REVIEWS

Edmunds.com

It appears the folks at Acura went after BMW and Porsche in terms of vehicle dynamics and have outdone themselves in the process.

"It was easily quicker, more controlled and entertaining when compared to the BMW or Volvo. Where the X5 and XC90 summoned either overzealous stability-control intervention or developed terminal understeer entering a corner, the MDX simply dove in and powered out of those same corners.

"When the Acura's vehicle stability assist (VSA) was shut off, it matched the Porsche's athleticism and penchant for crazy yaw angles. Nevertheless, it was obvious the 300-hp MDX had longer legs than the 247-hp Cayenne, running away on every straight bit of track.

"With all its unexpected performance, standard safety and interior features, plus Acura's attention to detail and reputation for longevity, the 2007 Acura MDX is the current midsize SUV standard for the others to chase.

"The MDX has amazingly supportive-yet-soft leather seats. Attractive material choices are made better by the interior's unquestionable build quality.

"Acura has taken the MDX's interior and dash to a new level of sophistication and elegance."
