Used 2002 Acura MDX Consumer Reviews
update 2002
much improved in noise reduction(I can tell the difference since I had owned a 2001 MDX before I traded it in for 2002 model) well, still not perfect, wish it may enlarge the trunk space particularly after 3rd row seat up.
LOVE MY MDX
I was in the market for a SUV and had read positive reviews on the MDX from leading car magazines and it was name as a Best Buy in Consumer Reports Magazine as well. It drives like a car build has the room of an SUV and handles great in the snow! It also has comes very nicely equipped for a a base model so much so I didn't see the need to spend an extra $2500.00 on the touring package!

Worth the wait!
As my "alias" implies I drive a Suburban, while I traded my wife's '98 Discovery in for the new MDX. Although we waited for five months, the vehicle was worth it. It's road mannerisms are more car-like than an SUV but can accommodate more than four people (15 total when adding the Suburban's capacity). All joking aside, as a parent, I am increasingly discouraged by sedan manufactures turning rear seats into "buckets" reducing their effective capacity by one.
Feeling Great After 9 Months
I love the MDX after 9 months. Honda's magic 3rd row seat is still the best. For daily routine, the ride is just smooth as silk. The computerized 4 wheel drive control is wonderful. Glad to be in this car when it is water all over the place. Honda's quality and drive. we just love it.. for that full price, we could not get a BMW with 7 seats (which they still don't have) and navigation, or Mercedez with the comfort of driving and convenience of 3rd row seat. MDX accelerates nicely with 24HP. I hardly use the gear shift beyond 4th and 5th. I got used to the size and huge inside space. It is a great ride with useful features for home.
Still a winner
Car delivers as promised. There's a reason why it continued to win editors choice awards after 3 years. Interior design is good, could be a bit more luxurious. Gas mileage excellent under 70 MPH (23.5 MPG highway on my last trip - awesome for a mid-sized suv!). Minor build quality issues; back of drivers seat broke off, cup holder latch needed to be replaced. Like that they used to be rare on the road
