Kelly, As a soon to be dad I must say that you are the best auto reviewer for families. I’ve settled on the Mesa v2 and the vista stroller and you actually featured them in this video and we got to see a good representation of how it fits in the trunk. Your videos never seem to amaze my wife and I and we are very appreciative of the work you do with these helpful videos

[@TheCarMom]

thank you so much! so happy youve found my videos helpful, thats why i do it!!!

[@billwright6237]

As a car dad, I really appreciate the family/hauling kids focus of your videos. Super informative and you add a unique perspective. Well done.

[@senorgato70]

I test drove this car right after I test drove an X5 and I felt the MDX was such a better driving car. it may not have had as much power nor was the engine as silky smooth, but the handling was much more stable and the steering felt so much more secure.

[@Sayrenad]

Bet you forgot to double press the D/S gear selector. Next time try it.

[@senorgato70]

@@Sayrenad In the X5? I drove both in regular mode which I would do 95% of the time. Apples to apples driving experience. Funny enough I drive an X5 50i today so I know exactly what the Sport/Sport Plus/Sport S/Sports Plus S can do.

[@LamNguyen-sr1sy]

I've owned the last 2 generations of MDX - one of them was 2020 A-spec. The driving experience was amazing - it felt tight and responsive. The console with so many levels of controls and buttons had been a nightmare, even for myself who has driven Honda/Acura vehicles in the past 20 years. All the buttons have similar colour and size, so very difficult to figure out where things are, especially at night-time. Also, the rear air vents are on the floor and you barely get any heat/AC to the third-row - kids were either freezing or burning there. Just some feedback from my past ownership.

[@shelbylibby4578]

After watching most of your reviews and doing some research this car really spoke to me! I'm in love! I'm picking it up on Wednesday! You are awesome! You really share all of the important mom needed details! Thank you!

[@pengchen6120]

This is your best video yet! It’s very comprehensive and not rushed! I always look for your car seat fit comparison (if someone sit between two car seats) and trunk stroller fit so please always include those. No one else talks about that!

[@TheCarMom]

thanks for watching! happy you enjoyed it :)

[@kenedtsu]

You're the first person to review this car that mentions you can not only review the seat, but use it out in the world too. The thought didn't cross my mind until watching, kudos!

[@senorgato70]

LOLOL. True fact. Would make a great park/stadium type of seat!

[@paige_]

I love love love your reviews! I’m child free but have two dogs that go with me everywhere. The way you analyze space and storage is so applicable for me. No other reviewers cover what you do or how fun and entertaining you do it. Please, pahleeeeez review the new Lincoln Aviator!

[@nicolechristy2011]

This was literally the most helpful review on this car! I have a toddler who uses the same Graco car seat and am due with #2 in 2 months and we have the UPPAbaby infant seat. I was so worried about how the car seats would fit and it was my only reservation. It's the most complicated part of buying a car as a mom for sure. It's like you read my mind. Hopefully picking up this car next weekend. Thank you so much!

[@lolameg3]

I’m looking for a new mom mobile and have watched quite a few of your videos now and I need to say... you are the best car reviewer I have watched! Haha love the humor with the facts

[@nicholeencinas7572]

Thank you so much! I’ve been waiting to hear your take on this and I am sold! We picked it up today!

[@TheCarMom]

Congrats!!!

[@simplymon88]

Thank you for this! It was love at first sight with this one for me. However, I will be waiting for the Type S to drop in the summer!

[@Chiroman527]

Monica, you will be waiting much longer than this summer ... big delays due to chip shortages.

[@heather6910]

Just bought the 2022 MDX with technology package in white, and I looooove it! The infotainment system takes a little getting used to, but it’s pretty nice after a week or so of practice.

[@chty101]

Has it been reliable so far??

[@brendatoledo5749]

This is my second time watching your videos and I just want to say I’m enjoying them , you are hilarious 😂 🤣

[@Kwaminho]

Thanks for your review. I enjoyed your perspective.

[@Mercury2768]

Love the review can you do the RAV4 Hybrid or Prime?

[@ElevateTechnology]

Nice video! The shifter does look like Bop-It! Congrats on the car. I have the RDX A-Spec package. I love it!

