It’s 2024 and today I Just bought a 2016 Pre owned Acura MDX. I am so in love with this car. I’m a short 5’3” and I love how the seat adjusts higher so I can see everything. It’s the smoothest and most quiet vehicle I’ve ever owned. But don’t let that fool you; this thing has some real power. The amount of storage, leg room and space is incredible. The lines on the backup camera that move as you turn the steering wheel is more helpful than just a regular camera and I never knew how much I needed it until now. The only thing I don’t like, is there is no digital read out of the speedometer. Other than that, this is a highly recommended vehicle.
I own a 2016 MDX SH-AWD Advance with the wide screen tv in the back and it is hands down the best vehicle i have ever owned. The power is amazing as is the handling of the vehicle even in construction areas where the road gets a little wild. This car handles so well!!!! I am so glad I purchased this vehicle. I am a huge ACURA fan and this is my second MDX. My original one was a 2004 with 230K on it and she still ran great! Highway reliable and everything. I LOVE MDX!
This is a great video. I watched it 5 months after I purchased MDX 2016, now realized how awesome it is. If you are buying or already bought MDX, I suggest you to watch this video. Thanks to the presenter.
Thanks Mike. Just purchased my Acura MDX Tech package on Friday and I love it! Your awesome tutorial was very helpful in preparing me to operate my new car like a pro. Still learning how to get on the setting programmed but the main basic stuff I've got down. The pace in which you teach this tutorial was perfect for me. 1st Drove home from Austin in a storm and I wasn't overwhelmed by all the buttons. This is the best tutorial for the 2016 MDX. Thanks again.
We had a 2010 and recently bought the 2016 MDX. We are one hundred percent Acura believers as this is our third. The first MDX went to our daughter after my wife for her first car and after college she sold it to my sister. It’s now at 298000 miles and is used a s a guest vehicle should someone need one. We just gave my wife’s TSX to our youngest daughter so my wife wanted another MDX and here we are. Very reliable, safe, economical as far as gas and one hundred percent a smooth luxury feel. :)
It is definitely an older Acura design, but I still do like this older MDX. Very simple, very comfortable, and love the sound of the Honda 3.5L V6 that we know and love. Most people don't like the dual screens, but personally, it's very easy to use and much more simpler for me, and I appreciate that.
Hi Mike. Yes this is a nice vehicle. My 4th Acura. Currently I own a black/black 2016 MDX. One of my favorite features is the key fob which not only sets seats for driver 1 and 2 but the radio stations, color of the back ground screens, temperature setting and mirror settings. I've had my MADDOX for 3 months and still learning new features. Maybe I'll visit again as more info is learned about this new member of my family. Great job on your review! dh
This was a great video!! I just bought this car and this video helped me love it even more. I am very pleased with my purchase and the features of this car.
Good video. Many of the front dashboard pieces are plastic for safety reasons. Imagine if you were in a car accident and you shove your face or body part to a metal dashboard. You can get seriously injured. Many of your luxury cars use a lot of plastic knobs and dials for safety issues, not to say they are being cheap. Great Video Mike!
Thanks for the review. Very good indeed. I had 2013 MDX and love it. The ride is smooth and sturdy esp. in hwy. After 48000 miles, I had problem with battery. After driving about 50-60 miles stopping the car, the car won't restart. So I took to the dealer. They found out that HandsFreeLink (HFL) drain the battery. So they change HFL.
Thanks very informative & in-depth, just a day before I bought my self a 2016 Tech package MDX, I read the manual briefly, but your video taught me a lot. Thank you again, for the rest I will follow the manual.
This is an awesome review of pretty much most of the important and cool features of Acura 2016. I am buying one day after (which has 16k miles on it) and wanted to know details, this video helped me a lot in making my decision. Thank you Mike.
Thank you Mike! You gave an AMAZING review and you convinced me and my parents to look into this car (even more)! Thanks to your review my parents want to buy the MDX with the Tech pkg. I greatly appreciate this review and would like this infant times. Keep up the good work:)

