  • With updates in 2003 and 2004, can the MDX hold its own against newer competitors?

    Oct 25 '03
    Pros: Passenger and cargo space, standard content, above-average performance and handling
    Cons: Awkward styling, interior materials, others quicker, better handling, and/or more comfortable

    Summary: Three years ago Acura introduced the first car-based SUV with three rows of seats. Although in my opinion the MDX did not deliver the exhilarating driving experience claimed by Acura, it was a hit. Since then the field has become more crowded. Soon every ...

  • Good valued vehicle...poor brake system!

    Mar 01 '06
    Pros: Comfortable ride, nice interior features and options. Good value for the money.
    Cons: Extremely bad rotors/brakes, clicking calipers, loud, sloshing gas tank. Brake maintenance cost very expensive!

    Summary: I previously owned a 2003 MDX and 2004 MDX, both Touring Models, fully loaded. While the MDX handles well, has a nice comfortable ride and excellent interior features and options, the brake system leaves VERY MUCH TO BE DESIRED! I owned a 2003 MDX for 6 ...

  • Very good vehicle, but should be much better

    Dec 26 '04
    Pros: great for family of 4-5
    Cons: leg room in all rows should be increased, some basic battery run down protection needed

    Summary: As usually I won’t stop much on specs. If you are making an important decision you have to do your home work. I think in all my posts I highlight only stuff that’s missing from other’s reviews and might be important to swing you to either ...

  • Not a technical "Car Talk" review, just good family info on the MDX

    Oct 20 '04
    Pros: Spacious, great safety features, beautiful interior, drives like a car.
    Cons: 3rd row seat doesn't fold flat, exterior styling a bit bland.

    Summary: With the impending birth of our first child, we started feeling uneasy about the safety/size of our current vehicle. After much research and test driving of 2004 SUV models, including the Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Toureg and Honda Pilot, we ...

  • Great All-Around Family SUV

    Oct 18 '04
    Pros: Quality, handling, engine, ride, quiteness, advanced technology.
    Cons: I have not found any yet... 3rd row a little tight.

    Summary: I purchased the 2004 MDX Touring with Navigation & DVD Entertainment While researching SUV's I considered the BMW X5, Lexus GX470, Volvo XC90, and the MDX's sister, the Honda Pilot. I desired a third row seat so the X5 was out. The Lexus 3rd row is ...

  • A great near luxury SUV

    Mar 28 '04
    Pros: Car like drive, not as common to see as the RX300 series
    Cons: Buggy navigation system and very tight 3rd row seating

    Summary: The 2004 Acura MDX is a near-luxury SUV. It competes with other full size SUVs. Other SUV's considered and driven were the BMW X5 and X3, Lexus 2003 RX300 and 2004 RX330, Toyota Highlander SE, and VW Tourag. The X5 is a superior ride all around, but the ...

  • 2004 Acura MDX

    Dec 05 '07
    Pros: Comfort, ride, power having 265HP, plenty of front-row leg and shoulder room.
    Cons: There is none to be found.

    Summary: I bought a used 2004 MDX with 25,000mi and love it. It is the touring model with DVD and side air bags. The steering is tight, the seats are very comfortable especially on long highway drives. Exceleration on exit raps are very impressive. When parking

  • 2004 Acura MDX with Tech Package

    Sep 04 '04
    Pros: Powerful acceleration, styling, tech features, ride and comfort
    Cons: Patching an mp3 player in is archaic.

    Summary: I have had the great pleasure to own a 2004 Acura MDX with tech package since June. I am very happy with the car and the dealer. I have no negative comments except that some front seat audio jacks would have allowed me to bypass the tape deck when

  • High expectations/disappointing results

    Mar 03 '04
    Pros: Well appointed, good fit and finish, powerful engine
    Cons: stiff ride, noisy exhaust drone, not enough leg room for both driver and passenger

    Summary: My new 2004 MDX was a factory order and expectations were high. I had based those expectations on my buddies 2003 that I drove occasionally. When my new 04 arrived I found the ride much harsher and noisier thanks to the new dual exhaust. The dealer

  • Great Family Car

    Feb 13 '04
    Pros: Great Handling, cool navigational system w/rearview camera, plenty of seating with ample room
    Cons: That I didn't buy a MDX 3 years ago!

    Summary: We purchased the Bronze (limited color) 2004 MDX. This mid-size SUV has very sleek, tight lines. Well built, sharp styling. Just this morning I was taking the kids to school and saw a car in my rearview mirror and thought "Thats a nice looking car" it

  • Beware Acura CD Changer

    Feb 02 '04
    Pros: Looks, styling, ride, handling, performance, finish
    Cons: Short range on gas tank, And that CD issue...

    Summary: Great car in every aspect. But beware the CD changer option. Acura is unfortunately unique (in my experience) in having a CD changer that is not capable of random play across all disks--it only shuffles around the cuts on the selected disk. This is

  • A Dream to Drive!

    Nov 17 '03
    Pros: Everything!
    Cons: Nothing!

    Summary: I purchased the MDX with touring package last month. This car far exceeds my expectations. It is so comfortable and quiet to drive that I feel like I could fall asleep at the wheel. I love the color (sagebrush), the ride, the sound system, the gas
