Hi,
I am currently in market for 2017 MDX. Seems few of the Acura dealers have already got delivery of first batch of 2017 MDX.
Starting this thread so that folks who are considering 2017 MDX will get know the test driving experience of others. And also what kind of deals are available from dealers.
I have gone through most of the threads related to issues/complains about 2016 from owners, it would be nice to know how 2017 MDX performs for following factors :
1) Tranny (most noted complain from 2016 owners) :
How does the shifting of 9Speed ZF transmission feel in 2017. For 2016 model, people had complains about lurching, slow shifting etc at slow speed. Though most of the owners acknowledged that tranny problems resolved after the firmware update.
(Since most owners started noticing these issues only after driving for a while, hopefully if any issues are surfaced during test drive itself).
2) Infotainment system:
There have been few complaints about infotainment system being laggy sometimes, hanging in operation, controls stopped working etc.
It would be nice to know of how it feels in 2017.
- Touch screen
- Sound quality
- Navigation
- IPhone Siri connectivity and operation
- bluetooth connectivity and operation
3) Suspension noise :
There have been few complaints about suspension noise in 2016 on rough roads. It would be nice to know if any such problems identified during test drive.
4) Overall build quality:
Few folks have complained about degradation in build quality. No perfect matching of fenders, hood, low quality paint in few sections, random noises from inside dash etc.
Good to check for such issues and update it here after test drive.
5) Overall driving experience. May be out of 10 ?
This would definitely vary person to person and based on personal preferences. But still it would be good know what others think of the overall score for 2017 MDX.
6) Any special Deals they got from dealers.
