2016 Acura MDX - Redline: Review

[@AmerijamAcres]

I bought a 2002 MDX a long time ago. That was the best car I ever owned. I absolutely loved that car. I got rid of it in 2016. Time to get another one.

[@johnryan3374]

I bought my MDX because they are some of the most reliable vehicles available.

[@AndreiFantastic]

Which did you buy? I want to buy one!

[@rashad7074]

Absolutely correct 💯

[@ZachGrabill]

Love this guy's channel. No nonsense. Always informative.

[@jlsnfl81]

Zach Grabill just snooty is all lol

[@samarzia3033]

Zach Grabill eexea

[@samarzia3033]

Fbz 18 is

[@argeniargeni6699]

I became a big fan of this channel red line. I'm doing my research here before I go to the dealer. I'm not asking any negative thinking friends. Great job red line..

[@edgurrr]

Is it me or does he rarely say to subscribe to his channel? Glad he's saying it because he deserves more subs

[@LiveAKing1]

Yeah good he's saying it. It makes a BIG different with subscriber counts :)

[@alexballantine3973]

+LuBano It actually pops up on every video but.. they do deserve more subs

[@edgurrr]

Alley Oop True on both your points.

[@clearlynotalways6476]

LOVE your commentary! No fluff, and good info to help us make a decision.

[@senorbautista6143]

As a 14 model owner I am glad that it came with the 6 speed tranny. The 9 speed is slow to respond when you push the accelerator hard (I drove the V6 TLX) and switching gears from 2nd to 3rd is rough and almost neck hurting. Great review and spot on as always.

[@Mejevoli]

LOVE the new intro. So professional.

[@tuolumne9]

It's actually a return to form. His videos didn't always have the EDM intros

[@virginiaviruegas5591]

n777ua bgcgjl3^$$*: f F

[@SpaceG95]

Relatively new to Redline. But as a resident of the DC Metro area it is nice to see how vehicles behave in my back yard. Thank you Redline keep it coming.

[@giogiovanni4287]

If you notice all the other automakers that give all those extra features tend to have problems with them as a car gets older. That's why Honda / Acura are reliable used cars

[@Dwizzle2023]

Glad you are feeling better. Thank you and your team for all the videos.

[@onekinkstar]

I'm looking at a 2016 fully loaded for $20,000 right now . . . It's clean, dark gray with black interior. Any ideas out there?

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Eight years ago today! I buy a 16' Acura MDX.

[@Samsroomofrequirements]

Love my mdx, best SUV I purchased

[@revaholic]

That's a great sounding engine. I don't think this needs an upgrade engine. How fast does your 7 passenger SUV need to go? This gets to 60mph in 6 seconds, it really doesn't need to be faster.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Can't go wrong with a Honda J-series VTEC V6, I mean what more could you want? 6 seconds is plenty quick for an SUV especially with a N/A V6

[@marcluffy5161]

everyone has one of these things! Its a bit to big but its dam nice SUV. SHAWD is probably the best AWD ever made ever.

[@markusvillarreal8271]

Heck no Quattro from Audi is

[@nick2131]

Monkey D. Luffy Luffy senpai knows best

[@motorhead_jt21]

I love the SH-AWD but I agree that Audis Quattro is a better system for dry and snowy conditions. Same as Subarus however Subaru's system acts even more like a true 4x4 because the transfer case is literally in the transmission box for quicker and more responsive torquing for each wheel. Acura's would be just as good if they made their system rear wheel drive based like the Audi Q7

[@deepee1544]

Too big?

[@notorioushz3361]

I would never buy this car, but I still watch the review for some reason

[@TeamSoBrokesTCG]

Lol, same

[@marcluffy5161]

Notorious HZ because you are a dreamer of what could be!

[@fernandolapid2449]

Notorious HZ coz you dont have the money

[@notorioushz3361]

Fernando Lapid coz i dont want to buy a soccermom car :)

[@fernandolapid2449]

its not a soccermoon actually its a good car

[@azguitar]

Excellent review. This one should be the template for all your reviews...information heavy!