Thank you for this very informative video that would really help me a lot understanding in general all the stuff on my new 2016 MDX. Just bought it today and I love it a lot!!..
very informative, well done. Trading in my Lexus Rx for a 2106 MDX this week, same money but you get lots of more room and features from the MDX for the same price range.
What ever you do don't get Acura MDX I Owen 2016 mdx advance Shitty car not worth 63k with taxes and everything You will regret it Google 2016 mdx transmission problems
There is a Acura service bulletin 15-054 that lists all the infected model that require software updates. if you cannot find it send me your email and I can send you the list I from Jan 12, 2016
Angel not yet I went to get one and someone was there purchasing it when I got there lol. I’m actually on the fence between that and the VW Atlas as well
@@isaacartis4801 which one did you ultimately buy? I used to sell both Acuras and VW‘s. I absolutely love Acura MDX! I have driven a MDX since 2013 and will continue to buy just MDX as the years go by. Even if I can’t afford to have multiple cars, I will always make sure MDX is in the mix!!!
For me, I still love the look of this older MDX. The new one is great, but still, this older interior is very simple and inoffensive. People can definitely be able to use this in no time.
Yes I love your photo and videos and I bought a 2016 acura mdxi love very much and I happy for it and thanks fir your videos it taught me another cool❤
Very thorough review, thanks. I would expect a high end suv like this to have a much better info/entertainment hud. The style of the controls look like something created in the 90's. And the distance between the control knob and the top screen just seems dangerous. The engineers at Acura should sit in a Tesla. My favorite feature is the 2 pane glass.
+Christian Baptiste Also wondering what you mean by "much better" As a TLX owner, I know he left off a few items but I have sat in a Tesla and am not clear on what you find lacking here.
Good information. Have a car just like the one in your video, love it. It is my second MDX. Would like to know more about updating "grace notes" and adding or editing songs on the hard drive. Thanks for your video.
One My great aunts has this car it has the black with tan interior. She has bought this since 2016 and still has it after all these years. Also My great uncle currently has a 2011 GMC Yukon SLT Which is silver with tan leather interior.
I own a 2015 TLX. Have been hunting around for the 2016's to no avail. As far as your video, what's the diff between SPORT/Drive and the Sport through the IDS system? Are they identical? One feature you MAY have left out is the warning from cross traffic upon backing up (if the MDX has it. The TLX does so I assume the MDX does too)
love your great, patient and in-depth Job. so nice. and next time, try getting someone to handle the camera for you. Thanks so much, Will soon update my MDX to this version, Thanks again (from Nigeria)
Thank u for this wonderful video. Ur a good teacher. Just bought my 2nd Acura 2016. I love it so much. I'm actually having trouble with the navigation. Would like if u can help with how to use it. Thanks 🙏
Reading the comments here it seems not all of the 2016 owners are experiencing the transmission issues? Could it be only that it takes time to adjust to this type of transmission or is it really a problem?. Have heard that Acura has provided software update (TSB 15-054 12/22/15) for its trasmission issue and that has mitigated this issue. Can 2016 MDX owners please give some idea if the software update worked for them and that no more transmission issues? Was interested in buying MDX 2017, but transmission problem is the only issue holding me back. Not sure if it will exist in 2017 or not. A 20-30 mins test drive on 2016 last year and didn't experience any trasmission issues.
+Connor Carto My TLX side mirrors auto fold down when backing up. Otherwise it would be manually if you need some extra room. THEY DO ALSO HAVE lcd LIGHTS ON THE BACK TO INDICATE TO DRIVERS IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE which way you intend to turn.
Hi sup ma guy I love the video I my self looking to buy an acura mdx I been looking around all I see is 157,423 mile range am looking between 40 to 50 thousand miles range
Possibly. It depends on how quick the transmission shifts and how much torque the engine has. More gears makes less strain on the engine and helps get better fuel economy though.
I'm pretty sure that in 2014, Acura switched to the 3.5L from the 3.7L. They went from the six-speed to nine-speed transmission with the third generation, too.
Don't get this car it has a transmission problem I bought my car brand new 2016 advance $60000 After 1 month the transmission started acting weird Took it to the dealer he said there are couple of customers complaining about the same exact thing and that Acure is working on a software update and that was 3 months ago still no update or fix Google :2016 MDX transmission problem Click on one of the links you will see a lot of 2016 MDX owner complaining You will see it for your self
+AFG647 Thanks on the info! Was going to buy a brand new MDX black on black too! Sales gal never mention this transmission problem in the conversation!
New 2016 Honda pilot with the 9 speed automatic is also no good. Almost bought one and thanks to the Piloteers forum I canceled it. Probably the same transmission in these MDX vehicles.
Im driving a 2002 MDX given to me by my father. He changed the transmission when it was his car 2 weeks after it became my car the transmission blew. If youre going to get ANY acura prepare to get a new transmission
2024 and buying an used Acura MDX 2016. Awesome video.

