The 5 speed automatic transmission with manual control adds to the sporty feeling to MDX. Hence the SUV is said to be the most fun to drive, most comfortable and good looking car in Acura’s range.

The performance of Acura has always been sporty and therefore praiseworthy and this time it’s even more capable and refined. The MDX has worked on its headlamps, the larger wheels and therefore has an even funkier look. But the Acura’s shield like grille isn’t great to look at.

The interior is even more impressive, stylish and comfortable with thicker steering wheel, LED lights, but the dashboard controls are not good. From safety point of view, MDX was named the top safety pick in 2009 by Insurance Institute of Highway Safety and that says it all.

The EPA ratings are 16 mpg for city and 21 mpg for highway. Hence performance – 4.5/5, exterior – 4/5, interior – 4.5/5

The things which go against MDX are cramped third row which is suitable for children only; the edgy exterior is off putting. The MDX is too pricey for its features. Hence, keeping aside its catchy features the MDX boosts of much superior handling and body control in its category and has driving dynamics on par with top competitors. Overall rating is 4.5/5.
