If you are concerned about MPG, don't even think about it.  We had a Honda Pilot before this one and with the Pilot, we got a decent MPG so we didn't think too much about MPG when getting this one.  Let's me tell you.  This will give you 12 MPG in the city.  The best highway MPG I got was 20 MPG.  My wife drives this mostly around town so guess which MPG we are getting?  Other than MPG, it's a nice SUV.  It seats 7 but it's not a monster like Navigators or Suburbans.  It's nicely equipped (We got the MDX with the Tech Package) with Nav, XM, 10 speaker 410 Watt 6 DVD in-dash changer, leather and moonroof.  It's got the SH-AWD and it really works pretty well.  The car drives the outside wheels faster when going around the corners and it really tightens the driving line noticeably.  It's got 300HP 3.7 V-6 which moves the SUV swiftly.  It's a great people mover with good pricing.  The comparable competitors from Germany and Japan costs a lot more than this one with less options.  

Pros — Good acceleration
Great handling (for an SUV)
Luxury features abound
Good looking inside and out
Great stereo system
Lots of buttons
Dealer provides  free loaners when getting serviced
Cons — Terrible MPG
Engine sounds raspy when accelerating
2nd row cannot be adjusted forwards and backwards
Expensive dealer service $$$$

I've been in one. It's pretty nice inside, has a nice sound when you accelerate. It's also pretty spacious and luxurious.

nice rear. good handling. amazing acceleration. not very reliable. has had a few loose screws floating around causing problems. but nothing i couldn't handle with a good tune up. this is the best its gets. anything after is garbage. i can expect future busts.  

Pros — the way it made me feel
Cons — knowing every make after it would be garbage. stay away from this brand
