| Acura Oakland Access to the rear seats requires some climbing around which would prove difficult for people with bad backs or stiff joints. With the third row seats up cargo space is virtually nonexistent. |
| Acura Washington Dc The Acura MDX we tested came with the Sport and Entertainment packages which is everything Acura offers. Acura Oakland. That means it includes navigation Bluetooth cell phone integration and a top stereo all of our favorite cabin tech toys. |

| Acura Philadelphia Test the tech: snow trip Coincidentally we got our hands on the Acura MDX the same week we had planned a trip to Lake Tahoe a winter wonderland compared to neverbelowfreezing San Francisco. So it was a pretty easy choice to take the MDX up and see how it handled on slippery roads snow and a long highway trip into the mountains. Acura Dallas. On the trip we made significant use of the navigation system entertainment climate control and SHAWD. |
| Acura Riverside To start off we used the voicecommand system to enter the address of our weekend getaway. Acura Oakland. Being somewhat experienced with Acura navigation systems we sped through it fairly quickly: pushing the voice button on the steering wheel saying a command getting a result on the LCD then cutting off the voice help by pushing the button again to say the next command. |

Because we were smart enough to leave around noon on a Friday the live traffic reporting showed green lines meaning freeflowing traffic all the way to Sacramento where we had a small section of yellow or 20 to 40mph traffic. Acura Oakland. In Tahoe the navigation tried to lead us up a street that was closed due to snow and ice but we checked the navigation map and saw we could get on our road from a different direction. |
| Acura San Diego As we proceeded around the closed road the nav system recalculated our route promptly. Acura Oakland. It hasnt been a particularly snowy season on the CaliforniaNevada border so we didnt have to contend with heavy snow on the roads. |
| Acura Newark But we did want to so we drove off the road to a snowcovered meadow and proceeded to try out the traction. Even with highway tires the car did well. Acura Oakland. We could feel slip starting here and there only to be compensated for by a combination of traction control and the SHAWD. |
| Acura Of Seattle With temperatures around freezing the cars heated seats and climate control came in handy. The front seats get dual climate control while the middlerow seats have a single climate control zone. The front and middle row seats are also heated. Acura Oakland. During a freezeout test where we had the windows down during a 20minute drive in the evening front and middlerow occupants were kept comfortable while the thirdrow passenger was subjected to a continuous blast of freezing cold air. |
| Acura Dealer, Acura Bergen In the cabin Acuras Technology package for the MDX is very similar to the package in the RL and the RDX. Acura Oakland. With the MDX it also comes as part of the Sport package and includes navigation with live traffic reporting the exceptional ELSPanasonic stereo and Bluetooth cell phone integration. Acura Dallas. In our review of the RDX we complained about the haphazard mess of buttons around the steering wheel and the stack. Acura Philadelphia. Acura cleaned it up a bit for the MDX using a nice triangular design for the hub of the steering wheel that makes multiple buttons easily accessible. Acura Oakland. The center stack joystickknob can be a bit difficult to figure out when trying to find satellite radio stations or tracks on an MP3 CD. |
