Simply worth every dime!

It works as a go to work or evening dinner with wife SUV. Better yet, it is an ideal ride to the Grand Canyon with the kids, cat and dog. It has class without over stating it.

Extremely reliable, SH-AWD truly is impressive

Love the 2016 Acura MDX SH-AWD. Never had a single issue with it, and it has a really nice audio sound system. Very very reliable and great to drive.

Love this car. Stylish and dependable

Great vehicle, very dependable, comfortable and nice to drive. Like the sunroof, XM radio, tech package and third row seat. Tech package is great and love all the features.

Some good and some bad

The interior is super comfortable, the seats and leather feel great. The drive is typical of a Japanese car, feels a little flightly even with the SH-AWD. The thing I HATE about this car is the touch screen everything. To turn the air down you have to do it on the touch screen, there is no knob it's all touchscreen. It is dangerous sometimes to look at the screen just to turn up or down the air. The heated seats are also on the touch screen. I should have considered this when I bought the car. Keep that in mind when you think of buying. I am trading it in after not even a year of having it because it is not powerful enough for me, there is a lag when I try to accelerate even on sport mode. It might be great for others but it just wasn't for me.

A/C Compressor

I really enjoyed this vehicle. Handled very well in all road conditions and was able to hold a significant amount of cargo. At 68000 miles the AC compressor failed. Surprising for such low mileage. Upon going to have repaired there was one used AC compressor in the entire country. All new units were on an indefinite backorder, meaning that the vehicle was dead in the water after a year-and-a-half of ownership. Speaking to the repair technician - he was not surprised at all. He informed me that he frequently services the AC units on Honda and Acura vehicles constantly due to poor design and corresponding reliability. The problem has been going on for years which means that the manufacturer has made no effort to fix the issue.
