That is it a gas hog and that it does pretty good in the snow.
It is spacious and fast. I like the fact that it is has a back camera. The only dislike is the premium gas.
accountCircle Lindy M
A vehicle fit for performance.
My vehicle has shawd which makes turning very smooth. Seat warmers, great navigational aid, fold-down back seats. The only con is it is not for very tall individuals; the back is low and a bit tight, due to the trunks small size. Also this vehicle eats a lot of gas. Drives perfectly in snowy conditions as well.

The seats are really comfortable.
My Acura is really great on gas mileage on the highway and on city streets or country roads. My car handles really well around sharp turns. The oil change has been changed on time every year since 2012. The sunroof did stop working on me do to malfunction in the slider bars.

Subpar rear-seat and cargo space. Poor rear visibility. New for 2013.
The Acura zdx has an upscale interior, athletic handling, and a comfortable ride. However, Its limited rear-seat space, cargo room, and rear visibility demote this luxury SUV to the middle of Its class. Balanced ride and handling. Strong V6 engine. Quality interior materials. Subpar rear-seat and cargo space. Poor rear visibility. New for 2013. Final model year. Parking sensors and lane departure warning available.

Performs really well, great gas mileage. I can whip her all day long and keep it in great shape, very durable and good for more than just the road.
I love my car it's pretty fast and very smooth and just feels good to drive

Gas mileage is not up to standards.
I have had no real problems so far but one of my main concerns is with the gas mileage. I am spending way too much for way too little! I can drive maybe 30 miles and it will be showing empty after putting $20 in just earlier. A big plus side to the car though, are the cup holders.

It is a comfortable car that has a luxurious feel to it.
It is a beautiful vehicle with tolerant gas mileage there are just certain things I do not like about the car in general. I tend to work on my cars myself and it is just different under the hood than most cars I work on. Overall a great vehicle and I would buy another one.

Acura sporty and functional.
It is a solid care pretty basic but does the job and looks sporty for this size of car would likely recommend this car have not had major issues with it. I may have to get a larger car in the future when I get kids but overall the car is good and functional and I often get compliments on it.

My vehicle does not look nice but it gets me to where I have to be.
When it gets cold out the engine squeaks and there’s a piece of the car scraped bad on the right side. The car itself is somewhat reliable. The battery has died twice in the past two years though. The breaks of the car had to get fixed a few months ago because they weren't working properly.

It is an good car if you're going to use it only for work and home, if your going on a road trip I wouldn't recommend it.
I like my car a lot because it was my first car, as it was my first car it had problems to. Sometimes the car would break down and I would have to call a tow to take the car. Another problem is that the car has its abs engine flashing.
accountCircle Brandy B
