Good car with great family features.
It has some break problems but I love it because it is a good size for my family and has a lot of space in the trunk for groceries or suitcases when traveling. It also has a TV in the back if you want to keep kids entertained on a long trip. The aux works well and the GPS is pretty good, it is a little outdated with the streets though. It is a good starter family car overall.

Never go wrong with Acura mdx.
Is a great family vehicle. Drives smooth, is a full time 4WD & has a lot of power even is 6 cylinder. I love the technology and entertainment & for sure the body style. Is pretty much helpful the blind spot detection & I simply love my mdx. I recommend the 3rd row seat, is no worries when you like to travel.

Beautiful black Acura mdx.
Very comfortable car. The leather seats are wide and soft. Feels very roomy inside. This car has been very reliable, never caused any issues. It does not have the most efficient gas mileage however, and requires 93 gas, but that has not been that much of an issue for me.

Simple, Safe, and Reliable Car
I love my Acura. The car is very comfortable and easy to drive. All members of my family have driven it and enjoyed it. The controls and features are very easy to figure out and it is a very reliable car. I feel safe every time I drive it, I even learned to drive with that car and found it very easy. Overall, I love the car and would purchase another Acura MDX in the future.

Acura MDX great for a family of four or more
Love the leg room, body size. I feel safe. The trunk area is roomy enough for groceries and a dog crate, it also has an easy fold down feature for carrying long, large items. The media panel is easy or maneuver and understand. I also like the side radio control panels

Love my MDX would highly recommend
I love this car. Has wonderful acceleration and handles well. I had routine maintenance done as recommended and have had no other repairs and I now have 97,000 miles driven. The only problem I have had is that the CD player is broken and is quite expensive to repair.

That it is the best car ever.
I love that it is a big enough car for all my friends. Also, it has an AUX cord. I do not like how the radio system works.
accountCircle Jeremy D
Amazing handling feature that makes taking turns seem like a NASCAR track
My Acura MDX is a wonderful vehicle, the driving is out of this world, the comfort level attainable in the chairs is unmatched on the current market. The base sound system can only be compared that of a space shuttle. The outside noise is greatly reduced, almost to the point of nothing and this car is pretty sweet. A bit expensive but it's a great car.

Negative Owner Reviews

Sterling silver toned blue Acura.
Sticky shift does not allow handle to flow from gear to gear, too large of a vehicle for maneuvering through tight spaces and cityscapes, outdated and boring design of the interior, uncomfortable leather seating and finicky plastic feeling of appliances, too large of a trunk in comparison to the head of the car just looks odd.
accountCircle Jerrica F
User-friendly high-tech features and is a reliable sensible luxury car.
Not really as spacious as it looks like from the outside putting up the 3rd row seat takes away almost all of the back storage. It is terrible on gas 16 or less miles to a gallon. It is really bad on oil consumption and I have to add additional oils monthly.
accountCircle Samantha F
I love how when you are driving it has little alarms and things to tell you.
The parts to replace are a little on the expensive side. It also does not have a ton of room on the inside so it is kind of crowded. It does have pretty good gas mileage, and it also has a 3rd row with 2 extra seats. I have 5 kids so it is a little crowded but it would be good for a family with less people.
accountCircle Crystal M
The best review of my car.
Nothing is wrong. The car is fine. But most of the time we can barely feel the AC cooling us on a hot sunny day. That is what racks our nerves most of the time. Without having openable windows our car is always uncomfortable and hot. Otherwise the entire design is alright.
accountCircle Katherine A
Spacious family vehicle for traveling.
The vehicle drives very smoothly and you have full view of all of its features. I like that I can lower the windows down by inserting the key and holding it for a few seconds when I turn it left. The car is also very spacious. I like the heated seats portion since I deal with brutal winters.
accountCircle Amelia L
Great vehicle, needs work after 100, 000 miles.
I would absolutely love the car if it weren't over 100, 000 miles and needing some repair work. Leather interior, Bluetooth calling, great sound system, heated seats, automatic everything. There really is not anything to complain about. It drives more like a big truck than most SUVs but it is completely reliable. I haven't used it in the snow yet, since I just got it in April but I am completely confident it will get me where I need to go without any issues.
accountCircle Olivia K
Very safe and smooth driving car.
I really like this car. It not only drives very well but when on the highway it drives very smoothly. It is also very good on gas and I do not have to refill very often. There are many cool features, such as the radio and sound system work very well, and the Bluetooth connects very easily.
accountCircle Holly N
The most important thing about my car is that it has 3 rows.
I like the car because of the 3rd row and the heated seat. I dislike the car because the gas is to much money. I dislike my car because the leather is coming off.

It has a smooth driving wheel.
It is a very reliable car. Very safe for families with kids, it is also very comfortable and smooth to drive. Very advanced technology even when it is a little old. It does use much gas I fill it full every week and a half and use it everyday for work.

Love my Acura mdx and you will too!
My vehicle does have an issue with the oil - it loses oil but does not leak. Acura has confirmed there is an issue but has not fixed. Otherwise, my car is extremely comfortable and a very sporty ride!! It is reliable, except for the oil issue. I love my Acura!!
