Great SUV for the money

Recently purchased the AWD MDX with Technology (2 yrs old and 3700 miles- what a find) and could not be more satisfied. The ONLY this I would improve on is the auto shifting from 1st to 2nd gear- not as smooth as it could be. The only change I would like (for me) is making the third room seating optional- would like the extra storage. My previous vehicle was a 2015 lexus 350 which I loved. Therefore I was somewhat hesitant to change to an Acura - what I found was the Acura is more comfortable, quicker, and much more pleasurable to drive. I must say I am surprised - but thrilled!

The BEST SUV Go-Cart money can buy

I love my MDX except for the transmission and the “feature” that turns off the engine upon stopping. The salesman told me that feature can be turned off in the system settings but it can not be. It can be turned off every time the vehicle is started but it’s extremely annoying do that. If that’s a feature then a tooth ache is enjoyable. I’m not sure what Honda is doing with this 9-speed transmission but it’s horrible. When I was a kid we used to make go-carts and have pulleys and belts with bailing wire holding everything together. The go-card would jump and jerk to get up to speed. And often slip and be unpredictable. That’s what this 9-speed transmission reminds me of except it’s in a $55K vehicle. Ridiculous!

Comfortable and Athletic

I got this car new for my wife. She loves it. I drive it occasionally and on long trips. It feels athletic and light on its feet for such a big car. Her previous car was an Audi Q5 Quattro. That was a great car, but we both like her MDX better. The Audi had the Bang and Olufsen sound system. It was really good but the Acura ELS is a step above. I have the Harman Kardon in my BMW, and I like my wife’s ELS more. Our only complaint is the address entry in the nav is clunky and slow.

I love my MDX so far, I bought it in May 2020 and I love the ride it rides like a luxury car, the comfort and space love it.. I would highly recommend the Acura MDX.
