Extremely Reliable and minimal maitenence

This is my second Acura MDX, they are so worth the money (currently own the 2012). However, I've heard from 2 mechanics, very familiar with Acuras, that the major redesign of 2014 doesn't have the same reliability as the prior year models. I'm so glad I bought the 2012 (new) and it still drives like "a dream" (its Aug 2024 as I write this).

An extremely versatile vehicle that does everything I need it to and more.

This car has taken me on mountain biking roads trip to Idaho, towed a full size boat to the lake many times, gotten be to 10,000 foot peaks in blizzard conditions and performed extremely well the entire time. I could ramble on forever about every detail of this vehicle but we might end up with a 30 page paper.

Best Mid-Size SUV

You get the reliable engineering of Honda with the incredible technology of Acura. What you get is this sporty and nimble SUV for fun driving with the creature comforts you could only expect from a luxury brand. My wife has a 2012 MDX with the tech package. Even at 8 years old, its luxury specs are on par with current vehicles. It has been so ahead of its time that it is still current to vehicles in 2020. Wireless headphones, entertainment center in the rear, Bose stereo system, heated front and rear passenger seats. My Avalon doesn't even have heated rear seats! The crazy thing about this vehicle's reliability is that all mechanics keep telling us that it is just getting into its second life and could last us another 10 years with how well it is aging under the hood, body and interior! Best SUV I have ever bought.

Great Vehicle

Solid ride, mechanically sound with good space and 8 passenger seating. Headlights bright and excellent coverage. Great materials for seating and carpets plus the wood look on the dash and console. Great road car.

Love this car

I bought mine new in 2012, and have done regular recommended services (although not always on time...giv or take a few thousand miles). This car is bombproof. I’m at 217k currently and have never experienced any severe issues, all standard maintenance stuff. It’s running great and I’m hoping to make it to 400k. I will absolutely buy another MDX when this one decides its had enough of my aggressive and erratic driving style. Well done Acura. You know how to build a solid and reliable car.

Sporty but sophisticated

Love my 2012 Acura MDX. I can pack a ton of stuff....or my dog....in the cargo space, but still feel like I am in a luxury car. It is the definition of understated elegance!

Drives Like a Steath Bomber

The car drives like a dream. It is so smooth and pick up is amazing. Love 90% of this car. The only negative things are 1) weird gull-wing storage compartment in center console leaves almost nowhere for cell phone. Missing area to put anything down if you are eating in the car. 2) some kind of disagreement between the super sensitive power steering and powertrain. Requires a delicate touch.

MDX is Great

This is our third Acura MDX and I continue to purchase them as they are well built, safe and ride well, plus have many extra features now available in other vehicles.
