| Price of the Lexus ES: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | The price of the car is about $5,000 too much in my opinion considering it lacks several features other much less expensive cars include standard that Lexus charges outrageous prices to add (such as satellite radio and remote start). |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | For the price of the ES, which I paid under invoice, I could have nearly paid for two 4-cylinder Camrys. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Acura MDX
| Price of the Acura MDX: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Yes, I did until they gave $4K incentive right now |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Good value for a mid-sized luxury SUV |
| Price of the Acura MDX: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | A similarly equipped Mazda CX-9 was $4,500 less. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | They should make leases more affordable. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Higher than FX |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Given current resale values I think the original pricing was too high. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Expensive |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Can get expensive, but still a good value in the field. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Cost more than a car, but less than most SUVs. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Comparatively speaking, the incentive from BMW (less $6000) was what did it for me. Acura could not match it. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Price is too high. |

Nothing ever breaks! Wears like iron. Plan to keep this car until 300K or more miles. At least two people that we told about car have purchased MDXs. |
| 2001 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Car is 11 years old and near perfect. Only problem I have is outside temperature gauge is not always accurate. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The fit and finish on this vehicle did/do not meet my expectations. I drove a Lexus RX prior, and the all-around build quality, fit and finish of that vehicle was far superior. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The interior did not hold up to normal wear and tear. The cargo area was permanently deformed from the weight of a child stroller. The running boards were scratched within the first two weeks of ownership. Interior trim scratched during normal cleaning |