[@Brusier47]

I like how they displayed the MDX doing some offroading but let's face it, it's just gonna be used as mall crawler or to take the kids to soccer practice.

[@RemixerUltimate]

Some folks may use it for offroading though! It's got a pretty sick AWD system

[@onekinkstar]

There are plenty of us who are driving a grocery getter ordinarily but in the winter it is seriously needed to get out for food!

[@matthewgottung3182]

I like your style for friend, very suave. Seriously though, love your reviews, personality and educated info you bring to the game. Thank you very much!!!

[@juanzingarello4005]

Well if the incandescent brake lamps are annoying why not just get it a nice pair of red LED bulbs?

[@Peizxcv]

LOL, the MDX have as much cargo space as the Cadillac Escalade. I like the MDX. Looks good and big on the inside.

[@alexballantine3973]

That lane keep is amazing

[@smbaldwin1037]

Acura has to bring the dual exposed rear pipes back, major misstep!

[@jj5515]

Having the mdx mudding, or off roaading... was painful to watch.

[@jj5515]

***** ha, i agree

[@argeniargeni6699]

Hahahaha 😂 I agree

[@jj5515]

argeni argeni LOL

[@drumrsmith]

I know rite! that was =( to see!!!

[@Veyronp87]

i literally see this car EVERYWHERE

[@Veyronp87]

Josh Brown i live in suburbs of dallas. literally everywhere.

[@santiagorocha8134]

Yeah. I live in the suburbs of Houston and its literally impossible to not see one on the road😂.

[@NS416]

Veyronp87 I live in Toronto and I see so many.

[@MsChic-jm8wo]

California here and I see them everywhere and I happen to be an owner of one. 😂

[@mattwu2071]

In California I am stick of everybody is driving the same car as Honda Civic or the stupid Toyota Prius

[@JoshCraver9000]

I prefer a traditional gear-lever over a push-button gear selector.

[@paulc6747]

JoshCraver9000 Me too... missing the gear lever makes it looks so bare. Who want to look down every time to push the button to select Park, Reverse, Drive, and etc...

[@joedogg9836]

Paul C This button selector was designed to be easily accustomed to, as you can notice they are all different shapes so that you can tell which is which by feeling it.

[@paulc6747]

I certainly hope so but just about every time I push any button in the car, I tend to look at what I am pushing... I do like the Pilot new design.

[@crabbypadty393]

How does the auto heated seats function work. I can’t figure out how to trigger mine to turn on/off when it’s on auto.

[@bynature9873]

I Have owned a gen 2 MDX for many trouble free years @ over 240k miles now. (it’s on my you tube channel btw). Will be upgrading when the new generation arrives but will still keep my gen 2. @AutoFixEZ

[@6824096]

I've been waiting for this one out of all the reviews

[@kimbalboa7053]

Is it true that the 9 trans mdx models are having some trans problem like jerky when shifting? thanks

[@g5magic]

It s a recalled 9 speed transmission.

[@Vampire_born_in_2006]

Sad that Acura only makes kinda "budget luxury" cars, except for RLX. They could really make a more luxury MDX with a better interior design, other engine options, maybe more modern outside looks

[@parthivpatel1382]

How is this compare to the 2016 Mazda CX-9 Signature model?

[@georgemedley1310]

I have the 2018 I love it ‼️

[@qwt1852]

Are you considering a review on the updated 2016 RDX?

[@S1LLY_Y0SHI_L0V3R]

Awesome Review Of 2016 Acura MDX. 😁

[@groverleg6190]

Always good reviews!.....I was just thinking that every review should include the information about the recommended fuel octane rating. This vehicle gets pretty good gas mileage, but that is shattered by having to buy the 93 octane fuel......The cost of 93 octane fuel is much higher, especially when gasoline prices are higher! (prices are expected to increase in the near future) I guess of course, if you can afford to buy the MDX, the insurance, and pay for Acura maintenance, you can certainly afford higher priced gas!

