  1. If you value reliability a lot, you’ll be happier with a regular MDX than a Type-S tbh, my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance is fantastic
    2
  2. Except the BMW is reliable too (with the inline 6), also for the MDX I think the standard one is more worth it than the Type-S as it’s more reliable and won’t have low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, leave performance to the Germans as they do it better
    2
  3. I wouldn’t compare the MDX to the X5 or X6, BMW will destroy Acura from a performance standpoint, even the MDX Type-S lacks performance, MDX is a fantastic luxury SUV but a mediocre performance SUV, I love my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance but I can’t wait for my dad to get a fully loaded X5 in a few months

  4. I agree with you the ZDX will be a failure also I personally think the MDX Advance is a better choice than the Type-S. The standard MDX is more reliable, doesn’t have low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, and no MDX is a performance vehicle. I do wish Acura brought back the sport hybrid trim level though. My mom has a 2023 MDX Advance and it’s incredible but I think I would like it more if it was hybrid. For those folks who want SUVs with performance, they should ignore the Japanese and go German. We’re currently in the market for another luxury SUV (2-row one) and the next car will be a 2025 BMW X5 40i M Sport with all the options (planning to get it later this year). Def buy out your leased MDX or get something German!

  5. Idk about that comparison, I’ve been in both and the X7 is def nicer but the MDX shockingly has more space, I’d say the X7 is a Range Rover competitor, a X7 buyer will be very different from a MDX buyer tbh

  6.  @VenomTech72  not BS, the X5 is reliable if you get the 40i and it doesn’t have air suspension, air suspension can be a pain as a car ages
    1
  7.  @harrytej  the B58 is reliable but you still gotta maintain it, we’re not talking about Acura’s J35 here
    1
  8. MDX is amazing for reliability, my parents had a 2009 MDX for 9 years in the past and we hope to keep our 2023 MDX (that we got almost 2 years ago) for another 8-10 years
    1
  9.  @dongshassy  what year MDX was it?
    1
  10.  @dongshassy  he def got a defective unit and went to a sketchy dealership, I’m sorry this happened to him but at the same time a MDX acting like this is rare
    1
  11.  @PsychicMedium4747  I didn’t leave anything out, you just remain heavily biased
    1
  12.  @uocana1  I respectfully disagree however I can see why you say what you say, the Acura MDX and MDX Type-S are fantastic luxury SUVs but mediocre performance SUVs. Also the standard MDX is more worth it than the Type-S as the Type-S is less reliable and has low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads. Also regarding the X5 they are reliable as long as you get the 40i and it doesn’t have air suspension (less reliable than a non Type-S MDX tho). I love my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance (had it for 2 years and hopefully we can keep it another 10) but I’m really excited for my dad to get a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year (we want to downsize our 2018 QX60). Hopefully we can pay off our X5 in the 1st 12-24 months of ownership than keep it another 5-7 years on top of that. Also keep in mind the X5 will get much better MPG and much better performance than ANY MDX. If your mom is leasing a X5, tell her to opt for the plug-in hybrid (50e). It’s a less reliable car but much better on gas and has more performance. The cost difference between leasing the 2 isn’t much either.

  13. X7 is a Range Rover competitor, X5/X6 are Cayenne/Cayenne Coupe competitors, agreed that it makes no sense to compare a MDX to these, I love my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance but my dad is getting a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year and the BMW will destroy the Acura from a performance standpoint, I think the normal MDX is more worth it than the Type-S bc the Type-S has low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads and it’s less reliable than the normal
    1
  14. I wouldn’t compare Acura with BMW in general, BMW will destroy Acura from a performance standpoint, even the MDX Type-S lacks performance, honestly for the MDX I think the regular one is more worth it as it’s more reliable, cheaper, and you don’t have to worry about low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, leave performance to the Germans

