Same here …. Also a 2020 AWD Advance owner and have had no issues after 28K miles. It’s never been back the dealer. I do all the maintenance myself. Getting 23.8 mpg overall so far for those 28K miles and also in the high 20s on the open road.We have a 2020 AWD Advance and LOVE it. Trouble free and enjoyable. I’ve forgotten a lot of the differences with trims, but would be happy to answer any questions about this one.
Ive heard people diss the 9-spd transmission, but I believe they have ironed out the issues. Mine is butter smooth both up and down the gears. I’ve been really impressed at its smooth behavior and the mileage it’s helped achieve—high 20s on the highway.
Keep in mind that people come to forums to complain. And they usually outnumber happy people 10 to 1. Use complaints as resources, but don’t assume it’s normal.
Good luck!
Well I have had for about a month it’s great really only getting a handle on all the tec settings make sure you get the manual with it mine was missing so was getting agrivated with that .Seams to scratch easily with the dark color I have I prefer white cars .seats a little firm but only have 18000 .some Honda dealerships don’t work on them.But not a problem.I am looking at trading in my 2019 Silverado for a 2020 MDX with 16000 miles. After reading some posts on this page it seems like there are a lot of issues with the MDX. I like the size over the Lexus 350. Is it common to have issues with the MDX. I wanted a Honda/Acura because I have always heard that they run forever. Any suggestions on what I should look for when MDX shopping?
Excellent, thoughtful analysis of the 2020 MDX.We have a 2500 Denali Crew cab (2015) and a 2019 MDX hybrid advanced. The denali has a noticeably quieter interior, better road noise isolation and less wind noise, The MDX is better than the majority of Honda/Acura vehicles we've ridden in and is quiet enough. Seat comfort they are comparable and the rear seats in the hybrid advance with captains chairs are as comfortable as the rear seats in the denali. The Denali was our long distance cruiser, but now it's the MDX. IMHO the dash and controls for most items like audio, seat heaters, climate control etc. are better on the Denali. MDX requires taking eyes off the road more than the denali which by now I seldom need to do. MDX wins hands down on handling and for MOST snow rain conditions vs. the part time Four Wheel drive. And the MDX has a far better traction control system. Part may be due to the hybrid with complete individual control to the rear wheels.
Denali is now our trailer tow vehicle, big loads etc. MDX our most often driven vehicle. Course the MDX hybrid wins on economy, 26-28 in town, 28 on the highway
