2011 Acura MDX consumer reviews

salesman Tom Castiello was very helpful and made purchase of car a pleasant experience. Everyone at the dealership was very profesional

Always had American cars: Chrysler, Mercury, Pontiac, Chevy. So when it was time to give away my 2010 Chevy Impala which I've had at 0 miles I of course was looking at new cars: Ford Taurus, Mustang and Fusion, Chevy Camaro and Impala, Dodge Charger and Challenger. Wife saw this used certified 2011 MDX, I balked at her idea. "Really? Me in a non-American car? Don't think so," I thought. But I had to humor her like a good hubby and went to look at it for a test drive. Dang! Not only did it have all the features I was looking for (leather seats, dual climate control, Bluetooth connection for the phone) it had some extras I wasn't really looking for (sun roof, heated seats, backup camera, 3rd row seating)! But, I figured "It's an SUV, it'll be slow as molasses. That is until the dealer told me, "Go ahead, put it into sports mode and open it up." I did and was surprised at the zippy pick up it has! On top of that being certified it still had part of the original warranty and an extra year/12000 miles added to it! Logically, as much as I reeeeeeeeealllllllyyyyy wanted an American car, for the value of the MDX I couldn't turn it down (would have been crazy to do so!). So here I am, a staunch all American car gung-ho driver in a Japanese luxury suv enjoying every bit of it. Side note: My 2010 Impala is still kicking, gave it to my brother as a gift since his only car (a VW) was totaled and he and his wife have 2 kids.

We just bought a 2011 MDX with about 34,000 miles because we have had so much success with our 2005. This car promises to be even more satisfactory in terms of ride and being quiet. Other factors such as the compact 7 seat capacity are comparable to the 2005. Another reviewer really summed up my primary complaint and that focuses on the instrument panel. The speedometer is difficulty to read because the steering wheel blocks my vision at the position that is comfortable for me to drive. The fuel gauge is virtually out of sight and hidden in the recesses of the circular forms that are part of the panel design. I much prefer the trip information on the 2005; and as the other reviewer noted I am not much interested in the most accessible options. I want to know what my gas mileage is instantly and over a period of miles. That is not easily accessed as it is with the 2005. My only other concern is a general lack of response when accelerating compared to my little TSX.

We researched and drove just about all competitiors. We were looking for 3 rows with some luxury and something that doesn't drive like a boat. The MDX was the perfect fit. Great for tailgating, carting kids to sports, and ski trips. I would highly recommend this vehicle.

I spent a considerable amount of time before purchasing this vehicle and very happy with my choice. The family specialy enjoys the technology and entertainment systems.

We got a 2011 Acura MDX w/Technology Package a month or so ago, and love it. The ride is incredible, comfort is wonderful. The only complaints, if you could call them complaints, is that the gas gauge is hard to see on the right side behind the wheel. Also, the visible displays, which are digital, are strange as well. I am less concerned about oil life and how my AWD is engaged than I would be to see a trip odometer, outdoor temp, or even a digital compass. These a minor details, the MDX is a well designed, magnificently comfortable SUV.

Started feeling vibrations on steering wheel at highway speeds. Dealer convinced me that, that's how these vehicles are made! For 45K, I would need a better answer. These cars are not suitable for highway commute. Driving is very uncomfortable too. As if this vehicle is pulling to other lane when curving, all the time happens in the highway! Cannot recommend this vehicle for the price. Also needs tech updates for this price compared to other manufacturers!

This is my third new MDX and it's by far the best. Each time I expect to be driving a different brand. But after all the test drives I always come back. Best bang for the buck!!

We've had our MDX for 3 months now and we couldn't be happier. All of the reviews and all of the advertising about the MDX is actually true. The vehicle is stylish, elegant, powerful, and dependable. It fits our family's needs perfectly. I only have two complaints about the car. First, it requires Premium gasoline, tempered by the fact that the vehicle gets good gas mileage for an SUV. Secondly, the third row could use a few more inches. It is really only suitable for 1 adult on a very short in-town trip or children for a trip of any length. I highly recommend this car and I'm now thinking of an Acura for our next car as well.

We just purchased our MDX and have 2256 miles on it. There are several rattles in the dash, and other noises that we haven't located. The road noise is very loud for a car that costs $50,000. Steering darts and is real light. Interior is pretty plain and the trim is worse. We sold our E-350 MB to get into this car. Decided there was too much wrong with this car to hassle with the dealer to fix our list of problems. We will be in our new S-550 sometime in March. This car cost twice as much as the MDX, but I guess you get what you pay for!
