Reviews for Acura MDX

Overall Rating

4.6 out of 5 (106 reviews)

My wife and I owned a '15 Pilot and sold it because my wife felt it was "too big" for her to drive comfortably. Months later we missed the convenience of having a a multiple passenger vehicle, so we went shopping again. She saw an MDX and asked, "what is that?". I told her it was just like a Pilot, but she wanted to try it. We drove one and bought one from CarMax. I drive it more often than she does, but she is more comfortable with the MDX (I know, but that's what she claims). I personally love the MDX. We went on a very long road trip (11 states!) and I'm not a person that likes to drives long distances, but I enjoyed the trip immensely! We love the safety features, quiet ride, roomy interior and the little extras that they offer over the Pilot. It just suits us very well.

Pros

• Seat Comfort: Our Advance seats 7 people. We've had no complaints from any of our passengers about comfort. On long trips, it's wonderful!
• Cabin Noise: Very quiet. Almost too quiet. I didn't hear an ambulance coming until it was very close to me. Taught me to listen more carefully for now on.
• Reliability: I buy products that have a greater chance of being reliable. That's why I bought an Acura.

Cons

• Technology and Entertainment: The model year we have does not have a digital speedometer. For my wife (from a different country) the digital speedometer is much more convenient. Not a problem. I ordered a small display and placed it just left of the instrument cluster on the dash. Hid the wires. It gets the speed from satellites. Works great! Problem solved.
• Power: I would not say this is a con. The MDX has 3 modes for driving. The normal mode is not aggressive and gets better fuel economy ( we get around 26.5 mpg with mixed city and highway driving). But when you want to let this thing go, pop it in sport mode and you can feel the difference. It's like the engine "wakes up". The steering is stiffer too. When I need to have that extra "punch" I pop it into sport mode and it delivers, then I put it back in normal mode and it does everything I need. I'm not a NASCAR driver. I just want a comfortable, secure and economical (as much as you can expect from a vehicle this size) ride, which the MDX is all of that and more. The 3rd mode is comfort. The steering is very "soft" in that mode and does not suit me well.

i would not recommend CarMax to a friend… the price is too high.. APR is too high in most circumstances. certain locations aren’t professional and honestly I don’t want the car anymore my check engine is on I’ve only had it for 4 months as of July my oil sensor constantly beeps on and off, my wheel alignment needs to done, I’m selling the vehicle back to carmax

Pros

• Interior Space: it’s a great family suv

Cons

• Braking: absolutely not! i was almost in an accident I asked for CarMax to fix it.. I was referred to a partnership mechanic where it still was not fixed. not satisfied
• Dashboard: all of my lights are on I’m confused as to why I have not received a call back on the complaint I made with customers relations it’s been like 2 weeks maybe 3
• Cabin Noise: my vehicle now makes this chain like noise.. I may need some work done in which I’ve complained about in the beginning my gas burns extremely fast! my rear door does not automatically close sometimes so there has to be an issue there I just don’t want this vehicle

- Sonjita bryan, 2011 Acura MDX

It's a Honda essentially so the build quality is very good. The reliability is top notch and it's super comfortable. Takes corners like a car but heavier and more robust and sure footed than a car. Comfortably holds 7 people with the rear jump seats. Comes with the tow package and great entertainment system. The Bluetooth is easy to setup and a clean and reliable functioning system without the need to restate things over and over. Heated seats (no cooling in mine) and a quick to get hot heater make it perfect for winter. AC is chilly and perfect. Split zones for climate control. Memory for seat positions. Large glove box and cubbies.

Pros

• Cabin Noise: quiet - great soundproofing compared to say, Toyota 4Runner
• Ride and Handling: Smooth, like sailing on a magic carpet but can still "feel" the road
• Interior Space: roomy, adequate, comfy, memory seats.

Cons

• Fuel Economy: Not that I don't like it - but you're using premium all day every day here. You can get real time usage reports in the dash so drive economically and you will be fine.
