2006 Acura MDX Research & Reviews

This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Room for seven passengers or serious amounts of cargo, gutsy V6 engine, well-balanced suspension, top-rated crash test scores.
Cons:
  • Ho-hum interior design and materials, modest tow rating.

    This is my second MDX, and I think it is the best car out there.

  • Great SUV for sedan lovers - 2006 Acura MDX
    By -

    I wasnt wanting an SUV, I was really wanting a TL or an RL but room (2 kids now) means the 03 accord wouldnt cut it and the TL/RLs dont have much more room. I have never owned an SUV but have driven a lot at an old job. I didnt like the truck feeling of most SUVs so I didnt think the MDX would be so "car-like". I was quite surprised when I test drove it at the dealer. It had a lot of power and steering was very much like a normal car. I wasnt as attracted to the MDX so much for style. I like it very much, but still have my doubts about the front end. Hearing such good reviews and safety and reliability reports, I drove the MDX off the lot the day I test drove it.

  • Buy another brand - 2006 Acura MDX

    We have owned a 2001, and 2003 MDX. Both have the same problem. The steering wheel vibrates at any speed above 65. Tires replaced, wheel bearings replaced, rotors replaced and turned several times, tires ground force balanced and nothing fixes the problem. AC quit and multiple other problems.

  • So Far So good..... - 2006 Acura MDX
    By -

    Just purchased this vehicle for my Wife and now I am so jealous of her since she gets to drive it everyday. Overall car cant be beat as it has so much bang for the buck. Nav system is great and a lot of fun to interact with. Car drives incredibly smoothly and power is available as soon as you need it. I am having a hard time keeping the speed low during break-in. Owned 1 Acura before and loved the service and care of brand. Matches to any German brand in my books. Buy this car and youll see what I mean.

  • The best SUV ever - 2006 Acura MDX
    By -

    Granted I have only had my MDX for less than a month but I LOVE THIS SUV. It is the most comfortable, the most convenient interior vehicle I have ever owned. I have had 3 Lexus before this but now I am an Acura customer forever.

  • Great Vehicle, but could use improvement - 2006 Acura MDX
    By -

    The vehicle is great riding higher than the Acura RL. Acura uses standards across all cars on items like placement of controls and heights of arm rests. However, this vehicle is clearly not the flagship car. The RL has much better features, but you cant put in a new TV in your RL. I love the vehicle but miss some of the features of the RL. MPG is closer to 14 city and 24 highway. Nice interior, but not as fit and trim as the RL.

  • MDX Rocks - 2006 Acura MDX

    We love our new MDX. Fun to drive, extremly comfortable, and as reliable as any SUV on the market. Engine is very impressive.

  • I Love My MDX - 2006 Acura MDX
    By -

    I checkd out my MDX for 3 months before I purchased. I definitely did my homework before I bought this vehicle, the only opponent to the MDX was the Lexus and the deciding factor was when I realized that every option added to the Lexus would cost atleast another grand! With the MDX all the goodies were included.

    The Navagation System has come very handy during some of trips to unknown places. The system always knows where we are and provides excellent directions.

  • Best SUV on the market - 2006 Acura MDX

    Great combination of power, handling, and comfort. Kids love the DVD system!
