    Just got a 2024 for a great price they are moving the left over stock. The Infotainment is an improvement but I have no issues with he trackpad I'm totally use to it an its become intuitive. I find when driving its better than reaching for a touch screen. Just my opinion.

      I have a 22 MDX Advance with the TTIP. After 34 months of using it, I can agree somewhat that "you get Used to it". But it really SUX when in Android Auto or Car Play mode. Reviewers rarely spell that out. When i AA mode, the touch pad becomes a very SLOW Mouse pad. I take my eyes off the road much more because the cursor moves so slowly across the board. And, when in AA , you cannot use the center Console USB port to play Flash Drives of music!! This review does NOT tell you that.

    Great review. Nice they added the touchscreen. For folks like me that hate a fingerprint ridden screen I'd have to wipe all the time, I'm fine with the TouchPad in my 24 RDX. Combined with voice commands it's simple enough to operate. Don't understand all the hate it gets really, but nice to have the touch option.

    The old diamond grill is better looking. The new one looks from Genesis.
    As every MDX owner is saying, the AC is weak.
    Suspension need some serious tuning, too much body roll and rough ride, but so not sure on the Type-S.
