"With an advanced all-wheel-drive system and active suspension, the 2010 Acura MDX handles like a sports car"
“With bumped-up luxury appointments in the cabin, an advanced cabin tech suite, and unexpectedly good handling, the 2010 Acura MDX provides driving satisfaction for leisurely cruises and mountain romps.”
“Blind-spot detection is one of our favorite safety features, and it is nice to see Acura employing it in the MDX.”
“The navigation system guided us through city streets, its route guidance enunciating street names, and the MDX proved very drivable. In the madness of downtown streets, where random double-parked cars and road construction require quick lane changes, the MDX's light steering and responsive low-speed acceleration helped us jump the car from lane to lane.”
“As we gave it gas on the way through the turn, Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive system (SH-AWD) performed its torque vectoring magic, sending power across the rear axle to spin the outside wheel harder than the inside. The feeling of the car sending its back end around to help complete the corner was fantastic.”
“This feature, called Song by Voice, worked well, never once getting our requests wrong.”
“The freeway gave us the opportunity to test the car's adaptive cruise control, another new feature for Acura. Setting the speed at 70 mph, we left the brake and gas alone, watching as the MDX matched speeds with the car ahead, maintaining a set distance. There was plenty of traffic, with some slowdowns to 40 mph, but the car kept its distance from the one ahead, and did not react badly when other cars cut in front of us.”
