Merry Christmas from Japan! You are right to say Japanese peeps wouldn’t buy this in one way. There is no Acura brand in Japan! Only Honda. And also, we don’t have Infinity. Wow! There have been a few “Acura” models available as a Honda in the past, but nowadays we don’t get any of the Acura models. On the other hand, I do see a lot of people driving SUVs, but a RAV4 does look pretty big here in Japan. Anyways, love you guys and looking forward to more in 2023!

I bought a Tiger Eye Pearl Type S Advance in June for my new daily. Previous daily is a Tuned 2019 Mustang GT 10R80 (which is now the weekend ride) so this being fast wasn’t all that important to me. Just wanted a little bit more shove in the daily. Primary desire was a quiet, comfortable, 3 Row SUV with some luxury features that I wouldn’t be absolutely terrified of after the warranty (looking at you Germany) since I was buying and not leasing. And the blue interior on mine is absolutely killer! Stereo is awesome too.

[@xxthehuskycaboosexx]

This looks fantastic on the road. Probably the best looking 7 seater you can currently buy

[@DeeJayAdverb]

I love how it was lowering while you guys were revving it. Merry Christmas boys. ❄️

[@f1racer248]

I have mine since March 2022 and loving it. I have the Ultra edition and upgraded the badges to the black chrome on the red paint job. I bought it because I find the maintenance cost lower then the German brands and I got the 7 year warranty for the air suspension if that should go. I just recently dove it to New York City and back to Toronto and it was great. Had my wife and cousin who is tall in second row and she said had no issues for comfort for 8 hours. I don't plan to sell it so resale is not important but being an Acura, i think it would hold better then a Genesis model. Being a old school Acura guy (two GS-R, a 2004 TSX) happy to be back to the brand and looking forward to many years with it. Added options i got was also a set of 20" winter rims/tires, factory roof rack, lighted kick plates, Type S winter mats, and PPF the front end for rock chips.

[@stanleynyale695]

Acura has been killing it lately.🔥🔥

[@jax1079]

I think I was a bit cranky when I had this, but I just didn’t feel as though the Type S justified its $72k (US) cost. It’s so good in many ways, but there’s a lot of competition at that price. You guys were very fair (and clearly less cranky). Maybe I’m just old now 😂

[@timmcdonald9674]

I saw your review and to be fair if you really look at the details this car provides the price in the US is not unwarranted. Comparing this with all the Germans and the Volvo XC90 for the same options you’re easily talking up $20K plus price difference. That’s giving Acura credit for double wishbone suspension, four corner air ride, 25 speaker audio, which would cost $3-5K easily in other brands as an upgrade. Audi removed the double wishbone suspension at the mid model change on the Q7 and none of the Germans offer their most upgraded audio system unless you opt for the V8, which automatically put you in the six figure range. I drove an $83K GLE350 with a turbo 4 cylinder prior to the MDX purchase. One also has to consider how long they want to own and the resale values. The vast majority of reviews for this car were positive and didn’t complain about price. If this received a lot of criticism it would have more more fair to call out the shortcoming in the other cars that are extremely overpriced as well. I think savage geese is by far the most detailed reviewer and both mark and jack praised this and even praised some of the driving smoothness over the X5 and Q7. He also praised the quality of the air suspension, audio and massage function that he said was better than his X7. If this car had a different badge with everything and cost even more then one would say anything. I’m sure of it.

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

Lol, if you compare it to Hyundai palisade or Kia telluride, sure, this car is much more expensive, but you obviously get a lot more luxury and features, if you compare it to Germans, obviously, this car is less expensive by 10k easily.

[@JV-py3lg]

But we’re talking about a $72k Honda?

[@drivescene6747]

Eagerly waiting on you to list any competitor in this price range that offers everything or more than the MDX Type S offers

[@jax1079]

@@timmcdonald9674 No one can touch savagegeese in terms of attention to detail; that’s for sure. I think my main point was that elevating to the $70k+ price range brings it into competition with a lot of indirect competitors. You’ve got full-sized trucks and SUVs, more traditional luxury SUVs (as you mention), and other niche vehicles, such as the Land Rover Defender. Since the MDX isn’t particularly roomy or carries a lot of cargo (about the same size as a Mazda CX-9), it shrinks the target market to a pretty narrow focus. I totally get what you’re saying (and by extension Mark and Jack as well), but my perspective is that I’d probably sacrifice some of the vivacity for more space, or accept less space and near equal performance (like a Genesis GV60). I suppose over $60k-ish we’re spoiled for choice as consumers, and maybe there IS a considerable untapped market the MDX Type S will hit, but I’m not convinced there is. It’s objectively got a lot going for it, but maybe I’d be sweeter if it was $69,999. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@gs98999]

Close to $100k Canadian after fees and taxes. Imagine telling someone 10 years ago an MDX is going to cost that much, they would call you insane. Yet here we are. Everything is fine.

[@jpjipperwong]

So I will agree that the population who would utilize this to it's full potential is small however. I'd also say that as personally a Honda and Acura enthusiast this is right up my alley. For reliability and the "degree" of luxury you get it's just utilitarian enough and not terribly lavish for kids to get spoiled 😂

[@myabiaah]

Savagegees said it best. they’ve cherry picked the luxury you’ll actually use and need

[@MLHunt]

I agree with Jakub about 2 12V outlets in the front. 12V outlets supply a good deal more power than USBs, at least the USBs auto OEMs supply, so by having a 12V and using a 2-3-4 outlet adapter you can charge not only more devices than you can with just the (usually) 2 USB outlets they equip, but also charge things faster.

