of bright chrome -- the Acura MDX is unchanged for 2006. New SAE testing procedures drop the MDX's horsepower rating from 265 to 253.

• Room for seven passengers or serious amounts of cargo, gutsy V6 engine, well-balanced suspension, top-rated crash test scores.

• Ho-hum interior design and materials, modest tow rating.

  Great Ride - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Realtor - May 7 - 8:59 pm

  The fuel economy is really not bad when compared with other SUVs. I average 19 mpg (more city than hwy). The ride is smooth and quiet. I am a realtor and my clients always comment on how comfortable this vehicle is. I enjoy the ride myself and only regret that I did not upgrade to the touring. The base stereo is really lacking and no passenger power seat is embarrasing in a vehicle of this caliber.

  Black Touring Navi and Entertainment - 2006 Acura MDX
  By laxdad - October 31 - 9:38 am

  First off we do love this vehicle and except for a chronic rear door sticking issue, this SUV has been a great vehicle, drives more like a car than a truck, plenty of power and comfortable, family loves XM radio and navigation is huge help when traveling. We got the running boards, pinstripe and rear deflector which really helps dress the look up. Gas mileage is as usual disappointing but expected. We avg 15 around town and just over 20 on the road.

  Love my MDX! - 2006 Acura MDX
  By maryindublin - August 31 - 11:35 pm

  I live in the mountains, lots of driving uphill and lots of snow in winter. Never had any problems in the snow with the AWD. I feel safe and confident. The front seats are very comfy, but the back seats could use a bit more room. I have a 3 year old in a booster seat in the back and he doesnt have all that much leg room. Still, I wouldnt trade it for anything and plan to drive it till it wont drive any more!

  Les MDX - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Leslie Mays - January 13 - 6:27 am

  Driving experience with my 2006 MDX is hands down "all stares". I drive for a living, so at the time of searching for a new car I became very selective about the vehicle I wanted to purchase, I had a few in mind but, when I ran across the MDX on the highway I fell in love with the looks at first, then when I visited the dealer and saw what it had to offer, I was taken. All my friends love my MDX and for me the joy of knowing where I go the MDX will be there by my side.

  AZ Acura MDX Owners Comments - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Danno - December 12 - 6:11 pm

  Great handling pleasure to drive vehicle. OK mileage. Quiet, solid, spacious. Always wanted one, now I have one. Like the way the vehicle is appointed with leather seats, and wood trim. Fold down seats help and 3rd row conceals nicley. Safe, luxurious, sporty, good HP, performs well on and off road (within reason... not a rock crawler). Glad I bought it.

  Outstanding!! by FOB - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Outstanding!! by FOB - December 9 - 8:41 am

  When I decided to buy a mid-size SUV I settled on test driving the RX 350, X5 and MDX. I have owned the MDX for two months now and couldnt be happier with my choice --- performance, interior quality, and comfort are oustanding... all this for $7K less than the closest competitor.

  Acura MDX: Delivers with Value - 2006 Acura MDX
  By R. Harris - October 23 - 4:50 pm

  Just bought a EOY 2006 and what a value. Loaded it came in under $38K and then added a GAMIN GPS 52 for $500.00 saving $7,000.00.

  Best choice for third row seat 4wd SUV - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Marc - October 18 - 12:00 am

  I have 3, soon to be 4 kids. But this is the secondary kid hauler to the minivan. The MDX is incredibly comfortable with just the right amount of refinement to be attractive but not overdone. All my kids are comfortable in the third row (tall 6 and 8 year olds) with moderate room behind 3rd row. Gas mileage has been 17 city and as good as 27 on the highway. Fold down seating is quick and easy. Stereo is good, not great. Runs fine on 87 or 93 octane.

  another great Acura vehicle - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Acurafan - October 16 - 7:13 am

  I really enjoy this Acura, the seating for 7 is great - can take my kids and their friends out in one vehicle. And can still park in my garage. Ive owned 4 previous Acuras, so Im loyal, but before buying this MDX I considered the competitors. The MDX was the better total package - great balance of sporty features with practicality, Also, its the perfect size allowing for a useful 3rd row (kids).

  Great Car! - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Diana S. Rumsey - October 7 - 6:19 pm

  Being that The Acura is my very first new car purchase, I did a great deal of research and comparisons. I am extremely pleased with my decision! The Acura MDX smooth & quiet to drive & holds curves well. The interior is comfortable & very adaptable. Both my husband and myself are physically handicapped and find the car to be a perfect fit for our needs.
