Car Forum / Acura Cars / April 2005'05 MDX???
I'm considering a lease on a new '05 MDX. Anyone have any opinions on this car or other vehicles in it's class? What should I be paying for it in the NY/NJ area? Thanks in advance for any input. John. > I'm considering a lease on a new '05 MDX. > Anyone have any opinions on this car or other vehicles in it's class?

You may have heard that this vehicle doesn't really excel at anything, but it's not deficient at anything either, and that is pretty much true. I've drive other SUVs that steer more precisely, just about all of them brake better, others have better off-road capablility, others ride better, but all those also suffered other drawbacks you won't find in the Honda/Acura line. For specific complaints, I do hate the gear selector, but I think it's different in the Acura. Leather seats on the Pilot are holding up so far, but they aren't in my '02 Acura or any other Honda/Acura I've owned. They will crack no matter what, but keeping them treated helps delay the inevitable. You may want to look at the Pilot before jumping into an MDX. They're the same vehicle and Acura charges several thousand more for a different body style. You'll have to decide if it's worth the extra $$$. >You may want to look at the Pilot before jumping into an MDX.

SignatureI'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. MDX comes with more air bags as standard. They protect you from every where in side the car. > > I'm considering a lease on a new '05 MDX. > > Anyone have any opinions on this car or other vehicles in it's class?
