Might as well be a sports sedan instead of an SUV.

"...handles better on the track than some well-known and highly regarded European SUVs.

"Smooth, confident, serene. Firm but not hard-riding. Accommodating and compliant but not sloppy-feeling. Put some higher-price rivals to shame, it did.

"The test vehicle had the optional sport suspension, meaning it delivered both racetrack delight and rough-road coddling. Nice work.

"Special merit award goes to the SH-AWD®, Acura's acronym for super-handling all-wheel drive. On the track, once you got used to just when to nail the gas exiting a corner, you could feel the SH-AWD straighten the vehicle and send it smartly forward.

"...SH-AWD feeds more power to the rear wheel on the outside of a turn to gently power-pivot the MDX into the right heading. What a treat to have a high-tech gadget actually help the driver do as he wishes, instead of preventing that, as other systems often do.

"Nice package; might be best of the premium SUV lot."