[@motorhead_jt21]

Totally agree with you that Acura needs an upgrade engine for this model. Maybe in a couple years they can scrape something off the new NSX model's engine technology for a twin turbo V6 or super charged V8 (Most likely a twin turbo V6 though for an Acura though lol).

[@Ben-bg2eg]

Honda actually hasn't ever produced a production V8.

[@donnad3133]

Ben they should

[@KhrissyDaDon]

Can you review the Buick Enclave or Infiniti Qx60 the Mdx's real competitors.

[@AsiaDeryniowska]

Does Tech Package has that safety stay in a lane system?? and engine shot off when you press the brake hard...or its coming only with the advance pack??? Whats the difference between advance and tech???

[@watchmeconquer]

Can we get some toyota / lexus products ? ....preferably the lexus IS

[@lakshanlingam]

He already did the IS.

[@mikewangg]

I hope he does the new RX.. but NON f sport model because all of the other reviewers do that lol

[@cherylm1004]

Ah so the ticking is normal. Always wondered why I heard that noise in all their MDX's.

[@maxiefacey4988]

Love 😘 the 9speed button gears slicker over the 6speed stick slicker yes I just got the 2015 MDX tech package my TL 2012 just got totalled good 👍 reviewed

[@RyanSchmidt624]

LED headlights have tons of foreground illumination which eliminates 90% of the need for fog lights.

[@LlyleHunter]

Ryan Schmidt But fog lights just look cool!

[@RyanSchmidt624]

Haha very true

[@jlsnfl81]

And then they get condensation and look like crap

[@justtheboss26]

Can u do the infiniti g35 coupe 2003-2007

[@frankburns8871]

if they had to choose between making the brake lights or the tail lights LED, why the hell would the go with the tail lights? It would make a lot more sense to have the brake lights LED, with their instant illumination.

[@mikewangg]

I prefer having tail lights LED over LED brake lights. You're not going to be braking a whole lot so when driving at night, the tail lights look really nice lit up. It gives the vehicle a nicer appearance at night, and that's why other cars do the same

[@Shadowcu123]

Should I get this or the new Honda Pilot?

[@Vonwolfgang2011]

Thanks for this great review. By the way the tie looks great with your shirt.

[@teusports3343]

One question : in U.S.A , this is one car of those who have '' good money '' ? And what would be ? ....

[@laflamed]

Teuss Duartee old money?

[@speedisf]

if u drive away with out the fog key on u? what will happen?

[@timothyj1706]

You wouldn't be able to start the car.

[@TryingToBeKind]

The new Ford Explorer Platinum looks like it has more lux and more power for less (plus u can performance tune that twin turbo and still be at MDX price). The Acura definitely has better fuel economy and a I think a little better handling, maybe reliability, but I think I'd go for that extra power in the Ford. Can't wait to test drive and see for real this fall! Would love to see a review of the Ford here as soon as it's available!

[@jamessisoutham1466]

Are you planning to race your suv

[@dannylay7965]

If you went with the Ford your probably having to replace your water pump. 14 hour job to do so, while the Acura only takes 3 hours to do.

[@chrisak49]

Thanks for this review of the Honda Pilot.

[@joeantonio2669]

lol

[@zuhayrali4202]

Reed McMullan It is, they are the same thing essentially now with the 2016 Honda Pilot, Honda is gonna hurt Acuras sales now

[@cole426]

+DANIYAAL ALI Actually, the MDX is based off of the accord. Thanks

[@marrbaby1]

Zuhayr Ali Acura is owned by Honda so they're good

[@flashwade1]

Can you please do a review on the 2016 mazda 6. Thank you.

[@motorhead_jt21]

2nd gen gets 15/20 MPG so this new gen is still much better. I don't like the body style of the 3rd gen as much as I do the 2nd gen though. I wish I could put all that interior and safety technology in my 2nd gen MDX lol

[@samuelakinmade5977]

Scott Watkins 2nd gen is a beast and has plenty power and also has wider wheels and tires for better handling it's really a downgrade besides tech to be honest

[@daedaestayfly7065]

You should make a redline review on the 2015 cadillac escalade or 2015 chevrolet tahoe

[@Lucky8s]

DAE DAE STAYFLY Escalade video is up! :)

[@jlhyang]

3-row luxury Crossover vehicle with safety features, engine choices, and panaromaic sunroof options...I'm thinking maybe the 2016 Volvo XC90...the previews were pretty sweet on that car...also I saw a 2016 Audi Q7 up close recently...like that better also...

