New MDX is a downgrade

I recently traded in my 2022 MDX for the 2025 and can’t stand it! Somehow I didn’t realize Acura got rid of XM Sirius in 2025. Had I noticed it would have been a complete dealbreaker. You can get to the Sirius app through CarPlay, but it’s very clunky. Multiple screens to tap through to play music and no way to switch from one channel to another. Another issue with using apps is they work only if your service provider is good. Opening any apps has been painfully slow, pauses, or crashes for me. Furthermore it drains the battery of the phone. The connectivity of the phone and relay of text messages is also terrible. If you’re listening to music and a call comes in, it doesn’t come up on the screen to answer. I would imagine there is a way to remedy this problem, but I have yet to find it. All around it feels like they rushed this update and completely forgot the user experience. I’m counting the months until this lease is up and I’ve only had the car 3 weeks. Don’t recommend it at all!

Cool looking car but...

Very nice looking and comfortable car. Seats are very comfortable. The car runs quiet. The transmission is very smooth when driving on highway above 40-50mph, however, if you are going in traffic for 30mph or less transmission is very jumpy. We love the panoramic moonroof! Sound system is great! Removable middle seat in the second row is also a plus. Wireless charger does not work properly, it charges for a few seconds and stops and starts charging again (I tried it without a phone case, same thing), so it seems like waste of space for that feature. Not enough space for little storage items. We have upgraded from 2017 Pilot to 2024 MDX , but in some ways it felt like downgrading. Space is one of these areas. For example, I had 16 big cup holder spaces (not even counting lower level door pockets, in which you can fit small cup/bottles, too). MDX has only 6! Two of these (3rd row) are too small anyway. You can also fit small water bottles on each door (lower pocket) but that's about it! Infotainment touchpad is horrible. We asked to make sure that the car has apple car play/android auto which run very good and without having to connect a cable which is great but who would thought to ask about touchscreen! How come this newer and luxury car that is supposed to have better technology does not have a touch screen display!!!??? The touch screen in my Pilot was a blessing. It's not about the learning curve of the touchpad, the touch screen is definitely a lot more convenient and a lot less distracting because when you need select something on the screen in apple car play you just go and touch there, whereas with touchpad, you need to select that thing by keeping scrolling to it, then press (ugh!!!) This is one of the downgrading areas from Pilot. Beware! No spare tires or tire replacement kits but turns out that you do not really need them because apparently these cars have run-flat tires (max 50 mph for a max of 50 miles, I believe). This is all new to me and I had to search this up because our lovely dealer held all these back from us including the touchpad, which I am very upset about.
