This could be the only negative review of the MDX Type S on the net.
I have the 2024 Type S and it’s amazing. The suspension is unreal, the instant torque at low rpm, the comfortable massaging seats and crazy stereo. Not to mention the SH-awd. The brakes can be a little grabby, the steering is as it should be on a luxury SUV, and the transmission behaves like any transmission in an SUV when driven normally. And you can own it past the warranty period without worry. I doubt people are taking their luxury SUV to the track.
She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. These people are so loyal to BMW & Audi, it’s so crazy nothing can compare. Seems melodramatic to call the MDX underwhelming. Plus, they only test drive, they don’t stay in the cars for to long to make a true recommendation. I take these critic videos with a grain of salt usually
Wrong! The redesign MDX/Type S came out a year before than the redesign Pilot !
This exterior color with those wheels looks amazing!
The narrative does not bring out the obvious full benefits of Acura MDX Type S, Advance Package. I could sense that emphasis was on the cons. There should have been a balanced narration of the pros and cons of this vehicle. This is Acura flagship SUV, and is endowed with improved and advanced features and technology, that were down played
I like the MDX design. Think its sporty and hadles well for everyday drive. The numbers don"t lie, more people are coming back to the Acura brand since 2021.
Is there a day and night difference between the type S and non-type S? I hate the suspension of my advance model. It needs some serious tuning. Riding thru the dips and highs are worst. I like the styling of the mdx compare to other luxury brand out there. I will trade-in this car pretty soon and get a type S.
honestly this car is stunning! seen it in white! and WOW! also air ride! sheesh! cant wait for the next gen MDX :)
This lady don't know what she talking about, The Acura MDX type S is a beast in all categories except the touchpad
I disagree, she nailed every pros and cons.
@CarGurus at least the MDX is way better than the jokes of the luxury midsize segment: the Lexus RX and the Lexus tx
I like the MDX more, but the RX looks pretty damn good. I dunno what they did with the TX 💀
@@preoksaha4504 the tx is a mess tbh. Even the RX. Both of them look ugly vs the Acura. The MDX has a nicer interior than both of them. The MDX has more features, better performance much better driving dynamics better engine transmission sh awd rides better the list goes on
There’s nothing the RX or tx do better than the MDX yet they’re more expensive
Not to mention the MDX doesn’t constantly remind you that you’re just driving a fancy pilot. Because the architecture and platform are different. Whereas the TNGA K platform that underpins the RX and TX also underpins the Camry and rav4, two sub $30k cars. So even at 70-80k you’ll be constantly reminded that the exact same platform of the RX tx are used in those cheap Toyotas
Agreed. Lexus messed up only offering a wimpy 4 cylinder motor on the RX. The TX is fugly.
The MDX is the clear choice here.
Put it in sport mode! And your steering will tighten up. I think she is a mole!!!!🤣😭
I'm going to continue to riot until Acura makes a RDX Type-S
I'm pretty sure they already do
@@johnkoz218They don’t. They easily could with the 3.0L turbo-6 engine they put in the TLX since they most likely have the same platform
@@NileshR12the RDX won’t have a Type S variant until it gets a full redesign. The RDX was out before they started doing Type S again and the engine won’t fit into the current RDX. You can even visually see how much shorter the RDX hood is compared to the Acura models that have Type S variants. They are going to make one in the future just once it gets the redesign.
@@AFCompany makes sense- not even sure if it’ll happen for 25 if it’s just another refresh??
I’ll join your riot
Please review the infinity qx60 autobiography. Please 😅😊
I hope not all ‘Car Gurus’ reviewers are as lackluster and insipid.
This was an overly critical review. Nothing is competing with the Type S at this price point.
Turn off auto start stop and cylinder deactivation and I would buy one. I realize there are kits, but that should be available through a software setting.
For the price they’re charging for this, the second row should have ventilated second row seats like the Genesis GV80 & Lincoln Aviator & Navigator offer
I love the MDX type s . I have the 23 MDX aspect and that one is amazing as well ! Acura/ Honda has did their thing with this one. I am thinking of trading my Aspec for this type s by this summer. This suv will run forever hands down!
Beautiful car, but that price tag..... way crazy. I have driven this car for couple days. Now it has a 10 speed Trans opposed to the early model of 9 and German made Trans
Which do you prefer this one or grand highlander ?
