After washing my dark mahogany, Touring edition
MDX, I simply use my Toro leaf blower to dry the
vehicle. I finish the drying with a damp chamois.
I've had no problem with water dripping from the
mirrors or any other part of the vehicle. Using
a blower greatly simplifies the drying process.
time we go out as a family, lots of room, quality ride, good engine power, ease of use control, etc. We own the car since January and I still have to adjust parking the car. I am quite good in terms of parking including parallel parking since I used to live in NYC, but with the MDX and because it is so wide, I do have to take time to orient the car straight. Sometimes it is quite annoying. I also own an RAV4 and with 67" wide
and do not have this kind of problem at all.
The other complaint I have is the wind noise due to the roof rack and I searched through a lot of columns and cannot find any recommendation of the fixes. There is no horizontal bar around the roof rack either so how do you tighten the luggage with only front and back bars? Honda
engineers really missed this one.

I am getting mine at the airport Acura dealer in Philadelphia. I don't remember the name off hand. The salesman Chris Jerrel (spelling?) was a decent person. We are getting it for MSRP. Though, they force you to get mud-flaps and wheel-locks with the new car for $300 (all of $85) to purchase online). So I guess it is MSRP + $215.
However, can anyone at least tell me what format is used to write that Navi DVD? What I mean is it has to follow anyone of the format:
1. ISO Level 1
2. ISO Level 2
3. Hybrid
4. UDF/ISO
??? If I can atleast find out the format, then, I can convert DVD movies into that format on my computer and then burn them on blank DVD which I can put in Navi System and play it.
Anyone want's to play with this idea, please write me to my e-mail: SPatelOne@Yahoo.Com
Thank you
There is a Service Bulletin, number 01-032, that explains how the dealer can fix that problem. I can't find the web page right now, but, I have a copy of it in front of me, so it is correct info.
If you get a chance, you can help me with something. When I put my MDX in Park i can hear a whirring type of sound coming from the transmission. it is not very loud and I hear it clearer when there are walls beside the car. The sounds bounce off the walls and is easy to hear. With the engine running, and the shifting selector is moved into and out of Park, I get the noise. Can you try your's and let me know if you get the same thing? Thanks and good luck with the mirrors.
Have you experienced any reliability issues? (electrical system problems, engine problems, etc.)
I have a family of 4, and we like to drive on long road trips (in excess of 1000 miles). How good is the car on long trips? (Read: keeping the kids from fighting, seat comfort, durability at highway speeds and faster, etc.)
Is it good in snow? (I live in New England, I need a good 4WD vehicle to get around)
I thank you in advance for replying to this posting. It would be greatly appreciated!

As far as road trips I have no real experience yet, but one of the comments in the reviews is true. The driver's left foot doesn't have a great resting spot? While I don't see anything wrong from the design, I have noticed that it can be awkward (slightly).
I have had the dealership look at this problem. They sent my MDX through the car wash and replicated the problem. They then sent 2 brand new MDXs through the wash and the same problem occurred. After consulting with their Technical Center they were told that the problem had been reported before, by other dealerships, and there was currently no known fix. The local service center manager then contacted his friend, who owns an MDX, and was told that he also has this problem. That is fairly significant to have 4 out of 4 cars tested show this problem. Acura technicians have even told me they are not sure Acura is going to fix this problem and they have no way of finding out!
Do you have the same problem? Drop me an email at dlabeau@charter.net
Tomorrow I will be going to an Acura dealership to purchase an '05 MDX with the touring pkg. I saw the sticker price somewhere between $42,000 and $43,000.
Where can I find out what the dealer invoice price is for this same car? Is it on the sticker? If I ask to see it will the salesman show it to me or blow me off. I look forward to your reply.

Hope this helps!
Do local Acura Dealer will accept the TMV or Invoice price that Edmunds specified?
Thanks in Advance

I have scheduled service with the dealer and was wondering if any one has had this happen to them.
Thanks
