Used 2004 Acura MDX AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Perfect, but no Hybrid
We're had our Premium model for almost a year, and we've thoroughly enjoyed it to date. No problems, as you'd expect from a Honda product, excellent comfort and room, and decent power. Fuel economy never has been above 19 mpg, however, despite highway only jaunts. Admittedly, these have been at high speeds (75-80 mph), at which drag would be substantial for a vehicle this size. If we wanted maximum fuel economy, we'd have gotten a Jetta diesel with a trailer for our stuff. For our needs, the MDX has been perfect
Never Better
The MDX has very good gas mileage for the type of SUV.It's very practical and nice. Its as comfortable as any other car. I love it. The car could use a better bumper for door dings, though.

I LOVE this car!
After driving a Ford Explorer for 6 years, I think I died and went to heaven once we purchased the MDX! A smooth, comfortable ride, good gas mileage for its size and plenty of room. Great power, a fun car to drive and own. I highly recommend over the Volvo, you won't regret this purchase! If you are considering the Pilot try spurging on the MDX; a much more luxurious, better riding SUV.
Don't buy
This vehicle has been the most unreliable vehicle I have ever owned. In the last 5 months, I have spent over a $1000 on the transmission (torque converter and another switch) and another $700 on the power steering (a loud whine). Both of these problems have numerous complaints against them, but Acura won't do anything since it's not under warranty. There are service bulletins out for these issues, but Acura won't do anything until forced to by a recall.
LOVE MY ACURA
I HAVE ONLY OWNED MY MDX FOR 2 WEEKS AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO DRIVE IT. IT MAKES MY TRIP TO WORK AND BACK SOMETHING I LOOK FORWARD TO. NOT TO IMPRESSED WITH THE GAS MILEAGE BUT LETS REMEMBER IT IS AN LUXURY SUV. I PAID 2500 UNDER MSRP AND WAS VERY HAPPY TO HAVE MADE THIS DEAL.
