A-Spec Spot On

2019 Acura MDX SH-AWD A-Spec 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

This is my 5th Acura and second MDX. For the money, I think Acura offers a better value in the luxury market, especially versus the German competition. The latest A-Spec model features many sporty upgrades and looks hot to trot! The lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control make this a driver-less car for all practical purposes. The cruise is a bit slow to adapt especially when cars in front brake or speed up rapidly. It’s hardly a significant concern, however. The interior of the car is spacious and luxurious, the suede like leather is an eye catching upgrade. The Krell sound system rocks on, especially with advanced engineered CD’s - remember them? The Super Handling AWD is a must for every driving circumstance and performs especially well in higher speed cornering. A dynamic control feature allows the drive to shift between 3 drive modes. The Sport mode offers excellent acceleration, responsive steering and enhanced torque in the the S-AWD. The rear cargo space is spacious and fits all my baseball gear, lawn chairs, and coolers so my junk in the trunk has plenty of room to share the ride. Getting into and out of the 3rd row seating was made easier but automatic seat control buttons accessible to both passengers in the rear 3rd row seats and from the second row. The brake hold feature is a must have on every new car I’ll ever buy in the future. It enables me to take my foot off the brake after a complete stop. This saves the wear and tear on my leg. Overall a 5 star car!

For the money, this can’t be beat. Got a FWD Tech for nearly $10k off sticker. That’s Honda Toyota Hyundai Kia money for a luxury brand. Inner snob is satisfied. The only bad is the transmission. It’s not awful, but sometimes in the 40-50 range it just can’t decide what gear to take and it’s sometimes awkward and jerky. Solution - cruise control only at higher speeds. Also wish I’d sprung for the advance pkg in order to Get cooled seats and heated steering wheel. Features our old Kia minivan had. But power memory steering wheel is a real plus. More good: Infotainment. It gets a bad rap, but with Apple CarPlay on top, you’ll never need the janky outdated factory Navi (except as a backup when there’s no cell signal), and the bottom screen shows the audio. Easy peasy. It’s auto climate control and the temp +\- toggle switches are great. Sound system is pretty good too. The transmission- in the mountains in sport mode, it was telepathic. Held lower gears both up and downhill, I didn’t have to ride the brakes. Played with the paddles some but it wasn’t even necessary. Was SO FUN in the twisties, felt like my good old Accord but bigger and more powerful. Such a blast on our summer vacation in Colorado. Fuel economy - not bad, 19ish avg mixed, 25 over a long hot fast 2100 mile road trip. Had I stayed in the 70s mph, would have been high 20s mpg, but I was making good time with cruise at 88 (in a 75 zone). Great cruiser, could be a bit quieter but the comfort and handling are very good. —- 20k mile update, largely unchanged. Slightly awkward transmission is still odd once in a while but no major complaints. Spent a week in the mountains and Sport mode was perfectly intuitive, I gave up on the paddle shifters because they were so rarely needed. Had a blast driving hard on windy roads. Oil changes are messy because of the filter placement, but that’s only a problem if you DIY. Still very happy with the car.

Very happy with our purchase. We purchased a 2019 MDX SH-AWD Standard package. We did not need the upgraded Tech package since 2019 MDX has apple car play. We really like all the safety features in AcuraWatch, was a major factor for us. Just finished an 800 mile road trip and at the end of the drive, we didn’t feel like we have been on a long trip. The ride was so nice, comfortable and quiet...it’s like the car drives you. We looked at all the major players, and for the price we were able to get it for, it was an easy decision. Our first Acura and our first “luxury” car and couldn’t be happier. Buy an MDX for less than a highlander, um yes please. The MDX handles like a car, fun to drive if you want it to be, but plush and comfy as well. All this with a 3rd row for our 2 kiddos and stuff. Highly recommended the MDX.

I was looking for a vehicle that could seat 5 comfortably, but with optional seating for more. I also wanted a 6 cylinder engine. The turbo charged 4 cylinder engines seem great, but I don't think there is enough data to prove their long term benefits. I drive my cars into the ground, so I want a car that will last for at least 10 years. The MDX has everything I want. The 50/50 split 3rd row seat allows for a comfortable seat while also providing ample cargo space. I have owned my MDX for about 6 weeks and couldn't be happier.

My husband and I recently bought this car because we have a little one on the way and we’ve been frustrated and disappointed ever since. The car drives fine- very smooth and nice acceleration- but the rest of it is just NOT user friendly at all. I don’t know how the entertainment system was even allowed to be designed the way it is. The buttons on the screen are tiny. It’s so challenging to navigate when it should be straightforward. It’s even hard to change things like volume and air conditioner speed- things you don’t want to be worrying about while driving. My phone will connect to Bluetooth but not import my phone book for voice activation, which is the main point. Apparently this has been an ongoing issue for others as well, so be aware if you’re thinking about buying this car. I’ve tried contacting Acura support for help multiple times and each time I have to hang up after being on hold for thirty minutes. So, service is apparently terrible as well. For as much money as we spent on this “luxury” brand, I would expect so much more!!!
