we literally just got a 2023 MDX a-spec for about 2500 under sticker.. its basically the best SUV in the world right now.. a little over our 50k budget but its sure to pay off in the long run
Thank you. It was something I’ve been wanting to do for a while but I’ve been holding back because I didn’t have as much confidence. I’m glad I made the leap
This looks and feels like a toy cart compared to bmw suvs. I would rather buy a 3 yr old cpo bmw than spend this much money on this. Acura is way over their head
Great presentation. I have one got it April 23, 2022. Your forgot to show how there is a slit to slide the trunk removable panel into. Also know that not all phones have the Qi built in to charge in the wireless charger, but a wireless receiver can be purchased from Amazon for $14.00. It's thin and plugs into the phones charging port and placed on the backnof the phone. Put both on the wireless charger phone faced up and the amber light comes . I just got one and it works perfectly. Once again great presentation thank you
DJ -C , I just mine in the Fathom Blue Pearl / Graystone interior Advance. I hate to use the term LOVE for a car, but I really LIKE this new car. I will admit though, seeing this car in Liquid Carbon on the Dealer's floor when I went to sign up my Lease, I did inquire about switching my deal to the LCP / Black interior (although I am not a fan of Black interiors since they get very hot). Dealer said that would cost me another $1K down and increase my lease payment another $30 dollars - I turned that down and went with the FBP . Interesting color in that it looks more Blue up close, but a little more Black / Blue from a distance.Good Luck with your new Acura. PS: I traded UP to this forma 2019 MDX Advance leased to JUne 2022.
Great review Jeff and love your personality!😂 You had me cracking up! Thinking of trading in our Volvo 2016 XC90! Love it but has a lot of issues! So thinking of Acura or back to Lexus . I am curious about the Audi A8? Have you done a review on that? Thanks again for the detailed review!
Jeff is a fun guy. Hey, I'm wondering when you first start up the MDX does it start in the most recent drive mode? For example, if I like driving in Individual mode most of the time do I have to select it every time I get in the vehicle? If not, then having Individual mode where auto stop/start is disabled would be a way to pseudo permanently turn that feature off without having to press the A button every time you drive.
Not a fan of Highlander, but this MDX is gorgeous looking, both inside and out, I personally would spend extra to get MDX Advance just to get all the features like 360 camera and walk away auto closing tailgate.
Would you choose the new Highlander over this? That’s my dilemma now the Highlander get better mpg than the Acura but to me the Acura looks a lot better especially with all the tech inside
How is it that there is an option for ride control? a-spec has regular shock, i can understand throttle control because that involves a computer control. I dont care for adjustment of the steering, much prefer the sport mode handling-numb steering is notmmy thing.
I own a MdX 2011 and that is a work horse. Imagine, i have the 2011 base model, at the time tech pckage was a better stereo and speakers with a built in GPS. I couldn’t get myself to justify the extra expense for the Tech package, so base model it was. 110k miles later and my car is still with a lot life left in it. Very comfortable car for road trips and great pick up of my 3.7v6 300HP engine. Gas guzzler for sure but that is the price you pay for comfortably. I am in the market for a 2023 A-spec, as i cannot justify paying more for the advance- as the only feature i liked was remote starter and heated rear seats.
That acid trip on start up is fun. With the red interior and shiny bits I could see a high end stripper owning this. Not a midwest back fourty type with razor burn, I'm talkin high end Vegas pedigree.
I wish there was less of that gloss black on interior.. looks kinda tacky. And I don't like the coca-cola red.. That said.. I still want one! I may wait for the 2023 to see if they change the gloss black. :) thanks for the review! I didn't know you did brands other than Toyota!
Got my 2023 MDX in October 2022. Good driving car, very comfortable. Drove it from the East Coast to L.A. and back. 6 days of 14 hour drive give me a good sense of how the car operates. Driving Instruments and electronics not so good. Brand new SUV delivered with a 3 year old navigation. Ended up using Google maps as Android Car not very friendly to use and outdated. One finger navigation for screen use is most ridicules "invention". Good luck navigating the screen when in motion. Wireless voice commands totally unfriendly, You need to learn a new language to navigate . If you drive in a snow and ice, you will need to stop and clean hood logo (Radar) if you want to continue . Other than this there are several other issues. It would take to long to continue. No it is not in a class of BMW or Audi. Had previously BMW ,Audi and 2017 MDX. O yes, If you need parts get in line for a long run. I'm still awaiting for " Rear lid molding" replacement ( almost 6 month) Honda / Acura thumbs down !
Hi, not crazy about red and gloss black plastic. A spec should have other color options at this price point. Gloss comes from German competition and makes no sense. Reflects light which is not good while driving and you see dust and fingerprints.
i wish the performance Acura talks about, was reality. The performance they showed and not even at the fullest, in only available on the Type S. But the MDX is not a NSX, so the word performance doe snot belong here at all. The A-spec does have a good looking body, aggressive looks but that is all. I still dont get the Dynamic mode, i think that is a placebo effect button if you ask me. I am looking into a 2023 MDX now, oddly Canada MDX come equipped with different features that the advance model has over the other models. The type S, maybe a short term throw from being taken to the back of the barn and well, it will be gone. not many people are buying it and the performance it offers is basic when you compare it to the rivals like the BMW X5.
for one thing, Acura engineers felt that it was necessary to pump the sound into the cabin. That makes ZERO sense. Performance should come from the engine as is without any other factors enhancing it, unless of course there is a turbo envolved. As for luxury, Acura missed a few things that should be standard in a $60K SUV that are only availble in the Advance package, If anything the A-spec should have the option of tuning the engine and transmission adequately to show actual engine performance. Acura marketing team lost out on that opportunity. Nex tgeneration MDX will most likely be electric and 6 Cylinder engines are being phased out across all manufacturers. That is why even lexus has 4 cylinder bangers with a turbo.
I looked at one a few days ago. The startup process with the silly 5 second movie playing is ridiculous. I might still buy but I have no idea why manufacturers do silly gimmicks like this. Also the stock tires are garbage. Put some good rubber on the car day one and sell the stock tires
Red colored interior is hideous. Cognac not available on certain trims which is dumb. I hate when car companies do this and give you a terrible option like red.
Jeff... I see you have some nice bamboo legs and chicken arms.🤦 Lift some weight 💪 my friend, hit the gym or buy yourself some dumbbells. Halloo... 🏋️🧨

