Acura MDX for Sale in Santa Cruz, CA

I love the car. If there are any negatives it would be the voice recognition software...it needs improvement from my point of view. Otherwise I like everything about it. Black on Black leather - AWD & Tech package.

I love this vehicle. I have put 80,000 miles. This is my second Acura. Went back after trying BMW and Mercedes. They were to costly to maintain and always had expensive mechanical issues. I have had no mechanical or maintenance issues AT ALL with my Acura

Good power and that’s basically the only thing this car has to offer. I had 2015 Pilot before, thinking that going to MDX was an upgrade. In reality not so much. Interior is cramped. No window opening in the back tailgate. Not much storage in it vs Pilot. Bunch of electric issues. I work in IT for a living but I tell you this car has too many buttons in console. Turning on AC is like launching space rocket. Overall bad interior design all together. Another issue is sluggish transmission. In a parking lot or a mall going to reverse and forward just drive you crazy. For the money this car cost, there are better options out there.

Car is solid and runs very smooth. A very comfortable vehicle. Thank you !!! Hoping it turns out to be a car with minimal issues.

This car has great pick up with good interior space and design. Smooth ride. Third row has easy access but really only fits small children. Plenty of trunk space with third row flat.

Overall it does the job. It shut down on us 1 time traveling on highway out of state. Went from 70mph to nothing at all and had to pull over on highway. Found out there was a software glitch they had to fix. Was a little scary.

looking for a car to make road trips in retirement. Wanted a car that handled well, had a good safety rating and offered come comfort and luxury. Test drive a numeric cars and the MDX was our top choice

our new 2019 acura mdx meets all our needs and is a beautiful smooth solidly built very quiet riding suv and handles exeptionly well on the highway.

This car has all the whistles and bells that I’m still learning how to use but I enjoy it and my wife is very happy with it.

Is a very good looking car with seven sitting and most important is all wheel drive that a big plus because needed that in winter time

Overall the vehicle has been good except that I have had to have towed in twice. The dealer in MN tested the electrical system and the battery and told me they put in a different battery. After the car had to be towed in the 2nd time I found out they had not replaced the battery and they did the 2nd time and have not had a problem since.

The current 2018 MDX is a very good and popular crossover. And in typical Acura form... they've managed to produce a vehicle that has versatility and value. One that has three rows for expanded carpooling, but is a bit smaller than many competitors; one that has a bevy of tech and safety features; and one that is incredibly smooth. For me, a single guy about to turn 30, I made the switch from the TLX sedan to this over 4,000-pound beast for a few reasons (none of which include needing room for 7 haha). But in making that switch, I knew things were going to feel different in terms of driving dynamics. And overall though, I can say it's been fairly seamless and that the MDX was a very familiar feel... highly typical when sticking with the same brand. And while on occasion it feels a tad big (like when parallel parking or weaving through the tight side-streets of a southern New England milltown), overall, I can easily say it drives smaller than it is... which is definitely a plus. Having a wider, more athletic stance its sister Honda Pilot helps it feel very planted in corners and not very top-heavy. The front seats are some of the most comfortable I've ever sat in (and as a car enthusiast, I've been in a lot of different cars). The Tech Package upgrades the sound system, which is absolutely fantastic and highly recommended for audiophiles like myself. Additionally, the Tech Package gives you Navigation, a slew of safety features, and remote start. And I can honestly say, even though it's only been in one snow storm so far, this car may as well be a plow. It's excellent! You actually work hard to get it out of shape, which tells me the traction control, SH-AWD, etc. are all doing their job. Unfortunately though, it's still lacking in some areas, the biggest being the power and drivetrain. I'm sorry Honda, but the ZF-9-speed transmission is garbage! After all the issues that Chrysler has had with it in their vehicles, I see Honda's implementation of it in their vehicles, in a luxury line no less, as an abysmal failure. It's wonky from a dead stop: if you baby it, you go no where... but if you give it any gas, it surges you forward like a rocket (but not in a good way). Believe me, I love a car that can get-up-and-go... but if ever I find a car I like has a ZF 9-Speed Automatic in it again, I'll cross it off my list and keep on looking... I don't care how much I like it. The V6 has a good, throaty sound (as throaty as you can get from a luxury crossover) and it provides decent but underwhelming power, something I attribute to the transmission too. Unlike the potent direct-injection 4-Cylinder I had in the TLX with the 8-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (a match made in heaven, IMO), the big single-overhead-cam V6 just doesn't deliver with the low-end torque, particularly at highway speeds. Yes, it's the "corporate V6", but it's aging... quickly! If I need to pass someone, I find I have to downshift at least two gears just to get going again. A larger turbo would probably be awesome in an MDX (like the 300+ HP 2.3L EcoBoost found in the Ford Mustang). Mate something like that with a better transmission (maybe the 7-speed dual-clutch found in the Sport Hybrid model?) and I think the results would be fantastic! Another part of the car I'm not thrilled with are the brakes. They are strong and quite smooth, but man, they creek incessantly. Every time I'm stopped, when I release the pedal to accelerate, I hear a creek from the brake caliber releasing. For a $50K luxury crossover this is unacceptable, and sadly, it's something Acura has had issues with in their SH-AWD vehicles going back to the 2012 TL! There is also (at least in my 2018) a squeal when hopping on and off the brakes, mostly when reversing (i.e.: when backing into a spot, etc.). I've had two dealers look at the problem... one couldn't figure it out so I received the "it's normal for the car" answer, and the other dealer thought they figured it out but I've heard it since. Not as often, but I've heard it. My concluding thoughts? For the money, the MDX is a really good buy and it IS a really good car. Would I lease another though? Well, it highly depends on what the alleged 2020 redesign brings to the table, because there is room for improvement. One can only hope the redesigned MDX gains more athleticism and power that mimics its smaller sibling, the RDX, while maintaining the smoothness and comfort MDX buyers love.

I have driven cars and big trucks for 30 years, 17 mdx top of the line has the worst ride. I want to turn this back in , for my 04 grand caravan or 87 sentra. It’s AC and seats are great. This is the first car that has ever made me seasick with bouncing and pitching. I drove others, they were not this bad. Will go to the third dealer to see if they can fix. Also, the single reason I won’t buy an acura??? Unless bought at that dealer, the dealer staff does not want to help even if you have a $ 60 k mdx and got service their. Lexus has staff specifically to help with whom you can appt or just walk in. Why has Honda allowed this in Acura ??? I want to support Honda and Acura, but if I need a little help, their dealers should spend a little time

Great ride, lots of power, smooth ride, Acura Certified. Great warranty for a previously owned car. 26.5 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in town.

I was specifically looking at the 2016 model because of the features it offered. The Volvo dealership gave me an opportunity to make my dream come true. In fact, I had so much confidence in them after my initial visit, that I came down to Florida from Wisconsin to purchase the car.

Great looking and very comfortable. Acura is a very reliable car. I have owned four Acura’s and this will be my fifth one. I think it is the best car for the money!

This is a great car , very nice with the styling performance is pretty good with the 6 in it and also gas miles are not bad

This was the only vehicle that caught my eye. I had my Nissan for 13 years and decided to upgrade and I’m happy the Acura MDX did just that. Smooth ride & very comfy compared to my Murano. I was able to find a 2016 with under 26,000 miles at a great price so that makes me love it even more !! :)

This car meets all my needs. I’m driving MDX for 10 years now and never disappointed by the quality and handling. This is definitely great car for the family.

this car has met quite a lot of my expectations, I like the quality service extended to my when I take it to the dealer for service, great performer
