Have had the car for a month and overall quite happy with it. It is the best value for the money in this size/category. The tech pkg has tons of features, though some are more gimmicky than useful. Not crazy about the exterior, but interior is roomy and comfortable. Cargo area is smaller than I'd like. Performance is ok. The engine lacks torque and has to rev hard for power (while making a lot of noise). Coming from a European SUV, I feel the suspension is too soft and steering is way too loose. The torque vectoring is a bit unpredictable when cornering. Road noise is surprisingly high. The car had a couple of small issues upon delivery, which is disappointing for a Honda product.
Great vehicle for the price

Update June 2022 - I still have this vehicle, and no issues to report. Now at about 170k km. Drives nicely, I added a trailer hitch which has come in handy a few times now. $40 uhaul rental for a cargo or utility trailer is very convenient. The fuel mileage isn't superb especially considering the price of gas at $2.00 + for premium per litre, but you do get a good powerful V6 with 5000lbs towing capacity. Hello, I purchased the 2010 MDX in June 2020. So far its a great SUV, lots of room, third row, seats fold flat, lots of tech goodies, sound system is really good. AWD seems to be more of a standard item with SUV's so I am glad the MDX is equipped with it. The middle row seats are surprisingly comfortable, if you haven't sat in them - try it out. We all accept that the third row seats are small - good for kiddos, not too much else. I like that the A/C system is linked in with the Nav so it knows when a passenger has the sun on them and will cool their side down more...neat feature. Cons - As others have mentioned, not well insulated from highway noise, fuel mileage is so so (but it has decent power for the 3.7 v6). Timing belt will need to be replaced every 100K km's which does not appear to be a major job. The back quarter panel by the rear wheels seem to be somewhat prone to rust, take care of yours if it has avoided corrosion so far. Headlights have the same issues as all plastic headlights nowadays - they oxidize over time (can polish or wet sand out, just remember to use a good sealer after the job). Also, I am 6'1 and notice that it's quite a step out of the vehicle from a seated position, it's not a problem for me, but shorter folks may see this as a bit of an issue. All in all the vehicle seems to be well made and relatively easy to maintain. I hope it's a keeper!! Update - 19 Dec 2020: Still a great vehicle, the only issue was with the spare tire hoist mechanism. When I added a trailer hitch, I discovered the problem, part was about $170 at the dealer, very easy to install. Very pleased with the amount of power the vehicle has, but again the fuel mileage is not superb. Put 10k km on since the last review and have had no other issues.

Not Impressed

Replaced a Volvo XC90 with the MDX in 2010. We were sold mostly on interior space, price (model year end) and perceived reliability. Two years later, I have to say I'm not impressed. The car is just a chore to drive. The engine has very little low end torque. The ride is busy and floaty at the same time. The steering is loose and vague on center. A lot of road noise makes it into the cabin. And the transmission has slow and sloppy shifts, even after the software upgrade. After reading the horror stories about failed torque converters, now I'm really worried. Since it's the new 6-speed, I had thought Honda had fixed their transmission issues. I guess I was wrong!
Acura MDX provides excellent/reliable performance

I read about how good the MDX was and switched from an Escalade to the MDX. It has been a completely reliable vehicle without a single visit to the dealer for problems. My car looks the same as when I first drove it home. The interior and exterior have held up perfectly. The car drives the same as when I first purchased it. It is roomy and when I need to bring a large load home, it does a good job. The car drives well on ice or snow. It has always been very comfortable and reliable. I would strongly recommend this car.

I drove the X5 and the MDX. The MDX won because of the extra's, its quiet, fast and I love the gadgets. Everything for me is in its right place. BMW interior mechanics is too complicated and take your attention away from the road to use.
