Rear differential fluid must be changed every 7k miles! It used to be every 70k miles! This will run you about $300 at the dealer who is the only one recommended to do it. Premium gas is recommended. The car is sluggish with economy gas. I use plus gas. The car does jerk a little in the lower gears when pressing on the gas but could be due to gas quality. There tends to be some dust when I turn on the fan. Passengers will usually cough or sniffle when the air is on. The air quality and airflow is bad even with a new filter. The front seats are heated, the rear seats are not heated. It would be nice if all seats are heated. Headlights are nice and bright and have a cool design. The armrest on the driver's side door is a little hard. It's very uncomfortable. This SUV is overpriced in my opinion at 50K. Safety radar / collision detection feature is very useful! Rear seats are not comfortable and padding is thin. Too many recalls on this vehicle. American made Acuras don't carry the same quality as Japanese made Acuras. I don't recommend this vehicle.

We've had our 2018 MDX for about seven months, and have taken it on five road trips. It replaced a 2010 RL, which in turn replaced a 2005 RL. We like practically everything about the car except the adaptive cruise control (which picks up large trucks in the lane immediately to our right), the dimmed rear view mirror, and-significant blind spots only partly mitigated by the blind spot monitoring system. However, the big turn-off is the navigation system's traffic information. Both the 2005 and 2010 RLs had the identical system, backed by XM radio based traffic info. The MDX traffic is HD radio-based, and at least in Arizona, California, and Oregon, is spotty-some places it works some days. Other days, it doesn't work in the same places. Why, oh why, did they replace a functioning delivery system with a defective one?

After owning an unreliable Gl550 resulting in over 5,000 dollars for repair, I decided our family should switch to something more reliable. While the Lexus RX was a solid choice it was slow and the lower trim levels was not really nice. I heard about Acura and thought I should check it out. Overall I am glad with my choice not only because of the lower price, but because of the reliability. This car feels upscale, not cheap. The only downside was the Acura dealers. The service is not very good.

Apple iphone does not work. Downloaded the phone contact list multiple times and after contacting the dealer 8 was told that the latest IOS upgrade is not supported by the car. Ha e to wait for another upgrade and hope it works.

Sluggish and Noisy

Car is slow and jerky in accelerating from 1st to 2nd gear. Is also extremely noisy at highway speed in above normal windy conditions. A clanking sound from underneath engine is quite common. Dealers reinforced sound deadening strips around doors and windows but noise can still be heard. Would not recommend this car.
