Everyone seems to be so impressed by the MDX's acceleration and although this is accurate at low speeds, it seems that driving 70 mph in 5th gear leaves almost no power. Whenever I use cruise control and go over an overpass, the car has to downshift to maintain speed. I don't think anything is wrong with the car otherwise.
I have posted this on the Edmunds message board and did receive some agreement regarding how "tall" the 5th gear is. However, I'm surprised I don't see anything similar on this board.
I was again curious about this after reading about how well the MDX tows at highway speeds. (Granted I would expect most people keep it in 4th gear when towing)