Got mine 2 months ago. Tiger Eye Pearl on Orchid Advance. Really enjoy driving this SUV. I'm only getting 13mpg around town and less than 17 on the highway. Still, the smooth driving experience as well as the extra luxury and performance, makes this a great all around family hauler. Love the air suspension, massaging seats and 25 speaker stereo. My advice is skip the base Type-S. For only 5 grand more in the states you get 15 extra features in the Advance trim.

Great review, I think this car ticks a lot of boxes for most people...1st it is a 3 row SUV... It has massaging seats, great audio system, decent power, heated and cooled seats , panoramic roof, decent space behind 3rd row, charging ports for devices and equipment in all 3 rows, comfortable ride for highway cruising, height adjustable suspension, quiet, safe and reliable. This is a definitely a family vehicle 1st with a small touch enthusiast flavor.... But it's nothing crazy. In this class I would like more power but I think 350 is sufficient for a family cruiser. In a few years used I wouldn't be surprised if someone put some off-road tires on this and tries to go off-roading lol 😂 due to height adjustable suspension. One comment about 3rd row... I think it's for ages 2+ and anyone 5'7" and under. Forward facing seats only because obviously rear facing doesnt work.

And piano black shiny plastic is the worst, showing fingerprints and (the soon to appear unavoidable) scratches. Use the wood trim instead please!

[@ColorMixingMunsellStyle]

I always wanted to purchase an Acura MDX. Finally, in September 2022, I purchased a 2023 brand new Acura MDX. Sadly within 3 months, the color on the passenger door started bubbling up. So took the car in and Acura repainted it. Then after 7 months of purchase, the backseat leather seat started peeling off. I do not even have passengers in the backseat that often - maybe 4 times since I bought it. So I took it back and am scheduled to replace the seat. My question is what happened to quality of these cars? I called Acura and Honda and asked for extension on my warranty because I plan to keep this car for a long time and that was denied. Acura offered me a $300 gift card!!!!!! The car was over $64,000 and all they offered is $300!! Basically, Acura does not stand behind their product. I asked to return the car but that period has passed. I consider this a joke and needles to say I do not recommend Honda or Acura at this point based on the response I am getting from them.

Merry Christmas guys!!! Hopefully y'all got that snow! Cause right now, in the U.S. in a lot of areas, we're getting it!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year of 2023!

As bad as I wanted this I couldn't justify the 77k (usd) price tag for the advance version but I had a '11mdx and I loved it and now u have a '16 pilot which has the same awd with different tuning and yet I still want the type s... I'll wait awhile for the prices to drop then get one

[@nickns23659]

I have a 22 Type-S Ultra and I love it. Great value or dollar, a similar spec'd X5 is going to cost you over $100K vs. this at about $85K. My biggest complaint about it is that it should be 400HP, it's much better than the standard MDX but needs a bit more power.

[@LuvHurtsEitherWay69]

Idk why they didn't make it twin turbo.

[@zoomzoom3839]

You can get a BMW X5 with a 520hp V8 for only 10k more than this. That’s 170 more HP for only 10k more, I don’t think the MDX type S is a actual performance SUV, 355hp would make something like that quick, but it’s not going to be fast. The X5 m50i is a performance SUV, it absolutely rips, it’s worth 80k, this MDX is not worth 75k.

[@MikeForsythe]

@@zoomzoom3839verything is faster and has more power. acura knows it can give its vehicles giant exhaust tips, advertising drifting crossovers and their fans will go crazy. meanwhile it’s mid. Like it’s a solid vehicle but not some amazing performance crossover they make it seem. Acura is the king of faking.

[@bigjohnwong]

How's your avg mileage on the TypeS, thanks

[@nickns23659]

@@bigjohnwong terrible, 😂 Like 16/17L per 100km. I pretty much only drive it in Sport which doesn’t help.

[@brianiswrong]

Usb for every seat, cigar socket in the boot and up front.

Aw thanks. Jakub got it for my for Xmas

Merry Christmas guys! Blessings from Port Angeles Washington...

12:45 I disagree, If you consider a long road trip with all 7 passengers that's enough outlets to keep phones, tablets, laptops charged all the way around, A SUV without that many means the inconvenience of sharing plugs or using splitters that share the power and top out the fuse, This was a smart move.

[@cbotten106]

Those circle 12V are high amperage though. You can pull surprising amount of juice through them. The more power outlets the better, imo. Hell, give me a 220v dryer plug in the boot!

[@kkflkkfl]

For me, the question is this MDX Type-S or the top trim GV80. Not exactly comparable (sport bias vs luxury bias) but they are both top value-for-money offerings in this category.

[@glenelliott2620]

GV80 by a landslide.

[@ddollarz567]

The point is gv80 it’s not as reliable as the Acura trust me you gotta look at the long run my cousin didn’t and pay the price my car Honda Accord 2013 outlast his brand new Santa Fe 2016 by 115k the transmission was gone my accord 190k still running like nothing

[@AcuraChannel]

Auto upshifts will make your transmission last a lot longer, so you won't redline on accident for a long time, but it still sucks. I can redline in my 2011 Acura TL if I'm in Sport Mode , and use paddle shifters..which I luv!

[@IMRgarage]

I love when I control the trans not the ecu ! My ISF I can bang off the rev limiter for days LOL. I need to try my 2012 MDX .

[@MrTredd222]

I'm sure techs who've had years of tuning experience can fix that easily with a good software/ecu/transmission tune