  15.  Bloodmoney92.  the Acura is WAY nicer than your typical Honda, as I explained it's just as nice as the X5 we're getting (also before you ask my dad and I have sat in 10 new X5s and test drove 3 + he's had a new gen MDX the past 2 years and intends on keeping it another 10)
    1
  16.  Bloodmoney92.  okay this is a lie, I’ve been in both many times over and we’re about to have both so I think I’d know what I’m talking about
    1
  17.  Bloodmoney92.  I’ve been in both many times over and we’re about the own both, I think I would know what I’m talking about
    1
  18. Agreed fully, my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance is incredible and I’m excited for my dad to get a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year (we’re selling our 2018 QX60)
    1
  19.  @AgonxOC  my mom owns a 2023 MDX Advance and my dad is getting a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year, and I will agree/disagree with some of your points. The main thing that separates the two is the MDX obviously having more space (and yes the 3rd row is useable). The MDX actually has more space than the BMW X7 and is on par with the Mercedes GLS. Also, the MDX has an edge on comfort over the X5 although both are very comfortable. In addition, the X5 doesn’t have a nicer interior than the MDX although it does have better tech than our Acura. The X5 is def worth every penny over the MDX though as the X5 comes from the more prestigious brand and it will DESTROY the MDX from a performance standpoint (+ the X5 gets superior MPG). Also don’t even try to bring the MDX Type-S into the equation bc it still can’t perform (although being a fantastic luxury SUV), has low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, and is less reliable than the standard MDX and even the X5 (given that the X5 doesn’t have air suspension). Both our MDX and X5 we’re getting are fantastic vehicles and I’d highly recommend them both! I like our MDX because of the space it has to offer but that aside I will agree that the X5 is the superior car (hence why it’s more expensive)
    1
  20.  @dongshassy  nope bc my mom owns the MDX and my dad is getting the X5, the MDX has smoother ride quality but they’re both very comfortable, X5 will destroy the MDX performance wise tho, also I wish CR scored the trim levels individually instead of giving all the trim levels the same score as some trim levels are more reliable than others, for that reason alone I can’t trust them, the X5 only has one reliable trim level and that’s the 40i (without air suspension), the standard MDX is very reliable too (probs even more reliable than the X5 in the long-run) but ik the Type-S ones have issues
    1
  21.  Bloodmoney92.  if he has the car, I’m pretty sure he can afford the gas, people like to save money though and that’s okay, we have the 2023 MDX Advance and don’t tend to worry about gas mileage as we need the space and it’s a reliable car that will last us a long time, and if we want good gas mileage (and/or good performance) we can always use our BMW X5 (don’t have it rn but we’re getting it later this year)
    1
  22.  Bloodmoney92.  congrats! The X6 is amazing and it’ll def have far superior performance to Acura (although I do think Acura has the edge on comfort but both are very comfortable)
    1
  23.  Bloodmoney92.  your welcome! It is one hell of an awesome car for sure, I’m def very happy for you and your family
    1
  24.  @VenomTech72  they already did and I doubt it’s gonna be reliable bc it uses so many GM parts
    1
  25.  @VenomTech72  I’m talking about the ZDX because you brought up EVs
    1
  26. Actually the BMW X5/X6 are more reliable than the MDX Type-S but less so than the standard MDX, I feel the regular MDX is a better value than the Type-S as it’s more reliable and neither MDX has performance, my mom’s got the MDX Advance and my dad is getting a fully loaded X5, they are very different and both incredible in their own ways
    1
  27.  @hungson215  I like both cars a lot but agree with you
    1
  28. My mom has the 2023 MDX Advance and my dad is getting a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year, I love both but the BMW is 1000% the better car, it will destroy the Acura from a performance standpoint (although the MDX does have the edge for comfort)
    1
  29. I’d agree with you if they were comparing the standard MDX, the Type-S isn’t worth it to me as you’re sacrificing reliability, getting low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, and still not having performance, I love my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance and I’m ecstatic for my dad to get a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year

