If you like driving, you will love the handling and power of the MDX. 300HP means an average litres/100KM of 12.0, which is no Smart Car, but significantly less than the Tahoes, F150's...great balance of power and economy. Acura builds them very well. SH AWD is a fantastic AWD system for Alberta driving conditions, which as we know, often require a vehicle to handle drive pavement, followed by black ice, followed by heavy snow on the same day. The MDX handles it all very well.
