I just came out of an Audi A-8 yet needed a SUV. I normally would not even consider a MDX however my wife bought an Acura RL in April and loved the car; the quality and ride was excellent so I elected to look at the MDX. The ride is excellent and the finish is terrific. I felt the interior was nicer than the Q7. The sound system in the vehicle (with the Tech package) is exceptional and better then in my previous Audi, Jaguar and Lexus. I love driving it!

Best car I've ever owned

We bought our 2009 MDX base model new and I have enjoyed driving it for the last 9 years! We take it in for regular maintenance, replace the tires when they need to be replaced and generally take good care of it. We have roughly 122,000 miles on it and it's still going strong. We plan to let my daughter drive it once she has her license and we feel great about it's safety on the road. We live in Maine and have lots of snow and ice-- the car handles well in difficult conditions the standard all weather tires work beautifully. I may well buy another one when I hand over the keys to this one-- or transition to the RDX since I don't have to drive as many kids around anymore! Love this car! Great family vehicle! Very comfortable front seats (I have a back condition and this is very important to me).

Had this suv almost 3 months now. Bought it used with 113,000 miles on it. Luv the car but now seems to be having some technical issues. When driving it sounds like someone is hitting the unlock button for the doors. Got in it this morning and my windows wouldn’t roll down and the sunroof wouldn’t work. After a few mins everything started working again, but same problem when I got back in the car after stopping. Overall a great car for myself having 4 girls.

Best SUV I've ever driven and owned. Take a test drive and see for yourself. Bought it used with noisy directional tread tires, replaced them with Acura OEM tires ... wow, what a difference.

Generally I buy cars based on my trust in a company. I've owned a total of 6 Honda products (including Acura - TL), and all of them have been outstanding. This vehicle is a big disappointment!!! Where do I begin? I buy Honda products (and Japanese vehicles in general) for their bulletproof reliability, but I've had numerous problems with this MDX - been to dealer 6 times! Electrical issues, and a Transmission issue, and some others....and the power/acceleration is very mediocre (300hp?? Yeah, right!), and the ENGINE is VERY NOISY and unrefined when accelerating!!! Shocking for a luxury vehicle. Terrible leather! Sound system, Nav and handling are the only good attributes of this vehicle.
