2014 Acura MDX SH-AWD Long-Term Verdict - Motor Trend
The MDX didn't just do everything well -- it did everything great. There is nothing the MDX wasn't used for during its time with us. My mind-numbing commute, an hour and a half each way, was actually enjoyable in the MDX. The seats were perfect for the extended time stuck in traffic, ride quality and NVH were more than up to par, performance was always what I wanted, when I wanted it -- it was perfect for me and both my wants and needs. My family loved the MDX, as well. When we packed up for a trip to the beach or the mountains, the MDX always had ample space for whatever we needed. Most of my time in the MDX was solo, giving me plenty of time to reflect on what I liked and didn't like about it. The like column is a laundry list of positives, but the negative column consisted of only two things. Sometimes I could be pinpoint precise with cursor placement, but sometimes just a little tap would move the cursor miles away. For me, the biggest like is how much of a sleeper in terms of driving enjoyment the MDX is. You don't really expect much from an SUV in terms of driving excitement, but the MDX delivers in spades. The engine has plenty of power, the transmission logic works great, brakes were never an issue (provided I didn't treat the MDX like a track car), and the seat kept me nicely contained in my preferred driving position.
