During my test drives, I didn't notice a preponderance of road noise, but then again anything seems quiet after my 987S with Fabspeed exhaust, as well as my father-in-law's massive Chevy truck that I've been driving for a couple weeks.

What I will say is that the MDX is built on the same platform as the Honda Pilot, so you would think they would be similar driving experiences... but no. The Honda drives much more like a truck and the MDX feels significantly more "car-like." I'm sure the difference comes down to a more advanced suspension setup in the MDX.

What SHOCKED me was that the MDX felt more nimble and "car-like" than the various Audi Q5s and Q7s we've driven. That was totally contrary to expectations.
