I've had the vehicle for about 3 weeks. Noticed some cosmetic issues with the car. Overall satisfy with the 2014 Limited.
What I dislike
What I like compared with a 2008 MDX:
What I dislike
- The paint job is poor.
- The passenger side 2nd row have areas without paint (the lines following the shape of the wheel well). This was delivered in this condition. The left hand side of the image suffers from glare but there is a similar missing paint in that area.
- The channel under the roof rails on the driver side.
- The passenger channel is normal.
- Another shot
- The passenger side 2nd row have areas without paint (the lines following the shape of the wheel well). This was delivered in this condition. The left hand side of the image suffers from glare but there is a similar missing paint in that area.
- Powerfold 3rd row prone to accidental activation.
- Can’t turn off parking sensors by default
- Exhaust smell issue with high RPMs.
- No storage compartment (with door) in the back.
- Placement of weatherstripping seam. On the Acura, the seam was placed in a less visible location (by the hinge of the door/tailgate).
I guess the small details is what separates a luxury brand from the rest.
What I like compared with a 2008 MDX:
- The extra room in 3rd row.
- Power fold side mirrors
- Rear view camera useable immediately (MDX took about 10+ seconds to “boot up”)
- Active parking lines.
- Adaptive cruise control
- LATCH in one seat in the 3rd row.
- Overhead air vents in 2nd/3rd rows.
- No fuel cap.
- Bluetooth (MDX Bluetooth wouldn’t activate if the call was initialized on the phone)
- 2nd row fold down on both driver and passenger side.
