Come for the Honda badge, walk away before you buy

You will hate the center console that slides back and forth, and the stereo that beeps on every button push is trash. Transmission can never decide what gear it wants to be in. They also charge a $700 upgrade for autostart. This isn't a KIA. This car also has more rattles that have to be addressed.. Shouldn't have to bring a new car in for them to fix rattling Chinese plastic. Wish we would of bought another Tahoe.

Love the car, though it has only been a month. For price the fit and finish is fantastic and the active safety features are very good. Electronics are good, though some are tricky to learn.

My MDX top rear spoiler is damaged and when I went for a replacement, there is no spoiler available in entire USA and Acura wearhouse. They can't guarantee when it will be avialable. It might be 1 month , 2 months or a year. Such is the service of Acura. It's really frustrated my that they can't maintain parts inventory.

Steering Handling Extremely Poor

Just bought my 2017 Acura MDX. The steering wheel has a huge amount of play. Told service department about the problem, they told me that was normal in this model. When i test drove a similar model the steering was much tighter. Didn't test drive this vehicle b/4 purchase. I would expect something like this in a very low-end vehicle. This disfunction is going to hurt Acura and future sales.

Worst Vehicle I ever had

Do not buy this car, save money and buy something else. Car makes lot of noise when driving and when gear change. GPS and Voice controls are garbage totally unusable. you won't find 90% of address. Voice controls are a joke. New vehicle sounds and feels different then a vehicle with 1000 miles. Vehicle mileage is worst, city mileage and highway mileage is very bad. DO NOT BUY THIS Car

Live Traffic is Awful - Hate that it was changed

I've been a fan of the MDX - it's my 3rd. They just changed the live traffic from Sirius or Acura link based to HD radio based. I live in Charleston SC and there IS NO station that has it = NO TRAFFIC. Bait and switch. DO NOT BUY this model if you need the traffic as I do. It's comfortable, gets good mileage but isn't peppy. Update 9/20 I don’t use console at all just my phone.

We just acquired a new MDX from Bloomington Acura and Edward Kaspustin. A truly great buying experience. Edward spent a great deal of time before and after the purchase going over the MDX and its features and followed up after the purchase to see how it was performing and how we liked the vehicle. Outstanding

I researched car thoroughly test drove several models including comparable vehicles of other companies. Hands down the MDX delivers all I ever wanted & more. The hybrid is really great on gas, acceleration is great into the highway & has great interior design of dash & seating & leg room. Over the top pleased I chose the Hybrid Advanced model.
