Reviews of the 2008 Acura MDX
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2008 Acura MDX can be outfitted with a full plate of tech goodies, including a 10-speaker ELS surround-sound audio system, second-row DVD-entertainment package, and voice-controlled navigation and cell phone access. Electronically controlled all-wheel drive and active damping combine for confident handling.
The Bad: While the requisite cabin tech is present and functional, its presentation is now a generation old and the interior ergonomics could also use a freshening.
The Bottom Line: Still among the best all-around seven-passenger luxury SUVs, the 2008 Acura MDX never disappoints (except perhaps in its looks), but is due for some cabin tech updates and a little more power to match its handling.
