Pleased with the decision on MDX
Overall the SH-AWD MDX is an impressive 7 passenger SUV. The engine is the long tried and trusted SOHC V6 that’s been around for a long time and proven itself. It’s poweband is well-mated to the ZF 9-speed’s ratios. The engine is smooth through the rev range but really comes on at and above 4000. It also emits a pretty refined but aggressive snarl, backing up the performance image Acura is hoping to convey. The ride is composed yet slanted towards comfort and not so much hard core performance. The ride is unquestionably supple and very little road noise enters the cabin. By far the most impressive attribute of the MDX is its fit and finish. Equal to any European luxury SUV we’ve owned or test driven. My one wish would be to somehow better the real, day-to-day fuel efficiency. This MDX replaced an Audi Q5 TDI, which returned an average of 30+ mpg, combined (along with jet-like acceleration) and it cannot come close to the Audi’s MPG (yes not fair to compare a gasoline and diesel vehicle, I know). All told, my wife and I are very fond of our MDX.

Transmission struggles , navigation graphics poor
The navigation is poor. specially the graphics which are useless in a city with detail. Also verbal commands are slow and often non responsive. The automatic transmission struggles at speeds between 20-45 mph, It cannot decide which gear it wants to be in......disappointing since this was supposed to be greatly improved.

Second MDX is better than the first
This car is great value for $50,000. My only possible concern is that there are no warning sensors for getting too close while parking. And, that’s why I spent $500 to replace the rear tail light the truck hit
two month review
Me and my wife really like this new vehicle. This is my first Acura and I was a bit hesitant about this car due to some negative reviews on shifting issues on previous designs, but this car has been great and we are very pleased with the quality.

My first True lemon
The 9 speed transmission was the worst I have ever experienced. Intermittently it would engage at startup and lunge forward. Fortunately your foot was on the brake. while driving, it would not disengage until you braked.. I had dash photos of "transmission problem" but since it did not throw a code, Acura client relations would not work with me. They could not replicate the problem at the dealer. I traded it in before the warranty was up and went back to Toyota products
