I always don’t like Acura design but I love that their car will last forever.

Time for the MDX to get the RDX treatment this needs to happen next year no more delays

I have the 2019 Acura RDX Aspec. Simply the best vehicle ive ever owned.

Love the ASpec, I have one, but mine is blue, drives great, very responsive

Brand new car and the rim already has curb thrash 1:42... what a shame!

Spot on review Nathan

Miss you so much Nathen

Being a Costco member, I got this car OTD for roughly $52k ( for a lease deal), and $51k for purchase option. - Prices included Taxes and any dealer fees already. Gotta love Costco for this. The price they quoted me before taxes and everything was about $46k for this A-spec trim level. Besides the SH-AWD, I'm not crazily amazed at the car to be honest. The third seats are pretty much useless since there is not much leg room at all. Those seats are probably for kids to seat comfortably. But I think I can bare with it if I have to. I wish the A-spec came with all the side cameras with a 360 view.

Hi nice car my dad still Own the first generation it's 2003 with 400k the original engine and transmission but the problem is the mdx stop in Australia from 2007 and it was the last generation of mdx

"Big American ass in the back" I'm don't know why the was so funny but I was in tears at that part

TURN OFF THAT MUSIC !!!

The fact you got into the 3rd row highlights it is just fine for smaller folks and kids. I’m glad you showed the entry process. IMO, it’s emergency seating anyway. 99% of the time the 3rd row will be folded down.

I had an 2006 TSX Aspec (for the 04-08 1st Gen Model years). It was front/side/rear body styling, rear wing, aspec rims, aspec lowered & stiffer suspension, new exhaust pipe ends, ASpec badges. The 04-08 RL and 04-08 TL had the same. That was the last time ASpec included a suspension upgrade.

Just bought a 2020 lunar silver aspec for my wife. First Acura I've owned and it is nice. Been a Mercedes owner for some time but for the money and quality, can't beat it. Too much tech for me but she is cool with it. Great review. To the point and until now, I didn't know what the hell aspec really meant. Thank

Nope. I live my 2009 gen. 137k miles and still drives like a dream!

Nathan great review. You are #1

That’s why I choose the base model instead of their top of the line, because they have all the same horsepower 😀

+TFLnow Great review. was wonder if ere were any recommendations for Lyft XL and or Lux 8 seater suv crossover, this one but the Hybrid version, the Subaru Ascent with larger 3rd row seat I believe, or anything else with as good mpg as the highlander hybrid or better? Can anyone design an suv crossover hybrid with a big enough third row with three seats that are large enough?

Thank you for being so candid.

Very good review. Thanks.

Dont get me wrong I'm a big dodge fan but the wife bought a 2004 mdx she got it with 140,000 miles now has 195,000 and still running minor issues but other then that a great car

Hey Nathan, would you have any doubts purchasing a 2020 Acura MDX Technology/A-Spec with 95,000kms. Very high kms for a 2020. Just want to get your recommendation or any others reading the comments. Never owned an Acura before.

I got 1st gen when had 161 on the dash and it wont stop wish it had sh-awd though

Did you not have room in the back 2nd seat when you slid the seat backs?

I'm just glad Acura brought back tailpipes

I like it but they should’ve changed the lower front end.. 🙄

I have a question for the owners and those who currently leased this vehicle: i kept reading in the reviews in kbb and edmunds that this car lurches and jerks when it it either shifting gears by skipping gears or as it transfers power from fwd to awd then left to right. I hated that in other cars because it made the front transfer case or the transmission fail in less than 60k miles. Can you folks share your experiences?

One of the better looking Acura’s that’s for sure. Good job Nathan! The car is waaay to small for a third row.

MDX is so strong :p in Boston me and my friend got in a car crash then it wasn’t dented

Damn the MDX Aspec in black looks murdered out!! All it need is the RLX's 3.5 liter v6 with 310hp and 10 speed!! Sure the RDX's 2.0t could go in there but the MDX is a big boi the 2.0t might be a bit lethargic imho

MDX over the Dodge Durango R/T? Also I would like to see Mazda do something "A-spec" like with the CX-9.

I like this car!

Yes sweet id get the base thou..

Please take the mdx or pilot towing vs toyota highlander

Can the a-spec come with chrome trim pieces?

Definitely worth it!

So basically one of the designers was jealous of his buddy’s Ram Rebel?

Bring the type-s back!

Thank you

Why do you sound different Nathan?

Exaust sounds the same as my 16 mdx body the same as well except front end seats ans exaust. I love the push button. Why be like others. Keep whats good rid of whats same others are doing. Damn the hybrid more horse not good but thanks for honesty

This would great with a S Type V6T!

