Great SUV. It was on my list at some point, but I wish there was a model without the third row and more cargo room instead. I think it was in August or September Acura had 10k off, cash, for the base model (2011).
You do realize those third row seats fold down perfectly flat? We will use it as if they don't exist. Really, I don't know why they bothered with that third row at all.
The floor is flat but it slopes to the back and there are gaps between the sides of the cabin and the folded seats so small stuff can fall through. Such floor is also soft for heavy cargo because of the seat cushions.
Having those seats may come handy for family trips but lots of ppl will likely never use them.
The best floor design I found in a Kia Sorento with a 2-row option. You lift up the deck and there is a huuuuge storage compartment underneath. At the same time the floor is flat and sturdy.
However MDX is an awesome overall package and it feels very luxurious inside and is said to handle well at limits. I wish it took regular gas.
