Great review as always Raiti's Rides. My dream Acura would be a 1994 Acura Legend L Coupe.

I love Acura & a big Honda fanatic. Heck I have 4 of em. But man, Acura & Honda now gotta redesign their models. Major Resign time !!

*I love this review because he shows why it's worth it, all the new redesigned things, and the good and bad things.*

I own a base MDX 2011, powerful engine. Gas guzzler 13 mpg city and 20 highway. Live the handling in the rain, snow and the S-handling AWD is awesome in corners.

Thanks for the great review Joe. Love the Acura brand. MDX is one of my fav. I heard the complete new one is coming out in a year or so

I'm loving all these videos 😎 great work

Another great review Joe! I have always really liked Acuras. I owned a brand new 2003 Acura CL Type-S 6-Speed. First new car I ever bought. My parents own a 2019 Acura RDX A-Spec SH-AWD. Wonderful car!! The RDX has the latest and greatest features and infotainment and it will soon make its way into all the Acura products and will get rid of that Dual screen layout, which is really starting to look dated. You got to admit Honda/Acura really doing a wonderful job lately! Honda Accord Honda Civic Honda Civic Type R Honda Passport/Pilot Acura RDX Acura MDX And more!

Thanks Raiti's Rides and your awesome videos! I just purchased a 2020 MDX A-spec for my wife just like the video! It's great.. even though we know a new design is coming out sometime next year, we wanted to get this for getting all the bugs out and being the best looking MDX to date.

Just bought the 2019 mdx last week and i love it!! Worth every penny

Wow Joe,you really inspire me to continue making videos.

I recognize that circuit city

I just got a 2020 Red with Black interior A Spec MDX. LOVE IT! I don't mind the 2 screens or the infotainment system. I hate the new dashes where they glued an I pad to it. Ruins the look and lines of the dash. Again, it's an amazing car all around...

Another great review! That one's a keeper. Lots more to it than meets the eye - sure it could have updated tech, but with smart phone integration and voice control, it works. Can't beat it in the lux/suv segment - it's the best selling vehicle in that class.

Great review I drive a 2017 can’t wait for the 2020

Damn Raitis closing in here on a 100k!! I hope the next GT350 video review we see is your very own personal Raitis rides GT350 in I believe ruby red is what you wanted.

Nice review, joe. I think these are some of the nicest on the road. I love the exhaust tips. Interior its pretty nice too. Not really feeling how that dash on the passenger side has that dramatic curve. Also, no wireless charging? Hopefully with the redesign they'll add that. Honda too, rather than having to worry about wires and plugging things in.

Great review 👍

Joe is banging. Nice review!

Great content again

Excellent video

Man I’ve always loved Acura but they really need to bring back a coupe car

Wish they put the infotainment system thats in the rdx in the mdx!!! Great review!!! Hardest working car reviewer in the 21st century!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Excellent Review

Dual screen is fine. Android Auto shows in the top. I like that I'm not cleaning smudges off the top screen by using the dial controller. Put the AC in auto mode. Set it and forget it. You cannot beat the bang for the buck with an Acura for a proven Japanese brand. Korean brands while have come on lately, they still have lots to prove.

Nice review!

Can’t wait for Acura to do a full refresh and update the interior!!!!!!😤😤😤😤 I miss the Acura TL Type S 😢

I love it! The seats look really nice! I just wish it wasn't so expensive. Great review!

Tokyo auto show . I hope Acura gives us the coupe CLX . Later this year at the tokyo auto show

The spec editions are eye catchers for sure. Love seeing them on the rosd

Is that an old Circuit City store behind you? Lol. Great review!

I like the quality of material they used on there set that should be also on Civic type R.

Nice ride! I wish they had just one large info screen and put a rear camera view in the rear view mirror. Good job as usual Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

I was deciding which one to get but after seeing this one. it looks like a minivan than an SUV. i decided to go with the RDX.

