Acuras are great! I’ve got an Acura RL with 650k miles on it and I’m just now changing the fuel injectors. Runs like a new car still.

I worked for Honda in Ohio around 1995. I only did data entry but I could feel it was a really good company.

[rickwolfgang]

I own 2 Acura. 2016 RDX Advance- just hit 114, 000 miles, timing belt change is set in a week. 07 TSX- 232, 000 miles, looks and runs like new. I believe 1/ 2 a million miles will be no problem.
13 mpg is because he was on it all the time. I just drove across the country and got 28.5 mpg while doing 80 mph. Around town, 19 mpg.

[-SP.]

I am not an SUV guy but the MDX is easily one of the best looking SUVS

[braydenmartindale]

Love Acura.. I have an 09 MDX with 350, 000 and it drives like new.. basic maintenance only, changed timing belt and water pump at required intervals is the only expensive maintenance I’ve ever done. Everything works no burnt lights no weird sounds or anything just perfect!

My brother in law is an engineer at Hondas Anna Ohio plant and he gets 2 new vehicles every 2 years as part of his employment. His Pilot is amazing. His old Accord he used to drive every day had 390 thousand miles on it when he sold it and it ran great still. They are a very good company and strive to build reliable vehicles while paying their employees well.

[jameswalterhoefer]

I bought a new MDX back in 2004 and its running strong with 360, 000 miles on it. It's a great SUV.

For so long, many ridiculed Acura for holding on to SH-AWD and considered it marginally worthy. Well, they have mastered it and on the MDX and TLX-S, the handling is amazing!

[danieltaylor]

Last year we purchased a 2017 Lexus GX460. We tow a boat and wanted a body on frame truck design. I get 17 mpg town 21 to 22 mpg on highway with an 4.6 8 cylinder engine and full time 4 wheel drive. I looked at Honda's but they don't make body on frame vehicles and the Lexus was very comfortable as well as luxurious. For our purposes, an MDX wouldn't do.

As an author in Alabama, I mail 85% of my books to 1, 249 retailers, but also drive my new 2022 MDX ACURA and it is just like Scotty says, a terrific vehicle in every way. I can set my adaptive cruise and it drives through heavy rain when the Gulf Stream weather lets mother nature do its thing. You can get 25 cases with just the third row down and still room for four adults. As far as buying those E.V's NO way, as you can not take those long trips for autograph signing on the beaches of Gulf Shores, or long trips to say Huntsville, etc., as most states still do not have enough of level 2 charging stations and who wants to sit for many hours charging or even get a hotel room while you charge. I do like the new E.V. Acura MDX coming and maybe in five years we can buy one and not have driver anxiety from worry about running out of battery power. This is a winner in every way and my wife and I love the tech too. You will not be sorry if you trade up to the Acura MDX, and unlike those German brands you will not be sitting for repairs, etc., at the dealership! Scotty can tell you about those German brands too. Honda engines and transmissions last for ever and believe me, I can not find any Acura owner that says anything bad about their vehicle!

I think this is the first time Scotty didn’t throw the beauty cover onto the ground 🤣🤣

[AccordAW]

Scotty I think the reason Honda still uses a belt with their V6 engines is because it idles very quietly and smooth, thus adding to overall luxury experience. They are pretty tough belts too! My friend just changed one in an Odyssey, it was the original one with 243K. I'd run them to a 100k without a second thought, the J series is a well engineered motor.

[bradtrades]

Had a 2008 MDX, and never a day of problems with it. Quality just as you say. Gas mileage averaged 16MPG, marginally better on trips. A friend needed a new (to him) SUV so just recently sold it or would otherwise still be driving it. One huge advantage to my mind though if I was looking to buy new is the Lexus (non-hybrid) burns regular fuel, the MDX only premium, which is a big difference with prices now.

[claybowler]

We were looking at Lexus before I became brand loyal to Acura. The local Lexus dealer upset us during the deal, and we found ourselves dealing with Acura the next day and never looked back. They are a great value compared to other luxury brands.

[btrdangerdan]

I like how the driver of the car is having an amusing time laughing with Scotty in the background 😂

[kubrick]

We loved our first Acura so much that we purchased 3 more throughout the years. They are well built, engines last forever, very little maintenance/repairs needed. We LOVE them.

[killeregg]

I currently own a 2022 Mdx A-Spec. The track pad is a little awkward but overall its a fantastic vehicle. The A-Spec package is a must! Best bang for the buck in my opinion

[Blank]

The big reason why I'd take Acura over Lexus now
Acura's interior is more ergonomical as they are still on Team Buttons. Lexus, however, migrated over to Team Touchscreen-Everything, which is less ergonomical and less redundant

[eddieyutub]

I have a 2012 MDX 3.7 l. I agree everything about the performance. My steady speed MPG ranges from 30 miles per gallon to 20 from 40mph to 70 mph respectively. If I drive hard all the time it will be 13 miles per gallon for sure. This car makes you want to drive hard because it's so smooth and very agile. It's the most agile SUV out there maneuverability Is like sports car.