Is it hard on gas? Do you use regular gas?

One of the best MDX walk through review. Good work.
Just bought a used 2016 . This video was super helpful for me to follow. Thanks for explaining all the features in a simple and clear manor.
I'm thinking of getting a 2016 MDX. I have a 2008 Honda Accord right now and ready to upgrade. How are you liking the 2016 MDX?
We had a 2010 and recently bought the 2016 MDX. We are one hundred percent Acura believers as this is our third.

I Owen 2016 mdx advance
Shitty car not worth 63k with taxes and everything
You will regret it
Google 2016 mdx transmission problems
early 2016 models have the the old transmission the late 2016 have the new Germany transmission
How do you now the car has new Germany transmission or not? Please suggest
There is a Acura service bulletin 15-054 that lists all the infected model that require software updates. if you cannot find it send me your email and I can send you the list I from Jan 12, 2016

Spencer Wong To learn about the car lol
Still have 2016 mdx? I am planning to buy used one. Wondering if you are still satisfied with mdx
For me, I still love the look of this older MDX. The new one is great, but still, this older interior is very simple and inoffensive. People can definitely be able to use this in no time.

I have the advance package and is an amazing car, you should do one with the advance package
Does it Apple CarPlay? Really missed that option after I sale my mercedes.
I just got one love it

I'm thinking of buy the used 16' Acura MDX.
It's awesome 👌
Is there a phone dial pad In the infotainment
Do you happen to know the size capacity oh the hdd? 15gb, 20 or 30?
thanks im from egypt
They are selling a car like this with 95 something miles is that to many miles it’s a 2016 should I buy it ?
Do the side Mirrors fold automatically and do you have option to fold them manually
+Abbas Dehbozorgi Manually.
+Connor Carto My TLX side mirrors auto fold down when backing up. Otherwise it would be manually if you need some extra room. THEY DO ALSO HAVE lcd LIGHTS ON THE BACK TO INDICATE TO DRIVERS IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE which way you intend to turn.
Damian Sco Yes, they do do that.
Hows the second row seating a 6"0 ft guy
Hi sup ma guy I love the video I my self looking to buy an acura mdx I been looking around all I see is 157,423 mile range am looking between 40 to 50 thousand miles range
The MDX can compete with All the top SUV like Cadillac or Lincoln and even VW yes I just bought a 2015 MDX crazy 😹 quite and snood
The less gears it has the quicker the MDX get up to speed 🚄 like say 6speed automatic compared to 9speeds correct me if am wrong
Possibly. It depends on how quick the transmission shifts and how much torque the engine has.
More gears makes less strain on the engine and helps get better fuel economy though.
the 3 rd row acses aslo as the honda pilot
That's actually a 3.7 300 hp engine isn't it?
I'm pretty sure that in 2014, Acura switched to the 3.5L from the 3.7L. They went from the six-speed to nine-speed transmission with the third generation, too.
They're mini tanks i seen one yesterday hitting a Hyundai rear ended the car and totalled the car ..
Yeah 😂 in sports tighten up your steering wheel still I like mine in comfort 📳 mode
Don't get this car it has a transmission problem
I bought my car brand new 2016 advance $60000
After 1 month the transmission started acting weird
Took it to the dealer he said there are couple of customers complaining about the same exact thing and that Acure is working on a software update and that was 3 months ago still no update or fix
Google :2016 MDX transmission problem
Click on one of the links you will see a lot of 2016 MDX owner complaining
You will see it for your self
+AFG647 Thanks for the info!
+AFG647 Thanks on the info! Was going to buy a brand new MDX black on black too! Sales gal never mention this transmission problem in the conversation!
Mine had the that problem too. I trade it in for toyota highlander
Mine is fine nigga
+snazari1994 ok nigga
New 2016 Honda pilot with the 9 speed automatic is also no good. Almost bought one and thanks to the Piloteers forum I canceled it. Probably the same transmission in these MDX vehicles.
Yes
Yes
Im driving a 2002 MDX given to me by my father. He changed the transmission when it was his car 2 weeks after it became my car the transmission blew. If youre going to get ANY acura prepare to get a new transmission
i think the Honda pilot ex-l is better than this car and the third row seats are more roomy
