Key strengths: All the tech toys
Areas for improvement: Minor break noise
I am very pleased with my purchase, and the performance, and value of this Acura MDX. I would buy another in a second.
The Navigation system is great, well worth the extra cost. You can purchase the DVD based upgrade and install it yourself. The Navigation system also includes a back-up camera. I found this quite useful in parallel parking.
6 hour trips are easy for my family. Often my son hooks up his Game Cube and plays games while I am driving. Now I never hear "Are we there yet?".
I have a minor brake noise, like others have talked about. But this occurs only after the car sits for the night. Then 1st thing in the morning I hear the noise backing out. Strange...yes, but I can live with it until my MDX is due for it's next service. The running costs for Acura MDX 3.5 V6 Automatic are normal
