Review

Great first SUV; great interior; perfect size engine; awesome off-road, little wobbly at highway speeds though; loves to drink gas, but big tank; phenomenal cargo space; never got the chance to use the heated seats, but of course a good feature; wood grain looked a bit fake, but nice touch for a rebadged Trooper; those rear doors are the best design EVER; primo stereo; love the foot room in the back and front, as well as the ride height; seemed to be a decent amount of undercarriage rust, but I suppose to be expected from an older truck; rear drive horrid on ice as I learned from experience; lost my SLX to a winter-related accident, the thing saved my life! This beast is as safe as a tank!

Favorite Features

HUGE sunroof; electric folding mirrors; height-adjustable seats; visibility; roar of engine start-up; power transmission mode for highway passing; being able to see over everything on the road.

Suggested Improvements

Needs more cubbies in front for storage; bigger, yet more refined engine for better gas mileage and power; little more precise steering; shock-resistant CD player; in-dash CD changer would be nice too for an Acura; tuck undercarriage parts a little better (differential); make more! I miss mine!

Review

Great vehicle, rugged, and comfortable. Great on long trips. Great in snow, and off road. Excellent fit and finish. I purchased this with 18k miles and now have 64k, with no problems. I like it better than the MDX. I drive my vehicles at least 150k and feel this one will make it with no problem. Still very tight, and wearing well.

Favorite Features

Excellent visability, great cargo space and well put together. I really like driving it.

Suggested Improvements

They start making them again. I know it is a re badged Trooper, and it,s a shame they stopped making the Trooper.

Review

The SLX is a true off road vehicle with ample cargo space. I've used it for hunting and for launching a boat from an unimproved ramp (beach). Visability is excellent. We've used it for family vacations and it will cruise all day at 75+. In spite of it's square shape is not adversely affected by cross winds.

Favorite Features

Ample cargo space and go anywhere ability.

Suggested Improvements

Has the power of a V8 and the gas milegage to go with it.

Review

Family likes the visibility and cargo space this vehicle offers. Center console can be a challange due to controls being too accessable to accidental engagement. Otherwise we like it.

Favorite Features

Great visibility and cargo space.

Suggested Improvements

Center console controls (mirrors and seat warmers) need to be relocated as the are accidentally engaged too often.

It's a great SUV when you consider the marketplace. It's roomy, drives smooth, and able to go off road with no problem. It's a great value.

Favorite Features

Sunroof is huge!, very easy to take offroad, able to carry 2 mountain bikes inside; comfortable to drive

Suggested Improvements

I wish it came with a trailer hitch.
