The A Spec is a fine car that delivers in appeal, quality, functional use, sound system, technology and price. I know it's to be expected that cars improve each year, but this MDX is special. The seats are very comfortable, and the instruments and interior are well laid out. The car is quiet inside with minor road noise noted. The A Spec is about $4000 plus less than the advance and lacks some features the advance has but nothing I really need (Heated steering wheel, visual display on windshield, touch free rear opening hatch, etc.) I love the sporty look and the car is well designed. My wife has always said I drive a mom's car until this one. She likes it a lot! I am sure there are many fine mid-size SUV's and I have driven a few but I keep coming back to the MDX since I purchased my first one in 2002. This 2023 is nice improvement from my prior 2018 MDX. Very pleased over all.

Leased the 2023 MDX A spec, and only have 600 miles on it so far and am very pleased. I was somewhat wary of the infotainment setup due to the many bad reviews on YouTube about it, but I like it. Sure beats reaching up and tapping on a touch screen constantly. It takes a little getting used to but what doesn’t. I also like how the screen fits nicely with the dash and is not oversized. Loving everything about the vehicle thus far.

First Acura in 30 years. My, how things change! I've got about 8000 miles on mine. Nice on the road on an 8 hour drive to Florida. It's certainly not the Corvette's or Mustang Bullitt I've owned in the past, but it goes as fast as I want and I'm not too gentle on it. (85-90 mph) Heck of a lot more comfortable then the other sports cars I've owned. Looks like a "MOM VAN" and the cops seem to miss it. I don't know but I'm pretty careful on the road. A couple of things I've noticed, throttle response in Normal mode. Big turbo lag. Be careful pulling out on a busy road. Sport mode is almost too responsive. Someone else mentioned gas mileage. I agree. For a 6 banger its awfully thirsty. That Bullitt did as well with an 8 cylinder and 150 more HP. Rear windshield wiper could be reversed. Why not turn it around and tuck it under the spoiler. Out of the way. Out of sight and a cleaner look. Console pockets in the front seating area. Plenty of room there for it. Drink holders aren't just for drinks anymore. I like to use Wazes and the car's GPS at the same time. Also use hand wipes regularly. Thats both cup holders, guess the drink goes between your legs! I haven't noticed the whine or vibrations others have described. I think they would have popped up by now. I've found it to be a solid car. My first SUV and I'm happy with the storage room in the back. Plenty of room for golf clubs and push cart. If you've had to give up the serious sports car due to age, (my issue) or you've started a family, need the room and don't want to give up a sports car, I think this is a good vehicle to look at. UPDATE: 8/15/23 Just over 16000 miles. I added the spare tire the last oil change. $500 I wonder why I had to spend for a spare on a car priced at over $70,000.00! (Type S) Other than some turbo lag the car runs flawlessly. Another thing I noticed I think Acura should address on every one of their vehicles is XM Travel to be added to the radio. I have it in my 2015 Ford F-350 and use it when I travel. It's nice information to have when you are approaching a storm front and can see the weather on radar. Finding fuel and seeing the prices is nice too. Not sure why that wasn't added. $5 a year!

The 22 and 23 base and tech has transmission issues. Turn off all electronics and listen for gear whining at about 30 mph. It is constant at 50 mph and does not go away. Acura says normal. This is from an engineer that checked it out. Search all forums and you will see how prevalent the issue is. This post may be taken down by Acura but for those of you who still purchase the mdx. Good luck if you want mechanical problems for there is no fix. I reported it to NHST and they have the same complaint too.

We had to drive about 200 miles to get the MDX type S we were looking for. We knew the type S did not come with a spare tire, so we thought we had the extra cost spare tire kit coming when we picked it up. Unfortunately the kit was and is on back order. Well the stars on the way home were not aligned in our favor and of all things we had a blowout.. Acura care sent a flatbed and by 10 o’clock the next day, Saturday, we had a new tire! We love the car, it’s unbelievably comfortable, sporty, and fun to drive unlike the GLS that we replaced. I ordered a spare tire, the required hoist, and jack from three different dealers, hoping I never have to make use!!🥴. Most of the articles I read indicated mileage even below the EPA estimates. Our short sample to this point have shown at least two or 3 miles per gallon better than anticipated. Hopefully that first night is not a sign of things to come!
