I've been doing a lot of research in the last few weeks on which SUV would be right for me. My past vehicles have been Saab, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo and Porsche. I've only owned 2 Japanese cars Honda & Subaru. I have to say all the European models were spot on as far as appearance and performance but one thing for sure expensive to own if your warranty runs out. Any repairs or service for these cars can be a huge expense (Porsche oil change $275). I normally buy my cars outright and keep them for at least 8 yrs so I asked my mechanic what he thought. He told me he's been in the auto repair business for 28 yrs and while some Euro cars are beautiful looking as far as reliability, dependability and cost efficient you cannot beat Japanese cars. After checking out Lexus, Infinity and Volvo I decided to give the MDX a test drive and was very much impressed for how much value you receive at around $10,000-$15,000 less than most European models. I've only had this car for a few weeks and I can say so far I love this car. It's spacious, looks great, handles excellently for an SUV, has many standard safety features, and has a very smooth ride. After reading some reviews on this car I was a bit hesitant about remarks on the info system being non intuitive but it really wasn't that bad at all it's amazing all the features this car has. I drive to Florida once a year and like to take a lot of road trips and now I feel confident that I can do so with worrying about high maintenance cost or finding the right facility that can service my vehicles. All in all I am very please with my purchase. I will give another update in a few months..

The MDX offers the most bang for your $

Update to the review. I’ve now had the MDX for a year and it continues to exceed my expectations. Due to Covid, I haven’t put as many miles on it as would have been, but it was still over 10,000 miles. It drives great and came in handy when taking hurricane relief supplies to my family 500 miles away in Alabama. With all seats folded, I was able to take a generator and a week’s worth of supplies, so it’s size really came in handy. Overall I continue to be extremely pleased with the MDX. I’ve owned a 2002 MDX, three Honda Pilots (2006, 2013, 2017) and they’re great SUVs. I traded my 2017 Pilot for a 2020 MDX, FWD w Technology package. The MDX is amazing. It looks fantastic and drives even better. It’s a great mix of sporty, with excellent comfort. The two screen infotainment system gets a lot of bad press, but I like it a lot. It allows me to have Apple Car Play with maps on the top screen, while showing which song I have playing on the lower screen. The single touch screen in the Pilot was excellent, but often switched to the next song, requiring me to move it back to maps on a longer trip. The dual screen MDX doesn’t require that. The MDX drives like a dream. It’s powerful and smooth. The nine speed ZF transmission has been hammered, but it seems quite smooth to me. The sport mode is especially fun, as it tightens down the steering and makes me forget I’m driving an SUV. The ELS stereo is outstanding, and as quiet as the MDX is, it allows the ELS to really shine. While I had to upgrade my Pilot with aftermarket speakers, the MDX Tech package removes the need for that. The seats are amazingly comfortable and the 14 way adjustable seats makes it feel like you’re sitting in a lounge chair. Overall, the MDX offers the most bang for the buck in the crowded luxury SUV space.

Quiet, competent, quality. All of the Honda build quality and engine excellence with more sound dampening insulation and better ride than the excellent Pilot. I like the two level screens, keeps your radio info showing on the lower screen while your phone call goes onto the upper screen. Plenty of power, never gets loud, even under full throttle acceleration. 2nd gear off the line system is smooth and quiet. I waxed the car, the paint is flawless across the body, no divots, no rough spots. Quiet sunroof at speed with the optional air deflector. I would like a roll shade over the back deck as I never use the 3rd row seats. I liked it better than the Volvo XC-90 for much less $$.

It took me a year to finally buy an Acura MDX- wanted one for a long time, but I am one that probably researches way too much and I kept seeing 2 main complaints... the 9 speed transmission and the infotainment! So far I am loving the MDX it’s super smooth! Whatever refinements have been made have seemed to work so far and I really like the 2 screen infotainment! I bought the advance AWD with Entertainment and I’m super happy- at this point... I’m still holding my breath a little hoping that I don’t have trouble with shifting, but so far it’s so smooth. The last 3 cars I’ve bought have been the last year right before a new model change and it’s worked for me... all the kinks seem to have been ironed out. I have no trouble with the touch screen AC controls ect and I pretty much do everything other than AC from the steering wheel... the main reason I went with Advance was the leather seats they are so soft and worth it to me to pay the extra for comfort! I’ve had a Lexus RX 350 and it was not near as comfortable and roomy as the MDX... buying car is such a personal decision I just hope this helps someone who may be struggling as well...

