Owned 2 4th Gen MDX’s and each one have a different set of issues. First one is 2022 MDX Aspec which had issues with acceleration and weird vibration in the gas pedal. Acura did not cared to look into the issue and simply ruled out saying it’s normal. Since I could drive the car with the vibration in the gas pedal, traded in Aspec for 2023 MDX Type S Advance hoping that the Type S engine design is different and I’ll not have any weird issues. But, I was completely wrong. My 2023 Type S Advance have multiple issues - 1) high pitch whining noise which triggers at 45mph. This happens only when i slightly press the gas pedal to maintain the speed. Take the foot off the gas pedal and the noise stops. Again, feather the gas pedal, it comes back. My dealer did not even attempt to identify the problem but instead he test drove other type s in the lot which was having similar noise but barely noticeable while it’s pretty loud and annoying in my car. Opened a case with Acura and they took my dealership technicians word and ruled it as a normal characteristic of the car… which is BS! Many other MDX owners are experiencing same issue and Acura is not bothering to look into the issue at all. 2) Rattle noise from the cluster/HUD part of dashboard. My dealer tried to fix it but it just doesn’t go away. Type S Advance is the most expensive and sort of flagship vehicle for Acura. But, Acura decided to screw it up and do nothing about the issues that customers are having and simply saying it’s normal. Seems like Acura knows these issues and yet released a faulty product into the market and bagging the money. If Acura doesn’t take these issues into consideration and fix them, this will be my last Acura product and spread the word to my family and friends who are in the market for a new car and make sure they buy a better reliable car other than Acura who pays attention to customer issues and value them.

This mdx type S , just bought it 2 weeks ago , a fun car to drive , air ride suspension makes a big difference, 3.0 turbo engine makes a big difference again , 1000 watch stereo awesome sound , massage seats yeah feels good , luxurious / yes and the price is expensive $75000 , if you tell me 5 years ago $75000 are you nuts but fast forward now 2023 here we are now the realities of life we’re driving it, gas mileage not great / for its price you probably don’t care about the mileage / is it a fast car for a medium size suv yes ! / feel’s confident to drive once you get adjusted to its size , I came from a RDX now mdx type S , it’s Japanese Honda/Acura realiability proven already for years…

Great speed, quality cabin space, multidimensional vehicle which is good for speed but also drive quietly in the neighborhood without being too noticeable.

Love the turbo and handling Seemless Red leather interior super sharp Only con for some might be that it’s not a hybrid but not for me! A real car driver’s experience

I didn't think Acura could make it slower, but they did. And please stop the anime interior design. My normal car is a BMW X3 M40, and this MDX just felt and rode like cheap plastic.
