I like that you lie down in the back of SUV's. Giving a cubic foot number does nothing for me. Better to give the lengthxwidthxheight...

This was one of the best reviews I've watched so far on the MDX Type S. Thank you

[AFCompany]

I love this blue interior. Wish it was available on every trim.

Some possible feedback I would offer would be to have someone that is 5’ 10” or shorter sit in third row of any vehicle you review that has a third row. I am personally 510 and sit very comfortably in the third row of the new MDX. Majority of Americans are 5’10” or under and most people that will be sitting in a third row are guaranteed under 5’10”. I think this will provide a more realistic in their opinion on the third row of these types of vehicles. I love your videos.

What an engaging and entertaining review. It was just fun watching you thrash this MDX down a winding backcountry road. This was what I was hoping the Type S variant would be - a blast to drive while being composed. I could do without the gimmicky button transmission shifter but otherwise this looks like a win to me.

Man I’d love to test drive this beast of an SUV!

[MalcolmCir]

Now imagine if the engineers actually did optimize the SH-AWD for a "Trail" soft-road mode. It would be the most well-rounded vehicle in this segment. Or any other segment, for that matter...

I'd love to take this SUV for a test drive!

[rromancunard]

Thanks for share🙏🏻
Probably this is the new king of the middle/big suv.

Acura is doing some pretty amazing stuff in this generation. Wish Honda would consider bringing them to other markets.

I bought a 2024 Acura MDX Type S Advance a week ago. So far I love it and it is so fun to drive.

[Colt.evans]

I’d love to buy this car and I’m seriously considering it. The price tag of these vehicles right now are just crazy though! I have the money to buy it and I’m still second guessing it.

When using traffic assist, if the car comes to a complete stop it will resume forward travel on its own if the traffic it is following begins moving within about 4 or 5 seconds. If the halt is longer than that, then the driver must take anction to resume forward movement. This is the same procedure as on the regular MDX.

[stevenedwards]

Interesting, the second row moves forwards and backwards. So if you move the second row forward a bit you might get and inch or two more legroom in the 3rd row. I do appreciate that it may still be tight for taller people.

Finally! A 3.0 Turbo is where this vehicle belongs! Honda’s 3.5 is very good, but this is better!

[ianandrews]

Great to see a review with some excitement in the vehicle. Looks like a winner for Acura.

[wanglee]

Finally Acura's Type S is making some right moves.

[robertmurdock]

Great review, Ryan! Clearly you had some fun and explained all the systems very well. Now, all I have to do is convince my wife that the vehicle is comfortable, and order one! 👍🏻🔥

[regan]

What a beautiful beast, and that blue leather is slick. Acura is on a roll!

[Slim]

I'm hearing a lot of positive things about this in different reviews!
