I spent several weeks researching vehicles from Acura to Toyota. The day finally came when it just came down to a test drive or two or three. I thought I had found my dream when I finished researching and the Acura MDX SHAWD Advanced was my top contender. The Mazda CX-9 had made it to my short list after reading reviews & comparing features. I honestly didn’t think the Mazda was going to be the winner of my affection. Heading to the Mazda dealership first was just a matter of proximity with a tinge of skepticism and thoughts of quickly eliminating my options until I had a winner. Didn’t expect to love it but I did. Moving right along, a lunch break, and then I headed to the Acura dealer. I was surprised to see they actually had an MDX on the lot because they are selling like wildfire around here. Beautiful luxury SUV! Noticed the slightly larger cargo area behind the 3rd row but not an extra 15k worth of space. Ok, maybe the test drive will sell the car. Nope! Kinda sluggish gas pedal response despite having more horsepower. Beautiful interior but again, not 15k worth. The MDX was black and had been sitting in the sun with the temperature about 61 degrees. The salesman was telling me all about the features as he struggled to get the AC to blow cooler air…me thinking it was almost time to roll down the windows and head back to the dealership. He got it working and we proceeded. Several features into his speech we came to another snag. He had opened the sunroof and closed it but couldn’t get the sunshade to close all the way. Sorry, but being impressed with the Mazda CX-9 features, knowing that they work, and the difference in the engine response had me immediately calling the Mazda dealership back. Plus I’m saving money!! Mazda wins!

Unintended acceleration

Had a 2019 Acura - bought new, drove just 28k mi, always felt safe, was pretty comfortable for long drives, wife and daughter loved it, until..the day I’ll never forget, where the car auto accelerated and went off all by itself (probably 5k RPM) in a split sec, catapulted it into the wall of the convenience store bringing it partially down Unable to understand what went wrong all of a sudden.. when I was parking the car and half way into the parking spot @ less than 1mph with accelerator pedal fully retracted what caused the engine to suddenly rev and throw the car into the wall??? Not sure what failed, probably throttle sensor, computer misread something or something else. The wall was just 7 feet ahead, the impact was such the car was totaled. Long story short, I had booked my 2022 acura just 30 days ago, but now with this unpleasant episode I have no confidence in Acuras anymore..what’s the guarantee this problem doesn’t exist in the new cars???? reached out to acura corp, they have been very unresponsive. Feels terrible. Sorry Acura you guys have never fixed the problems of unintended acceleration/ deceleration. There are several complaints online and you guys have NOT acted on them dealing with them probably as one of case. This issue is serious and can kill people, pedestrians or yourself if you crash into a vehicle in front of you!!

Miles per gallon embarrassingly bad

Initially, I fell in love with this car. However, after driving it for a few weeks I quickly realized a troubling trend. My mpg was sitting at 13.4. I did everything to get it to go up--changed it to the the most efficient setting, didn't press on the accelerator to hard, etc. However, nothing is working. I even took a long trip, and got it up to 20 mpg, but it got beat by my friend's car which was a gas gunsling 475hp (he got 22mpg). Anyways, still stuck with the VERY low mpg. Be careful out there. If they can fix this, the car is great drive. Other cons: Infotainment touch pad is glitchy and aggravating. Wireless pad--don't bother using it, as it barely charges.

Ugly duckling

Previous generation hit A’s on all features including design and met all my expectations. Redesigned 2022 with overly long flat hood looks like a duckbilled platypus. The hood is out of scale with rest of body. Stop/start feature is not smooth and affects steering wheel. Louder exhaust note on highway acceleration does not match performance. Dislike push button gear selector, much preferred gear shift which was easy to slide into neutral at red lights and extra length does not match handling of previous model.
