Acura mdx the best of suvs.
This car has a very large frame, but it drives very smoothly. I have had this car for 6 years and to this day have not found any difficulties or problems with it. We take this car out for family road trips and could not be any happier with its performance.

Incredibly luxurious ride.
Smooth feel to the drive, incredibly comfortable seating that makes you look forward to taking any trip. All leather interior gives a very rich feel to the stylish ride. The tech package is a nice feature as well. There are three settings you can put the vehicle in, a sport setting for when you really want to have some get up and go to it, or the more traditional setting that is more typical. If you are looking for an upscale SUV that has outstanding reliability and performance, will feel comfortable getting 200,000 miles from, you must look at a vehicle like the Acura mdx.

Very reliable car, that I feel confident driving.
Acuras are a solid car, everything inside the car is high end and its sells for a reasonable price. The mdx drives like a dream. It is powerful and smooth. The nine speed zf transmission has been hammered, but it seems quite smooth to me. The sport mode is especially fun, as it tightens down the steering and makes me forget I am driving an SUV.

Mdx: luxurious and edged without the extreme price tag.
The mdx provides three settings for driving. Comfort setting provides a luxurious ride, smoother requiring minimal effort. It's extremely gas efficient making it very economical to drive daily. The mdx also has heated seats and comfortably fits men over 6ft tall on the back seat. Storage is wonderful for road trips. The radio/technology is fairly easy to program.

The perfect family friendly SUV
The Acura MDX with advance entertainment package is a great vehicle. It makes having luxury upgrades affordable. Acura's are known for their low maintenance and long drive life. The wide DVD screen with wireless headphones are perfect for entertaining kids. Those sitting in the back seats can watch a movie or play games listening with the headsets while those without the headphones can enjoy the radio simultaneously. The car has Bluetooth phone connections as well as voice call functionality, creating safe, hands free phone usage. Along with the entertainment features, the car drives smoothly. It has blind spot alerts, seat warmers/cooling features, and a rear camera.

Excellent vehicle with excellent engine performance.
I really like the sleek and attractive exterior design of the vehicle. I also like the engine performance and it handling. The interior design is nicely designed with a modern look.

4/5 Stars: Drives well but I'm nitpicking
Vehicle drives well. Sometimes the Bluetooth does not work and I have to restart the car. The backup camera helps when trying to park in smaller spaces. I love the blind spot warnings as they really help when I'm trying to change lanes. The seat position does change every time I turn the car off and I have to keep fixing that even though it was set

The interior is just off.
Gears shift slowly. Car adapts smell within first week. I do not recommend. The windshield is not in the right position for a six foot nine person. The sets feel like sticky prices of fake leather. In addition, they stick to your skin on hot days, which can be very annoying.

My vehicle review. And what I do and what I do not like about it.
My vehicle is ok.My vehicle dashboard is sticky due to the heat heating up the dashboard. I would like if this were not the case with this vehicle I also had a recall on the ignition for the keys slot. Overall I am ok with the vehicle but I would also like if there was a backup camera.

Wow! Great car! No problems.
No problems so far. Great car! Runs well have no had to have any maintenance on it except the normal oil changes, tire rotation, etc. Love the color. Drives well. Not too hard on gas. Have driven it for a few years now and does not seem to have any problems. Got a good deal on it too.

I have the Acura mdx in grey.
I like my car but they changed the design and I do not like the trunk space anymore. They made the mouth of the trunk much smaller and now you cannot fit big items in the trunk anymore. They also changed the view from the driver's side and there is a huge blind spot which I find to be very dangerous and should be rectified asap.
accountCircle Elle H
Best car ever- should be purchased.
This car is a beautiful make and model. Very smooth drive. So far, haven't had any repairs or maintenance and the gas per mileage is great. It is very roomy and I have been able to take many road trips with a full car, comfortably. I highly recommend this make and model.
accountCircle Kristin T
Black, SUV, super comfrey automobile.
No real problems. It's actually been very reliable. I think I am just ready for a change. I've had this car for a while now and so I am kind of ready to purchase a new one. But I always like to stay with Acura. I always suggest this car company to family and friends.
accountCircle Ethan M
The car had great horsepower and handles very well.
The Acura mdx the backup camera broke. I had some problems with the wireless Bluetooth. It has a lot of horsepower and the car is very comfortable. The gas mileage is pretty low. The car handles very well and has a decent stop but not as good as other SUVs have been. Lots of features and technology in the car which was a huge benefit for. The interior look was not very great compared to other cars.
accountCircle Amanda A
Elegant durable ride. Makes for an enjoyable trip long or short.
The Acura is a fantastic vehicle. Bluetooth works great (no echo). Smooth ride. Bass system generally good for being stock. I think the car is a classy feel. Styling of the interior and exterior allows for an elegant / athletic mood. Comfort is a must and the Acura has the right level of durability and comfort. Cheap to maintain.

