7 passenger luxury sport utility vehicle

Cons

Fuel economy, but it's an SUV. High maintenance. Uses premium fuel.

Family Vehicle — We bought this vehicle used in 2011. It had around 48,000 miles on it. We have had to get numerous things fixed on it, which are the following: right rear door lock actuator, drive belt, rear shocks, one rubber muffler hoist, one heated seat light switch lamp, and an oxygen sensor. We didn't have a warranty since it was expired, so we had to pay out of pocket, but other than that, this vehicle has not stopped working and has gotten us from A to B every time. The key, as with anything: if you hear, see, or smell a problem, investigate and fix it yourself or get it fixed so the problem will not escalate into a bigger situation. We also drove this SUV to the Grand Canyon and other cities in Arizona, Sante Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico, Alabama to EL Paso, Texas 2 times, and Alabama to New York and back without any major problems, just a light on the dashboard saying routine maintenance due. Recently there was a recall on the ignition switch, so it was replaced for free by the dealership.

Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde — Its bright and shiny on the outside and completely unreliable on the inside. The transmission failed at 68000 miles and and it burns too much fuel... We use this car as our primary family vehicle - nothing strenuous or abusive. I am not sure I will buy another Acura again.... Thanks Ivan

Ride In Style — Great Ride...lots of gadgets..could do better with a little more power....bose music system ROCKS. Maintenance is quite expensive, looking at approx $1000 for major 10000miles service..with minor works. Overall its worth every penny.. Acura is the Best

Love The Acura Mdx! — Great family SUV, tons of goodies. Luxury without paying an arm and a leg! Gas mileage was just OK, but apart from that this is a great vehicle for our family - tons of "utility." Loved the DVD player to keep the kiddos occupied.

Great Car — I love how it handles and drives especially in the snow. Third row seat is great. Mpg is not bad at all. Road noise is better than Lexus. Only bad thing was my DVD went bad and I had to replace it
