After 25,000 miles on my '08 MDX Sport/Ent I though posting my opinion on this vehicle would be on interest to some. Overall, the '08 MDX gets a "A" but there are issues. 1. The dealership service experience is bad. I give it a "C-". When I took delivery the dealer scratched the roof when installing the roof rails. They nicked the window glass as well. Plus, they did a poor job of installing the sport boards. When I called them and spoke to all the managers they refused to do anything. They considered the nicked glass and scratches "minor" but offered me rubber mats and cargo tray for my trouble. When getting regular service I tried another Acura dealership. They replaced some trim under warranty and did basic service work (oil change, tire rotation, all wheel drive fluid, etc.) The service work at this OTHER dealership was poor as well. I had to finish installing the trim pieces (just snapped them in) myself as the tech did a poor job. Now, I avoid all Acura dealerships as the work is both expensive and poor. I stick with Honda and my local independent mechanic (the cost is HALF and better quality). 2. Interior materials/trim- "B-" The trim could be better put together especially around the NAV. Screen area. Lexus is definitely superior in this area. 3. Handling- "A" 4. Tranny- "B" it could use better gearing both at the low end and the top end for mileage. Hopefully the new 6 speed tranny in the 2010 model will address these concerns. 5. Engine- "A" Wish it got better highway mileage 6. Reliability- "A" I have spent $300 total on service and have 25,000 miles 7. Seats- BEST driver's seat I have ever owned. "A" 8. Electronics- "B" I have had issues with the side view mirror not coming back up after placing the vehicle in reverse. Plus, my steering wheel has a gremlin which causes it to not return to the programmed setting 5% of the time. Of Course, the dealership can never find the problem so I just turned this feature off. 9. Ride- "A" It is a great blend between luxury and sport. I have the Sport model and highly recommend it to those seeking a sporty vehicle. 10. Steering wheel remains slightly off center to the left by 3 degrees despite paying for an alignment. I plan on trying an Independent shop as Acura dealership service is less than stellar. Overall- "A" May purchase another one in 3-6 months as my wife wants the '08. But, HATE the dealership experience particularly the SERVICE department. |

FWIW: Just purchased a new 09 MDX Tech in Virginia for just under $41000, got it out the door for $41,100 which included wheel locks.
