Don't penny pinch on a premium brand

2014 Acura MDX Technology Package 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

We bought the 2014 MDX 2WD with Tech Package. The car looks & drives great and we are very happy about our purchase (well, almost). We have been a Honda owner for over 20 years and this is our 1st Acura. We were told by the dealer the 2WD model doesn't come with a spare tire, instead it has an emergency repair kit. OK, we can live without the spare tire. But, upon returning home, I discovered they also don't include a tire wrench or a jack. Are you kidding me Acura?!! Do you really need to save that extra $1.50 on a $50K LUXURY car? I guess it is hard for you to imagine that some of your Acura owners may still want to do some maintenance work themselves. I feels being nickel & dime'd by you!

Be warned that there is no spare tire on some models. I found out the hard way that Acura has put in a tire inflator/gel rather than a spare tire. What should have been a 15 minute tire change turned out into a 5 hours ordeal where Acura wanted me to have the car towed to a dealership because the puncture on my tire was larger than "nail" size. What would have happened if I was on a road trip with no acura dealership near by because Acura road side service will only tow to an Acura dealership? If you don't tow to a dealership YOU pay to have it towed. A car that nearly costs 50K should have a spare tire/donut.

Diappointed and mislead

We purchased a 2014 Acura MDX 2WD. It has a harsh and noisy ride over bumps. This is due to the light suspension and the light rear end. If you accept more bounce and are indifferent to thumping noises you will be OK. Our dealer suggested riding around with a 50lb bag of dog food to help quieten. Also, notice the resistance when the engine downshifts. Our biggest objection is the Dealer, Gary Force Acura in Brentwood Tennessee, mislead us by putting us in an AWD model for our two test drives. We thought we were buying a much smoother and quiet vehicle. Either way, I would not recommend this vehicle. Based on price you can do much better purchasing another vehicle.

This SUV will satisfy so many things a family or just two people would want in a vehicle that meets so many needs such as comfort in that long trip, carrying passengers, kids and their friends, that 4X8 sheet of plywood and great navigation and entertainment center.

Tech package does not work in Arizona heat

Brakes disks get damaged from heat, car vibrates when you brake, radiator leak after 30000 miles and Acura refused to fix under warranty saying it was damaged by a small stone hit from the road. I have news for you, Acura, Arizona is hot, cars radiator should be protected by design, and brake disks should not heat up and bend from normal driving.