  30.  @VenomTech72  tell that to the BMW, it’s B58 engine is very capable of making 800hp with modifications
    1
  31.  @VenomTech72  I won’t, a lot of people have modified B58s and made great sums of power, just not on a X5, X6, or X7, I truthfully suggest you sit down, numerous people have turned Supras, M340is, etc (which use the same B58 engine), there’s a reason why my dad wands his next car to have a B58 (tbf he’s not gonna mod it), NOT a J30AC, the B58 is truly as incredible as the car community describes it to be
    1
  32. Acura also lacks the performance of BMW even the Type-S, for the MDX the standard one is marks worth it tbh (it’s more reliable too), go German if you want performance
    1
  33.  @TheBreakfastLover  I’m not talking about the TLX and 3-series, I’m talking about the MDX and X5/X6, also ngl but you seem biased towards Japanese cars and against German cars
    1
  34.  @TheBreakfastLover  okay tbf I should’ve specified that u was talking about the MDX and X5/X6 but if we wanna talk about the brands in general just know that BMW M cars will eat any Acura product alive from a performance standpoint other than the NSX supercar
    1
  35.  @TheBreakfastLover  doesn’t count, when I said M cars will destroy every Acura from a performance standpoint (as they should due to being more money) other than the NSX supercar, I wasn’t talking about M Lites, talk to me when an Integra Type-S beats a M2 or a TLX Type-S beats a M3 or M5
    1
  36.  @TheBreakfastLover  M-Lite cars still aren’t the same thing as a full-on M car, they’re called M-Lites for a reason, a badge is meaningless when pretty much anyone can stick it on to any car, people put M badges on BASE model BMWs all the time
    1
  37.  @TheBreakfastLover  it pretty much is and unfortunately not by BMW themselves
    1
  38.  @TheBreakfastLover  in BMWs case it’s fine bc M-Lite BMWs still have better performance than normal BMWs, if Acura called A-Specs “Type-S Lites” it would be stupid as A-Spec trims don’t have any performance benefits over the other trims
    1
  39.  @TheBreakfastLover  it’s not JUST an appearance package, on MOST BMWs, the M Sport Package uses superior suspension (my dad looked at the new X5 recently and after test driving the Luxury Line and the M Sport the M Sport handles noticeably better and it actually rides a bit softer due to adaptive dampers)
    1
  40.  @TheBreakfastLover  no it doesn’t, please cut the bullshit, I love Acuras and my mom has a 2023 MDX Advance but please don’t act like they will destroy BMWs bc they won’t (hence why my dad is getting a fully loaded X5 soon)
    1
  41.  @TheBreakfastLover  let’s talk once the TLX Type-S beats a M3 or M5 and when a Integra Type-S beats a M2
    1
  42.  Bloodmoney92.  well my mom owns a 2023 MDX Advance and my dad is getting a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year, the X5 isn’t any nicer than our MDX and the MDX has an edge on comfort but the X5 has better tech and far superior performance, MDX Type-S isn’t worth to it to me as you’re compromising reliability and getting low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads (also no MDX is a performance SUV)
    1
  43. Very true, my dad and I test drove the BMW X5 40i M Sport last month and we were impressed for this reason, he’s getting one with all the options later this year
    1
  44. Thank you for sharing these facts also I personally don’t think the MDX or X5/X6 have good in-car seat massaging, if you want massaging seats, get a BMW 7-series or Mercedes S-Class
    1
  45. And it’s worth every penny over the Acura, I’m fond of both cars but the Acura lacks performance while the BMW has it
    1
  46.  @TheBreakfastLover  PLEASE stop lying, the normal MDX does 0-60 in 6.3 secs, the MDX Type-S does 0-60 in 5.7 secs, the X5 40i does 0-60 in 4.8 secs and I’d assume the X6 40i is slightly quicker, X5 will significantly outhandle the MDX too especially with the M Sport Pkg (and ofc the X6 handles even better). Honestly I feel the normal MDX is more worth it over the Type-S as no MDX has performance going for it, the Type-S is less reliable, and the Type-S has low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads. We have the 2023 MDX Advance and it’s a fantastic luxury SUV and honestly a bit more comfortable than the new X5/X6 but I’m excited for us to get a brand-new X5 (fully loaded) later this year (to replace our 2018 QX60) as the X5 has actual performance unlike the MDX. X5 gets MUCH better MPG too, has better tech, and it has brand prestige going for it. That’s why I say it’s worth every penny over the MDX if you don’t need the space of the Acura.

