2001 Acura MDX Touring review from North America
"Aside from the tranny problems, as close to perfect as you are likely to find for under $50,000"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission shifting slow from 2nd to 3rd.
General comments?
Aside from the transmission, this is a terrific SUV. Not quite as powerful as the VW Toureg I was looking at, but more versatile with the 3rd seat, more comfortable, and better looking. Also, the mileage is much better and there is no need for premium gas as in the VW. My last SUV was a Suburban K2500, with the 454 engine and a 42 gallon tank. I could pull into a gas station and say "Just give me $100 worth, I'm in a hurry".
