2003 Acura MDX 3.5

Acura introduced the MDX as a 2001 model, and the midsize sport utility vehicle from Honda’s luxury division has tallied impressive sales totals. The 2003 MDX packs a 260-hp, 3.5-liter aluminum V-6 engine that teams with a five-speed-automatic transmission. A VTM-4 variable-torque management all-wheel-drive system powers the front wheels on smooth, dry roads. On slippery surfaces, it automatically transfers power to the rear wheels as needed to maintain traction. A dashboard button can be used to lock the system, which allows it to deliver maximum traction. Acura claims the MDX can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in less than 9 seconds. Inside, seven passengers occupy three rows of seats, which contains two front buckets, a three-place split middle bench and a two-place split rear seat. The center and rear seats fold flat into the floor to create additional cargo space. When the load floor is flat, it can accommodate a pair of mountain bikes or even a 6-foot ladder. The cargo volume is 81.5 cubic feet when the second- and third-row seats are folded flat. The MDX can accommodate any lifestyle and for this price you can't say no.
