We've only had the MDX for a few days, but coming out of a RDX A-spec, the MDX Type-S is a whole different level! Unbelievable luxury, ride & performance!

I’ve been driving my new MDX type S and realize how it’s not practical. No spare tire, jack or tire iron. If you have a blow out or hit a pot hole and damage a wheel or tire your stranded. I guess a road-trip is ruled out with this car. I’ve been driving in the city and I get 8.4 MPG. The passenger cannot control the infotainment system because this system is not passenger friendly. Every other car in this segment has an easy infotainment system to use with a touchscreen which the MDX doesn’t have. Overalls the car looks nice but is not practical. If you buy the car be prepared to have buyers remorse.

This pretty much a luxury vehicle with a bit of performance thrown in, with the Type S Advance trim. The interior feels pretty high quality, the seats are as comfortable as pretty much anything we've ever owned, including several higher end European performance suvs, and the massage function is better than anything we've had in any vehicle. The top end Els audio really is incredible, better than the Meridian and burmester high-end systems in our other vehicles, and the whole interior experience is very high-end. The front two rows are very comfortable for 6'2, adults, and the third row can easily accommodate 5' 8 teenagers or adults. The car is not a rocket ship but it's sufficiently fast. The adjustable suspension truly does cover a wide range from Comfort to sport plus, you can have a nice soft ride for cruising, or dial it in for a very firm and responsive drive in sport plus mode when you want to hit the twisties. The MDX Type s really covers both ends of the spectrum well It's a pretty quiet car, although you do hear a faint audible high-pitched frequency with the audio system off, coming off the throttle speeds above 35 mph if you're listening for it. Now here's the 'some issues' part. We've had multiple problems with the functionality of the infotainment system. I'm not specifically talking about the touchpad, because we got used to that within a couple of days and it doesn't bother us at all, although I would still prefer touch screen access as well. We've also had, as someone else commented, moisture throughout the car. It turns out we had a issue with some of the drains for the sunroof, which also shorted out the infotainment system necessitating a week plus long stay for service and replacement. We were noticing the rear carpet and battery cover were constantly wet or had small pools of water, when we took the car in for the infotainment system we discovered it was the drain issue causing all these problems. Apparently this has happened to several other owners as well. And the only other thing I can criticize is the air conditioning. The climate controls are super easy to use, and I'm glad there are direct buttons for them, but with the black interior, it takes forever for the interior to cool down, and the air blowing out of the events seemed noticeably cooler in the loaner car we had. And lastly the vented seats work very poorly ( yes, this is a first world problem). Even on the highest setting there is low air flow, combined with the not so cool air the system pumps out even at it's called the setting. We've had 12 cars with vented / air conditioned seats, and these are by far the worst performing of all of them. But on a typical day you get in the car start it up, and take a corner, or maybe even on some days you're just stuck in traffic, and you generally just tend to smile while you're in it. I also like that the car is somewhat discreet in its appearance, the only major differences being the subtle badging, the exhaust outlets, and the calipers. This would easily be a five-star rating had we not had multiple infotainment issues the first 15 months of ownership.

I bought the '16 MDX tech RES/AWatch as CPO with 2.5 years and 26,00 miles on its belt. Last year's used car market price was crazy and luckily I have something to trade in and I think I got a good price. After 3.5 years of owning, added 25,000 miles, the '16 has residual (trade-in) price dropped by $5k only. Major repair/maintenance were front rotors and brake pads replacement and the normal oil change sched. I am in the market for a brand new MDX so when local dealership agreed the '22 at MSRP and my trade in at $26K and another $1,000 less of MSRP for Acura loyalty, we had a deal. So I got the 2022 MDX in the winter of '22, pretty excited because of how much different it is from the '16. It got the updated big time... finally. The engine I believe is the same, updated transmission, pano roof. I miss the chrome door handle of '16 but if they kept it it look like too much chrome on the side of the '22. I noticed the driving is a bit slower, not sure because it is heavier? (That sunroof). I love the leather, the removeable center 2nd row seat, the accent lighting, One downside is that '22 still don't have a downhill descent assist. I think the Honda Pilot has one and not sure why Acura didnt have it. I tried the "S" mode and manually shifting to the lowest gear when on a downhill and slow speed but it automatically shft to 2nd and higher. I dont want to ride on the brake but I am forced into. its nowhere closer to real low gear manual transmission.
