I have two MDX's a 2004 and 2012 w/ SH-AWD. Both handle with confidence in Take Tahoe during the winter snow. I've never gotten stuck or couldn't make it up an icy hill like other auto makers.
I live in Colorado and I'm an avid adventurer I bought an MDX because it was a phenomenal deal And it was better for getting into mountains than my Scion tC is and given how far I've taken that TC I think this thing will do very well for me thank you for the video
Pretty impressive how that front left wheel went up yet it had good balance and the rear wheels pushed it through. What are some of the differences between this year and the 2016. Thanks!!
I'm sure Acura would love to hear that ... which I got a commission every time someone bought a vehicle based on my reviews... if so, I'd be a rich man :-)
Thank you... I've said it before and I'll say it again :-) If I get an AWD or 4WD vehicle in the future... I'm taking it off-road. Glad you liked the review. Dave
Thanks for the review, Dave. Winter is right around the corner. Will there be a snow test? There was that one hill the RDX just couldn't make in the snow. I would love to see how the MDX will perform in the same conditions.
sc02 I only get these vehicles for one week at a time. But I will continue to test vehicles at this ORV area this winter.. infact, I just added a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander video: SNOWY ICY Off-Road Review | 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander on Everyman Driver
Just done a test drive of MDX at my local Acura dealership in NJ car is quite nice however it is shame that Acura decided not to offer some features for USA market for example for Canada and Europe markets Acura offering real wood inserts(ash tree from Spain looks fantastic), all around view camera system, heated steering, headlight washers And that is strange considering many competitors offering those options for free or at least for the money ? Fog lights is a dealer installed option for around $500 that is bad ...
looking at buying one used. This video may have sealed the deal. I do go offroad occasionally on some mild trails and my driveway has a section that looks like one of those hills. I want to feel confident it will make it up the hill when it snows.
Knew it would do amazing. Its an Acura! The shawd is amazing! People only ever think of turcks, jeeps, etc... but these things can do amazing off roading.
Nick Larson I completely agree. MDX is awesome..its luxury and off roading is superb.. Jeeps,trucks( hahaha what a joke they are..u drive them over 60 k they are trash after)
Dave were you ever given the option of driving the MDX Advance Package Model?> It had Magneto@ Shock suspension... very cool.... They were discontinued in 2014... Rumor is because of high failure rate because of leaking oil seals in second oil chambers around 80K miles. But when activated for Off Road Driving they raised MDX suspension/Ride height... also vise versa for freeway driving you never felt a bump!

I don't care for the new styling of the MDX but an otherwise good review and love that you took t off-road, but then again when you get any SUV, AWD crossover or 4x4, so that's a given.
Everyman Driver No problem, you are a great reviewer! I love your enthusiasm and reviews. Keep up the great work. You should also change the 2016 MDX to SH-AWD too.
Dave, I love this video! good to know the MDX can do some off road driving as I personal own one, may I request down the road if you can review the Acura TLX SH-AWD and if you can key in the realistic 0-60 acceleration as some of the recent reviews do not key in on it. I'm looking to transition into that vehicle down the road and would want your opinion on it? Best, Drew
Unbelievable! $27K... I own a 2015 Subaru WRX, AWD 6 speed manual, mid package. $28K. My mixed average MPG is 27 MPG. So for about the same price as my car, why the hey would you purchase this Mitsubishi? The AWD is so awesome and well as being fast when you want it. Great trunk. I have my mountain bike in back with back seats folded.
The most backward idiotic statement made so far. Go figure out how your AWD system works then talk. Open diff garbage that you buy has nothing on the SHAWD. Two words. Torque vectoring. Read more.
Hi Erick. Luxury aside, is the MDX the same as the Pilot in 1- off-road AWD capability 2- ride comfort, ie:muting bumps, and road imperfections from the passengers?
JOEL HIDALGO MDX is leaps and bounds above a Pilot. I used to have Pilot EX-L RES 4WD 2011 and my cousins have a 2014 MDX Advance awd. It's better than my Odysseys (2008 Touring PAX and and 2010 EX-L RES) and 2014 Fiesta Titanium Sedan Manual.
OFF ROAD????? i had an 09 then an 14 and cant wait to get rid of it and never again Acura.. my stock 2010 Toyota FJ which i bought to off road has less problems when i beat it then my MDX going to the mall ,, don't mean to offend anyone
Try building a 3 row SUV on any other WEB site that is LUXURY. and don't JUDGE until you test drive it. 56,000 is fully loaded plus its decent gas mileage.
This model looks so feminine I like my 03 more. ALOT MORE Rugged AND AWD CAME STANDARD IN 03 oh yea it is 6 times cheaper and has about the same specs, with more aftermarket options
I have two MDX's a 2004 and 2012 w/ SH-AWD. Both handle with confidence in Take Tahoe during the winter snow. I've never gotten stuck or couldn't make it up an icy hill like other auto makers.
2004 rule 1st gens are very rugged
Still have my 2003 MDX 195k miles! Many many trips to Tahoe and Sierras campgrounds did just fine in snowy icy roads
SH-AWD is no joke.
I live in Colorado and I'm an avid adventurer I bought an MDX because it was a phenomenal deal And it was better for getting into mountains than my Scion tC is and given how far I've taken that TC I think this thing will do very well for me thank you for the video

