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!

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!

Problems @1,500 miles

This is my first Acura. "Love" the look, only "like" the car. At 1,500 miles my rear, right wheel sensor failed. Every light on the dash came on. Was told supply chain issues so can't get the replacement part for a month. Also, the car isn't extremely quiet. The tires are loud and road noise can be heard. Lastly, always had a problem with using my phone in the car. When I call out the other person gets echo sound. I've tried looking up how to remedy it but still no luck. Not the experience I expected for a $65k car.

I’ve had my MDX Type S Advance for 3 weeks now. Impressions: 1. Great sound system!!!! 2. Already in the shop for warranty work. I’m annoyed with that. 3. Fun to drive, very comfortable. 4. Interior is TOO LOUD. This is supposed to be a premium product, built for long, comfortable drives. My 10 year old pickup is just as quiet. Disappointing. 5. The infotainment system took a few minutes to figure out. It works just fine. Make sure you drive the new Honda Pilot before buying this vehicle.

ACURA HAS LOST THIER TOUCH

2023 mdx type s Loud engine, and not a good loud. Sounds like the engine has no oil in it and everything's just rubbing together, this is at idle If your driver door isn't fully closed the mdx will let you put it in drive, drive for half a second then slam you into park. Why let you put it in drive!?!?! The windshield wipers are so low on the shield that they don't stay warm, so driving in snow and ice becomes hazardous as the wipers constantly freeze up if not in use. Body lines are garbage. The gaps between my doors and quarters are uneven and so large a stick of ice managed to form in-between. The gap doesn't even look like it could be fixed, the joining panels are slightly different shapes. First new car and boy is it disappointing. Acura has turned into a North American car producer. Caring more about massage seats and high-tech nonsense then quality of cars
