Couldn't be happier. This vehicle has been a joy to own and drive. Its flexibilty is wonderful. I have not had single problem with this SUV. I had a Land Rover previously and had numerous issues with that vehicle.

This vehicle has it all. While it is technically a SUV, it handles and is as comfortable as a car. I call it the perfect vehicle because it suits all. It seats 7 very comfortably without being too big, it has plenty of power with excellent gas mileage. Plus, it is an Acura which will have excellent reliability and resale.

Overall great SUV

There are three small details I've had with my MDX. 1.- Wind whistles into the cabin at high speeds 2.- Driver's seat is not very good for long roadtrips. 3.- A/C fan switch is not easy to use. The only other comment is about its towing capacity. I purchased the towing package (which by the way, all accs. are very expensive) and can only tow about 3,000#. If you plan to tow a small boat, or anything else, look for something else. Off-road is so-so. It VTM-Lock allows for front wheel slip while not really locking the back tires. If you dont toe and dont off-road, this is the best SUV you can buy

Excellent vehicle for city drivers who need a large car. Runs smoothly and has huge carrying capacity. It is not a good 4x4. My previous car, a jeep grand cherokee, was far superior off- road. The Acura transmission overheated on one trip (luckily it has a light on the dash that warns you). On another the power steering failed (luckily the new steering rack was under warranty). The huge coil spring on one of the wheels even broke going over a regular pothole. It is rather delicate, not rugged. But if you keep it on paved roads you will enjoy the smooth ride, quiet engine, easy to use rear seats and cargo room.
