I want to buy an Acura MDX 2006 and I need your inputs on the pros and cons of the car. How good is this SUV? Is it really reliable?

Only one word: RUN!

hahahah

Having driven one before, arguably the most rugged of its contemporaries. However, there's that transmission problem it often develops after a certain time. I would advise you to look at other options or if you can afford it, go for the 07 model.

Ok, so what are your reasons?

Thanks! I appreciate.

2001 MDX , I haven’t experienced any transmission issues so far . The car was transferred to me by my dad. Mileage is over 110,000 still drives well , very rugged , I love those 2006 model because of some added features in the technology aspect. Last trip with the car was from Awka to Mbaise on 14/11/2020. The movement was hitch free. Full tank took me to and fro , and still had half tank when I reached Four Corners Enugu then I topped up with #5000 fuel.
The repairs carried out in it include camber bushing, brake pad, oil change , stabilizer linkage , the road I ply are very bad , so I always look out for the camber bushing and stabilizer linkage.
Is a great car if you take care of it as a baby .
9/07/2019 I drove it to Abuja from Nsukka for an exam . No issues experienced to and fro.

@ Mcval

Which lubrication oil and gear oil do you use? Because I am looking to buy one.

Engine : I use Mobil 20W-50
Transmission: abro automatic transmission fluid .
Though you can still buy the Honda transmission fluid should be like #16,000 or there about.
@ Alkason.

@ Alkason that’s the Honda transmission fluid below
The first picture .
Other ones in the second picture are still recommended for Honda cars but it doesn’t come cheap.

It's a good SUV based on a day handling but I once saw one that had transmission issues a week after purchase but can't judge based on that.

i use the 07,so far so good. It. i think the 07 upwards os better though.

Thanks a lot.

Though it is a rugged suv. But the 2002 to 2006 model had sturbon to fix transmission problems. 07 gear is better but the transmission issue is finally solved from 08 models above.
