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 explained the annoying rumble as resonance/drone from the new free flow dual exhaust system. This drone is really aggravating right around 2000 rpms on the highway. The dealer assures me Acura has a fix in the works.
A change to Michelin passenger tires from the original Cross Terrain truck tires did little to soften the ride.
I left a 2002 Toyota Highlander for this new 2004 MDX and I would take that less expensive Highlander back in a heartbeat.
