First Acura...Impressed!

Only few negatives to get out of the way... Coming from the German SUVs including the last one being a Cayenne, I would say the handling is on the "comfort" side. And the center cluster is just way too cluttered for any standard. Nevertheless, MDX makes up with enough grunt for such a heavy car and an exceptional value, especially w tech/ent that was by far the best deal compared with any comps, including JX. Very comfortable cruiser with ample room and storage and awesome audio too. We will continue to monitor if the Acura reliability is what people say it is....

Everything about my MDX speaks luxury, from the Led headlights , my 19inch stoke rimes to the Acura emblems. I truly enjoy the power &beauty of my MDX. I'll keep this one as long as she will have me. Then I'll purchase another one. Thank you Acura for building such a wonderful SUV crossover!

Oil Burner

We did the oil consumption test through our local Acura dealer. It was determined that 1 quart of oil lose in 1000 miles is within industry standards. Maybe back in 1945. We were very disappointed. I would stay away from this automobile. We sold it for a loss to Carmax. I just couldn't sell a broken car to a friend or another person. Carmax knew what they we getting.

I've had my 2012 MDX for two full years now (and 25,000 miles) and it's definitely a mixed bag. I like the way it handles and with room for 7 or 5 and lots of gear it's certainly fit the bill of people hauler and long road trip mule, but for $45k, I expected better--better quality and reliability. I have driven the 2015 model and there are some improvements, but there are too many issues with this vehicle to recommend it highly. I plan to sell it and consider other options.
