2016 Acura MDX - Advance package 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

Purchased: 2016 MDX Advance. This is my second MDX (my wife's car), and while I am big fan of the vehicle, Acura made some horrible tweaks to the car. If I were to buy this car again, I would try to find a 2015 model. The interior is beautiful with great materials. The ride quality is excellent and always gives confidence. There are three main issues with this car. The transmission is truly horrible. I am car guy who has owned many cars and have never experienced such a bad transmission. Please release a software update to fix this. The auto-idle is poorly executed, and there is no way to permanently turn it off. Infotainment system is dated, and the GPS in mediocre. Interior is great. Remote start feature is worth the money. The safety features are good (the reason I bought this car) ... (more)

Story

When I went trucking, I had fun with someone. They didn't know about my specific route, so they went the wrong way.

Pros

Interior is great. Remote start feature is worth the money. The safety features are good (the reason I bought this car) even though they are a bit intrusive. I would stay away from the advance model and just get a tech with the AcuraWatch Plus. I also wanted to comment on the new shifter buttons. You have to look at them to make a change, and they just seem like an extra step. I also used to rest my hand on the shifter which I can no longer do. If Acura doesn't do a better job of implementing their changes, then I will be looking elsewhere when my lease is up.

Cons

Reprogram the transmission. Driving under 25 miles an hour (my town's speed limit) feels like there is a drag on the engine, and the shifting is not smooth. Putting the car is sport mode (which my wife did by accident during her first drive) makes the car buck and jerk at low speeds. Did anyone at Acura actually drive this car before releasing it? Fix auto idle or allow for it to be easily turned off (permanently). I have rented many cars with this feature, and this is one of the worst implementations. Acuras used to be known for their great technology. The infotainment system is really da... (more)

2016 Acura MDX - Great all around family SUV

I really like the quiet ride of this car. The ride is very comfortable, quiet, and smooth. I have never owned a car that is as quiet and comfortable as this car. This car has a superior and solid build, not rattles, shakes, or noises. If I were to complain about anything, it would be the city MPG average is pretty low, but normal for an SUV. It is also not the greatest in the snow so you would have to spend another $1,200 on snow tires to improve.

Story

I remember driving my daughter's friend around with their lacrosse bags and school bags. They liked when I showed up to give them a ride home because there was always plenty of room for their sticks, bags, and extra bags.

Pros

Top positive attribute for the MDX is the great ride. It is so quiet on the highway that you really cannot hear the motor running. Highway gas mileage is very good for an SUV. Very roomy also for a three-row SUV. This car also handles very well, brakes very well, and has a really tight turning radius.

Cons

When the third-row seat is up, there is room comfortably for six adults, but very little room for any additional bags behind the third row. Maybe two or three carry-on size suitcases would fit. Also city MPG is pretty low.
