This is my first Acura (2025 MDX) and am extremely disappointed in this vehicle. Every time I drive it there are new squeaks, creaks, and rattles from the interior. There is movement between all the trim pieces in the dash and the rearview mirror. The noise when driving is so irritating. It feels like I’m driving a Kia. Actually, my friend’s Telluride has less interior noise. I’ve taken it back twice for these issues and waiting for a call back to bring it in again. I assume this won’t qualify for the lemon law and I don’t see how the dealership will be able to address these issues. I’m afraid it’s just a poor quality build and I guess I’m just stuck with it. I don’t know how I’d ever be able to buy another Acura. I put a lot of time and research into buying this vehicle, so yeah, I’m beyond disappointed.

Transmission Ruins a Great Driving SUV

Recently bought the Type S…. Got $5k off given the 2025 is around the corner. This is an excellent driving SUV sans the transmission. Coming to a stop the downshifting is terrible. Can’t believe after so many versions Honda/Acura can’t figure out how to make a decent transmission. Fit/finish of the interior is excellent. Aside from the crap transmission, the Type S blows away the Lexus F sport RX in every way.

Sporty, strong and agile

I traded in my 22 MDX for a 25 MDX and I am really happy with the minor changes and upgrades I now enjoy. I loved my 22, but the new one brings a few touches that I appreciate. I was a fan of the touch pad and it did not bother me but the touchscreen I think looks better, has better resolution, you can choose to open the map completely instead of the dual view, overall I think this is game changer. I have had 6 Hondas with navigation systems and for some reason Honda goes back and forth with their screen design, I think the best kind is touch less screen close to the driver hands, because it’s very intuitive to reach and try to change things with your hands as we are used to our phones and tablets. Another big change in my opinion is the new sound system which is excellent, it is truly amazing. Mechanics and the rest of the car is pretty much the same. I love my MDX, the space, the quality touches, the agility and precision make me love this car.

Great Review Coming

I upgraded from a Honda Pilot Elite AWD to this Acura MDX AWD. The upgrade is noticeable and wonderful. I really like the HUD, flexible outside mirrors, cooling seats, the fact that when I restart the engine, the previously set ventilated seats is still on, the impressive Expresso leather seats, the beautiful accent colors that appear on the front doors and the display console.

Dangerous acceleration delays

Lags 1-2 seconds intermittently from a stop. Took delivery in June and have reported the issue times since then to both the dealership and Acura. Have almost been in several accidents when making a left turn from a stop because of the delay. Dealership says there is no issue and “it’s just the way it’s supposed to run.” Driver beware!
