  Great except..... - 2014 Acura MDX
  By bohlson - September 4 - 10:41 am

  After driving a Chevy Suburban for 18 years I am loving the smaller car with its handling and better gas mileage. I purchased the MDX over the competitors because of the reputation for reliability and because I found it more comfortable than the other cross overs. My one complaint though is that when I open the sunroof I get the smell of burnt rubber or something that immediately comes in the car. At first I thought it was sucking in exhaust but I think the smell is coming up the windshield and into the car. The dealership said it is the smell of the new engine and that after 4-5K miles it will go away but I am not sure. 2k miles and it still does it. Anyone else experiencing this smell???

  Acura made a great vehicle even better - 2014 Acura MDX
  By mogulz - August 26 - 8:07 am

  The 14 MDX looks similar to the 13, except for the jewel headlights and less obtrusive beak. But the driving experience is much different. In comfort mode, it drives like a Lexus RX300. In sport mode the suspension and steering tightens up and it drives like a 13 MDX. Normal mode is a happy medium. Power is still impressive. Acura claims it is faster than the 13. I believe it. Mileage is excellent. Ill get at least 26mpg on the highway. Around town has been closer to 20. The technology in the stereo, navigation, bluetooth, etc is impressive, but not intuitive. I have had to flip through the manual on several occasions to do something I had thought was elementary.

  2014 MDX Defect Noticed - 2014 Acura MDX
  By tiffany18 - August 24 - 10:30 am

  Hello Everyone, Tiffany Here in Canada. I purchased a new 2014 MDX two weeks ago. There is a noticeable defect with the rubbber weather strip around the windows of the rear passenger doors. There is a point on the 3 oclock position of the window seal that bends roughly 30 degrees. At that point, the seal is popping out. Looks ugly and water can get inside. I examined all three 2014 MDXs on the dealership lot, they all had this same issue. Dealership doesnt know how to fix it, and Honda Canada is asking the design engineer in U.S. THe 2013 & 2012 MDX have the same 30 degree angle, but no such problem. Im asking all affected owners to ask HONDA to fix this.

  So far so good - 2014 Acura MDX
  By tlsb2001 - August 18 - 8:29 pm

  1900 miles so far. Comfortable on the road. Have had two problems: (1) a rattle coming from the right front (another reviewer mentioned an "annoying sound coming from the glove box...") and (2) stereo control issues. They fixed the rattle -- something related to packing and the front right strut. Stereo issue remains. Sometimes when the iPod is plugged in and I try to change from one playlist to another, it puts up a message: "Generating voice recognition commands..." I have to turn the car off to get rid of the message. Acura has a bulletin about problems occurring when the iPod is not plugged in all the way. Ive confirmed my iPod is securely connected.

  UPDATED REVIEW w/MILEAGE DATA - 2014 Acura MDX
  By joeag8 - August 2 - 6:38 am

  Now that I have 1700 miles on the car, I thought I would provide an updated review to include mileage data. My overall driving habits fall around 65% highway, 35% city, and I currently average a total of 23.9 MPG. After 22,000 miles on my 2012 MDX, the best I was able to achieve was 18.6 MPG, so this is a huge improvement. Many of us have seen reviews with significant MPG stated -heres why. The 2014 has a robust online computer that not only provides total MPG, but per trip MPG as well. I drove from Central NJ to Newark, Delaware twice last week (78 miles each way, 80% highway, 20% city) and averaged 30.9 and 30.7 MPG on each trip, which is impressive for this type of vehicle.

  Keep away from 2014 MDX - 2014 Acura MDX
  By sundragon3 - July 23 - 4:31 pm

  I purchased a 2014 MDX base on 07/04.. It was quiet on test drive and looked much better than 2013 model.. But build quality is too poor.. Fit and finish is much below the average.. The steering wheel is not position in the center.. Annoying sound from the glove box.. Took the car twice for repair.. The dealer fixed the sound problem.. but it stills goes to the right.. Have to take it again.. Keep away from this car.. Nothing but a problem..

  Best Luxury in his class. - 2014 Acura MDX
  By tonirive04 - July 10 - 6:46 pm

  I have had the 2014 MDX since the first day it went on sale. I was following this car since it started the road test on Germany. No disapointment yet. I got the top trim with SH-AWD. My first trip on the hightway the MDX averaged 31.4 MPG, no cruise control, I was speeding around 67 to 70 MPH, a long road trip this weekend average city and highway 28 MPG, so Im happy so far with this. One of the tech parts I most love is the ACC and LKAS, this is basically a self driving car, a small touch to the weel from time to time is the only thing you have to do. The Aha service provided with Acura-Link is not as responsive as I expected. The interior is comfortable, quiet, and well-crafted.

  Impressive - 2014 Acura MDX
  By joeag8 - July 2 - 11:23 am

  Just purchased the 2014 MDX after driving the 2012 model for the past two years. While I loved my 2012, my only disappointment had to do with the fact that it was a bit long in the tooth. I longed for newer technology, so when the 2014 became available, I jumped on it. Wow, am I glad I did- the improvements to what was an already fantastic vehicle are significant.

  Sporty and Comfortable - 2014 Acura MDX
  By bluegoldbobcat - July 2 - 9:38 am

  Have put first 650 miles on 2014 MDX AWD Tech...coming from 2010 SRX...lots of fun to drive, seats very comfortable, but, front edge of driver seat wont tilt forward, so it may be tougher for short legs. Acceleration is smooth and steering feel is excellent...drove the RX too but, MDX sportier handling much more fun...very roomy 2nd seat with new push button slide ...cargo area gives me all I need. Having only 2 option packages from Base forces losing desirable options like heated rear seats, folding rear view mirrors, remote start, parking sensors, better insulation, better leather, etc without paying $8K more for Advance pkg and then you get 16.2 in DVD screen, 22.8 mpg on first tank.
