MDX best SUV on the market
Well built, won safety awards, accelerates quickly, very comfortable ride, room for 7 (although the 3rd row seat would be cramped for adults). Comes with built in TV and Bluetooth, leather seats, and heated front seats, rear controls for a/c & heat in the back seats. Has surround speakers. Seats fold down for cargo. Gets good gas mileage for an SUV. LOVE my MDX!

What a LEMON
II purchased this vehicle about six months ago and I’ve had nothing but problems. For starters I found out I had a blown head gasket with 162,000 miles on it, Then I took it to a mechanic and asked him to check my battery, and after diagnosing my battery he said that my battery and my alternator were good but my battery wouldn’t hold charge. This is when my real nightmare started! After spending countless hours on the web I come to find out that something, could be audio system, Bluetooth, door locks, fuses, ETC, (none of which are inexpensive fixes) was drawing amps off the battery. Every time I went to start the car I just prayed that it would start, about 1/2 the time it wouldn’t. Come to find out that ACURA knew about this electrical problem but wouldn’t put out a recall! Also the gas mileage is terrible and with the fact that you have to put in premium gas just makes it that much worse. On the positive side… This MDX is a beast in snow! Also, the interior has an incredible amount of room and has a lot of extras in it.

What a LEMON
Bought a lemon ! Since I purchased this vehicle 6 months ago I’ve had nothing but problem after problem. First, found out it had a blown head gasket w/162,000 miles on it. Then the electrical nightmare started...after having it diagnosed by a mechanic he said my battery, though not able to charge, and alternator were good but every time I went to start my car I prayed that it would start...1/2 the time it wouldn’t. After doing hours of website searching come to find that it was an ongoing electrical problem that Acura knew about but never recalled. I was told it could be one of multiple things from the fuses, audio system, Bluetooth, door locks, ETC... None of which are inexpensive. The icing on the cake is the gas mileage. Wow does this thing s**k gas then you add in that it only take premium gas it makes it worse. To end on a positive note... This MDX is a beast in the snow and has an awesome amount of interior room

The car is made to last you a lifetime.
The problems of the car are non existent, it runs smoothly and it is very comfortable and I would recommend it for other Acura buyers. The car is very reliable, it is simple as getting you from point A to point B. It also includes a built in TV for those family road trips.

Reliable and still trendy car.
Great performance and reliability for a vehicle that is 14 years old. It is a classic style that is still popular and does not look aged. With today's technology, the only issue is updating the sound system and having an input system for listening to music.

Acura is a great brand of luxury vehicles. You will not be disappointed.
I love the ride quality. It drives like a car. I dislike the accessibility to the third row.
accountCircle Channel H on January 22, 2021
I really love my vehicle. It looks smaller than it is.
I love the fact that a tank of gas carry me along way. I traveled 1250 miles and only refilled my tank once. It's very spacious and roomy. I also have a third row for moving big items.. It doesn't need much maintenance, more than routine service. I actually would like to, get the newer model because I am very satisfied with the performance. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be, when driving 70+ miles or more the steering wheel shakes.
accountCircle Rachael W on January 6, 2021
I would recommend this to anyone that wants a nice, reliable family car.
My husband and I bought an Acura mdx, about 3 years ago, and have been very satisfied with the consistency of its performance. We have only had to get basic maintenance work done on it, and a few important repairs to the struts and boots and brakes. It has not been overly expensive to keep up with repairs. The sound system inside is very good. I especially like the built in DVD player for the kids, as we like to make long road trips occasionally. The GPS system was not working properly when we bought it, and needed replacing. We mail ordered and installed the GPS system and it had been very useful. There is a rearview camera, that works well, though it is difficult to gauge the distance of object we see in it. This car is comfortable, reliable, and looks good. I'd be likely to buy another Acura in the future.

I love that my vehicle has a third row and can fit 7 people, however the third row stores flat so we have an expansive back storage. I love my heated seats. I also love that the lights come on automatically. I wish that when the third row was up we had move room like we do in our Honda Odyssey.
It drives so smoothly and has a very quiet running on the interior.

Great car for work and for families!
The comfort of this vehicle is the primary feature. It has plenty of room for our family of 4 plus the dog and luggage or plus a couple of friends. The drive is smooth, and it has all the features I need. I added after market Bluetooth to complete what I wanted in a car. We have had no big issues, but we take good care of it maintenance-wise. We have taken this car across the country on long road trips and not had issues. It's versatile with the third row of seats and even my kids can manipulate the mechanisms to put seats up and down. Because it's older, finding accessories can be a challenge, but we eventually find what we need.

Acura mdx- very safe and reliable. High performance qualities in an classy SUV
The mdx is a very reliable car! I have had it for about 6 years now and I have had a few recalls for airbags etc nothing serious. I have not had any major issues with my vehicle since I have owned it besides replacing a few things here and there and tires etc as on any vehicles It drives so smoothly especially for an SUV and has so much room on the inside you never feel cramped even with a full 7 passengers. The 3rd row folds down creating a larger trunk area wonderful for family trips! I always put premium gas in as it states to ensure the best performance out of my SUV. There is a separate ac control for the back seat passengers which is a nice touch. The leather interior and large display on the dash make it more luxurious.

Great features and remarkable wishbone suspension.
Overall I love my Acura mdx. It is my 3rd Acura. The best things are the luxury class features such as stereo, leather seats, heated seats, defrost on side mirrors. The very best feature is the wishbone suspension! No matter how old it gets it drives like a brand new car. Fortunately there are few repairs because they are pricey. The worst is the $1000 timing chain maintenance at 108, 000 miles and also Honda motor corporation cannot make a window motor or door lock worth 15 cents. They all break well under 100, 000 miles. I have replaced window motors twice on one side. Overall they are quality fun to drive, long lasting cars.
