Great vehicle for the family.
Nothing as of yet besides normal routine maintenance. The only thing is my navigation system is not updated so I cannot find locations that are new in the area, they need to provide and update for that. Otherwise the car is great spacious and convenient for a family and kids.

Quality car that's dependable, functional, and comfortable
Good quality car! It's lasted a long time. Maintenance is inexpensive. I wish it didn't require Premium Gas. Good value.

Sporty and roomy at the same time!
Love how it has a third row of seating. It is stylish and fun to drive. I love the Bluetooth option and navigation. The gas mileage is not the greatest, but still not as bad as other SUVs. The sound system is great and you have the ability to record your CDs I to the hard drive in the car which is really nice.

Does not have a backup camera or back up sensors. Which I would like to be on newer models
This car is great for a family car. It has a lot of room. Gets pretty good gas mileage. Is a safe and reliable car.
accountCircle Maria C
Very family oriented vehicle.
The Acura mdx is a very reliable vehicle. It runs smoothly, and if it has any maintenance issues it will inform you on the driving panel as well as send you a message through the messaging center. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in purchasing a nice family vehicle.

My car review after 10 years.
I like it. Gets the job done but no bells and whistles. Wish that it had more smart technology and modern elements. It has been reliable though. Very good for road trips. I'll probably get something more tech friendly and powerful next time I buy a car. Used though.
accountCircle Lisa S
Nice looking, not nice riding.
It is a nice looking vehicle but the handling of it is not optimum. It takes bumps really hard and it drives all over the road. I have had mechanics look at the front end alignment many times because it always appears to be off. Also the back seat space is way too small.
accountCircle cole K
What the car is really like.
It runs fine for the most part it is pretty average, I would recommend it if it's perfectly in your price range but plenty of things are both better and worse. It's fairly comfortable after you break in the seats but they could come off a bit hard at first I think it is decent if you have a bunch of friends in it with you.

How I view my 2010 Acura MDX
My car is great for someone looking for a first car and something reliable and safe. It has a decent acceleration, luxurious interior, and drives very smoothly. The sound system is astounding. The base model comes with a large subwoofer and puts out a lot of bass, if selected. The problems I have experienced include less than desirable gas mileage as well as a faulty torque converter. Additionally, my tires tend to wear unevenly and this requires an alignment to fix.
accountCircle Dolores J
Acura Review multiple drivers which reset seat positions and steering height.
The vehicle is comfortable. A little large for me but it does have a third row seat which is convenient when we have multiple passengers. Driving in the snow is not as good as previous vehicles owned. It is a reliable vehicle and does have good indicators for when oil changes are needed and other service features. It also has a rear camera which is a nice feature considering the size of the vehicle it makes it easier to park, reverse, etc.
accountCircle Rachel C
Safest family car for new families.
The car is really nice for families and the speed is amazing. It is very safe and reliable and I would really recommend buying it new as it will be the most beneficial. I love this car's design and color and would really recommend buying it as it will keep you satisfied for a long time.
accountCircle John C
My overall description and beliefs of my Honda accord.
Basic interior I would rather a little more decor but it's good for the overall price of the car. The performance is good very smooth on road driving. Not very spaces but the entertainment system is ok but a little outdated for the year and model of the car.
accountCircle stub h
It is a cool car, drives well. But find it takes up too much gas and always requires premium, so it is bad for the wallet.
It is reliable. Have not have many issues with the car.

It is a pretty exterior and a nice interior.
Reliability is great and not really any issues, we've had it for so long and it is really good. A older vehicle however it performs well sometimes random lights will come up and we have to take it into the shop but other than that I like it. Acura’s are very good cars.

Reliable sporty Acura MDX
Reliable and affordable lasts a long time as long as you keep up the maintenance. Comfortable and easy accessibility. Cargo holds quite a bit of large items.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Sharay H.

The pros of my Acura MDX has great acceleration. It is loaded with a lot of options even on technology entertainment package model. It is very comfortable, it has awesome legroom, it has excellent headroom and it is very reliable with very low on the maintenance. Acura MDX's are an amazing truck and it has excellent performance.

likeFilled Heather M.

I liked the easy handling and how it can park like a car even though it is an SUV. The safety features like ABS and airbags as well as the back up camera were strong pros. I like the technology like Bluetooth, video package, and 4WD.

likeFilled Mary S.

With proper maintenance this is a great car. No problems whatsoever. It's great looking and people ways comment on it. It's comfortable and runs like it did when it was new. It's more of a luxury vehicle despite it being a workhorse.

likeFilled Bing T.

Roomy, comfortable..I like the handling and also the maneuvering of the car. It is very useful in our daily life. Versatile that I can use it for anything from grocery, to commute to work. It has enough room for my two grandkids. So to use it on our long trips. Efficient enough on gas mileage. I can use it to take my wife to airports with enough leg room for all her luggages.

likeFilled Lindsa D.

The pros about my Acura mdx is that it is very quiet. T is perfect for long trips with the family and is very comfy. The mdx is the one of my favorite SUVs to drive as it is very fitting in all occasions.

likeFilled Bri W.

Leather interior, seat heaters and coolers, smooth ride, easy access buttons on steering wheel, reverse camera. Easy to drive and great safety features. Gives you alerts when a car is too close while driving and or parking.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Sharay H.

The only con I have about my 2010 Acura MDX is the fuel efficiency. It has 18 MPG on the highway and 15 MPG on the regular road. I find that having the oil changed as scheduled, and keeping up on the maintenance, you'll have a greater chance of the MGP increasing and finding yourself not going to the gas station often. Other than the fuel, this is an amazing vehicle!

dislikeFilled Heather M.

There are not many cons, but now that the car is 10 years old there are some advancements that would be nice. I would like to have something like CarPlay now that the technology has improved. The gas mileage is good for an SUV but still not as good as a car.

dislikeFilled Mary S.

There are no cons.. It just keeps getting better Every day. I know you want cons, there just aren't any. It we choose to buy a new car it definitely will be another MDX. The Looks and driving ability and.

dislikeFilled Bing T.

There's is nothing of cons that I can think of. It is really very helpful vehicle for my everyday use. It maybe a little expensive to so many people but I find it reasonable. Fuel efficiency may also factor in because normally. You want to put a high grade of fuel filling up.

dislikeFilled Lindsa D.

The cons about my vehicle is that it is rwd. You cannot get the best of both worlds but for my trips to the mountains cars with FWD are more fitting for my lifestyle, specifically in the winter months.

dislikeFilled Bri W.

Automatically links to the newest phone that it was connected to and difficult to change it back. Only take supreme gas, but easy to wash and dry. Back row not so easy to get into, I have my child go through the back door.