You can drive it Normal Mode under Sport. And there is a Sport Mode with Sport. Can you drive it under Sport Mode with Sport without using the paddle? Or do u have to use them in order not to ruin the car? Please explain to me I will appreciated it. Thanks for the Class.

Hello Joe I love the 2019 Acura MDX A-Spec, I think the way Acura is going is very healthy for the MDX, and it also sounds and shifts like a dream. I would like to see a 2020 Acura RDX A - Spec 1 day. Thanks Joe.

Great review, Great car

Can’t wait for the redesigned MDX. The new RDX and TLX are both drop dead gorgeous!!

Hey what’s your thoughts on the new BMW X3 M competition?

Love the MDX! But I'd buy the Lexus RX350 because it's much better in my opinion. Looks way better especially the F Sport and hybrid models, is sleeker, and can't beat Lexus reliability! But at the end of the day both are phenomenal vehicles.

My friend's young brother drives Acura MDX. Interior is gorgeous and comfortable for driving and passengers.

2 zonks for me, no digital gauge cluster & no pano/sun roof. Other than that this is the perfect balance of price, luxury & sport. So many C/O's coming out with a sport badge but, failing at it horrendously. for example, Chevy is trying to sell the new Blazer RS @ $50k+. It has the HP you want & some niceties but, lacks in luxury. It boggles my mind how non luxury car companies have luxury car company prices.

Great looking car

great review and commentary. Not a lot of rants esp. on the infotainment. We get it, it's not perfect. But smart people adapt :D

How would you compare this A-Spec vs the 2019-2020 Mazda CX-9

Am 6ft 2 so every time you say you are 6ft tall you speaking to me. Had my 2019 MDX TECH SH-AWD for about 1 week now. Amazing auto. So far i prefer NORMAL, and the COMFORTABLE, SPORT setting in that order.

I'm gonna check one of these out today

If Acura redesigns the MDX to be similar to the RDX (interior-wise) and adds the Type-S..... I would buy it in a heart-beat. It would kind of bridge the gap between Lexus/Acura and the ultra luxury brands like Audi, BMW & Audi... at least speaking from a performance standpoint. Oh and for god sake Acura.... give us a bloody panoramic roof on the next MDX! Aaaand turf the Alcantara inserts on the seats.

Not sure if the a spec comes with active dampers...thought that was reserved for the sport hybrid model

Joe i think Acura Legend and Legend type 2 were superb vehicles for the time.. this MDX center dash looks like a 2015 Hyundai elantra.. For that price a Genesis G80 sport would be a way better buy

If you could get the rdx with the v6...now that would be a game changer. Its the only reasom Im lookin at the mdx.

I dont think the a spec have adaptive damping, at least not on 2020 specs. I'm still thinking of getting the used MDX vs the 2020 RDX(nice audio and infotainment)

Great looking SUV, but for just under 60k...my 2009 TL has the same power and engine size... I do hope Acura starts to compete with higher performance cars and SUV’s because they have SO much potential when it comes to essentially everything. Still an amazing looking vehicle

cant wait for the next gen mdx

I want to see the TLX A spec and mercedes-Benz GLS 63 AMG

What's the song to your intro?

U have to do the ILX

It amazes me how Acura still only has 2 crossovers in their lineup, when every other car manufacturer is adding all these new crossovers/SUVs (since the segment is hot).

Anyone noticed the old Circuit City building

In the third row they probably use hard plastics near the cup holder in case a kid spills a drink. Maybe even an adult also..lol

I would go for the RDX.

I rather get the Lexus RX350 than the Acura MDX. *Kinda off topic:* I wish all Acura models had the same interior as the Acura RDX.

What I don't understand is why can't we have A-Spec with Advanced Package?

One of the nicer ones

I so know where this is!

Why was the navigation screen shorting out

Man watching you accelerate late on every corner is killing me. If you accelerate a little earlier this car would be a lot more fun.

