Used 2005 Acura MDX Consumer Reviews
Large amount of storage space and good engine.
The 2005 Acura MDX is an overall good SUV. The seven-seater with a back row of three has plenty space. The back row folds down easily and provides good space for when extra storage is needed. One downside to the seating is the actual seat. The seats tend to be uncomfy during longer rides than similar SUVs. The acceleration is decent for the age of the vehicle. The average gas mileage is around 200 miles. Problems for long-term use are the sunroof can leak.

Don't let them fool you this is a truck!
I have had many Acura's even a new NSX, an RL etc. and this car is a disappointment overall and after one year I am looking to trade it for something different. Here are my complaints- 1) NOISY on the road-- wind noise from the rearview mirrors, tire noise that is mindnumbing after 30 miles 2) a sloshing noise from the fuel tank which is insulting for a car over $40,000 -- unforgiveable 3) Some sort of noise from the brakes after you back up-- dealer says they have to reset or some story 4) XM radio cannot be scrolled through the stations numerically with the station titles displaying quickly- it takes seconds for the station title to display. 5) Voice activated is a joke-- hardly works-

Very satisfied with our choice
We looked at the usual suspects in this category. Ultimately, we went with the MDX as the best overall combination of drive quality, convenience and comfort - it's a great car.
Rides like a go-cart
When I first purchased by Acura, I loved it. But after the first year and several miles later the suspension is terrible. It bounces like a go-cart and the brakes are pretty scary too. I believe that it is the front wheel drive that causes the problem with this SUV. The dealer tells me that I have to come in and spend $600 to reset the suspension to the original factory specs, this must be a recurring problem with this vehicle. The air conditioner also makes a loud rattling sound.
