I have a 2011 base Mdx with SH- AWD, for the price my car was bought new, i now have 110k miles. Basic maintenance, tires, breaks, 100k mile tune up, water pump and radiator flush. The only items that no longer broke are radio and CD and bluetooth for phone. Everything else works. Seaths in front are very comfortable, and so are the back seats. Good power and great torque vectoring from the AWD system

I hope it was a deliberate joke about seats being uncomfortable in a long trip? Seats on this model are one of the most comfortable seats among rivals. As far as lumbar support, may be you didn't know, but you can adjust it.

Хорошая Машина I own this same mdx. the seats are TERRIBLE. I'm 27 with no back problems, my girlfriend is 26 also with no orthopedic issues, and it KILLS both of our backs in 30mins no matter how you adjust it. the last long (3000mile) roadtrip I had one of the reasons I avoided my mdx and actually took my sports car with recaro sport seats and coilover suspension is because it had way more comfortable seats. seats and mpg are the only drawbacks of the car.
@ХорошаяМашина9 жыл бұрын
Well, that's too bad, I'm sorry for you and your girlfriend. The longest trip I had was around 500 miles non stop and no one complained. Also, I've had this vehicle for almost 4 years now and I had no problems with the seats whatsoever. And I had zero passengers complain whether it's a long or a short trip. I'm participating in Acura clubs all over the world and heard zero complaints about the seats from hundreds of club members. If you are having so horrible problems with the seats, you shouldn't be driving it. Just get something else instead.

How long did you keep the 11 MDX after making the video? What vehicle did y'all upgrade into? I purchased my 11 MDX Adv+Ent back in 2014 with 30,000 miles. It is still going strong today with +150,000 miles. Very comfy hwy cruiser and I found all four seats to be equally comfortable (big guy at 6'3" 300lbs). The city mpgs of 15-17, magnetic shock/struts failures (all replaced under warranty), and oil consumption of 1.5qts per 9000 mile oil change intervals are the biggest issues I've have with my 11 MDX Adv.
@royfinnel2 жыл бұрын
Congrats on your MDX lasting so long... Question?? Do you think it is normal for the oil consumption have you brought this up to your service department? I have a 2010 with 125,000 miles and burn around the same amount of oil. How often do you add oil?
@mrgold35912 жыл бұрын
@@royfinnel I only add oil around the 50% oil life mark (under a quart). I'm a little low around a 1/2 to 2/3 of a quart; but, still on the hash marks when my oil change is due at the 15% oil life. I don't add any more and just do the oil change at the dealership instead. My MDX wouldn't qualify for the engine rebuild. The oil consumption needed to be around 1 quart per 1000 miles compared to 1 quart per 5000-6000 mile like in my 11 MDX. I did switch to 100% syn Mobil 1 oil at my first oil change when I purchased used back in 2014 with 30,000 miles. My oil consumption hasn't changed with Mobil 1 oil.

Reliability is excellent, though there are some cosmetic quibbles. Comparably equipped, the JX is about the same as the MDX, but, yes, offers a lot less power and sport.

I'd trade a soft touch dash for comfortable seats.this is a really really good car, but there is some room for improvement. There isn't really a perfect car in this class at this price.

But for those who do want that extra touch of fun, the MDX obviously is a better choice.
