2011 Acura MDX Consumer Reviews

Simply Awesome

Vehicle

2011 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD w/Technology, Entertainment Package (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Very nice package - I've had about 30 different new cars and trucks over the years and this is a package that has sport, utility, technology, comfort, reliability, and safety all wrapped into a single package. I have 2500 miles on my 2011 Tech with Entertainment system. Not one thing has gone wrong. Enjoy every ride / trip in it. Plenty of power and nice powerband with 6 speed transmission.

MDX quality and reliability

Vehicle

2011 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Was so happy after bought a 2011 MDX Base model on Saturday, however discovered a problem the very next day that it would jerk when decelerating from 35~40MPH to around 15MPH without breaking. The jerk is 100% reproducible and getting worse and worse. Brought back to dealer twice and finally convinced them it is problem that need to be fixed. Eventually they figured out that a secondary valve on the transmission is faulty! How could this happen on a brand new car? After replacing $200+ part, the problem is fixed. My new car has to stay in the shop for 3 days in the very first week. Really worry about the build quality. It will be my last and final MDX.

Worst car ownership experience

Vehicle

2011 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Within two weeks after purchasing the MDX, with 300 miles only, transmission fluid leaking was found. It took 2 days for the dealership to fix the problem. It's a nightmare owning this car. This will be my first and last Acura.

Love it!!!!

Vehicle

2011 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD w/Technology Package (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I have had this car for about 3weeks and I LOVE IT. I've owned an Acura before so I knew what to expect. I traded my Infiniti G35 for this AWD. I Love EVERYTHING about the car except a few things like not having a push start, and the Gas Millage could be a lil bettter. Moving to Cleveland so will need an AWD can't wait to see how it does!!!!

MDX with Tech Package

Vehicle

2011 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD w/Technology Package (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I purchased 2011 MDX from Pohanka Acura, largest dealer in U.S. Got the best deal from all dealers in DC area. Others not even close. Pro: Fit and finish; ride and tech package; Con: gas mileage, third row seats for adults cramped; visors cheap; premium gasoline; not enough cup holders; Overall, very satisfied and expect to keep 5+ years. Still a much better value then the BMW X5; Mercedes GL/M Class; Infiniti QX56; Cadillac Escalade and Lexus GX460.

Nice ride, but-------------

Vehicle

2011 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD w/Advance Package (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Living in central Florida but bought in IL. have seen a vast variety of driving situations. Handles excellent on snow and ice and does well with side gusts of wind. Considered Enclave but build quality of Acura far superior. MDX built like a vault. Would like to see better gas mileage and wonder why the need for premium fuel and no cyl. deactivation as in my past Honda van. Mileage as advertised though. Only problem so far is occasional cruise control issues as it will cancel and car has to be shut off to get it to work. No help from Acura on this. Best radio I've ever had by far and I've had some good ones. In black with optional chrome wheels, it's a beauty I love to drive.

Great family SUV.

Vehicle

2011 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD w/Technology Package (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I have owned my MDX for 6 months and am very happy with the choice. I looked at the Mercedes M-class, the Audi Q5, a Subuaru Outback, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. I chose the MDX because it had the best overall package for my needs: nice interior for work, rear leg room, navigation system and electronics, and good handling. The navigation system and voice commands are the best - recognizes the voice easily. However, it is not optimized for all Blackberry phones, so keep that in mind. This SUV drives like a car and is a breeze to park. Kids don't complain in back seat and I have teenagers. Great family car.

Excellent Value

Vehicle

2011 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD w/Technology Package (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I've had the MDX for about 2 months and have driven it about 1k miles. It handles well for an SUV and the quality and the technology is equivalent to that of BMW and Lexus. I also, considered the A4 and A6 Audi, Avante, The A4 was too small and the A6 was not readily availability subsequently the dealer were asking nearly list price for the A6. Overall, I'm pleased with the car and would suggest others in the market for an SUV to test drive the MDX.

Very Good Value, Fun, Some Improvements Needed

Vehicle

2011 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD w/Technology, Entertainment Package (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I have had my '11 Nav/Tech for about a month now and I am overall very happy. The engine is silky smooth and the seats are very comfortable-it is a pleasure to drive. The tech "stuff" is great-nav, voice, IPod recognition...I also looked at the Audi Q7 (close 2nd choice) and BMW X5 (distant 3rd choice). My small complaints about the MDX are the fake wood trim, it is plastic. When the sun hit's it, it blinds you. Also, the visors are very flimsy. No big issues so far other than my AC is giving me a bit of a funny smell, probably needs a new air filter. Should be a reliable, fun SUV.

2011 MDX Advance

Vehicle

2011 Acura MDX 4dr SUV AWD w/Advance Package (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

Review

MDX = Multi Dimensional LuXover. It's not a rugged 4x4 SUV and its not a sports car but it is AWD and a luxury performance way to 5+2. Compared to 2011 others in its class (and be certain to compare the same class) ... Ten: Infinity FX - Nine: Grand Cherokee Overland - Eight: Land Rover LR4 HSE - Seventh: Volkswagen Touareg V-6 - Sixth: Volvo XC90 Sport - Fifth: Lexus GX470 - Fourth: Mercedes-Benz ML350 - Third: BMW X5 3.0si - Second: Cadillac SRX AWD V-8 - First: Acura MDX. Better price, handling, dependability, fit, finish. Enuff said ! Pros: Luxury Performance Value Dependability ! Cons: Single engine drivetrain choice - no Turbo, diesel, hybrid.