[@xgyrrliix]

LOVE the video and sass!! Like the car, not so much the bop it shifter 🤣

[@ruqiyaa505]

I was hooked the minute I heard middle seat comes out. I have 4 children and currently drive 2016 MDX and I can’t wait to upgrade

[@bcar1ify]

The only downside no armrests when it comes out. Not the end of the world

[@bryanduncan6255]

I like the website build your car part of the video. Not seeing other reviewers doing this. It's where it all started for me as a shopper across all brands before deciding on the MDX. Honda, Acura, Toyota have great websites with detailed info. but many others not so much. Can't believe how weak some brands have really bad websites with few details, seems to me a website would be the cheapest form of advertisement they could offer.

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

nice review of this acura mdx thanks car mom.

[@lindseykenemer8419]

The bop it shifter and the versatile sun chair, so funny!

[@coreyt4006]

Great review. I love Lexus Acura and Genesis. Want to get the most bang for my buck!

[@vijaychandrashekar3345]

Thank you for a great Review can you please review a Subaru Ascent

[@krissuntrup4861]

great video! looks like a cool car

[@ellyegli9267]

I wouldn't have considered the MDX if it weren't for this video! I loooooove the removable middle seat. I would also love a Mercedes GLS review, please. :) Thanks!

[@allystanhope4431]

Just test drove a 2022 MDX A-spec and it was great. I agree that the base model is the best option. However, our Acura dealership said the likely won't make any base models in 2023 and there will be very few tech models as well. They pretty much will only be producing A-spec and higher trims which is unfortunate from an affordability perspective.

[@lizp.8783]

Awesome video. Great insight. Would love to see you take on a Subaru Ascent next.

[@TheCarMom]

Coming soon!

[@Daphnechu429]

Thank you for your review. We’re considering buying this car, but wonder if you need to sit 3 ppl in the 2nd row with two child’s car seat installed, how do you get to the 3rd row? Will the child car seats cause the second row to not be able to fold down and slide to get to the third row? Thank you!

[@timfelixchen5925]

Nice review. 3rd row Ac Oulet/Vent available?

[@AbsoluteMdot]

Love your car! I am a Acura owner I have an RL AWD Sedan and I love it

[@harjotsingh1326]

Sooo beautiful!! The car is alright as well.

[@brandi3839]

Can you do a review on the Subaru Forester? I absolutely love your videos!

[@ashleywheeler3680]

I test drove an Acura a few years ago and didn’t love it, but this is making me rethink it! I’d love to see a Volvo XC90 (I know you did one on Instagram, but I’d love to see an updated one where you build your own) and a Cadillac XT6.

[@TheCarMom]

hoping to redo the XC90 soon!

[@paige_]

Also, I’d love to see a video from you on car purchasing tips for women.

[@colear3]

Go through a concierge service; you deal with 1 person and they usually charge 1 flat fee, regardless of the price of the vehicle!

[@danagraham6711]

The exterior reminds me a lot of a Mazda CX-9. I love the idea of a removable middle seat in the second row!

[@omairsh8]

It's even more sleek. I like the subtle cuts on it. It'll age well

[@madisonrobison1629]

Hi Kelly, love the reviews! 10/10 recommend to any Mom in the market! Quick question though, do you know if older models of the MDX have the option to remove that 2nd row seat to make captains chairs? I’ve never seen that in any other vehicle and it is awesome!

[@GabbarSingh79]

No they don’t.

[@alexispiccirillo486]

Hi! I’m about to get baby #3 (7y, 1y and new born) is this a good vehicle for a family of 5 would you say? Thanks to your videos with took out of the list the highlander since we were leaning towards it 😬

[@mkabs19]

You are great! Free sun chair! You sold me

[@marcoamaro75]

The best part of this video is..."This is the car to get...it comes with a sun chair!" Indeed! At tailgates one would be the most comfortable.

[@mytee0204]

So is this feature considered the car seat friendly tilt for seats installed with lower anchors? Its not on the Car Mom list but I see that was as of 2021?