Can y'all take the time to describe video in description please want to know what you're talking about but can't always watch at the moment thanks

Why buy this when the all new MDX comes next year? I’d wait for the panoramic roof.

A-ppearance Spec-ifications..... so no it wouldnt effect handling or performance, that would be an R or S Spec....

At 1:43 theres some serious curb rash on them rims

Best look suv in its class in looks and sound besides the 2014 Lexus RX f-sport

Who's car is that it look ruff around the edges give it to me I will take of it

But wait, what’s the Doug Score ?

If you guys want this car for cheaper get the Honda Pilot, they are the same car but rebranded.

Definitely wouldn’t spend extra for a-spec..Also, RDX just got a redesign, isn’t a redesign scheduled in 2020 for the MDX??

I have an 06 pilot with 240k miles

The MDX is a bargain... the Aspec package is not worth it even though it looks better. Only Aspec package that could be worth it is on the TLX which gets slight improvement on suspension components..They did do an good job on making all the A specs look better.. Just wish they would have added just a little bit of performance to all models

Uhh back then is was the Type S and Type R

Am i the only one cringing at how badly that paint looks already! the swirls and scratches in it

Appearance Package. The answer to his first question... instead of waiting.

56k USD and it don't even have a 360 camera

I'll pass on this one. No value here with this MDX. Acura dealers and Corporate isn't what it once was. Service sucks and the dealers have really become 3rd rate in most cases. I have owned five Acura's no more for me.

The interior of this car is what the TLX should look like

A for Appearance!

Hey i got about 280xxx on my 2002 mdx

I still like my Q7

Nathan we miss you you are the star of this channel less of Tommy and more of Nathan

I was interested... UNTIL Acura decided NOT to upgrade the Power and Suspension over the base MDX. #shame

My 14 civic is at 220,000 miles

U couldn’t clean the car before during a review? Smh

It makes it look. I’ve butnjust appearance that’s it

For a truly transparent, easy, and fun car buying experience, see DWAYNE at Acura Columbus! www.dealerrater.com/sales/Dwayne-Turner-review-413552/

Nice curb rash on the wheel LOL

That was a wrong gen a spec picture

base car handles the same and has the samel power and you also pay less.....

I don't know about the music

Sold it to your brother? Why didn't you just give it to him?

These LED headlights on modern vehicles gonna cost a fortune to replace them especially the Germans cars

Curb rash 😔

Damn that’s sexy it’s about time Acura. Why did they get rid of the 330hp 3.9 jesus Acura get your shit together even Kia passed you.

$500 per badge

I'll rather have a Passport. No point on third row seat on such a small car. Good seeing you again, Nathan !

Mdx is getting better every days. My 2008 has 330,000 miles and still pulling a 18 feet boat. When to trade it for 2013. Acura offers me $1000. I ll keep this bich forever,

Acura’s are meant for human transportation not hippos wheel.

Another word it's just mainly about the cosmetic look. Which just doesn't seem like a logical investment. Nty! I'm gonna pass

Waaaay too slow at that price... Explorer is putting out 400HP with same/more/better options... Jeep SRT... nice review though.

Ford explore more better more horsepower twin turbo 365 hp

A-Spec? No, more like a-spec. I've seen better appearance packages for less.

Love this MDX wish it existed in Europe

looks mean

Nope

Still behind the times. Interior is extremely outdated and the engine performance hasn't been improved in a decade. They should be making sport tuned MDX's by now pushing 400HP. I HATE american cars but seriously considering the Jeep SRT over this.

Just a package nothing different really just like tlx aspec

It’s not a bad price for the as tested model. However, I’d take a VE Toureg over it any day.

Lol "ridiculous push button transmission" um that's the future bud and you should know that, a knob would be worse

So more money for nothing....ok got it 👍🏻

It’s not far from M-package from BMW, with exception of lower and firmer suspension, better grip and less body roll at corners, but worse riding on bad streets.

Yep this was a paid video

Acura doesn’t stand out like Lexus. They look like any other car on the road. Lexus has sharp looks, just looks expensive and is more reliable. It’s just another ugly Honda.

just the style looks dated. And it needs 2.0T instead.

For people who don't have a bunch of kids, the Acura RDX is smaller, sportier, and just all-around better.

Acura needs a new grill design.

I personally think , it’s a very sexy looking car , one thing that would hold me back, would be lack of power. For 50 K I expected 300+ horsepower. Would I buy it ? Possibly, only because it looks so dang sexy

The price is ridiculous. Knock that price into the mid 30's and you've got something.
