The “drive” is quite nice. smooth albeit a bit firm for a luxury vehicle although mine is deemed a sport model so I guess I should expect to give a little on the comfort. The front seat is really an unfortable piece of work. Limit of adjustment and steering wheel make this a never ending quest for comfort. The firmness factor is unbearable for any drive over 30 minutes. Not suitable for a 6 ft person. The Technology is total mess. While the world is racing to compete with advanced user interfaces like Apple and Android, for some insane reason this cludge of function is reminiscent of a Dos computer. A night time drive was out right dangerous with distraction of radio controls buried in a mess of heater, ac, seat, presets, tuning, and an array of hard buttons and knobs, each with multiple degrees of function. 6 steps required to change map orientation from North to direction of travel. ?? Are you kidding... Fit and finish one glaring miss aligned fuel door jump out at you and the service manager said they’re all like that with no fix in site.. Overhead control panel has me constantly calling Acura link or emergency when simply trying to open the garage. Net.. a nice platform with 1980’s implementation. Way overpriced for this awful level of refinement. The pilot and odessey have both abandoned the two display infotainment system along with the rest of the industry. . Update..basically reaffirm the above but I would add the 2018 finally added CarPlay but the goofy two display has not yet caught up to the Pilot and the depreciation is far beyond disappointing. Much worse than expected.

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.

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.
