  Reliability>Safety>Quality>Value - 2004 Acura MDX
  By Goli - September 15 - 10:00 am

  3.3K. I am happier with it every day. QUALITY- no a rattle/squeak. Great leather. PERFORMANCE- fast, powerful, effortless. SUSPENSION-comparable SUVs are either too soft or too stiff, MDX has perfectly balanced a comfortable ride with very good HANDLING. UTILITY useful ample space, turn seating for 7 into open flush space in just seconds. My dogs love this vehicle (BTW- the optional CARGO LINER is a must-have (tailor-made for the MDX protects interior from dogs, bikes, scuba gear, etc). COMFORT-very quiet (although some wind noise at very high speeds), comfortable, and great seats. AC is great! SE FL resident on a Black/Black.

  Its the ultimate drivers machine - 2004 Acura MDX
  By carmin ator - July 15 - 12:38 am

  The MDX is the ultimate drivers machine. The "ultimate driving machine" might be good for short hops from the mansion to the golf course. But the MDX is perfect for hauling 6 humans and luggage for a 10 day road-trip. Handling is crisp and taut. Interior room is adequate for 6 - if you put the kids in the last row. The convenience package is adequate neither underwhelming nor overwhelming. The safety features crumple zones, breakaway mounts, full curtain side airbags, etc. are uptodate. Mileage was a paltry 12-13mpg street and 20-25 hwy. For absolute comfort buy the Navigator for raw power buy the X5. But if youre on a budget and want an all-round SUV thats awesome to drive buy the MDX.

  I Love My MDX - 2004 Acura MDX
  By lvernacc - June 18 - 7:22 pm

  I purchased my MDX a year ago after researching and test driving all comparable SUVs. I chose the MDX for the roominess, feel and gas mileage. By far this vehicle handles better than any other in its class. There is plenty of leg room in all three rows and comes standard with front and side airbags. I would recommend this car to everyone. It comes in handy for traveling with children and teenagers.

  Perfect, but no Hybrid - 2004 Acura MDX
  By TJP - June 16 - 4:07 pm

  Were had our Premium model for almost a year, and weve thoroughly enjoyed it to date. No problems, as youd expect from a Honda product, excellent comfort and room, and decent power. Fuel economy never has been above 19 mpg, however, despite highway only jaunts. Admittedly, these have been at high speeds (75-80 mph), at which drag would be substantial for a vehicle this size. If we wanted maximum fuel economy, wed have gotten a Jetta diesel with a trailer for our stuff. For our needs, the MDX has been perfect

  Just Love It....... - 2004 Acura MDX
  By gohogsgo - June 15 - 10:00 am

  We purchased a loaded MDX last October and have loved everything almost everything about it. The only thing that has gone wrong with the car is one of the headlight bulbs burned out at 6k miles. Of course this was under warranty but a hassel none the less. It is a fun car to drive. The kids just love the dvd and we love the headphones! Another thing I should mention is that the nav system isnt as current as I would have expected. The neighborhood that we live in was built in 1999 and is not in the system. Also my office which has been open since 1997 isnt in there either. The software could use some updating.

  Pretty Good - but NOT perfect ! - 2004 Acura MDX
  By Baltimore Owner - June 13 - 7:01 pm

  Bought in Nov 2004 as leftover - got excellent deal (below invoice). Vehicle has had several problems since then: 1. Tire(s): Touring was supposed to have Michelin ONE of the 4 tires was a GOODYEAR !! (dealer fixed) 2. Despite VERY VERY gentle driving, developed shimmy at 7k miles and had brake rotors cut (dealer fixed) 3. Interior speaker cover fell off spontaneously (dealer fixed) 4. Headliner rattles VERY loudly on left side when going over large bumps or RR tracks - Dealer could NOT fix ..
