The rear USB ports are perilously close to the rear drinks holders and unprotected from even the slightest spill. My young boy spilt no more than a straw full of liquid but it was enough to completely short the electronics and completely incapacitate the car and render it undriveable. After a four figure repair sum Acura client relations were rude and completely unsympathetic. Will be the last Acura I ever buy - sticking with Lexus from now on. Shame because the car actually drives great, but doesn't have the attention to detail of other luxury brands.

I owned a 2009 MDX which I bought brand new and loved it for 12 yrs. Wanted to get into a newer one and purchased a used 2018 MDX FWD. I soon realized what others were talking about with the blurry windshield. It’s awful! It’s blurry around the entire perimeter of the windshield, but is most noticeable on both the left and right sides so making a turn gives you an uneasy feeling of not knowing just how close you are to a corner or possibly a person standing there. The worst is driving around a parking lot looking for a spot. Full on nausea can take over and a headache too. I was so upset by this and even more so when I found out from the dealership that all the MDX’s have this issue because it’s the way it’s designed. So I held on to the car not wanting to take a loss and hoped I could get used to the problem. I gave it 6 months and traded it in for a 2019 RDX which I love. So please, if you are considering a 2017 MDX or newer, really see if you can handle the design of the blurriness around the perimeter of the windshield.

Plenty of room and easy to load. Drives like a dream on the highway. Last trip 27 mph during 250 mile trip from New Jersey to Ma.

I don't have any complaints. We've had ours 2.5 years and only very minor recall issues. I see some complaints on this site but none of our friends have had issues with theirs.