I got my 20 MDX and wow!! What a difference a few years makes. My 20 Technology package now comes with parking sensors front and rear, genuine open pore wood grain, 12 way power seats on both sides w/ chrome trim around the switch gear, improved touch screen and apple carplay / android auto. Super easy to use. It's not rocket science. Smooth ride, quite interior and AWD awesome in the snow ! No chain ups ever. No need to buy other brands for everything you get with Acura and very reliable. No issues

Sensible Review and Impressions MDX 2020

I decided to write a review to help those who are on lookout for their luxury SUV buying adventure. There are a tons of choices and all are good and since no size fits all, MDX may not be a right choice for you. I will give you my experience of buying and features that we use all the time. First of all this is a solid car which we hope to own for a long time. Everything in car is high end and not overly show off. I read a lot about two screens and I actually love it. It is a brilliant implementation. It takes some time to learn but if you are middle of the road tech person you will learn it fast. First screen on the top and deep inside the dashboard is for inbuilt navigation and apple play and Android auto. It is non touch screen for a reason because you can't touch it. But since it is dedicated to a particular function it remains that way all through the trip. Other screen is dedicated to normal functioning of controls and buttons below that screen control Navigation and Apple Play screen. Don't fret too much about it you will learn fast and will realize how splendid two screen idea is. Now, lane assist and adaptive cruise are the two most used functions and they work perfectly on high way but sporadically on inner roads. Which is not a big deal as you should be in charge of driving while in your neighborhood. The biggest upside of having advance model is 360 view camera. It is brilliant if you want to know how far are you from car parked next to you or how far the right side curb is while parallel parking. Having back seats heated are important if you will be driving kids around. And heated steering wheel is great during cold weather. Pricing wise we found out the best discount you can get is in $7000 to $7500 range off of msrp. So let your dealer price it up. Go back home and counter with $7500 below. Most likely dealer will accept. You can go on TrueCar and randomly select dealers nearby and request pricing pick the best price and ask your dealer to match. From our experience best price was $7,500 below MSRP. Before you decide to buy sit down with finance person and ask what additional warranties or treatments are available. There are a lot and for us making decision on the same day while picking up the car was hard. We suggested our dealer to improve on that. But there are some good ones and it makes sense to get those. Extended warranty is expensive at $4000+ but it virtually covers everything non wear tear up to 125,000 miles. If you are going to keep car for that long and afraid if technology inside the car will fail then it buys you a piece of mind. Having window treatment and outer body treatment is another great option that covers from spills inside and dents outside. And it is lifelong. Accessories are another area where there are some great choices. Having a tow hitch and splash guards with all weather mats in my opinion is a must for this car. In a high traffic area use tow hitch to install rear collision protection guard and you don't have to worry about someone rear ending your car. Splash guard protects sides of your car from mud splashing. Whether you buy tech package or advance both are great and not having overly jazzy but a solid family luxury car is what you need and you are a buy and hold kind of family then this is a car for you. Happy hunting.
Best Value & Performance with a Side of Utility!

My last three SUVs were a Mercedes Benz, a BMW, and a Honda Pilot EX-L. I bought the Pilot because I wanted a vehicle that could haul my family of four, a couple of my kids' friends and all of our gear to the beach, amusement park, or on weekend getaways. The Pilot had the "Utility" part of SUV wired, but it totally lacked in the "Sport" department. My MB and BMW had the opposite problem. The MDX SH-AWD delivers on both counts. Although it handles much better than the Pilot, it hauls almost as much. Acura should call it an "FUV" for Fun Utility Vehicle. The reviews here bash the dual screens as archaic, but I love them. I can see my navigation and entertainment on separate screens without scrolling through the pages of a single large display. I never have to switch away from the nav screen to find a new radio station, change the source, or dial a call. Speaking of navigation, I purposely bought a base model because I'm not a fan of Honda/Acura's navigation systems. We have owned eight Honda/Acuras with navigation systems in the last 20 years and the nav system has always been the worst part of the car. With the MDX, I use Android Auto running Google Maps or Waze--much better than the OEM Garmin units! Maybe the "V" should stand for value. I paid less than $35K for my MDX (plus TTL)--that's $20K less than I paid for my MB, $10K less than my BMW, and $5K less than the Pilot! The MDX is so inexpensive right now, that I'm thinking about buying a second one for my wife. Love it! UPDATE: I've owned my '20 MDX SH-AWD for six months now and still loving it! Value: I thought it was a great value when I bought it, but a hot used car market has made the MDX an absolute bargain. I checked the outright sales values with two major buyers (whose names start with "Car") and both offered more than I paid for it six months ago (TTL excluded). I could literally sell the car for more than I paid! However, we don't buy cars just because they're a good deal. Despite Covid, my MDX has hauled the crew and our gear to the mountains, amusement park and Christmas light shows. Performance: the SH-AWD makes the MDX sure-footed in the snow and rain. I actually think it's a better system than those in my Audis, BMWs and Mercedes. I'm a lead foot, but I find that the acceleration is more than adequate and the car handles very well for its size. It is light years better than my previous Honda Pilot. Utility: the MDX has been great for home improvement store runs and weekly visits to our big box grocery stores. However, I recommend getting a tow hitch installed because furniture and larger items won't fit in the cargo hold. I added an aftermarket hitch for $265 from the big trailer rental place and spend $25 each time I have a big load to haul (much better than damaging the interior or stinking it up when I make a run to the recycling center or dump). Bottom line: I love my MDX!