Awesome review! Didn’t know about the GPS-linked climate control or the walk-away close
WOW!! You have nothing but negative feedback 🤦🏽♂️
The MDX front grille is a good looking grille and not hideous looking like so many SUV grilles. The MDX grille is literally the superman symbol😊
Mine is arriving in 30 minutes I’m sure I will enjoy it much more than your review.
"Break-by-wire" is a deal breaker for me for safety reasons.
At least she likes the tail lights...😂😂😂
Thank you for this review. I love Acura &!its badass but I do feel like they could’ve done a bit better tech-wise & interior design-wise at there current price points. I also have a soft spot for them, but competitors are starting to look more attractive to me for what I’d like
Thanks for watching!
I want one😂
I was given an advanced model, and the brake pedal modulation was horrid. The first 1/3 of the brake pedal is dead space.
Own a 2024 MDX Type S. AC & Heat does not work great. The front seat leather has ripples in it. Many things that we do not like and this is our third MDX.
I have owned or driven X7, Q7, Tesla, F150, CRV, Ridgeline, MDX/MDX Type S, she nailed every pros and cons, excellent review!! The MDX Type S engine should be standard for regular MDX, Type S should be something in next level, I think the type S is even slower than my F150, lol.
Great review.
ladie u dont know nothing about cars this is one off the best suv ever made sorry,,,
With the ergonomics issues up front and poor driving dynamics described, I’m not surprised I see few of these on the roads
Depends where you live, these are all over LA. Also her review seems a bit off. Everyone else talks about how well the MDX handles with the SH-AWD and that the engine is great and she straight up said a CVT is better which is complete BS. A V6 with 355hp is worse than a CVT? She is clearly off because no true luxury car buyer would EVER want a CVT.
@@AFCompanyloving mine! It’s been a while since we’ve spoke.
@@bradleyscarreviews ya I know someone who has one and loves it as well. Yes it’s been a while my friend hope all is well. Went to the auto show a couple weeks back and now another friend wants the ZDX haha.
You are definitely in a special area.
@AFCompany Last year I got the MDX for the mrs. At first she wanted something smaller, like the Toyota Venza or the RDX because she has been in bigger size SUVs and they seem too imposing for her and difficult to maneuver especially since we live in a city. I don't like the rear of the RDX. We test drove the MDX and she fell in love. She said she felt Iike she was driving a sedan. She was sold. It literally cost me $20,000 more buying the MDX over the RDX just because I hated those RDX taillights. Anyway, this reviewer clearly has a bias. We have had no issues with ours so far and that touch pad that most people dislike we actually find it easy to use, and frankly functionally safer for while driving versus reaching forward to swipe the screen. Acura should have also made it a touchscreen for business purposes. They are losing a whole lot of sales by not doing so, but for me I would still be using the touchpad 80% of the time. ..it is just ergonomically more natural.
1st of, your girl you don’t understand beauty of a car!!!!!! This mdx type s is beautiful the way it is!!!
Wow she trash the mdx hopefully acura can satisfy her on to the next model
Wow, this review was very negative. It was so negative it borders review/ personal opinion.
Earth is flat
Wow - really appreciate your feedback on the poor performing brakes, steering and transmission! I'll go with the 2024 BMW X5 built to my specs at $77K vs $75K for the Acura. Not question which way to go.
Go drive it yourself before making a decision. And watch more reviews. It is very good. And there is no X5, similarly equipped within $10,000 of it.
As someone who’s owns the 2023 MY of this car I don’t experience any of what she’s talking about and if you look at other online reviews you don’t hear about them either, yes it’s expensive but for what you get it’s very competitive
Damn she's cute....oh and the MDX is nice!
2:55 RDX dash has a better design
5:30 Start up
6:20 Light steering; OK brakes
7:00 *Clunky transmission; typical of Acura*
8:00 No touchscreen for $70k+ 😂
11:50 Abysmal fuel economy
Gunna get CRUSHED by the new Lexus TX.
She thinks complaining g gives her credibility… what a waist of time
Not much of a jdm girl.
Worst review for a Type S
Bmw and Audi spend more time at the dealership garage than an Acura mdx or a Lexus,so please don't listen to someone who drives a car for a day and think they are an expert.
You shouldn't review vehicles that you hate, You should review your cheap Chevy.
