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.

  I LOVE MY MDX! - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Duane - March 8 - 12:39 am

  I have driven the MDX when it first came out however wasnt in a position to buy due to my enthusiasm with the TL. Coming from a Honda Odyssey, I found it necessary for me to continue to have the space for me and my children while expanding my versatility with its all-wheel drive capability. Now my third Acura owned, the Acura MDX provides for me the luxury and performance I desire the necessity of satisfying the soccer and vacation trips, and the comfort of owning a truly reliable vehicle.

  Love this Vehicle!!! - 2006 Acura MDX
  By paratrooper1 - March 7 - 6:43 pm

  My wife and I must have looked at every suv out there when we were in the market to purchase one. We have always liked the MDX but we just figured that we would find something that we would like better. Well, we didnt. We were going to get the Volvo XC-90 but it just didnt drive as nice as the MDX and the seats were not as comfortable and also it had very bad reliability ratings in Consumer Guide (as well as most of the European SUVs did). But as I said before it was just the perfect fit for us and what we wanted in a suv.

  Great Vehicle, needs updating - 2006 Acura MDX
  By espoe - March 2 - 9:46 pm

  This is my first SUV and I went into one kicking and screaming. But the need for a 3rd row of seats put me out of my long cherished German cars. I compared this Nissans entire line, Ford Freestyle, Pacifica, Higlander Hybrid, you name it. I had narrowed it down to the MDX and the Highlander Hybrid. Highlander was nice but felt less substantial and a lot more plasticky. When I drove the MDX it was clearly different than the rest. The quality just made itself evident in the way the dealer handled the transaction, the silky smooth drive train, quiet, comfortable, full time 4wd, warranty and the rest of the ride made it a simple choice. Fuel economy is Ok. Needs Premium, ouch!!

  Typical Acura Quality - 2006 Acura MDX
  By carolinaeagle - March 1 - 9:38 pm

  3rd Acura owned - and there is just something about the fit/finish to an Acura that stands out. Love the performance and handling of the MDX - drives better than a lot of sedans. Interior design/layout is perfect. Love the quality that you see everywhere. Sage brush pearl is an awesome color.

  What a truck!!! - 2006 Acura MDX
  By happyMDXowner - March 1 - 9:03 pm

  I was in love with MDX since it come out in 99 and finally have one on my driveway. It proved everything I have expected and more. Very nice size, plenty of guts and excelent quality. Dealer was great too. Wife loves it too and it equally comfortable for both of us. Looked at BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus and MDX tops them all in my eyes. Great value, highly recomended for both men and women alike

  3rd Acura - 2nd MDX - 2006 Acura MDX
  By SLS - February 21 - 6:01 pm

  This is my third Acura. Have always found these cars a great value for the money. Had my first 2002 MDX for 4 years and was looking for a new SUV but no matter how much research and test drives I did I kept coming back to the MDX because the price to feature and luxury ration could not be beat.

  Love the MDX, hate the mileage - 2006 Acura MDX
  By AED2491 - February 18 - 3:13 pm

  I love the MDX. I drove a company car for years, and switched jobs so I had to purchase a car for the first time in over 10 years. I purchased it due mostly to the fact that it was the best- fitting SUV for me. (I am 64" tall, so the leg room was what led me to the MDX). Looked at other mid-size SUVs (Toyota, Volvo, VW, etc.) and others were just too small for me. All the features in the car are outstanding!

  Fun to drive - 2006 Acura MDX
  By Gregory Volkov - February 5 - 4:36 pm

  It is my second MDX. I love this car so does my family. For the price it is the roomiest and best SUV on the market. Fun to drive and easy to maintain.
