2022 Acura MDX | Premium Family SUV Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- Thanks to my day job at Kelley Blue Book, I drive and review lots of cars. This 2022 Acura MDX is one of them. The Acura MDX is a midsize luxury SUV that competes with the Genesis GV80, Volvo XC90, and Lexus RX-L. The BMW X5, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne might also qualify as fancier alternatives. In this video, my wife, daughter, and test a 2022 Acura MDX A-Spec to review its positives and negatives from a family perspective.

I really do write the music for these video reviews. The songs in this video are…

I feel like their daughter gets seriously doted on - that’s a loving family right there. Good on you all.
Exactly my thoughts and comment
I really love the family-oriented nature of your reviews. As a dude with 3 kids and looking for a luxury family hauler, this is definitely up my alley!
Love the fun vibe of Micah’s reviews. Great banter with his “sweeties” while staying on point with information. Other UA-camrs are getting boring with their half hour brochure like reviews.
Love these family car reviews. You guys are on point and evie is beginning to sound more and more like a car journalist. Keep up the great work!
It would be cool to see y’all doing real life activities like going to a drive thru , getting groceries, car wash etc
love what y’all are doing!!❤️
The removable middle seat, Life Changing!!
Wish we had that with our Palisade. We chose captains chairs but a bench/captains chairs combination would be amazing
@@WhoIsThisGodPersonAnyway definitely! This should be standard.
I often see in the thumbnail what car you are reviewing and think I’m not interested to see that. But when I click I am always glad I did. Your family makes reviews fun!
Piano black trim is horrible. Have no idea why automakers think people like or want it vs. a tasteful matte finish.
Love your channel guys. You just made me realize my dream job. Reviewing cars with my family.
I love the new design language from Acura , as a RDX owner and lover Acura has rekindled what was lost on the 04-08 TL’s I absolutely love my RDX TURBO SH-AWD, aspec. Excellent review guys. Can’t wait for the next one.
Gloss black is like a fly ... it’s always there and it continues to bug me !!!
Love your vids
As a father, I think these family reviews are great, but more importantly, they're a time capsule for the Muzio family. It gives them a chance to see how they change over time and how much their daughter has grown. I think that's the most beautiful part of the videos.
I also dislike black, shiny plastic in cars. 😂
Your reviews are so cute and fun that even though I'm not driving many of the vehicles you're reviewing (I drive a 2021 Nissan Rogue Platinum AWD, thanks to your family review of it), like this Acura MDX, I still watch them just to watch how much fun you're having reviewing it with Evie and your kid. Keep it coming, Micah and Evie.
Marvin, I really appreciate your kind comment and support. Cheers!!
EXCELLENT Review! Micah and Evie work so well together.....great couple and family review. Very informative. Excellent filming and editing. You deserve a million subs. Keep up the great work.
I think Big Automaker is in bed with Big Warehouse Club Retailer to use piano black plastic to drive microfiber towel sales. ($3 off at Costco through 6/13!)
Micah stumbled on your channel, so glad you're doing this. So many of the car reviews are done by people w/o families where their priorities are just different than family men/women. Hey I was 20 once and was driving sports cars in the winter. Once you have the family you care about keeping them safe while you can still enjoy your ride. Keep up the great work!
That’s exactly why I chose a new MDX earlier today! I told the salesman I wanted a safe and classy yet roomy ride to take my family to dinner - grandparents as well.
Evie loves her man! She keeps touching his arms lol. 😝
11:43 - can completely relate to your daughter’s expression. That’s gold right there.
Glad to see micah doing his own YT channel and the family combo is unique and fun! Might I say, dynamic?!?
Her voice is grating though
Evie, your hair looks amazing
By far the best car review video that involves the spouse, feels very genuine. As opposed to the couple who passive-aggressively and annoyingly remind their viewers about their German car possession history. If you know which channel I'm referring to.
With so many cars held up because of the issues with micro-chip and battery shortages, I was most pleased to see Acura is one that did everything right. Total make over and past owners love the one million + MDX's saying this one is the best of the best. I agree and drove all the luxury cars. Bought the Red Pearl and love how it drives through our curves and rolling hills in most of Alabama. The beaches are coming soon! Now that we have our shots the wife and I may just go see family in K.C. and Branson area! Love all the tech, but it takes a few weeks to get used to all the interesting features with the two huge 12.5 inch screens. Like that the music, sat., and even air and heat are easy control, not needing much work to get moving. Several I drove you had to activate the tech screen while burning up inside the SUV, NOT GOOD. Acura has really worked this MDX over inside and out, and the 10 speed in house transmission works so well with the 3.5 six. I will drive this three years and by that time who knows how far the EV's, PHEV's and perhaps the infrastructure will be for long trips, so you have little anxiety. I also like, which NO reviewer has mentioned is it says on the gas cap, use regular, mid-range or premium, try that with a Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, BMW, etc., etc.
