Purchased in '02 with 11k on it. Grey market but was able to have maintained through local dealership. Previously had 3 Cherokees over 8 years. Best upgrade ever. More room, comfort, visibility than the jeep. I found the seats especially comfortable since I had a bad back. Good handling in wet weather or snow, but would not want to take it offroad. Has carried my family for 155K and convinced me that my next car will be the same one (not the newer smaller version). No reliability issues, predictable maintenance.
Based on 90,000 miles, and 6 years of

ownership, I can honestly say I'd buy the car all over again, in a heartbeat. Pluses are comfort, still class-leading navigation system, interior room, and build quality. Mine has always been dealer-serviced, which hasn't been particularly cheap. Transmission went kaput at 90,000 miles, and I neither tow, carry loads nor abuse the transmission in any way. Would have been more disappointing, but Honda Motors - which apparently knows they have problems with this transmission, paid for half the cost of replacement. Abundant wind and road noise and unimpressive gas mileage (about 18 mpg combined)are about the only drawbacks. And you'd better have a wide garage door to fit it in.

The MDX rides pretty smoothly. Also has decent pickup. I think the handling is decent. Purposely drove it at a high rate of speed to test braking and maneuverability. Although lane change is not as smooth as in a car. It is a lot smoother than most other trucks I have driven.(Rx300,Chevy Blazer, Pathfinder and a Passport) Of course I don't recommend anyone trying this. One complaint. I was told that on hills the MDX had some sort of mechanism to help stop roll back. I was on a (not so) steep hill earlier and I happen to take my foot of the brake. Immediately the truck began to roll backwards down the hill. SO much for that anti roll back feature.

This is a vehicle for someone who cares about the quality (and by quality I mean the Consumer Reports, the reliability, the high resale, the inexspensive replacement parts, the excellent highway safety reviews) of a vehicle and not the logo on the hood. If you want to impress the Joneses, buy a BMW or a Mercedes, but if you want a car that's leaps-and-bounds above those names, get this one.

Purchased used from a dealer with app 40k miles on it. Was great for a couple of years and then at 95k, I had to have the transmission replaced. Acura did replace because of recall and I only paid a $400 labor charge. Very disappointed that now at 145k miles I am hearing the same noise and know it is again the transmission. I will never by another Honda or Acura. I have owned Toyotas previously and never had any major problems. Going back to Toyota but in the meantime I feel stuck with this car. Can't sell it with a faulty transmission and do not want to pay for new one.