reliable fun to drive comfortable SUV far better then any other SUVs I can’t understand what’s so difficult about having two screens one upper screen for apple car play and driving info And bottom screen for radio cd etc its very well planned and nothing confusing about it . I am driving MDX since 2010 now I upgraded to 2020 MDX I got excellent deal and a decent trade in price for my old MDX . Plus no extra charge for awesome HONDA SENSING features a must have which other charge thousands of dollars for these features Will recommend AWD, drive and handling is cool AND less drag on your body when you drive long distance in AWD

Too Much Tech

This past May we purchased a brand new 2020 Acura MDX complete with the technology package. I had been driving an MDX for the previous nine years and was extremely fond of that car. The new model has, in my opinion, too much tech. For example, there is no stick shift anywhere in the vehicle. The transmission is all electric push button. It takes a while just to get the hang of it. The car has an assortment of safety beeps and dings and flashing lights that alert you to potential roadside hazards. The problem with these is, they trigger frequently during what I shall call normal driving. The owners instruction manual, while the thickness of a small library book, has so much information about so many things, and you have to read the fine print just to figure out how to work the radio. I guess you could say I have become used to the old way and now find myself slightly lost. Thank you
I went back.

I had a 2008 MDX for many years and loved it. In 2018 I decided to shop around and chose, just for fun, the Volvo XC60 - I liked the sporty look and the wood-trimmed interior. But in driving it the first week, my whole family was annoyed by the engine noise level on the highway, the rigid back seats, the handling in snow, cumbersome tech and more. So about a year later, I decided on a lark to test drive an MDX again. It felt like returning to an old boyfriend who was so warm and strong, so good at hugs, tough and adventurous and capable to make me feel taken care of, but also, you know, a man who likes luxury and cleans up nice. He’s not the first one you notice — but why had I left this man? That day I ended my Volvo fling and brought home MDX. The whole family was so relieved and happy.

The MDX has all I need for the region I live in, there is not the luxury items of other vehicles in it's class but it's affordable and meet's my family needs. Ride is comfortable and the vehicles ergonomic are suitable for my size. Only negative I've seen is the well reported delay in cruise control response, reference the time it takes the vehicle to move into a new speed when the cruise control is already engaged. this is my second MDX and I love the larger storage book in the tail area just not sure how easy it will be to remove it I suffer a flat on the road.

Paint Issue and Honda (Acura) does not care

I bought a brand new 2020 ACURA MDX on 8/7/20. I noticed after only owning the car for 18 months that the clear coat was peeling and the paint underneath was chipping away. I called my local dealer that I bought it from, AutoNation Acura of Hunt Valley, and they told me to bring it in for pictures. I set an appointment and a week later I took it for pictures. I then had to wait an additional 3 weeks for an ACURA (Honda) rep to come look at it. By this time, the couple of failing paint spots turned into about 20. The ACURA rep looked at the paint and claimed to have "taken a sample" in which they immediately denied my claim for covered warranty work due to "outside influence like bugs," Cicadas they specifically referenced. I was advised by the service adviser, George, that I could continue to wash and detail my car during the wait between discovery and inspection by the Honda rep, in which I did. So how are they able to take samples of the surface and properly determine the issue was do to outside influence when the issue happened several car washes and details before the "sample" was taken. I then took my auto to an auto body, a Gold Class I-Car certified body shop to be exact. The estimate for new paint specifically referenece "factory coat (paint) defect." Honda then continued to tell me that my outside opinion does not matter to them and they are standing by their decision without telling me any specifics of what they found or what might have caused these failing paint issues. Bionca the manager at Honda would not even listen to my opinion on the matter and the issue continues to get worse, which further proves this issue isn't from an outside source. If a item or bug caused the paint issue, why are more locations popping up as time goes along.

I leased a 2020 Acura base model for $379/mo. I was initially going to get the Lincoln Aviator but the price was $500/mo more. The best part of the deal was they gave me $27500 for my 2015 Mercedes GL450. The Acura is a nice car with a lot of amenities for a base model. The only thing the base model was lacking was the navigation, but I use my navigation through my smart phone, and I think I like it better that way. Other than that I am happy with my choice.

