An absolute pleasure.

This is my second MDX and I intend to get a new one soon. Best vehicle I have owned in 55 years including Jaguars, Tahoes and Caddilacs.

Surprised owner

I was unsure if I wanted to spend so much on a car since I am retired and use my car only for pleasure. Why spend more for a Honda? Well, after driving this car for almost a year, I know I willkeep an Acura in my garage from this day forward! It?s a pleasure to drive and own. Great features and extremely luxurious.

Best Car I've Owned

Purchased the vehicle about a month ago and so far it has been nothing but perfect. The comfort, technology, and drive is absolutely pristine. Love driving it and learning new features as I go. It really is a safe and perfect vehicle for the family.

Satisfied buyer

This car met all my needs and has the power for highway cruising. It's comfortable and very nimble for a big SUV. It has tonnes of space and most importantly it's reliable. I used to be a BMW and a Lexus fan but after test driving all 3 back to back, I choose the mdx for it's shear sportiness, reliability and feel. The lexus rx350 f sport was close but the driving experience felt too gentleman for me. The mdx can be a gentleman as well as it can be a rude-boy and that dynamic nature of the MDX is more versatile in my books. I Love my MDX and I'm eyeing for the A-spec version when released!

acura mdx

It has been a great car and one of best of the 7 MDX that we have had. I would probably entertain purchasing another Acura MDX.

Would buy again

It was a great drive and reliability for the price. It has very good suspension and smooth ride. Will most probably buy another Acura in the future.

It's okay

This is not a bad SUV but it is not great. I don't love it the size seems very small compared to my old Highlander and a 2008 MDX I owed previously. I hate the start stop engine. The shifting is weird and hesitant at times. It also did not hold it's value very well. It does go through snow really well and is great for that.

This car is not a good value for the money. There are many better choices available. Poor initial quality and early mechanical failures plague my vehicle.

Best car I ever owned

I have driven many big nameplates. Acura was not always my first choice but in last 2 years I drove a new RDX then changed it for my new MDX . Value for money Nothing can compete with it.
