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

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.

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

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.