[@user-en6kb7ed1b]

Hi Kelly! I see you have the Uppa Baby Mesa behind the passenger seat. Did you have the passenger seat set for you as well for that side? I’m about your height and our current infant seat behind the passenger seat is not giving me enough leg room 😬

[@midlifemom5829]

Does removable center seat fit in trunk space with lid on top?

[@stephaniekelly4457]

This review is great, but where did you get your jumpsuit?! 😍 I need it in my closet ASAP.

[@TheCarMom]

lululemon! link in the description!!

[@CarGeek360]

We have this car but a 2023 and love it a lot! Gives you most of the practicality/reliability/value of a Pilot while providing most of the luxury/comfort/excitement of a Mercedes

[@fannysung11]

would love to see a review of the 2021 Volvo XC90 hybrid electric!

[@jissanhuq3792]

First time seeing your reviews! Really love the style and your informative personality in a quick way. Any reason it's only 720p? You definitely have the persona to get up there in popularity so hopefully you get a lapel mic to cut out background ... you don't even need higher camera quality just resolution. Best of luck! I hope Acura sells some sort of cover for that removable middle seat area so you don't have those connectors exposed at all times. Would make it safer

[@TheCarMom]

Thanks for watching! I actually filmed this on an iphone but have invested in a great camera and lapel mic! Stay tuned for next weeks tour, its a major improvement!

[@jissanhuq3792]

@@TheCarMom sorry i know it's easy for someone like me who just discovered your channel to assume things. Happy to hear it:) Like how Micha Muzio is doing it, having the real life family persona with car reviews is so much more useful and fun, so loving it. My wife and i need a new car soon, we have 3 dogs, 1 a great Dane, and trying to start a family but only need 1 car- i stumbled on your reviews researching the new MDX and loved your sharp natural wit and you being a mom makes it hit home even more! Looking forward to more reviews as i know there a lot of great family cars in the horizon. One question is if you did find that area where the seat is removed to be potentially dangerous or unsightly?

[@yessumify]

Loving your jumpsuit!

[@aldal490]

Is there any suv that allows you to have to car seats in the middle and you can easily get in the back without taking car seat out ?

[@Chiroman527]

Hey Car Mom, I have usually shied away from Ebony - Black interiors. Did you find it ... too hot? I did see a Fathom Blue Pearl / Graystone Interior Which is very sharp in person. The Graystone IMO is the Best Anti- Black bc the parchment and Espresso (I have that now in my 2019 MFDX Advance , but works well with the Canyon Bronze exterior), works with too many colors : Parchment seats , black / gray accents, and a different headliner. The Espresso is worse than the parchment IMO especially with the Liquid Carbon exterior , Too bad Acura elected to Exclude a Graystone with the Carbin combo - that would do it for Me !!

[@sarahhitchcock2026]

This might be my new favorite mid size SUV!

[@godsgirlkay2237]

How would you compare this suv to the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport?

[@vrod1a]

It would be nice if you told us what is the name of that colour and trim in the beginning, Thanks.

[@caitlincunningham4035]

Where can I find your tour of the 2018 Acura? I didn't see it on your page

Did you have a chance to test the child seat in the third row?

[@eddy29103]

Your review is pretty insane- beyond in-depth. My buddy’s wife will love this! I have a 2016 and it’s fantastic, My only tip is slow down your delivery and I bet your channel will take off!!

[@jerushafoshee4000]

Love the middle seat removal.

[@Av3ntur0zky]

Smart buyes will definitely buy the new MDX !

[@persaud101]

vs? Infotainment system was 10 year dated in prior versions. Now its only 3-4 years back from it competitors... Back up camera is not that great and overall features and tiny compared to my 2013 car...

[@BrettWyrick]

Currently shopping for SUV's. Wife won't get a minivan. We've got infant twins and a 2-year-old. Is this MDX (the 2022) the ONLY one that removes the middle seat?! Even in luxury cars? I can't believe that if it's the case. Totally agreed that all SUV's should have this!

It’s so disappointing to me to see a brand new 2022 car with no ceiling ac vents us Phoenix moms would appreciate it

[@dra9onl3oy]

Yes, where I'm from we get above 110 degrees easy. With the entire 2nd and 3rd row sharing AC vents from the little center console this is a deal breaker. Bummer.
