Love My MDX

by ayelder
Nov 21 '03 

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Stereo rocks, acceleration great for an SUV, navigation is handy and accurate.
Cons: no telescoping wheel, room behind 3rd row seat is only big enough for duffle bags
The Bottom Line: Don't buy it. I want to enjoy the exclusivity of my MDX for awhile longer!

I looked at all the SUVs offering a third row before choosing the MDX. For the money it is by far the best on the market. You can't beat the reliability and resale value and the market hasn't been saturated with them yet. (i.e. Expedition) I agree with ... read more

Best SUV value on the market, we've owned two already!

by brainkeeper
Nov 14 '03 

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Quality, reliability, fit and finish, ride, handling, comfort, ergonomics and updated electronics systems.
Cons: The Acura dealers are a greedy bunch. Still sticker-price only. 2nd row seat should recline.
The Bottom Line: Buy it, you'll love it. As a fickle car owner, I've loved this one for over four years and had two of them in that time.

The Acura MDX is the most unassuming, nimble, and cost-effective luxury SUV we can find. We traded our 01 for the 03 when Acura upped the horsepower and added a rear-view camera. After looking at the late-comers to this group, we still bought another MDX. ... read more

Love it. Best midsize SUV.

by sutker
May 30 '03 - Updated Dec 31 '03 

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Handling, Price, Features
Cons: Fill up the gas tank often
The Bottom Line: Best in Class.

We have owned our 2003 MDX for around 6 months. We purchased from the local dealer and we really couldn’t negotiate much more than $1100 off list, dealer installed options at dealer cost, and we negotiated the extended warranty price down ... read more

by cdcellar
Apr 26 '03 

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Smooth handling, roomy, plenty of standard features
Cons: Gas mileage poorer than stated, no offroad capability
The Bottom Line: A great SUV to take around town and drive, quality ride and materials lead to an "A" class SUV.

When shopping for a SUV there are several offerings in the Lux-ute category. The BMW X5 (3.0i,4.0i,4.4i,4.6i), Mercedes ML (350,500,AMG55), Lexus RX 330, Porsche Cayenne (S,TT), Acura MDX, and the Lexus GX 470. The Porsche is a tad bit pricey and ... read more

Acura does not stand behind their product
by bdicker 
Aug 08 '07 
Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No 
Pros: Comfortable
Cons: Poor Acura customer service
I have very low mileage on my car (37,000 miles in 5 years), but I have to completely replace my engine now. Head gasket blew at 37,000 miles. Acura has not stood behind their vehicle. The dealer lied to us when we took it in to be fixed, and Acura

Great Value for 7 seater SUV
by ceenit 
Mar 30 '06 
Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: seating for 7, powerful engine, car-like ride, all wheel drive
Cons: Standard radio as well as Bose upgraded stereo do not do justice for the vehicle
The 2003 MDX is an all round great value. After three years of ownership I have no issues to report. It is a very comfortable 7 seater with great ergonomics on the fold away rear seats. Comfort is fair in the rear fold away seats, although probably

MDX is the BEST of the BUNCH! You won't be sorry you bought one!

Sep 03 '05 
Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Smooth ride, expensive-feeling & looking, great stereo, better gas mileage than reg sized SUV's, powerful!
Cons: NONE!
I bought my 2003 Acura MDX Touring w/ Navi and I absolutely love it! I looked at so many mini SUV's and drove the lot of them but the MDX blew them all away. It is beautifully designed, not "space-aged"-cheap like the Nissan Murano. It is very
