2010 Acura MDX — Flash DriveSource: MSN Autos...The 3.7-liter V6 engine delivers 300 horsepower, and the 6-speed transmission is smooth, but it's the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) that gives the MDX the balanced feel. Accelerating hard in rainy conditions, you feel the SH-AWD driving you into the turn and overcoming the tendency to understeer that would be expected in this type of vehicle. – Mike MeredithWhile I'm not a big fan of the MDX's looks, I love the interior. Our test vehicle featured a beautiful black and tan 2-tone design that felt very high-end. Unfortunately, the instrument panel is confusing, with too many buttons... |

CarGurus' Review for 2010 acura mdxSource: CarGurus
...There is very little not to like about the 2010 Acura MDX. |

2010 Acura MDX Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...It works well on the MDX. In terms off measurements, the MDX is a wee bit longer (191.6 inches vs. 190.9) and shorter (68.2 inches vs. 72.7) than the Pilot. But their widths are exactly the same at 78.5 inches. The slight differences in measurements give the Acura MDX a longer, sleeker look. But both have somewhat unfortunate faces: a bulldog visage for the Pilot and a Darth Vader-like, mean-girl physiognomy for the MDX. I would like to tell you that there is a marked difference in handling and acceleration between the all-wheel-drive MDX and the Pilot. But there isn't. You can go to jail... |

2010 Acura MDX Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The 10-way power-adjusted driver's seat lets you pick the best seating position and from there, things only get better. There are climate controls for all three rows, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free phone operation, a back-up camera and optional navigation system. The center stack still looks a little crowded with all of the buttons and knobs, but it only takes a day or two to get used to it. Smooth driving For this model year, Acura has made paddle shifters standard, as well as an auto-dimming rear-view mirror (with a backup camera screen in the mirror) and LED-backlit instruments... |

2010 Acura MDX Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...While there's still a somewhat awkward center control knob for managing the audio system, voice commands help some, especially when accessing music. The system uses a setup similar to Ford's Sync system: Just plug in an iPod — it only works with iPod and iPhone devices — and use a single button on the steering wheel and your voice. The button prompts you to speak commands like "Play artist Pearl Jam" or "Play setlist Car Songs." I was very impressed with the system's voice-recognition capabilities; it misheard me only a few times and seemed to understand artist and album names more often... |

Why should I also consider these?
The 2010 Acura MDX is among TheCarConnection.com’s top-ranked large crossovers.
Contenders include the handsome Buick Enclave, with great safety and sex appeal, as well as a prettier interior with a piece or two of less-appealing plastic trim than the MDX.
The Volvo XC90 has three rows of seats, but seating anyone in the third row is an awkward exercise, fuel economy is relatively poor, and initial quality has been less than exemplary.
The new Lincoln MKT takes the fundamentals of the roomy, capable Ford Flex and wraps them in distinctive sheetmetal—and fits in a 355-horsepower turbocharged six-cylinder engine for class-leading power.
