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.

  Awesome Drive - Love it - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Jacklemind - July 13 - 10:00 am

  I recently brought a certified MDX. I love the drive, its powerful, fun to drive. Gas mileage is not bad, considering its a luxury offering. The dashboard was not hard to figure out, however, the sound system is not that great, although it has BOSE speakers, it does not deliver the punch. No Aux input (newer cars have it) - bummer. Spacious interior, although 3rd row seating is not for adults - its more a 6 seater than 7. All other features are great, independent rare AC - love it. Cargo space is not good with 3rd row seats up. Would recommend buying a cargo net, otherwise, things will be all over the cargo area.

  so nice - 2006 Acura MDX
  By toomanypetz - March 27 - 10:07 am

  We replaced our Honda Pilot with this car. I really liked my Pilot but to get all these features it would cost so much more. The Acura has a smooth quiet ride and plenty of room. I feel very luxurious with all the leather and comfort. It makes me feel less like a "soccer mom". We love it!

  So far, so good! - 2006 Acura MDX
  By TR - December 28 - 7:23 pm

  I just bought my MDX after owning an Yukon & Odyssey. I loved, loved, loved my Yukon, but the MDX is neck and neck. I certainly have more options with the MDX and paid a lot less. Its the perfect size for me to haul my 3 pre-teens and their friends around in. I dont give anything a 10 rating, so consider my 9 your 10. Would highly recommend it. The back lift gate is light enough to close. No need for a power lift gate.

  Still Love My Acura!! - 2006 Acura MDX
  By pearl - June 22 - 7:13 pm

  I still love my Acura after 2 years of ownership! This is my 2nd car made by Honda and my other was an Accord and I have been very happy with both. The Acura is like a Honda on steroids! Love the back up TV, navigation, onstar, Bluetooth, heated seats, and my kids love the DVD. I would definitely consider another Acura in the future!

  In 18 months of driving the MDX, not a single item has needed repair - we had a leaking tire once, but the dealer removed the nail, patched the tire, and didnt even charge me (and we only knew of the condition because of the dashboard warning light). Great ride, sporty handling, good acceleration off the line, does everything right.

  LOVE my MDX - 2006 Acura MDX
  By jennifer - June 8 - 10:53 pm

  I love my car. I am consistently getting between 18-20 MPG, which is great for a 7 passenger vehicle. Quality of finish is great. Has everything I would ever want in a car. Navigation easy to maneuver. Heated seats work well. XM and Bluetooth both work well also. My 6 teenage son is a little cramped in the back seat--mostly because he slouches. Wish there was sunglasses holder, but center console works fine. Automatic closing hatch would have been a nice feature, but all in all, this is the best car Ive owned. I have been looking around for something with same features and 25 mpg in the city... cant find anything that compares!!!

  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.

  Poor Fuel economy - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Acura MDX - April 22 - 2:45 pm

  This car is barely breaking 13 MPG thats combined city/hwy. Called Customer Service to see if they can do anything about it because the dealer couldnt. The worst customer service ever, they said "There is no issue for us to address". WOW! Thats after they put me on hold for 40 minutes.

  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!
