2002 ACURA MDX TOURING 4 DOOR SPORT UTILITY, ALL WHEEL DRIVE, 3.5 LITER V6 ENGINE, 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION W/ OD, POWER SUNROOF, HEATED LEATHER FRONT BUCKET SEATS, AM/FM STEREO, CD CHANGER, PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM, THIRD ROW SEATING. The Acura MDX combines most of the virtues of the SUV genre and diminishes or eliminates most of its vices. Anyone seeking comfort, performance, spaciousness, flexibility, proven safety features, environmental awareness and driving pleasure in a value-loaded package must have a look at the MDX. The Acura people speak of the MDX's athletic appearance. True enough if you have in mind a linebacker rather than a 100-meter sprinter. A casual look reveals a sturdy, stable-appearing machine with a wider, firmer stance than its competitors. Limited overhang gives it a denser, compact air. Large taillights also add to the straightforward sense of a strong presence. What isn't obvious except in a body-off view is the duality of the construction of the MDX. It is both unibody and body on frame! This Centaur-like approach gives uncommon rigidity and strength gained from the longitudinal rails with eight box-section cross members. This is the thinking engineers' path to making a car/truck both a car AND a truck whichever is appropriate to the occasion.Oh yes, something else evident when the chassis is naked: there's a vent tube for the differential so that water won't get into it when you are bumper deep (actually up to 18 inches) in a creek. So they have given thought to either rugged use or flooded roads. That goes beyond the usual neutralize bad weather approach of SUVs.
