Well done review. Normal speaking voice, no yelling or other frivolous methods of keeping our attention. Much appreciated!

[sc_edits]

I have the exact same Acura MDX as shown in the video. We love it! Its very good.

[ZeerXX]

there is not a suv in this category that looks better than this. Not overdesigned, striking lines and super reliable.

[Pinkpolo]

When did my boy Forrest get on this channel??? Where have I been???

I am totally impressed bought my first Acura MDX a spec 2022. Platinum White Pearl/red interior. Great review!

I appreciate Acura for keeping real buttons in the climate control section, unlike Infiniti and their capacitive panel for climate controls in their upcoming QX60.

Just bought 2022 MDX TECH - Performance Pearl Red - I am happy camper - love the quite responsive ride and it is just a great looking SUV

One sexy ass car. This car is miles apart from its competitors. Acura nailed it!

[AlexBAlixir]

Forrest. Great to see you over here at CarGurus. Great job on the MDX A-Spec review. Love the looks of the MDX.

[MrFreeze]

Acura makes my favorite cars. They're not perfect, but Acura always gives you a well balanced car. This one is beautiful.

Count on Forrest for detailed reviews 👏🏽 ! I’d check out the Type S variant or a loaded GV80 ! There’s nothing luxurious about paying $300 for an oil change at a BMW or MB dealer 🙄!...or the mere mention of reliability issues down the road.

Nice video review!!, I really like how this man explain every single detail of the car, this is how a car review must be done, not like others people with boring videos where they only shows some secs of the exterior and interior, and then all most part of the video with a camera showing them siting driving and talking, talking and talking...

Congrats to you Forrest on hoping the CarGuru team!! I had to do a double look when I saw the Thumbnail lol! Been following your reviews for a long time, you will be a great addition to their team.
Now as far as the MDX...
This miles ahead of the previous gen, although it’s sad to see the huge front armrest console go away. I’m sure they had to make room for all of the wiring for the new electrical components in that area.
Also I’m not sure why Acura strangely omits certain things from the A-spec trim. I’m seriously trying to think of one competitor that doesn’t offer a 360° camera. Living in Florida I can take or leave the heated steering wheel, but I hope it offers ventilated seats.
Otherwise a great vehicle. I don’t think the GLE, Aviator, X5, Q7 or GV80 have anything to worry about here, but this is great option or alternative for those considering a RX350, Grand Cherokee, XC90, Enclave, QX60, or XT6.

Forrest it’s great to see you on CarGurus. Great honest review!

[chillryan]

Have to admit, I'm glad they kept the J35 around for some of that high end VTEC-yo

[richardmacpherson]

There are a lot of guys doing car reviews but you’re one of the best.

[sseilheimer]

Great review Forrest! This rig looks amazing. I don't have the income to seriously consider anything luxury, but man this is a pretty car.

[DevilDawg]

I own a 2015 MDX and it’s the best vehicle that I have ever owned. To say that I love it is an understatement. I would, however, jump at this 2021 version. It is flat out sexy.

[crimson]

What an awesome review!! honestly one of the most detailed and informative reviews Ive seen...thank you!

Great review. I recently purchased a 2020 RDX after previously driving 3 Honda Accord coupes, the latter with touring trim. The features of this vehicle are amazing
