2007 Acura MDX - I love my Acura!
The first time I drove my Acura MDX I felt like I was driving a luxury vehicle. I had just sold my Mercedes SUV and was worried I wasn't going to find another SUV that drove so smoothly. I had shopped Fords, Chevys, and Hondas, all to no avail. However, a newer Acura MDX had just hit a car lot so I decided to take it for a spin. Within three miles I knew I wanted this vehicle. The inside was roomy, with plenty of space and I didn't feel cramped like I had in the other vehicles. In addition, there was very little noise in the cabin and it felt like I was driving on a marshmallow - very comfortable. I knew that Acuras were safe, but I wasn't sure how it would do in the snow and ice that I drive in every winter. Being an all wheel drive (AWD) I was willing to give it a shot. Five... (more)

Five years later I can safely say this car is worth every penny we spent. It does phenomenally in winter driving conditions and never budged, even on the worst of days. I love the safety features and its sleek design. Although my vehicle is now almost ten years old, there are new models coming out that almost exactly mimic the MDX body type. I feel like I still drive a stylish vehicle.
Although my car drives like a luxury vehicle, it can get out of sticky situations as well. I accidentally drove it into about a foot of sticky, cold mud, and was able to get out no problem, while some four wheel drive vehicles got stuck!

My favorite features of this vehicle are the high safety ratings, excellent AWD system, roomy interior, and sixth row seating.

I only have one negative thing to say about this car, which is I wish it got better gas mileage. I get about 17 mpg with highway driving.

2007 Acura MDX - Best vehicle I've ever driven
I definitely liked the way the car hugged the road. I felt very secure while driving my car and never feared for my safety. Additionally, it had a great sound system. The seats were incredibly comfortable, and I just cannot say enough positive things about the seat warmers. On a cold Connecticut morning, I can always count on the seat warmers to stop my goosebumps and shivering. Additionally, I liked how roomy the car was and how I was able to fit all three of my very large children in the backseat. The engine was a bit noisy for my liking. However, it got terrible gas mileage. I felt like I was constantly spending money on gas especially with my long commute to work each day. The trunk was a bit small for all of the things I would get at Home Depot for home repair, and I would have to... (more)

The trunk was a bit small for all of the things I would get at Home Depot for home repair, and I would have to greatly maneuver everything around to get certain cuts of wood and appliances to fit.
I drove this car from Connecticut to California and back with no problem whatsoever.

First of all, this car never broke down. I kept it for a solid eight years and drove it up and down the west coast regularly as well as took a cross country journey in it. Not once did I need to change the oil or get a repair. In fact, I didn't visit a mechanic once in eight years. The sun roof was truly incredible, and I could see all of the stars (including the big dipper) while I drove.

The seatbelt dug into my neck because it was an awkward size. My large children barely fit in the seatbelt and while they are overweight, they're certainly not big enough that they should need a specialty seatbelt.
