Review
Test drove everything over a three month period. Decided on the MDX because of its styling, handling, and technology. Nothing else in the segment came close. Now that I own it, I enjoy this vehicle far more than I ever imagined possible. I knew it was a great SUV, but the package in total, leaves you shaking your head at times. It is a precise vehicle, inside and out. Fit and finish is exceptional. Performance receives an A++ for a seven passenger vehicle, and it makes you want to drive the long way home everyday. The luxury, entertainment, and technology features lead you to believe you are already "home"! I recommend the Acura MDX Sports and Entertainment edition w/out hesitation!
Favorite Features
Styling, SH-AWD, seats, and technology.
Suggested Improvements
For $50,000 I would like to see the optional 19 inch wheels as standard equipment. iPod input jack should probably be up front in the dash, rather than in the rear floor console.

Review
The sales consultant showed me a competitive comparison of the MDX vs GX470, X5, XC90, etc. It said the MDX was #1 and I didn't believe it so I went and drove all the competitors and I admit I was wrong. The MDX is the best out there. Perfect blend of luxury, power safety and reliability. No buyers remorse here.
Favorite Features
Voice command nav and safety features, SH AWD
Suggested Improvements
Could be a bit quieter.

Review
All in all I expected much more in the power area and the sound system was a real let down and I have wind noise on driver side and the ride could be nicer I feel all the bumps one the road , right up into the steering wheel. But I have to admit it's beautiful looking. oh ya premium fuel so gas cost are terrible. It does not live up to the reviews it gets (my opinion).
Favorite Features
Looks, exterior and interior, and 3 area a/c, suspension control
Suggested Improvements
Soften the ride, wind noise, fix sound system, give it more power and fix the terrible fuel cost/mpg.

Review
I've bought at least 10 cars over my life and always been 100% satisfied. For the first time I feel I made a huge mistake. I've got 1500 miles on a new MDX and I've decided to get rid of the damned thing. Engine noise reminds me of a 4 cylinder Camry, the transmission is jerky, particularly when downshifting - take your foot off the gas at 60 and the engine immediately starts dragging you down, almost like no overdrive. The front seats are exhausting if you sit in them over an hour. And the steering is way too stiff and the indentations on the wheel are spaced too far apart. I took at least 4 or 5 test drives and for the life of me I don't know how I missed these details.
Favorite Features
At this point, none.

The MDX is simply the Best Crossover

Review
Simply the best crossover on the road. I drove the X5, the Mercedes, Infiniti FX and none could compare the right blend of comfort, fun, performance, handling. Not sure how anyone could even compare the Mazda CX9 to this vehicle. You can never go wrong with the MDX
Favorite Features
Handling, ride, Handsfree link, navigation system, stereo system (nothing compares).
Suggested Improvements
Gas mileage, but who cares.