Review the KIA K900! You won't be disappointed.

You're right. Acura is good. But in the end people buy Lexus…… don’t know why…

Please review the Lexus Gx460 2020.

Can't wait for the Type S.

Shouldn’t 3.5 V6 make more hp nowadays?

Do the rdx

I know exactly where you are lol. I buy my crack cocaine from a guy in the alley if that place. You are my go to on car reviews. Great job brother 👍🏻

when is the next gen mdx coming out?

Redesign mdx 💯

AT AN ABANDONED CIRCUIT CITY?!?!?

Dude this car has the oldest infotainment system in the segment. I know the car looks amazing outside but that interior is so outdated. When you sit inside a RdX, Tulliride or Palisade the way I did at NYC autoshow you can see why this MDX is not worth the money.

HP is basically same as RDX and no HUD, bah!

I couldn’t hear the vtec

I think it's funny that Acura had it right with the ZDX ,and they let Tesla basically steal the design and now I see mecedes Benz with the same design as well ,I love the mdx but it's not as fun to drive as the ZDX

They have feelings and emotions! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have base 2018 Acura MDX and had the battery replaced twice don’t know exactly what caused. It drive ok but not that good in my opinion. I wouldn’t buy the A spec SH AWD cost 10k more MSRP with the same engine

The best Suv is Acura MDX

I think brands like BMW, Acura and Lexus make loaded vehicles like this expecting people will lease them. Easy to forget how expensive the car is when you don't have to pay the entire MSRP.

Acura needs a R spec with 500hp

The 17-20 MDX Sport Hybrid 321hp powertrain is even a sportier version of the 14-20 MDX with excellent mpgs of 24-27 always.

waiting for 2020 Mercedes benz GLB and Lexus RX350

Please put the link to my KZfaq channel in your next video, I would really appreciate it.

They have a terribly unbalanced lineup, Raiti. Most of their sedans are noticeably outdated in some way; either powertrain, interior or tech. While their SUV's generally stay fresh and desirable. Honda really threw Acura under the bus with their Honda Plus and just general lack of resource allocation for R&D of their Acura sedans. I'm assuming the extremely underwhelming reception the NSX got despite being a legitimate supercar for under 200k$ killed a lot of the motivation Acura had for developing sedans and coupes. The death of the coupe/sedan and the rise of the SUV is on full display over at Acura. I can imagine how hard it is for their new salesmen to establish themselves when they have no choice but to do damage control all day and attempt to sell of outdated Acura sedans.

I hate seeing three row seating in a compact SUV if I want to pay more for 3 row seating I’d buy a big SUV 😕

I used to be an Acura/Honda buyer for several decades. Both have dropped the ball and been incredibly slow to redesign their exteriors and interiors. It’s almost as if they don’t care. Ten years ago I would see Acura MDX and RDX’s on the road. Now, I don’t know anyone who owns or leases an Acura. This MDX looks very 2009ish and other than rims, I’m not seeing anything new. A-spec is a gimmick for badging purposes.

Telluride or Palisade over this all day. It’s a very nice SUV, though.

Lost interest in Acura when they refused to give the RL a V8.

Acura SUVs > Lexus SUVs. Lexus look too girlie, soccer mom vehicles. Looked at several earlier this year. You can't beat V tech power, SH AWD.

The badge is too big!

I think this suv would be perfect for the soccer mom who want to trade her lease ending Honda Odyssey for a new sport looking luxury crossover!

It should have at least 320hp

I have the 2017 MDX- it hasn’t changed a bit except for “CarPlay” 🤦🏻‍♂️. Very noisy and not luxurious- def not like Mercedes. Do not get the fwd- if you must get an MDX, splurge for the SH-AWD. Hopefully they will fix the leaking taillights and the braking safety- Infiniti has a better emergency braking feature.

It's a hon-duh

My wife also had 2018 RX 350. It costed 3k more to MDX but I think Lexus is better overall
