  3 Years Going Strong - 2004 Acura MDX
  By Carmine L - September 28 - 5:17 am

  We have owned this MDX for three years and it is still a great car. Dealership took care of a couple of glitches without fanfare. Giving this one to one of our kids and just ordered a 2008 MDX w/tech package.

  Lots to like; easy to be with. - 2004 Acura MDX
  By DonMclRPI - August 15 - 2:00 am

  This is by far the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. Everything manages to be in the right place to find it and the little features of automation really work to make the driving pleasant. The heating system, while short of all the buttons, knobs and zones of some others, simply works. I (we) seldome change any setting, save the back seat control to allow passengers their say The second seats are the surprise.... they recline. Backing up with the camera is surprising. Try it in a pitch dark situation to really surprise yourself. And, six though it is, it goes! My advice .... drive this "bland" SUV a few miles before you buy anything else.

  Love this Acura - 2004 Acura MDX
  By Robert B - June 27 - 2:00 am

  I LOVE this car or I mean SUV. It performs & drives like a car. So smooooooth. Great look!!! Navi is very nice to have but does need upgraded, missing a few older streets. Breaks click kind of loud when applied & the shocks thump alittle when taking off. Not big deals but for a $45000.00 vehicle it shouldnt be there. Leather could be a little softer.

  Great Ride - 2004 Acura MDX
  By bri32974 - November 22 - 10:00 am

  Ive had the vehicle for about 3 weeks now. Love the ride. It just feels like your driving a nice vehicle when driving. All my family and friends love it. I did research for about 3 months. Test drove alot of different SUVs. The decision came down to either the MDX or Volkswagen Toureg. For the money, I thought the MDX beat it out. The history of reliability and resale is pretty good compared to some of the other competitors. Im averaging about 18 to 19 miles on the average. Definitely, get the side steps and luggage rack on the vehicle. That finishes off the look of the vehicle. It kind of looks naked without it.

  Zees MDX - 2004 Acura MDX
  By Abryzt - October 14 - 2:00 am

  This SUV handles very well; steers very responsibly. I mightve enjoyed a bucket seat like the Acura TL, but altogether, the MDX indeed is a luxurious SUV.

  Acura MDX - 2004 Acura MDX
  By pakky - September 2 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this vehicle new just over a year ago. It is simply the best SUV I have ever driven. I would not hesitate to recommend its purchase to a friend or family member. My one and only criticism is:fake(plastic)wood.

  By Vixx MDX - August 27 - 2:00 am

  I had the Honda Pilot (which is a great SUV)but I wanted the extras. The MDX has it all. I am extremely pleased that I decided to get the MDX. Best ride Ive ever had. :o)
