2003 Acura MDX - Base
Pros: comfort and size
Cons: LOW gas mileage!
Advice: Beware of the low gas mileage
I love everything about this car: the seating, the comfort, not too big, easy to drive, the 4wd, rear camera, etc. BUT THE MILEAGE IS HORRIBLE!! paying almost $5 bucks a gallon, and I get 13.4 mpg (Sticker says 17-23). Terrible. And the trip computer is inaccurate, telling me I get much more than I do. BIG disappointment. Now we're garaging it (it's fully paid for), taking it out for long trips, and buying a Bug to get around town. -
2007 Acura RDX - w/Technology Package
Pros: Technology package--the sound system and navigation system are exceptional.
Cons: Fuel economy.
Advice: Be a tough test driver--really push it. (You'll either love it or not).
Without a doubt, this is a blast to drive. The engineers did an exceptional job designing a vehicle that combines sportiness with some degree of utility. -
2005 Acura MDX - Base
Pros: Engine performance, 7 seats
Cons: comfort
Advice: Do not buy this car! learn from my mistake.
A very bumpy car, very plain seats especial in rear that makes bumpy car to bumpier. Driving around the block it is Ok and even fun, long drive on the freeway 70mph or more - HELL. I am thinking to add seat cushion that probably will look ugly - what a shame for a brand like Acura Engine performance is very good. My advice - before you buy this car - test drive it on the freeway! Conclusion, For the most of us car it is not just a box, engine and wheels and that's I feel what I bought - big disappointment. -
2003 Acura MDX - w/Touring/Navigation
Pros: Ride and handling
Cons: Somewhat feeble 4 wheel drive system. 4 wheel lock is useless above 18 mph
Advice: Compare carefully if this if you do a lot of snow country driving
Sorry Acura, but the 4 wheel drive system is somewhat anemic compared to other comparable vehicles. Think twice if you do a lot of winter driving. I found that the autotrac system is slow to respond and does not give the driver a sense of confidence that conventional 4wheel drive systems have. I enjoy the reliability and handling and comfort of city driving, but if you head for the hills or live in snow country this might not be your first choice. One last beef is the relatively poor gas mileage for an 'efficient' 6 cylinder. -
2005 Acura MDX - w/Touring/RES/Navigation
Pros: Idiot proof navigation system, bluetooth capability, backup camera, engine, bose system
Cons: occasional niggling sound from the back
Advice: test drive this vehicle and seriously consider if looking for a good quality/value SUV
Very comfortable vehicle to be in. Great visibility but gives passengers feeling of relative isolation due to big interior and good sound insulation. Engine never lacks for power, very responsive and unhesitating even on steep grades which makes this SUV drive better than some sedans. I would have given better quality score except for an occasional high pitched niggling sound coming from probably a seatbelt assembly in the back. Feels very stable on the road, good night illumination from headlights/foglamps. Excellent list of standard safety features that include side and head curtain airbags in case of side impact or rollover. Appearance shows its age but look is classic IMHO and looks better than more recent SUV's on the road. Overall, a quality buy. -
2003 Acura MDX - Base
Pros: overall excellence
Cons: Gas Mileage... city says 17 but I get 12-15 constantly
Advice: don't believe the gas mileage sticker
Drives very well, very versatile love the 7 seating, which was unique in 2003 After 2.5 years I love the car and hate the gas mileage. Want to trade it in but its lost almost half the value already beware
