Better Than My 2011 MDX, But Not Perfect

Purchased a 2020 Acura MDX in June 2020. While some features are better than my 2015 MDX, some are not. Gas mileage is about the same, approximately 20 mpg around town and 28 on the highway. Acura still recommends using 91 octane or higher fuel. Like my 2015 MDX, occasionally and without reason, the brake warning flashes; not a big issue, just annoying. The engine cutoff while idling is annoying, as well, although it is a fuel saving measure. The GPS is still poor. Honestly, a smart phone with a GPS app is far better. Info screens are not intuitive. This may be the last year of the current MDX design, so perhaps my nitpicks will be addressed in the re-design. Finally, the cargo area seems smaller, but still larger than others in its class. Overall, still a good vehicle, just not perfect . . . yet.

Buyers remorse

I had my MDX for just a few weeks and the warning lights started going off for tire pressure, check engine, and a few other things. Brought it in and it had a computer reset. That seemed to help but come on! The computer, nav and radio voice commands are not very intuitive. You have to memorize a text book to make it functional...no thanks! I just got a "recall" notice in the mail I have been waiting for and it is just for the radio, nav and phone, not to address the other computer problem. Lastly, I get flashed every time I drive at night because the headlights Blind Every Oncoming Car...What a 50K dollar pain in the Butt!

Wonderful SUV just like my previous 2! Bought a 2014 Tech realized how much I wanted the features of the advance so a year later I bought another one and I must say no problems at all, and every possible luxury feature I could ever hope for! I am an Acura client for life!

Not so great

OK, was expecting much more for 50 grand. Biggest disappointment is nav-still use my phone, yet paid big bucks for what I thought would be luxurious, it is cumbersome & unuseful- never never use, sad technology. Radio reception can be shaky, connection light goes in & out(including volumn)-I live in metro area & should be clear as a bell. I am frustrated because what I read was so stellar on the MDX, car of the year. I realize I am fussy but I thought I was paying for that. Not so. Also don't like I can not have digital speedometer, only old school dash-not sure what happened here but I am wanted high end luxury, you can't even tell what kind of car it is from the side. I literally was confused when I first bought this car- is it too much to ask to put ACURA or MDX on the side of a car--CARS LOOK SO MUCH ALIKE FROM THE SIDE- WHITE SUV---MAKE IT SPECIAL--DUUH. Do not feel special in the least driving this car, what has happened to that's a cool looking car. Bottom line I would not have spent the extra money on an acura, it's not that great. Unfortunately, this is my dream car for a long time. What I like is the engine it does have power, but- the keyless entry is defective too- at times I have to find the fob to lock or unlock-perfection has not been found in the 2015 MDX in my opinion, what's better? that verdict is out

very noisy cabin,very poor electronics,etc.radio,stereo,navigation,overall all electronics is very poor.very,very poor suspension,when you hit the smallest pot hole at a very low speed it sound like the tire is coming in the cabin to join you.very loud road noise.no sound barriers or noise insulation installed in vehicle.for the price of these vehicles you should have a much quietier ride.i owned o cadilac srx before purchasing the acura and my butt is so sore from kicking it for buying this over priced,over rated vehicle.beware buyers do not buy an acura mdx. I am very honest
