  Best Car I Ever Drove - 2004 Acura MDX
  By sunshineks - November 19 - 2:00 am

  My Acura MDX is the most comfortable and easy driving car I have ever had. I do alot of highway driving and the MDX almost drives itself. It is very quiet and smooth. I will never go back to driving a smaller car again.

  I LOVE this car! - 2004 Acura MDX
  By LoopyL10 - November 16 - 3:30 am

  After driving a Ford Explorer for 6 years, I think I died and went to heaven once we purchased the MDX! A smooth, comfortable ride, good gas mileage for its size and plenty of room. Great power, a fun car to drive and own. I highly recommend over the Volvo, you wont regret this purchase! If you are considering the Pilot try spurging on the MDX a much more luxurious, better riding SUV.

  My First Luxury SUV - 2004 Acura MDX
  By myfirstacura - November 7 - 11:56 pm

  We recently traded in our 2003 Suzuki XL7 Limited for a brand-new 2004 MDX Premium package since it was closeout to make room for 05s. What can I say - I absolutely love this car! The seats are awesome and there is very little body roll. The interior design and materials quality is much better than the SRX and is almost as good as the RX330. Overall, we are getting about 16-17 MPG in the city right now.

  Love this vehicle, it fits my busy life - 2004 Acura MDX
  By kelshine - November 7 - 4:35 pm

  Great SUV! Fun to drive, love the flexibilty it offers from carrying 7 people to schlepping bicycles in the rear, to hauling a boxed full size washer in the back. Very easy to lay down seats to gain full access to cargo area. The DVD was great on vacation with the girls, not once did we hear, "Are we there yet??" I love the back up camera, very helpful when small children are around to make sure is is safe to back up. Love the 77 inch width on SUV, I feel very safe, even when windy on highways not getting blown over! Only complaint, I have had 3 dead mice inside my blower in 4 months! Have had to take to dealership to have them removed. This makes our 4th Honda vehicle since 1986.

  Extremely solid, well-built, fun to drive SUV. Feels like a car. Memory seats work well given my wife and I both drive it. Very good road trip vehicle with kids.

  Fun to drive Acura - 2004 Acura MDX
  By ldnhpnc - October 23 - 2:00 am

  This is the most pleasurable vehicle to drive that I have ever owned. It handles like a fine European road car on country roads and is sophisticated and smooth on highways. There is a great blend of performance and economy for an SUV that weighs 4500 pounds with all wheel drive.

  A Lot of Bang for the Buck! - 2004 Acura MDX
  By Milt Payton - October 21 - 2:00 am

  My MDX handles extremely well in city traffic. For a large vehicle it is quite nimble. The climate control system is able to keep the vehicle comfortable with the sun roof open. The sound system is great with a killer sub-woofer. It a very convenient SUV to drive with all of the standard features like automatic wipers that turn on and change their speed automatically. The same is true of the lights that come on automatically although the should come on automatically when the windshield wipers are working to enable compliance with our state law. The seats are very comfortable especially on long trips. It has more features that my wifes BMW X5 at a lower cost and better city handling.