[@SuperAngelles]

I like the panoramic sunroof delete. Here in Southern California that item would be a daymare making the car way hotter inside while parked. I like this car as it is. I also really like the 2016 Pilot a very nice vehicle.

[@mikewangg]

there never was a panoramic sunroof option lol

[@harry5790]

Pasaron 8 años de tu vídeo tengo esa misma gugua blanca igual y deverdad la amo las personas se quedan mirando al pasar es una sensación incómoda pero me encanta párese una gugua europea

[@juanzingarello4005]

I feel the same way regarding the lack of a heated steering wheel in the TLX. EVERY car in this class offers this feature. Even cars like Kia Forte offer it. Yet this "luxury sedan" doesn't offer it even as an accessory. And now that everyone is starting to offer an around view monitor I can be sure the MDX won't see that feature for another 5-10 years.

[@derpdays7067]

The 0-60 In sport auto mode is 8.02 seconds

[@adsabine1]

You are right, the Acura could use an engine with more power, I would love to see an off road option, but on a completely different platform, an off road platform to compete with the Rubicon with race shocks and a long travel suspension, 35"x12.5"x17" tires, a skid plate running the length of the undercarriage... it will never happen

[@donnad3133]

V8 every other brand has made one

[@ifeanyikelvin5469]

Not gonna happen. Sorry

[@amg_gts1239]

I like all of his review .. Can you review more? I have watched it all xD

[@94FreakAnime]

He said 9 speed transmission right? a truck?

[@zakyum]

This and the '16 Pilot (my next car/auto) need amber/yellow rear signals to make them more Japanese

[@skirmich]

+zakyum You can change them to Yellow LEDs.. I know it because I have them on my MDX.

[@jaiizwaii89]

Why Acura chose to hide all their vehicles exhaust bothers me.

[@piccalocb]

Car and Driver tested the 0-60 at 5.9 seconds.

[@paulc6747]

Always enjoy your car review video. As for the Acura brand, they used to be a couple years more advanced in technologies but recently they are a couple years behind most competitive brands in that department. What a shame... no panoramic moon roof, no fog light, and no led brake lights on top trim? What's up Acura?

[@mapleridge8326]

Thank you, excellent information in this review. Just a few things that may help 1. please try to slow down when speaking. 2. Maybe pan out a little more with the camera. Usually you do better that maybe just in this review

[@AFG647]

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

[@AFG647]

+Fearsome Warior Of Darkness_1999 And it's $63k with taxes from A2Z Everthing included

[@Vampire_born_in_2006]

AFG647 everybody barbgains, you silly goose. You can buy something for 70$ or for 63$, can be a matter of an hour of bargaining. One can afford 70, but why pay 70 if they can be persuaded to give for 63 or 60. I am sure that without a financing buying at full price I could get it for 60 or even less. When I buy a new car, I always can bargain and get it like 5-10% below MSRP including taxes, tag transfer. All dealerships are willing to negotiate. They can make 15k for a car, or 5k for car, still profit for them.

[@BayViewz]

It would be nice if it had visible exhaust tips and a much stronger engine.

[@angelbluerider9588]

ive heard the AWD SH ones have bad/garbage transmissions.

[@madridtillidie]

2015 mazda 3. You should review that car.

[@kenku5125]

Nice review. Too bad the fuel consumption didn't improve with the 9 speed.

[@drpeppeedevourer]

what is he wearing?

[@Treycoyne12]

I love this channel

[@amgeezy_2709]

Wow. You took it off road!

[@Gladiator1972]

nobody uses the sunroof, in all our cars I've opened the sunroof maybe 5 times. The R spec package is definitely a good idea though.

