Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Three rows of seats, cargo space, versatility, lots of stuff for the price
Cons: Fake wood everywhere, performance and luxury though OK are less than promised
The Bottom Line: With three rows of seats, the MDX offers a lot of vehicle for the price. Just don't expect it to match the Lexus in luxury or the BMW in performance.
You might be forgiven for not knowing what the MDX is, since MDX isn't a very descriptive name. It seems MDX is Acura-speak for SUV. Specifically, an SUV that can take you wherever you want to go (if the ads and brochure imagery are to be believed)yet ...

Pros: Good handling for an SUV, good looks, standard package has everything.
Cons: Another damn suv.
The Bottom Line: I can't dance:(
Speed demon's intensifying visage blurs in your rear view mirror, as your heart's yen for teen spirit beats a tattoo in your chest. My advice to you, if you are driving one of the 50 SUV's that are in the market today, is to hold your damn horses....

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: 4 wheel drive when needed, luxurious seats, comfortable ride
Cons: Center console awkward for drinks, could spill easily and affect seat controls for heat

The mileage is somewhat better than most of the SUV's. With our...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good power and handling, lots of room, above average quality control.
Cons: uneven interior appointments, some ergonomics, determining corners of vehicle when parking, waiting for delivery
The Bottom Line: A fine vehicle when a nice luxury sedan is not quite enough to fit all the things you need to load in for a family, or a long trip.
I have reviewed this vehicle because I have been shopping for an SUV. I was hesitant to write anything, until I noticed at least half the reviewers do not even own this vehicle!
So I decided to jump in and join the fray.
I was also...

Pros: Interior design, power, very intuitive nav
Cons: wind noise, gas mileage, expensive/ugly accessories
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the MDX for families that mainly need to carry people and occasionally drive in bad weather.
My family bought the MDX with Navi and Touring packages in the April of 2000. It was intended for long road trips, carrying up to 7 people and luggage, and occasionally venturing out to Tahoe for some fun in the snow. So far, it has done so in typical ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Lots of space, power, utility, and comfort
Cons: no history, below-average braking, cabin noise
The Bottom Line: A great all-around SUV for people who have young families or who otherwise need to haul lots of stuff. Top-rated by Car and Driver and Motor Trend magazines.
We originally put down a deposit on the MDX, but later switched to the BMW X5. There's much to recommend the MDX, and we continue to believe that it will be an ideal SUV for many people.
There’s no such thing as the perfect vehicle to meet...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handled awful driving conditions with power, confidence and safety; a joy to drive
Cons: Quirky CD player eats discs, mirrors whistle
The Bottom Line: Handles the worst roads with comfort, safety and confidence. Best sound system going, just don't feed it thick CDs. No problems after a solid year of driving; it's all good!
I had a Mazda Tribute and was very happy with it; great price, superb handling, thrilling power/weight ratio, even at highway speeds still lots of acceleration tucked away ready for passing.
But...I carry more than five people sometimes and...

Cons: nothing significant
The Bottom Line: It's a great vehicle for the price. It's comfortable, roomy, rides great, and is environmentally friendly.
After owning the sporty BMW 328 for a little over a year, the boyfriend and I (OK, mostly just the boyfriend) decided that it was time for a change. A big change! That change was to come in the form of the Acura MDX. After having the car for about two...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Great looks and design, powerful 240hp engine, reasonable "WOW" factor (for now)
Cons: Some design enhancements needed, add-on almost required, difficult to find
The Bottom Line: Don't get me wrong, the Acura MDX is a good SUV. However, I will at least wait until next year before getting one.
I am fortunate to be able to drive the new 2001 Acura MDX. This is Acura’s first SUV in the US, and they want to do a good job with it.
My father has purchased this vehicle and likes it. Personally, I wouldn’t have bought it. Since there are...

Pros: Excellent road manners, great value, lots of nice features, great navigation system

The Bottom Line: The nest Value in its class and probably the easiest to live with in the long run.
Ever since the SUV craze hit in the early 90’s there has been a constant move toward the upscale market. Today we have seen the emergence of four major players in the $40K pseudo-SUV market, they are vehicles from traditional luxury marques and all...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: car like
roomy
refined
innovative features
Cons: third seat is too small for adults.
Moderate cargo room with third seat up.
The Bottom Line: New, upscale. Incredible technology and craftsmanship separates the MDX from the rest.
The MDX was developed by Honda for those who don't know. They spent plenty of time developing the "perfect all-terrain vehicle." 7 years to be exact. Anyway, it's release in 2000 astonished everyone including myself. At first, I was pretty skeptical...

Pros: Good power, Sporty (by SUV standards) handling and ride control
Cons: Noise-Vibration-Harshness, Bad fake wood, cheap dashboard plastics
The Bottom Line: A very good $28,000 car trying to pass as a $38,000 luxury SUV.
I have been attracted to the Acura MDX ever since I first heard about it. It claims to offer everything my family wants/needs in a family car...reliability, luxury, value, performance, style, and 7 passenger seating.
Now that I have driven it,...
