Just about every car magazine and user groups write how wonderful the MDX is. MDX seems to be a great SUV, but nothing is perfect. I like to start this thread with things that I like to see changed. Hopefully others will follow with things they do not like about the MDX.
* I really dislike the ceiling mounted middle row, center seat seatbelt. It is a very poor design, and perhaps made that bad due to patent limitations or cost savings. At least provide a regular lap belt so customers have a choice not to use it.
* It would be nice not to have forced black privacy glass in the back half of the MDX. Not everyone likes them. BMW, and many others do offer a choice. Make it an option (or at least an option not to have them.
* The side of the MDX design is too plain. A ding guard strip not only adds needed protection, it will make it look better too.
* The front bumper is too thick compared to the light. The MDX looks like it has a thick round chin (Kind of like Jay Lenno
. It needs more definition in the bumper below the lights.
* The beige interior leather, does not match the other non-leather beige interior components. The two colors are too close to be two-tone, and not close enough to look uniform.
* The chrome door handles are nice, but from a side view, do not match any other chrome. This is very evident on the darker colors.
* Why don't the back door windows go all the way down?
* Add some readily accessible cup holders to the middle row. The ones in the center arm rest, or on the inside of the front armrest, which needs to be open, are not always practical.
That’s all I can think of for now to get this tread going. Hopefully Acura reads these direct improvement suggestions. Go ahead and add yours.
