Acura has a long standing reputation for quality vehicles. This is what attracted me to their brand. I think most Acuras on the road are nice cars. After purchasing my car (2003 MDX) the transmission blew in a month. It was completely burned, and the dealership (not the one I bought from) told me thousands of 2003 MDX's have had trouble with their transmissions. I have also had numerous other cosmetic and mechanical problems with this car. It's a lemon. However, I would buy an Acura again because I know they are still a nice brand of car.
