Looks good but doesn’t perform like an Acura

I was initially very excited about this car. It looks nice and I like the space. But has sever al issues. The drive train is very jerky. The transmission doesn't release the gears quickly enough when you take your foot off the gas peddle. This feels like your car lurches forward or you are breaking when you release the gas. This isn't noticeable when on the highway so much as when driving in traffic. I had my car in service several times and the service department said this is due to the 10 speed transmission. I had one of their loaner MDX's for the day and that car drove the same way. It's awful. I've driven a Toyota Corolla that’s smaller / less expensive and drives better, a Yukon and a Infiniti which are much larger than the MDX and they were much more smoother. My MDX isn’t performing like previous Acura vehicles. Very disappointing as this was my first brand new vehicle. The breaks squeal very loudly, and are spongy at times. There is nothing they can do. Mercedes, BMW, Infiniti don't seem to have this issue. Service doesn't have a fix. The wireless charger will not work on the new iPhone 14. Acura is pointing the finger at Apple. Apple pointing the finger at Acura. The steering column groans when repositioning itself after the driver gets behind the wheel. Service said they are aware of this and it's the motor. Nothing they can do. Over all, the car looks great. It's very roomy and comfortable. But all the other issues make it a terrible car to own. I'm tired of the issues with no resolution or compliancy because it's how it's designed. I’m looking to trade and get a different brand vehicle.

Only thing I dislike is the touch pad...it takes a little time to get use to it, but it also has some redundant controls on the steering wheel. Read the manual or get a tutorial on internet. The things you get for the price that would cost $10 Grand more on a BMW, Audi or other luxury SUV's makes this package worth the crazy touchpad. I have driven this over 17,000 miles and that includes 2 trips to Illinois from AZ and back. It handles like a sedan in the tight turns of the mountains thru AZ and in Tucson area. Its not as quite as other luxury SUV's , road noise is apparent like most other Honda products. It's a great family SUV for those that want luxury, a ton of equipment and safety controls, with two things you have to decide on - a little less power, although the sound of the engine and exhaust are truly sports car orientated, and that touch pad.

Likes... Exterior styling. The best looking (in my opinion) midsize on the road today. A non turbo, years proven reliable, V6 engine. Very upscale interior for the money. The sound system is phenomenal!! Ranked and rated better than what 99% of the other vehicle manufacturers offer. City MPG's. I getting 22-23 in town. A pleasant surprise. Front seats are super comfortable. Super handling all wheel drive is just what it says. Way better than the Genesis, Lexus, Volvo, Lincoln or Mercedes midsize SUV I test drove. The BMW X5 was the only one that handled and cornered better than the MDX. Dislikes... Highway MPG's. I'm not getting anything better than 24-25.

My 5th Acura. 2nd MDX. Traded my 2017 Mdx 4 months ago for a new 2023. The improvements are great. Smooth acceleration. You don’t feel the shifts with 10 speed transmission. Very comfortable interior, love ergonomics can’t beat the comfort. My only miniscule gripe is that the turn signal is noisy. Being that this is my 5th new acura since 2001 I’m an Acura fan. Every model change has been an improvement in my opinion. From my experience in driving 25-30k miles per year…and I keep my cars until at least 125k in miles or 5-6 years, I can say…tried, tested and proven, you can’t beat the acura reliabilty.
One of the best mid-sized SUV

Took delivery on a '23 MDX AWD Technology a couple of months ago. Impressive fit and finish and quality of materials. Sound system is outstanding. The SH-AWD torque vectoring system gives this 4600 pound SUV sports car handling. The 8 year/ 100,000 mile AcuraCare extended warranty deserves a look. There are some negatives. The infotainment system has a steep learning curve and the touch pad is ok but I would have preferred a touch screen. Mostly city driving mpg is about 17 so far which is far less the EPAs 19 mpg. For the money, the MDX is tough to beat. Update.....It's been 7 months since I took delivery. Still love the MDX, zero problems, mpg still about 17 mpg. Great purchase! One year later, it's still a great purchase. Buy one with confidence. Two years later, no issues, no problems, very happy with the MDX