We shopped a long time and compared all the models. The price point and features of the MDX drew us in and did not let go. Then we saw and fell in love with the PMC Edition. I know it's really only 9 layers of paint, blacked out trim and a badge, but it's freaking awesome to be 1 of 330 in North America! It's powerful, smooth to drive, handles really well, and has really great cargo storage. Our third row is always down. Definitely recommend the MDX.

A few weeks ago I went to go test drive a 2020 MDX in lunar silver Metallic The ride was so smooth and it was just so practical the car felt so lux mostly because the Tech pkg was quieter and came with more luxury appointments overall it was a wonderful SUV The only things that bothered me tho was that In a Honda Pilot it offers more value because unlike the MDX The Pilot could come equipped with a pano-sunroof a digital speedometer a foot activated liftgate led brake and reverse lights and a more modern nav system but at the end of the day its still a beautiful suv with a cool design and a premium feeling

MDX looks nice, has a smother, somewhat quieter ride than the Highlander and nicer leather interior. With that being said, the navigation, phone and radio are totally lacking in ease of use. Nav and Phone take a lot of Maneuvering (which can't be safe), are not quick and easy. I went back to the dealer to see why certain options weren't working and after about 30 minutes was told that I should just use Android Auto. That is not an option as I do not have unlimited data. Had it been explained that to use all the available Tech options (that they couldn't stop talking about) that we would need to have unlimited data we would have taken a harder look at this vehicle. Limited view on passenger side when backing up. The back camera gets wet it is of no use (totally blurred). The 2nd row headrest block your view (we removed them). We've only had this vehicle 3 months and I hate it. The 2 star rating is only for quiet, smooth ride and leather interior.

The MDX will be upgraded in 2021. Styling is dated but still appealing. Navigation screen is much smaller than other cars in the class but I’m sure that will change in 2021. Power, performance and handling are good. Comfort is also Very good. The start stop feature on this and all other makes of vehicles needs to go away! It interferes with climate control comfort and will be a maintenance issue down the road. The gas savings is minimal and doesn’t justify the inconvenience. There must be a better way! Overall the Acura MDX is a quality vehicle.

9 speed transmission hesitates and pause . Sensing features can not be trusted. Outdated infotainment and dash telematics. Gas guzzler, am averaging 18 mpg. No spare tire!!! Oh please. Acura client relation’s doesn’t care. My nightmare car purchase. I should have bought an Infinity or a Lexus. Learn from my mistakes. Peter

Midsized. Alot smaller than one would think. Thought it would be bigger than my 17 Accord, I was wrong. Feels too compact. I will be trading this in the next few months.

This car is so so so outdated and terrible. The two screen system is so incredibly confusing. It has apple CarPlay, but why even try to use it when you can’t toucj the screen and have to use a nonsensical dial that doesn’t give you the full features and accessibility! The cabin could be likened to a recycling plant. Do not believe what the dealers say! This is a car stuck in the 20th century. Buyers beware.

Update: I ended up trading car in because of the apple car play but should have just used the blue tooth. It's a great car to drive and would purchase an Acura again if the prices hadn't gone up so much! Issues with Apple Car play from day one still not fixed it only connects to my Applie IPhone when it wants to even after being swapped out w a loaner car. Acura has no fix. The ac is not near as cold as my old Murano or Toyota’s and just adjusting the heat and ac on the screen is bizarre reds normal heat and ac buttons/controls. Other than that car rides nice but will not be keeping after lease is up. I’m just crap out of luck w this one.

I replaced 2016 Acura MDX with new 2020 Acura MDX. I like the new screen function - Car Play, also the transmission works better. Don't like: no captain chairs - still not easy to get to third row.

So far, I’ve bought newMDX and like it a lot. It’s reliable, low noise inside, with good driving experience. No issues so far. The car looks good from inside and outside. Disagree with one star reviews. They are misleading.

This car has what I was looking for! It was an obvious pick for me but easy to make since I had Edmunds to refer to in the process! Thanks!

Great reliable car to drive kids around. This car goes through brakes more than my previous cars. Had to replace brake pads and rotors at 30 K. Other than it drives good. There is a problem with the quality of the vehicle for e.g. apple car play is not as smooth sometimes doesn't work, rear controls are also of low quality. Door trims often come off but car performance is great.
Love it!!!

Horrible sound system!!! Tight interior space. Lacks basic features that are standard on lesser priced vehicles. Even the carpet mats are flimsy.

The Acura MDX is a great value, not only performance wise, but in comparison to other SUV's in its' Class.
Everything you need with AWD tech package.

All the safety features including dynamic cruise control and blind spot monitoring are standard. Upgraded leather seats 20" wheels and power folding mirrors are worth the upgrade.
Very nice