What a good way to start my day! This was greats guys!
Everytime I see the new MDX, it gives me CX-9 exterior vibes. Which isn't a bad thing.
Enjoyed your review...I am considering a new 2022 MDX, but your mention of the acceleration issue really bothered me, especially from what I recently read regarding past problems with the RDX and MDX. Was just curious if Acura solved any issues related to this?
Been waiting for this one!
By any change was the auto start/stop system on or off while you were driving this vehicle? I know you said that you felt a hesitation in terms of power delivery while flooring the MDX. My parents have an Advance Pkg one (we did not want the Type-S due to low-profile tires that go flat easily) and while I do agree that there is a hesitation in power delivery while the auto start/stop system is on, we never felt like there was a hesitation in power delivery while the auto stop/system is off (which is why we always keep it off). We love our MDX and I am hoping to make an ownership review on it at some point though I’m still deciding on what exactly to say in my review (I want to be as informative as possible while not offending people). This is the 1st video of yours I have ever watch and found it to be very informative and entertaining. Keep up the fabulous work!
Mdx made a beautiful comeback same goes for the tlx all we need is for them to redesign the ilx and make it look like a spiritual successor to the integra
My Dad is saving for the upcoming MDX Type S. Great car!
Im 23 and im saving for it too lol
First time watching your family styled car review and I enjoyed it! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the everyday “normal” vehicle family usefulness review. Scribed!
Love her laughs best part of this video, just subscribed, needed to hear more of those laughs!
No. Her voice is enough to want to leave her in the woods
Very Cute family Micah! We have 2 girls 9 and 13 and it's so amazing seeing them become little mature individuals. Everything dad's never achieved....
Great review with the family 👏👏👏
Drove an ASpec mdx yesterday, I noticed a bit of road noise on the tires, not sure if it’s the Bridgestone or the a spec package. Just seemed very noticeable for me in this price point /luxury segment. Vehicle is actually very heavy as well. Any thoughts on this from your review?
Innuendo at an all time high!! You guys are fun!
You have a beautiful family! I agree about the shiney black plastix!
This style of presentation is wonderful. This is an all out family car and the review demands that aura. Continue the good work. 11:42 look at his daughter, seems to say...oh god, dad started again on the ICE system. I am out. LOL
You guys are the best!
Enjoyed the vid, keep up the great work
We All have to learn something new in our lifetime, not liking something does not make it bad.
Good review as always!
Y'alls baby is getting tall! What a doll!
Great review!! MDX in the king of 3rd row SUVs and a great deal at $60k for the A spec
This was a fun, informative video to watch thank you
LOVE your reviews, so thorough! How do you feel about the upgrade to the HUD?
Also any chance you'll be doing the ascent soon? ;)
Great family Review y’all
Sweet ride, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for great review as family. All I have to say is they should give us 360° view when we park or reverse. Come with 60k price tag it should be there.
My wife is also 5’2 and says the hood would be hard to see over. How’s the forward visibility?
As the Honda Pilot (Acura MDX's cousin) has immensely impressed me with its solid reliability, excellent practicality and dynamic handling, I would be interested in considering an Acura MDX as a second vehicle in the near future.
what a SPUNKy review. Thank you!
I wish automakers would come to the realization that piano black plastic doesn't convey "upscale", in fact, quite the opposite.
Awesome Awesome review!!! I seen good amount on the road already.
it was very fun to watch!
First time viewer here! My wife’s aviator is up in a year and I know I have to start thinking of what’s next. The aviator was fine but has it’s issues. Wife wants next 3 row SUV not as wide as the Lincoln but can be longer. MDX, QX60, grand Cherokee l. Any others?
New MDX looks stunning and god bless you guys!!❤️❤️
Man I love the new 2021 MDX my friend bought one in February and loves his new ride
They actually didn't make a 2021 model, likely due to cvid, but they did come out with the 2022 in February 2021, when I got mine
I need to fit in the cargo area a dog crate that is around 31" tall. At the lowest point of the rear, what is the height from floor to ceiling when the seats are folded flat?
Micah in addition of the sport mode you can press D (drive) again and the transmition gets more responsive.
