Buying the 2023 Acura MDX A-Spec

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2023 Acura MDX A-Spec for sale by us right now. The 2023 Acura MDX A-Spec for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

Before you sign for the MDX

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

What the specs mean

The 3.5L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Plan on about 32 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 10.6 L/100 km. At our price setting, it costs about $18.55 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space, size and seats

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

Who the MDX suits

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the MDX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the MDX answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.55 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $185.50 at our price setting.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Compare the A-Spec with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
