Used 2014 Acura MDX Technology Package 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Great except.....
After driving a Chevy Suburban for 18 years I am loving the smaller car with its handling and better gas mileage. I purchased the MDX over the competitors because of the reputation for reliability and because I found it more comfortable than the other cross overs. My one complaint though is that when I open the sunroof I get the smell of burnt rubber or something that immediately comes in the car. At first I thought it was sucking in exhaust but I think the smell is coming up the windshield and into the car. The dealership said it is the smell of the new engine and that after 4-5K miles it will go away but I am not sure. 2k miles and it still does it. Anyone else experiencing this smell???
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
This 2014 MDX, purchased in 10/2013, has been a very dependable vehicle. It has been used for long trips, over 500 mi, short trips, 80 to 100 mi, short trips, 25 to 30 mi, and just around town. Going to golf courses, going to Big Box stores, picking up and toting gardening supplies, flowers, plants, small trees and shrubs. Very adaptable. Very reliable. Very comfortable. Then, a flat tire. Had to replace two original tires, Continentals, with two Firestone tires. Now the vehicle has annoying, maybe serious, vibrations. Firestone has checked their tires, the alignment, etc. Vibrations still occur at 65 to 75 mph. Can the car be blamed for this problem, getting a flat tire? Can the tire manufacturers be blamed? Acura dealership serviced the MDX, changed oil, rotated tires, balanced and aligned wheels, and the car travels like brand new. Service at local Firestone shop was the problem. Not too good.

Beware
The 2014 Acura MDX is my third MDX and my last! The build quality and fit and finish was so bad that even after two dealer service visits, many items are still unacceptable. Based on the build quality alone, Acura is no longer a premium car manufacturer. The design and engineering of the technology package is not user friendly and certainly not intuitive. Losing the weather information is a major backward step. The noise from the injectors, the noise from the steering wheel, the noise from the lift cylinder are unacceptable. The dealer says these are "just the way it is on this vehicle." I have 3000 miles on this vehicle and I am looking to trade. I am really disappointed in Acura. UPDATE...I traded this pos in with 4000 miles on it. It remains the worst vehicle I ever owned.

The perfect car
I bought my 14 MDX Tech (no AWD) last week and have driven 1000 miles already. AVERAGE MPG: 29!!!!!!!!!!!! Two other people in the car. Not even broken in yet. Driving at 65 to 75 mph. Incredible ride, ridiculous technology, insane value compared to the it peers, which are the Audi Q7, BMW X5, Mercedes GL450.