GG Acura
One of the best reviews out there. Not rushed and get to see everything as if a friend was showing you. 👏🏼
Just bought a used 22 with 12k miles for 38k. I think about the car when I’m not driving it. It’s that good!!
Wow that’s a killer price, what trim u got?
@@pabloaguilar6342 base w/ shawd. It had all of the features I needed and low miles was a priority.
Seriously what trim! Cause I spent 47k for 23k miles a spec

Thanks for the in-depth review.
Great Review Jeff. I am glad to see you branch out to “non Toyota reviews.”
Thank you. It was something I’ve been wanting to do for a while but I’ve been holding back because I didn’t have as much confidence. I’m glad I made the leap
I always love and enjoy your review Jeff. Great one, please reserve one for me. I'll come pick it up some time next year. Thanks
My key number 2 has walk away lock with sound. Key 1 doesn't have the beep????? How do I fix? GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!
Excellent review lots of information
This was really helpful.
I’ve had my advanced pkg since May and I love it!! Left BMW for this and I’m so glad I did❤️. Great review you always make me laugh 😂
Your Acura should last way longer
This looks and feels like a toy cart compared to bmw suvs. I would rather buy a 3 yr old cpo bmw than spend this much money on this. Acura is way over their head
This makes no sense ! At 60k for an ASpec this suv is a great deal
I left BMW and Audi as we drive a lot of miles, and both cars were unreliable
Great presentation. I have one got it April 23, 2022. Your forgot to show how there is a slit to slide the trunk removable panel into.

I'm loving mine, same color combination
That’s awesome!

Thank you Jeff for the great review. How about a 2022 MDX advanced review to compare to the A-spec and other trims. Thank you!!!
I’ll see if I could find one somewhere :)
Great review!
Can you please compare the MDX to the Infiniti QX60.
Great review Jeff and love your personality!😂 You had me cracking up! Thinking of trading in our Volvo 2016 XC90! Love it but has a lot of issues! So thinking of Acura or back to Lexus . I am curious about the Audi A8? Have you done a review on that? Thanks again for the detailed review!

This kills the Highlander in every way and has a useable 3rd row.
I should compare them sometime together
Yeh but don't forget maintenance expenses
Except the price…
@@blackwhirlwind1245 highlander is marked up everywhere 5-10k
When test driving both, i found Highlander's 3rd row to be higher up from the floor ans much more useable than MDXs.
Is it worth to invest a few extra $ to buy this MDX instead of the Highlander platinum?
I really love the Highlander reliability. MDX drove fantastic plus I loved the features. I'd sit in and drive both to see for sure
Not a fan of Highlander, but this MDX is gorgeous looking, both inside and out, I personally would spend extra to get MDX Advance just to get all the features like 360 camera and walk away auto closing tailgate.
Lovelove the review. Thanks
Hello, Hopefully, the rear wiper is tucked up under the rear windshield on the redesign out of sight.
Would you choose the new Highlander over this? That’s my dilemma now the Highlander get better mpg than the Acura but to me the Acura looks a lot better especially with all the tech inside

Great review as great suv as well!.
Thanks I appreciate it :)
Pano roof opening that much is impressive.
What gas need to used jeff??
Lol this guy is funny! Awesome review!
Hahhaaa thanks :) I’d love if you stick around my channel. It’s just starting. Will be doing reviews of all brands with my own weird sense of humor :/
Could you review the Toyota Crown?
Sure no problem!!

Great looking vehicle
It’s pretty darn sharp
There's the color I referred to as liquid metal I'd like to see on the new 22 Tundra with black trim, black wheels, dark tint glass.
That would be sweet!!
That acid trip on start up is fun. With the red interior and shiny bits I could see a high end stripper owning this. Not a midwest back fourty type with razor burn, I'm talkin high end Vegas pedigree.
That’s a hilarious observation!

I love lexus , but this one kills rx350
I didn’t know I would like this one as much as I did over one week
Funny guy
How it going dre??? Glad you’re here!!
You, seriously, didn't drive this a single mile? really...
POV: You misclicked
Red colored interior is hideous. Cognac not available on certain trims which is dumb. I hate when car companies do this and give you a terrible option like red.
It’s a nice vehicle very nice for the money,but it’s aerodynamic like a brick 🧱
This is not funxtional but help aero dynamic and airflow Tf is that😂
Ohh noo promoting competition... Your boss at Toyota will be mad 😡😡 Hose him down
Lol Ike you’re on a roll
Jeff... I see you have some nice bamboo legs and chicken arms.🤦 Lift some weight 💪 my friend, hit the gym or buy yourself some dumbbells. Halloo... 🏋️🧨
Lol you crazy!
Yes I’ve always been smaller build. My legs won’t ever get bigger haha
290hp that's all.
IS THIS AN UNBIASED REVIEW OR A SALES PITCH, SURE SEEMS LIKE THE LATTER.
I have absolutely no ties to the Acura brand so I’d say unbiased review. I really enjoyed this for the week I had it to evaluate. Thanks for watching!