This is an amazing 3rd row suv!! Also, super reliable and safe
The mdx is the best looking suv/cross over hands down. Can't wait for the type s.
The only thing missing from this MDX, the TYPE S will bring. Awesome video!
Ah, but CarGurus review of Type S is so disappointing.
His daughter literally copy-pasted his face :D That must feel great as a parent.
I love how many idiots say these are minivans that don't know all the differences in the underpinning, suspension, and awd systems where the minivans are a lot weaker than their crossover counterparts. People are so dumb when they just start repeating something they read in the comments somewhere without asking a professional what the similarities and differences are, like say, a mechanic or engineer
I love the MD-X rated review. :)
😂
These two seem like a great couple who have fun and enjoy being parents. At first I expected Micah would have picked a more wild worldly chick but I was way off! These two make me smile. I hope to find such a kind and sweet soul of a wife. Micah hit the lottery here! He’s cool too ofc lol
You shouldn’t have any issues finding her looking the way you do! 🔥😍
With the new dash material and trim in the Civic appearing, I’m hopeful Acura will adopt some of that in place of the easily grossed up piano black plastic in this.
Saw one of these at the light, with the A-spec badge.
Beautiful family and a beautiful SUV
Spunk??
This is a Lovely car. I'm getting this !
Does the second row seats have arm rests when you convert it to "Captain's chairs"?
No
Everyone, if cannot afford the MDX or its main competitor the RX, the CX-9 is an awesome alternative.
When I watch all the Wonderful Family Videos of you three, I never know who the real child is? What an amaxing Family and Forever young!
Hehe. Thanks for watching, Gene. Always good to hear from ya!
Howdy, awesome video as always guys! I personally s despise the touchpad! I’d rather have lathe Lexus mousepad system, or a touch screen! It would personally be a deal breaker for me! Great car aside from that!😸😸
I just picked up my 2022 Advance Package MDX. It's so bouncy on uneven city roads! I think something is off
Looks like you're driving up to Big Bear CA
Am I first to comment ??? Hi Micah, loved the review !!!
How much money you need to put down on it?
Add a reflection test? Sometimes shiny center consoles reflect the Sun into driver’s eyes
Yes hot stud this is the best MdX - I just traded in my 2020 Aspec with 2022 Aspec I love it I get lots of accolades in street from people who like :-)
Bonus points for Fiona Apple’s “Paper bag” ....loved the 🦎and the spunk lol such a naughty episode I love it
Great video. Sad that Honda still can’t get their transmission and power trains working smoothly. I hate this about their new economy focused transmissions. Pilot and previous MDX 9 speed was the worst. Toypta has issues with their 8 speed too so it’s not just Honda.
I’ve always loved this SUV great seller
Black plastic or piano black should be banned from all cars! Nice review!!
Cool, and energetic video…
Best car reviews on the platform by far. And that’s coming from someone who does car reviews. Lol nice work 🙌🏻
Man, that is so kind of you to say. Right back at ya! 🙌
@@MicahMuzio ♥️
The MD is so well rounded, A great choice....no doubt!
it’s good for its price but there’s a reason why cars like the X5 and GLE are more expensive
@@kristians2704 care to explain the reason sir?
@@stewartstarling2309 RWD platform, turbo 6 cylinder engines, nicer interiors,
more advanced tech.
Wow! Someone actually brought one. 6:54
Finally, Acura looks nice again. Not so bland!
Having lived with a car like Honda CR-V, I thought Evie would love Acura MD-X which is a much premium and larger version of the former brand and the model. Why didn’t Evie fall crazily in love with the car?
Probably the best looking Acura in over a dozen years. Acura has come a long way since the 2009 TL 🐔
Evie’s laugh is the Best!😂
Manufacturers really need to ditch the gloss black plastic... really hate it. I've own a black optics package A4 and love the exterior, however the cheap gloss black plastic interior trim is hideous! The standard aluminum is so much nicer.
Hate the gloss black in my Subaru Outback. It just accumulates dust and make the car feel dirty all the time. Plus they are finger print magnet.
the way you guys flirt is so cute
I love the interior except the piano black. I keep my cars clean and it drives me crazy.
I love Acura but it looks big to my taste. Thanks for sharing.
The RDX is a perfect size.
@@billharris7235 thanks!
I like Evi. She's got a lot of SPUNK.
Evie said “Spelunky”
Can you get a hardtop? If not, does that one close/have a shade? (I'm a cave dweller, I get better contrast peering out of the dark).
Then pano roof is standard, no option for no sunroof. It does come with a shade though.
