Great Acura... Great value for price in a luxury SUV.
No problems. Have 90,000 miles and it has been a very reliable car. It is comfortable both in city and on highway. Economical too. My car features include navigation system, rain detecting wipers and camera backup monitor, heated front seats, and Bluetooth radio cell phone connection.

Love my Acura mdx. Might buy another next.
Spacious, handles well; reasonable cargo space; decent gas mileage, around 20 city and 26 highway. We drive mostly in town; however, take it on trips also. We have had as many as seven passengers; however the rear fold down seat has room for only 2 small adults, maximum. Aside from routine maintenance no problems except we neglected having transmission serviced early and the repair was several hundred dollars.

That it is a small compact car.
Comfortable.. Good gas mileage.. Reliable on long trips. Just drove it on a 6,000 mile road trip. Seats are wide and able to accommodate changes in position..
accountCircle Sharon D
Reliability, is the most important to me.
Low gas mileage, but comfortable, handles well. Great radio, nav. Lots of room for passengers, but with seats down. Room for camping equipment..
accountCircle Christine O
The car featured a back camera for parking which is good for new drivers.
I have had no problem with this vehicle. Everything runs smoothly, it is reliable, the seats are comfortable and the inside is spacious. The features are good and still in good working order.

Popular with buyers who enjoyed this midsize luxury crossover.
The 2014 Acura mdx is a good all-around vehicle and a good car for families. It has ample power, a quality interior, and excellent safety ratings. It also won our 2014 best luxury 3-row SUV for the money and 2014 best luxury 3-row SUV for families awards.

Questionable quality, not as reliable as a Honda should be
I like the fact it is an SUV and four wheel drive, as a luxury SUV it lacks and quality is below average
accountCircle Gene A
It is a great vehicle to go camping with.
I like my vehicle's reliability, safety features, and storage space. But I am not a fan of its overall design, it is rounded edges (makes it difficult for me to parallel park), and its gas mileage. It's a bit too big for me, I'd prefer a similar vehicle but smaller.
accountCircle Martha B
Comfortable car for a small family. If you are looking for a decent SUV.. Its luxury and comfort
Comfortable for 4 people. It's hard to bend the seat to get in to the last row.

Vehicle Survey that includes summary of vehicle performance and details..
Very reliable performance. Sleek and comfortable interior. MY favorite thing about this vehicle is the reliability of the vehicle itself. The features are also incredible. If I were to purchase another vehicle in the future, I would purchase a newer version of this vehicle
accountCircle Mag F

It's safe, great on gas when over half a tank, and reliable.
I want something smaller. It's a bit outdated I want more speed

The leather on the inside feels a lot more expensive than it is.
The Acura mdx is a solid, reliable car that can fit 7 passengers if need be. It has a luxurious feel, and it didn't break the bank when purchasing. It is also decent on mpg for a car of its size, and I am overall quite impressed because of all it provides for the price.

I love my Acura mdx! It is a perfect family car.
I love my Acura mdx! It is a perfect family car. Easy to strap my daughter into her car seat, safe and sturdy. I have the technology package and it was totally worth it. The backup camera, sensors, blind spot assist, etc are so helpful! The car is very comfortable and spacious. It drives smooth and powerful. Plenty of room for storage in the car. I would highly recommend it!

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Amy M.

The pros are that it is a spacious car with a lot of safety features. It is great for a family that likes to travel. There are also lots of places to charge electronics and a DVD player so kids stay entertained.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Amy M.

The biggest con is filling up with gas is expensive. It needs premium gasoline and the gas mileage is horrendous. It is also not easy to get in and out of the third row and the navigation system is a bit unreliable.

How Reliable Is The 2014 Acura MDX?

Has had problems with the wheels, also the steering wheel isn't the best looking and the trunk could be more spacious.
nick m.
The only problem is sometimes lights wiring. I gave a jump to another car afterwards it wouldn't turn on.
leo q.
It has been extremely reliable until now. It is currently at the dealership to get a new torque converter - hefty price tag. However, the car has close to 100,000 miles on it so I anticipated a major... Read More
Christie M.
It is very reliable with no problems at all if you ask me. It all depends on how well you take care of your car.
Er C.
The 2014 Acura MDX is reliable. The trunk hydraulics seem to make for a slow open and close, but I like that is has a button so I don't have to put all my weight on it to slam it shut.
Michele S.
Yes, this Acura is very reliable. It has never given me any issues. No problems. Only regular maintenance has been needed.

Is The 2014 Acura MDX A Good Value?

It is without the doubt a good value and it has lived up to the standard that the brand company claims it to be.
nick m.
36,000 it was a very good value. It is luxurious looking. I love the led lights. I was very good showing off to everyone.
leo q.
I do not remember the cost? If I had to do it again I probably would not have bought the entertainment package because the DVD player was seldom used by my kids and the earphones broke.
Christie M.
It depends on if you want it fully loaded or not. But roughly around 49,000 depending on if it’s used or not.
David C.
I am not sure the cost exactly since we bought it used, but it is a very comfortable ride. It is an upscale vehicle so I wouldn't describe it as a value vehicle.
Megan R.
17,690, yes because it is an up to date car and it drives good and everything is basically brand new
Ana A.
The 2014 Acura MDX with technology package was just under $50,000. Compared to other vehicles in its class, Acura gives you more bang for the buck! Great value