  47.  @TheBreakfastLover  yeah cut the bullshit please 😂, I KNOW DAMN WELL the BMW is MUCH quicker

  48.  @TheBreakfastLover  looks like I learned something new today, can’t win arguments with idiots no matter how hard I try 🤷‍♂️
    1
  49.  @harrytej  for the MDX I wouldn’t bother with the Type-S, I’d get the standard one and call it a day, the MDX is a fantastic luxury SUV but it’s def not meant for performance, also the Type-S MDX is less reliable than the standard MDX (it’s even less reliable than some X5s) and has low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, the X5 (even in base form) is a great choice for performance driving (knowing it’s a performance vehicle idc too much about it being more expensive to maintain than Acura), my mom has the 2023 MDX Advance and my dad is getting a fully loaded 2025 BMW X5 40i M Sport in a few months, both amazing SUVs (BMW is lot more fun tho)
    1
  50.  @harrytej  I think BMW offers 3 years of maintainence free now (Acura offers 2 years), my dad is in the market for a new X5 and we asked the dealership about the maintainence plan
    1
  51. BMW will crush Acura performance wise ofc
    1
  52. Agree fully, I love my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance but can’t wait for my dad to get a fully loaded 2025 X5 40i M Sport later this year, the MDX has a the edge on comfort although both are very comfortable for sure but the X5 will destroy the MDX from a performance standpoint, I don’t recomend the MDX Type-S tho as I feel like it’s just an enhanced version of the already great regular MDX but with more mechanical complexity and low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, the MDX and MDX Type-S are fantastic luxury SUVs but mediocre performance SUVs, honestly Germans do performance a lot better
    1
  53.  @AgonxOC  nope, the regular MDX is more reliable than the X5 but he X5 is more reliable than the Type-S MDX, you don't seem too smart to me, the list scores reliability based off a mix of all trims, not just the most reliable ones, the Type-S MDX has had issues
    1
  54.  @AgonxOC  as I’ve tried to explain, the data they used is from 2022 and 2023 model year products, which will naturally hurt the MDX reliability score as 2022 was the first model year, the early build 2022 MDXs had issues which is why I like to avoid 1st model year cars, sometimes you’re better off waiting till model year 2 or 3 for this reason, also it would be smarter if they scored individual trim levels instead of giving all the trim levels one score, for the MDX, the standard ones are really reliable (it’s a Honda Pilot mechanically) but the Type-S ones have had issues, for the X5, despite it getting a 92/100 score, the plug-in hybrid trims are really unreliable, the V8 X5s are reliable until higher mileage and the non-PHEV inline 6 X5s are very reliable (as long as you don’t get air suspension which most X5s don’t have). This is why IMO they should score individual trim levels separately instead of combining the score into one, another example of this is the Dodge Durango as the V6 ones have problems but the V8 ones are solid
    1
  55.  @AgonxOC  mainly the Type-S one, the turbocharged engine had issues initially and we all know the problem with air suspension, the standard MDX will be more reliable (more reliable than the X5 too), in addition some of the early build 2022 MDXs also had issues due to being a 1st model year product which is why I usually like to wait until model year 2 (in some cases model year 3). The new X5 with the B58 is def a reliable car but it’s still gonna be less reliable than a non Type-S MDX (just don’t get the 1st year model of either).
    1
  56.  @AgonxOC  that list is for customer satisfaction not reliability, ofc more people are going to be satisfied with the X5 over the MDX as the X5 has one major thing the MDX lacks, which is performance, if this list was for reliability, there would be NO WAY IN HELL the Tesla Model Y would make it on the list, also a non Type-S MDX will be more reliable than a X5 weather you like it or not although a X5 40i will be more reliable than a MDX Type-S (unless the X5 has air suspension)
    1
  57. Honestly for the MDX I feel like the standard one is more worth it than the Type-S, you don’t have to deal with low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads and the standard MDX is more reliable (why you get an Acura), also the MDX and MDX Type-S are fantastic luxury SUVs but mediocre performance SUVs, as far as the BMW goes, it’ll destroy the MDX performance wise even the base ones, I love my mom’s 2023 MDX Advance but the 2025 X5 40i M Sport (fully loaded) my dad is getting later this year is def the better car
