Best Luxury in his class.
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.
Great Car - But be aware
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.

Great car, lousy Nav/Ent/Voice System
I have had my '14 MDX (white Advance) since June and now have over 13K miles. I love the way the car drives. But the Nav, voice command and entertainment software is sub-par and of poor quality. Poor support for Apple products. Poor voice command (fewer commands then other vehicles, some commands don't work, etc.), very poor Nav display (not clear, doesn't work with polarized glasses.) Again, for a vehicle of this size it handles well and is fun to drive. Good use of interior space. Comfortable enough though the driver seat could use some more adjustment options. LKAS, AAC, CAS, BSI pretty cool. Nav/Voice/Entertainment very disappointing.
Not as happy with this model
I purchased the 2014 MDX new and have been the only driver -- just now has a little over 20K miles (the little 'ol lady owner joke :-) Anyway, I too had the squeal of the steering column whenever the temps were hot or cold. It took several trips to the dealer (which is a long drive from my home) before the column would make the noise for the service department techs -- service department finally acknowledged they'd had others with the same problem. Now 2 yrs later, steering feels like something is loose and so now back to the dealer I go. I'm very disappointed in the braking system. The rotors are bad. It is disappointing I have to have those worked on since the car does not get driven much/brakes aren't used much (no issues with my 2011). I'm disappointed I cannot use car play because honda won't/can't offer a software update for "older models". I don't like the touch screen and the voice recognition works only when it wants to (my 2011 has this same problem), and sometimes the Bluetooth for phone goes crazy and won't recognize my phone. I purchased this MDX because I own a 2011 MDX and am pleased with it. It too has low miles. It is used in mountain driving and handles superbly in the snow, down the mountain, etc. Will keep the 2011 but looking at the Subaru Ascent to replace the 2014 MDX. I'm sure there are other small issues with the 2014 that I'm not remembering now. Maybe I just got a lemon.
