Acura MDX vs. Honda Pilot --- Which should you buy??

[@chrisa.8175]

Outrageous both prices...

[@gidget1003]

Maybe a point s/b given to the Pilot for regular gas vs. premium gas for the MDX...

[@johnblattner8683]

I haven't seen too many Pilots on the road. I see A LOT of MDX's. It's been on sale for a few extra years, compared to the Pilot, but it seems like So. Cal agrees with you. No arguments from me.

Mdx is bang for your buck and road noise isolation and seats , the ride qulaity and suspension in mdx as has double wishbone ..pilots just mcpeherson struts AND Cheap .. engine choice for mdx i prefer the type S ..

Great review! From the outside, the acura looks nicer than the pilot. The extra room in the 3rd row seat is a deal breaker and i'd choose the pilot. If the acura had the same room as the pilot in 3rd row and if there was a non-turbo in both of them, they'd be the perfect cars. Maybe one day. The turbos dont last as long as the naturally aspirated engines-and that's been confirmed by mechanics with lots of yrs. Of experience. 😀

On SUVs of this size the V6 is an advantage for both of these cars over competitors’ turbo 4 cylinder engines

[@vkchaitanya2003]

As some who reviewed both the cars recently Acura stands out in its drive quality with out a doubt. You will feel the premium interior in Acura

[@mrgold3591]

Acura MDX if you lean towards "Sport" in SUV. Honda if you lean towards "Utility" in SUV. The Acura MDX suspension, steering, and sh-awd tuning is more sporty. You might be disappointed it you purchase a MDX and your driving is on the Pilot or Odyssey mini van level.

Mdx is a fantastic car, most pilots are buried

[@PWCDN]

Pilots are expensive, might as well spend the extra 10-15k for the MDX.

None due to VCM

Honda has had VCM for years. It’s seamless and there are no issues.
