Love the car but leaving from a stop its slow to go. Jerks coming out of first into second. Disappointing. Drove another mdx and it was ok so the problem is with mine. Dealership said it seemed fine but its not.

Nice Car-Could Be Better

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?

One Of The Best Midsize Luxury SUV’s

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.

When start backing or forward clicking break noise uncomfortable for 60k suv we brought to the dealer said the break clicking noise is normal. So I have to listen this noise forever? They said sorry YES because the manifactor doesn't want to recall