[@diceflawless9115]

Its nice to have in the fall and spring. Just open the roof door and watch the nice day. It also helps to vent in the summer and keep the heat out

[@BTC909]

The 2016 Pilot makes this pointless.

[@BTC909]

***** For almost 50 large I don't want to have to go rent something when I take a road trip when 5 or more people are going. All of the 2016 Pilot trim levels and features are already released. No pricing yet.

[@MatrixDiscovery]

Ivan Vojt The Honda Odyssey makes the Pilot and MDX pointless.

[@BTC909]

***** Wow.

[@BTC909]

smasila If you want to drive a boat sure.

[@prash4u8019]

Ivan Vojt I disagree. 2016 MDX is superb sporty power SUV while pilot is like minivan powerless ram suv

[@iishyxvietxboyii1]

Looks like a large RDX.

[@Alisters_Adventures]

I can't believe the MDX does not have LED brake lights!

[@jlsnfl81]

Anon Guest mine does

[@farism5313]

So ... A 20 mints review is considered NOT in depth review ????? I still love ur reviews though

[@tyrellmurry3193]

Thanks great review you should rent different and get connections with dealers and blow your channel up

[@Yome-DungNgocHoang]

Pro: I do like the safety lane watch which is a good thing from Acura.Con: The advantage for safety lane could cause driver to focus more on texting on there phone instead of keeping an eye on the lane which could be dangerous. You will be hook!

[@therecplayer1368]

Hope you feel better. You sound awfully sick.

[@bobwilson8544]

The 9 Speed trasmission that is in this car got recalled in the Acura TLX. It is made in South Carolina by a company called ZF e.g. not Honda. The ground clearance on the MDX is a joke, and so is the AWD system. Can you activate the AWD with a button or is it all nanny controlled.? because it is cheap

[@bobwilson8544]

ya ok buddy, first off when does the SHAWD shut off what speed? answer me that it is front wheel drive bias, anyway and it has a Honda Odyssey engine in it who cares, no ground clearance either. This is for mall moms and soccer dads not for any adventure or camping or anything outdoors this is a CRV basically

[@ConnorCarto]

+Bob Wilson I took mine off road, did better than my old pilot.. Some of the best off roading I've seen.

[@bobwilson8544]

yea ok man you can't even turn on the AWD with button computer does all of that anyway man who cares 4runner is best off road suv, Honda is pillaged by American Ohio executives.

[@jitenroy9008]

its like the 2016 honda pilot

[@Relaxraa7e]

I do the the mdx but I was disappointment with it. Actually it dose not deserve the price. Its powerful but wasn't worth it based on the technology.

[@suazzz3070]

56 grand for this cmon theres better out there.my opinion

[@J-W.-]

Not necessarily its all personal preference,but you can't beat the MDX practically,performance, and all around package.

[@jesserountree7322]

Suazzz That's for the advanced package, it starts at $45k for the base. It all depends on the feature you want

[@onomatopoeia162003]

Honda Pilot looks about the same.. and CHEAPER. lol

[@Undeworld667]

They turned it into a minivan with this latest model. Lower and longer :\

[@GDBestie]

2017 accura mdx is 43k base man you speaking too fast

[@connieconroy8588]

YEAH my sister told me to buy this car once . never really liked it.

[@sowhat82]

Still, tiny sunroof : (

Shoot this a huge car - how much per miles do you get with this car? Dang this looks like a tank! I don't want this at all Jesus.

[@sharkeisha2225]

Uhm have you see other 4x4s like the Nissan Armada or Toyota Land Cruiser

[@twystedhumour]

+JesusGodHolySpirit3 It's 6 in. shorter than an Outback, so I can park this better in SF. And when driven moderately, a 300 mile round-trip from the NV/CA mountains netted me 29 mpg. Spirited driving will drive that down to 26 mpg, and that's on premium fuel WITH AWD.

[@twystedhumour]

+Drummond Fengdahl Ah crap, I thought this was the RDX review. Duh! scrap my comment. A friend has one and it's slightly longer than an Outback. She has a lead foot so she's getting 25-26 mpg.
