Used 2004 Acura MDX AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Mildly disappointed, horrible mileage
I had expected a positive experience in the switch from my Volvo V70 to the MDX. The MDX still had its share of initial defects, from a poorly fitting & hard to close rear hatch to missing hardware on the front center consol box. The mileage is atrocious. I'm getting 11.9 all-around mileage against an advertised 18-22. It must be a larger issue, because someone stopped my wife in a parking lot the other day to ask how bad her mileage was (he had the same problem). In retrospect, I'd take the Volvo Cross-Country over the MDX any day, if only my 3 kids under 6 and their friends fit in one!
Acura Review
Overall handling/comfort is great. Rear (3rd row) seat is more for kids or cargo and not made for adults. Highway accelaration noise is a bit excessive and annoying, just boost up the dynamite sound system to drown it out.

My analysis after 2 weeks.
Got my 04 MDX about 2 weeks ago. I am getting about 20.5 mpg (mostly highway, some local) on average so far. I am happy with this average as my 96 TL was giving only about 2 miles more. I have no sloshing issue, however the 2K RPM humming sound is there. However, I have learnt to ignore it, and doesn't bother me too much. Other than that really loving the drive! Would have loved Acura to place some light over the coin tray!
My Acura MDX 2004
Having search for many months for a SUV, I decided on the MDX, the price was right, 1st and formost, the vehicle was what I wanted, the performance was great, the safety features where excellent, this SUV is great.
Satisfied on Cape Cod
Very pleased with purchase of Acura MDX. Decided to trade-in a 4 door BMW due to lifestyle (18 month old)and am very happy I did so. She is so much happier now that she can see everything when we drive. Of course, love the spaciousness, esp. of the back when shopping. Truly enjoy the ride, the interior design and all the features. Test drove many SUV's before we bought and have no second thoughts on purchase.Almost bought a Honda Pilot, but felt for a few more dollars, the MDX gave you alot more. Other SUV's (X5, Toureg, Land Rover) much more overpriced for what you get.
