After reading about wind noise and the possibility that it could be caused by a roof rack, I was glad that I hadn't ordered one for my base model MDX. The X has quickly become my wife's car (bummer for me!), and she wants to add a roof rack to make it look more rugged (SUVish).
I don't ever plan to use the rack for skis, bikes, etc. Instead, I plan to get a trailer hitch mounted thule or yak rack, and to simply put my Salomons X-Scream Pilots inside.
Questions: Do you think I should add a roof rack simply for the looks, or is the cost ($ and noise) not worth it?
I have read that some of you removed your racks because of noise. Any regrets about the appearance? Has anyone else added a rack and regretted it?
I like the clean lines of the X, but agree it could use a little spiffing up to kill the minivanish look.
