FWD no longer standard. Active suspension no longer standard. Push button shifter awful. Nav system not upgraded for years. Transmission hunts and pecks. Fit/finish not impressive. Looks good but the quality and driving experience has headed south from prior MDX models. Honda has lost the Acura formula. Things like the upgraded wheels on the Advance model of the MDX can be seen on Honda Pilots an Accords. Acura is no longer a luxury line of vehicles.

I’m so glad I leased. Beware

First off. This 9 speed transmission is absolutely horrible. Driving on the street it does not know what gear it should be in at all and the car literally jerks back and forth as the gears shift extremely rough. Coming to a stop at a stop light the car jerks as it shifts gears down. Then stepping on the gas at a green light and be careful you don’t smash into the car in front of you as the car stumbles into 1st gear and jerks and shoots you forward into second. Then second jerks the car into third. It’s absolutely horrible and very frustrating. I leased this car brand new in December and took it to the dealer two days ago in March. The dealer told me this is normal. When I reverse I hear a loud pop as if I ran over a plastic bottle. This is every time I reverse and again the dealer told me it’s normal. The Bluetooth connectivity is a joke because nothing works besides my music in my phone. Pandora doesn’t work, text message retrieval doesn’t work, Hell most of the time it won’t connect to my phone unless I go into my phone and connect to AcuraLink. I’m very dissapointed with the mdx and Acura overall. I won’t be buying another Acura. I will go back to bmw or Mercedes maybe even Land Rover when this lease is up. Acura is supposed to be a luxury brand but from my experience with them vs my experience with Mercedes, Lexus, bmw, and Cadillac. Acura has a lot to learn about being a luxury brand. I’m highly highly dissatisfied and await for the day I return this car and get a true luxury suv with a brand that stands behind their products.

Definitely a reliable safe SUV that you can depend on for years. Great price point that you can't pass up. Although Acura puts out great reliable cars I always purchase the extended warranty from either the dealer or credit union.

The car looks great inside and out but the ride is horrific. You feel every bump even little ones and it shakes you around. The second row can make you seasick and has for passengers. The third row is not for sitting I just use it for cargo space. The air-conditioning can be improved. My daughter has a 2008 and it has served her well for reliability and longevity and safety and is much more comfortable seats than mine. Having the cooling system in it makes the seats harder and smaller. No this is not a car I would say you have to have. Very disappointing. After a year I have not changed my mind on the car. It still has a rough ride and the front seat is still hard. If I wouldn't loose so much money I would trade it in and go with the car I had before a Toyota Highlander.
