Build quality is poor for a premium SUV

2014 MDX is a huge deal for Acura as over 40% of revenue comes from MDX sales but the overall execution is poor. First issue is not necessarily a bad design, but build quality of SUV that is made in America. If this SUV were built better, there would be a lot less complaint and more appraises but unfortunately, it does not represent a premium SUV class at all. Overall cost cutting also shows how much Acura cut material cost to save money in several areas for loyal Acura owners will realize rather quickly. After first three months and 2400 miles later, the ultimate question remains. Will you buy this SUV again? My answer would be "probably not" I have owned many Acura but this is the worst.

I have had the 2014 MDX since the first day it went on sale. I was following this car since it started the road test on Germany. No disapointment yet. I got the top trim with SH-AWD. My first trip on the hightway the MDX averaged 31.4 MPG, no cruise control, I was speeding around 67 to 70 MPH, a long road trip this weekend average city and highway 28 MPG, so I'm happy so far with this. One of the tech parts I most love is the ACC and LKAS, this is basically a self driving car, a small touch to the weel from time to time is the only thing you have to do. The Aha service provided with Acura-Link is not as responsive as I expected. The interior is comfortable, quiet, and well-crafted.

Car is great overall! Be sure to check for covered recalls and ensure the electronic transmission has been evaluated. Absolutely no problems with transmission after fix.

Love our 2014 MDX

Bought our 14 MDX in October and have driven about 5,000 flawless miles. We have had a lot of winter weather lately and the MDX does great on snow and ice. We are pleased with fuel economy for a vehicle this large. This is my wife's car primarily and she drives like she's running from the law - still averaging about 22 mpg in mix of city/highway. Only complaint is that touchscreen seems difficult to use as compared to simply having a knob or a switch. But all cars seem to be going the touch screen direction. Also wish Acura didn't do quite so much bundling of packages. Would have purchased the tech package but I am not a fan of the navigation system. Overall, very pleased.

Disappointed

If you want a pretty vehicle that vibrates while driving, then this is your vehicle. I have now owned this vehicle for 7 months. The vehicle has been in the shop multiple times for a strong vibration in the front left of the vehicle, and it will repeat over and over at a constant speed on the highway. It feels like I am driving on a rumble strip. An Acura Rep came and saw my vehicle and told me it is a normal function when the vehicle changes from 3 to 6 cylinders. Acura is aware of it and they do not plan on fixing it. I have driven other vehicles with fuel saving systems, and you don't hear or feel it switching cylinders. I am so disappointed that they find this acceptable.
