Used 2015 Acura MDX SUV Consumer Reviews
Worst purchase ever
Brought a brand new car and paid $70K on only to spend an additional 30K in repairs over last 8 years. We are at 90K miles and now a transmission failure. Installed remote start which quit working after first year. Battery kept dying since leaving the fob in the car was wrong to do and the Acura dealer service team couldn’t figure out the issue. A local mechanic did. Car has been a headache from day 1 and continues to be the same. Never ever buying an acura

The best SUV money can buy
I've owned several Acura's and this is the best yet. The power and how the vehicle handles is amazing. Extremely quiet, spacious with amazing technology. Test drove every luxury brand and my decision remained the same. The seats are like heaven and I just love the stereo. Took her on a trip across country and wanted to just keep on driving. Really a fun to drive SUV. Added fog lights and trailer hitch and can tow the required 5K pounds (more than what I need).

It's on the inside what matter
The 2015 Acura MDX is not a "flashy" car to the normal eye but certainly does hold its own against other luxury SUV. Handling is very light but easy to get used to. The interior is where the MDX shines, materials are very nice inside and easily accessible however having the tech package you certainly must be good with today's technology because at certain points it can feel overwhelming. Road quality if very nice as well, having owned the Audi Q7 it is very comparable. However only having 15,000 miles I cannot touch base on reliability quite yet.
Accelerate
Make sure test drive and pay attention to the acceleration. The speed dropped quickly causing the driver and passengers whiplash unexpected.

Nice and Fast
We purchased a 2015 Tech FWD model in the Fall of 2014 and despite negative reviews I've since read, have had no problems at all. I take it in religiously every 5000 miles for the oil change / tire rotation and whatever else is required all at the dealer. I have a lifetime alignment package from Firestone so a couple of times a year I take it over to be sure all is well as far as alignment is concerned. There have been a couple of recalls handled by Acura but our MDX so far has been unaffected by the notifications. I like it because it's quick, comfortable, especially for passengers in the second row (never used the third row) and has decent cargo space. The negatives would be the actual amount of space for cargo (would like more) and the Acura/Honda info system is weird and not easy to use at all. This is our second MDX the first being a 2011 and what sold me is that you can use regular fuel in this model (although they suggest premium) and the mileage is great 23/28. Five years and no engine performance issues at all on regular. Since it was expensive to purchase, I plan to drive this one for a few more years.