Very impressive. Been looking at buying one. This vid may have won me over to get one.
I'm sure Acura would love to hear that ... which I got a commission every time someone bought a vehicle based on my reviews... if so, I'd be a rich man :-)
great video dave ! hardly anyone is willing to take the MDX off-road to do a review !
Thank you... I've said it before and I'll say it again :-) If I get an AWD or 4WD vehicle in the future... I'm taking it off-road. Glad you liked the review. Dave
I love watching your videos; you're such a positive person.
This is my next vehicle
Thanks for the review, Dave. Winter is right around the corner. Will there be a snow test?

I do take my 2004 Acura MDX Touring off-road, it performs well, may have slightly more ground clearing than the 2015...
Please do a test drive on snow in the future. Would like to see how it handles with stock tires.
5:22 - 6:33, very surprised!

Dave, the new Subaru outback for a AWD off-Road will be appreciate! thanks!
👍
I will if I get one, I promise!
outback will be a good try
Knew it would do amazing. Its an Acura! The shawd is amazing! People only ever think of turcks, jeeps, etc... but these things can do amazing off roading.
Awesome review though. Love your channel.

Cfox2000 I don't have any say in the vehicles I receive. It's all random. I can request one but I get what they send me.
Everyman driver, sorry for that rude guy I love your videos and your Acura is so great I have one too nice to see it off road
That was awesome! love it on three wheels.
impressive, if you installed off road tires see that thing will fly
even more impressive they left traction control on. the SH-AWD works really well in off road conditions.
good job, that is a proper AWD
255 55 18s BFG T/A KO2 KILLER COMBO
Pretty long wheelbase, what's the ground clerence looks pretty low
Comparison between the Infiniti QX60, not the QX70.
I hope acura make an off road version of the Mdx just like what honda did to their pilot trailsport.

the title should be OFF ROAD Review: 2015 Acura MDX SH-AWD on Everyman Driver
***** Done, thx
Everyman Driver No problem, you are a great reviewer! I love your enthusiasm and reviews. Keep up the great work. You should also change the 2016 MDX to SH-AWD too.

Andrieu Reyes We are getting the 2015 TLX on Feb. 20th. If the roads are safe and dry, we'll do a 0-60 test.
Beautiful mdx and great video

You are an idiot.
FrankMD11 Very smart answer. You clearly are the brilliant one here.
FrankMD11 wow, that's it?
Is the WRX a SUV.... oh wait..... DUH when I read that I could see a picture of Homer Simpson driving this thing.
Cool 2nd row seat button, the 3rd row is a freaking joke.
What did you have the IDS mode set on? If you was in Sport mode you can not turn off the TC.
impressive video. It was all i need to see to buy one.
Raymond Demery That's great! Glad this helped you decide!
Very nice video by the way.
does the comfort act as an eco mode? Does the Variable Cylinder mode engage on all driving modes ?
Almost as good as a Subaru on that uphill ;) Btw, you guys look like brothers lol.
mrmarco53 .
Honda's all wheel drive systems are really good off-road.

Please Test Land Rover Discovery 4

less problems when i beat it then my MDX going to the mall ,, don't mean to offend anyone
you look like glen powell
Could anyone tell me what state this "offroad park" is in, i'm from the U.K and I was just wondering what kind of environment this is?
FLABEX224 Spokane, Washington - Dave
Awesome, I'd love to go there one day
$56,000 for that thing!?! It better be good off-road
This is fully loaded, with literally everything.
Try building a 3 row SUV on any other WEB site that is LUXURY. and don't JUDGE until you test drive it. 56,000 is fully loaded plus its decent gas mileage.

This model looks so feminine I like my 03 more. ALOT MORE Rugged AND AWD CAME STANDARD IN 03 oh yea it is 6 times
cheaper and has about the same specs, with more aftermarket options
The best
The GPS is horrible funny u didn't review that portion
You get used to it. Yes it's not the best, but it still does its job.
That's not off road that's a dirt trail. really you people don't know what off road is apparently
