Super AWD

Plenty of room, fantastic handling and traction in snow and all wet roads. Very quiet interior due to the acoustic glass. Firm but comfortable ride and lots of power from the V-6. MPG on highway as high as 28 mpg if driven sensibly.

2016 Acura MDX SH-AWD with Technology and Entertainment package has been very good so far: My overall experience with Autonation, Stevens Creek has also been very good, very friendly staff. The salesman Mr Allen Kim was very helpful so does the finance person Mr Christian. If you happen to decide to buy Acura buy it from Autonation, Stevens Creek and ask for Allen Kim. The car itself is very spacious, nice / plush interiors and I like the push-button gear shift once I got used to this. +Good Performance +Overall comfort +Excellent safety +120V AC supply in the rear console is very good and handy on the go. Cons: -Cruise control is not as smooth and speed is not constant when the roads have elevation. -Navigation is slow/un-intuitive. -Glove box illumination works only when the engine is ON -Third row leg space is okay for kids and bit jammed for adults but for the price/size, I guess this is okay. I was also considering Audi Q7 but I think I made a good decision to stick with Acura MDX due to its looks and features. Few things Acura could improve further, given that this is the "Entertainment package" trim: 1. USB port could also have supported the rear video playback (ex: AVI/MP4) 2. Similarly, instead of decade old audio/video jack ports in the rear video in/out, they could have included the HDMI port or maybe another USB port. 3. Could have included the BluRay disk drive instead of the previous/old generation DVD optical drive for the rear video playback 4. I hope / expect to see if Acura could fix or improve any of these and also consider adding "Car Play" integration in forthcoming firmware upgrade.

There is a touch of lag from hitting the gas pedal to kicking in - but once kicked in it really goes! Turning radius is a bit large and difficult to judge turn into tight places. I find myself re-parking to get in between the stripes in parking lots quite often Required oil changes are few. I purchased a maintenance plan/extended warranty but it really wasn't needed The built in GPS is poor, even when updated (which is expensive). Google does a much better job and I rarely use the included GPS Been 7 years owning it now with just one unscheduled service needed. Just doing as the reminders tell me to do and it runs like new. Of course, I am retired, so not really putting on the miles The premium gas is a pain in the backside - exactly where my wallet is, so when I can, we use the wife's Toyota Camry which uses regular
