The 2009 Acura MDX, a carryover, sees very few changes from 2008. This full-size luxury SUV seats up to seven people and offers three options packages: Technology, Sport and Entertainment. Equipped with a 3.7-liter V6 engine, the all-wheel-drive MDX maxes out at 300 hp with a five-speed automatic transmission. The EPA estimates gas mileage at 15/20/17 (city/highway/combined), and the MDX takes premium-grade fuel.

The MDX clearly aims at comfort and luxury, coming with standard dual-level heated front seats, leather upholstery, a moonroof, and a Bluetooth interface. The Technology package adds further amenities such as a voice-recognition navigation system, a rearview camera, and an improved sound system. The Sport package includes the Technology package and adds an adjustable sport suspension and xenon headlights. User reviews have shown the standard suspension to be quite adequate, and the sport suspension's added cornering performance also offers a more rigid overall ride. The Entertainment package is available in conjunction with both of the other packages, and adds a rear DVD entertainment system, heated second-row seats, and a power liftgate.

Safety features for the MDX include dual-stage front airbags, side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, antilock brakes, and traction control. The middle row of seats split-folds in 50/50 proportions, and the rear seats are 60/40.

AI Summary · 5 reviews

"Overall, drivers have mixed feelings about the 2009 Acura MDX. Many love its smooth drive, spacious interior, and great features, especially for families. However, some have pointed out issues with interior leaks, steering problems, and rear visibility. The vehicle is appreciated for its power and decent gas mileage, but opinions vary on whether it's worth the price for a car of its age."

It's been a parade of problems:interior leaks, creaking steering wheel, front end alignment issues, steering very heavy and stiff- Head restraints angle too far forward pushing your head and chin down towards your chest. AM radio reception very poor. Poor rear window visability.All this on a car with less than 800 miles.

This car is loaded with desirable features from naivation to DVD players in the back to rear-view cameras. It drives really well for an SUV. With 300 HP, it produces a decent amount of power but could be better. It feels safe when driving it and maintenance costs are surprisingly affordable. This is a car that you can rely on to drive everyday without having to give up any of the niceties it has for practicality.