I love the amount of space the vehicle has for passengers.
I love our Acura mdx. It is a vehicle that drives really well. Our mdx drives very smoothly and makes me feel like I am in full control. I have driven the car on long road trips and short road trips and it is very comfortable to ride in. Our Acura mdx is very spacious and has the capacity to fit a ton of luggage. The fuel tank is large and we are able to drive roughly 450 miles per tank of gas. Our car fits up to 8 people if we aren't carrying any luggage.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Christa C.

The car is a 7 seater, heated seats in the front, power sunroof. Automatic trunk opening and closing. The back seats have their own heat/ax control. Good on gas in the highway. Very spacious, back row goes down for a larger trunk.

likeFilled Crystal I.

The pros of this vehicle is the size of it for me I love that it is not intrusive to my vision and the handling is done well. I believe the car is pretty spacious compared to its size. I like driving in smaller cars than bigger cars it just feels safer to me.

likeFilled Devon A.

It is a great car but is smaller than I would like it to be. I am looking to buy a new car only BC of the size issue with the new mdx style. It does not have mechanical problems if you maintain it the way your supposed to.

likeFilled Peggy L.

The car sits 7. It has navigation system that is easy to use. The gas mileage is good. The design of the car looks elegant. It has good safety record according to the consumer's report. Acura is also a reputable and reliable car brand. It is my first time buying Acura.

likeFilled Benjamin S.

It is pretty roomy car that also has a good amount of storage inside of the car as well as in the back for groceries and stuff, the backseat is big enough to fit 3 kids and not have any real issues, the four wheel drive is also very nice.

likeFilled Jeff H.

Very quiet luxurious ride. You can feel the high quality construction of the vehicle simply in the feel of the way the doors close. The computerized navigation is a very easy to operate. It has two settings for automatic seat settings as well which is nice as we have two drivers in our family, so it is nice to have seats pre-set.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Christa C.

No heated steering wheel. The back seats are difficult to pull forward to have someone go in the way back. The flare tire is underneath the car. The tools to remove the tire are difficult to find. Bad on gas on roads.

dislikeFilled Crystal I.

The cons of this vehicle are that it is not a hybrid car perhaps it creates a lot of pollution. Another con is that I do not have the latest car and the latest cars may have better hardwiring and mileage on them. I still enjoy my car very much.

dislikeFilled Devon A.

The size is a major con for me. I have 2 kids and a golden retriever and the car is much too small. The older design was much roomier compared to the new design that they made rounded. I would not recommend if you are looking for a big family car.

dislikeFilled Peggy L.

The car vibrates and noisy. The car seats are not comfortable to sit after a long time. So far I am not satisfy with the car compares to Lexus rx. Picked Acura because wanted a car to fit more than 5. At the time, it was the wise choice based on the safety reports which its very important to me.

dislikeFilled Benjamin S.

The head room is not great if you are a taller guy like me, also would like to see more tie down hooks or something in the back for securing luggage or any bigger items when hauling around. Gas mileage could also be a lot better, unless all you do is drive highways.

dislikeFilled Jeff H.

The mdx is a big vehicle. It is probably bigger than what I desire and need. Too late now. Also, with a vehicle this large, gas mileage is only around 17-18 miles per gallon, so I feel like I am shelling out money at the pump much more frequently that I did with my Nissan murano (my last vehicle).
