The 2023 Acura MDX A-Spec: before you buy

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2023 Acura MDX A-Spec for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page puts the 2023 Acura MDX A-Spec in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

A buyer's checks

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 48 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, forward collision avoidance and electrical system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

The numbers in plain words

It runs the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Plan on about 32 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 10.6 L/100 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $55.65 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

Living with the MDX

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Who it is for

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Drive it on your own roads

If the MDX is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.55 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $185.50 at our price setting.

Year and trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
