I love it. It is my favorite car and I wouldn't trade it for another one.
Nothing much overall great car had since I was a teen! I will say I have traveled many miles in this car and have yet to have a break down. The sound quality of the speaker is getting a little old but I still really enjoy it. This car is the perfect size for me and my friends and I love it so much, couldn’t think of another car I’d rather have!!

The car has excellent gas mileage for It's age.
Nothing about it I hate. I have loved it from the first day that I purchased it. It's extremely reliable and dependable. It's extremely comfortable to ride in and on long car trips. I like the automatic locking doors, also the air conditioner blows very cold air which is nice. The radio sounds amazing.

The amazing Acura of the century.
I have had it since 2013 and rarely ever have a problem with it. The mileage on it is fantastic I couldn't ask for a better car. If there was only one thing I could say as a negative I would have to say that the price is pretty steep a little bit more expensive than I would want to pay that might be a little bit of a problem.

It looks nice for an affordable price.
It is a very nice car, drives well, very clean looking, is safe and comfortable for children and adults. Drives well on any time of roads and weather conditions. Has good steer control and nice extremities. Fits people comfortably, is nice and roomy. Recommend it for everyone.

Best car ever. Everyone should own this type of car!
I love this car so much. It has been reliable for my family and I since the day we got it. We have had no issues driving it, and I would buy another one or recommend it to anyone looking to buy a new car. Our favorite part is the heated seats and the cooler seats. We look forward to every time we get to get in the car.

We wanted this model, we just had to wait for the right one to come along.
I like everything Cornford sound systems. I like suspension and gas mileage I have 2013 Acura. It was good and smooth when the mileage was about 40000-50000 but after the mileage went higher the transmission got problem, it will shake every time I tried to be from 45-50 mile per hour.

Great sound system and feels safe.
Great performance, always reliable to take on long trips. My seat is comfortable, and I love the music system and the air conditioning and heat are great. Additionally, the car is a smooth ride and I feel safe when I am driving. Gas mileage is also good.

The most average vehicle I have seen.
Doesn't really drive well. It moves really rigid and the engine is loud. The brakes are decent but not quite where I wanted it. The interior of the vehicle is decently spacious for me and my significant other. The suspension is too high for me because I like low vehicles.

The ZDX has its quirks
I suspect the other commentators on this site posting about the ZDX are not genuine, as their comments appear to be edited boilerplate typically used by bots. The car is not roomy, it is in fact rather small on the inside, especially considering it uses the exact same platform as the MDX/Pilot. Every ZDX has a full glass roof that is very nice, and the All Wheel Drive is fantastic in the snow. The Advance model has electronic shocks (tech borrowed from GM’s former Delphi unit) that will fail prematurely and need to be replaced with very expensive OEM units only. There is a variety of electronic bugs that pop up and are disconcerting, such as when the oil pressure switch fails and you get the dreaded Low Oil Pressure warning message despite there being adequate oil in the crankcase. There are a variety of recalls/TSBs beyond just the airbags, such as the excessive oil consumption, which must be attended to. The real world gas mileage is around 20 mpg, so it isn’t the best, and it requires Premium fuel only. Aside from these and other similar issues, the ZDX is a pleasant car to drive. I also think the design has aged well, considering that some folks think it is a new Acura model, despite it being ten years old.
