From my own experience it is mechanically sound and the SH-AWD is awesome. Styling, design, and aesthetics are what get people. Personally I prefer the MDX as it is more or less the same with more usability and less so a fashion statement like ZDX.

In 2007 the MDX tooverhead sales crown from the TL and for the rest of the Acura lineup. Has been their best seller since

 

The MDX is the only respectable car in their lineup. And this is the nicest ZDX I've seen and I still wouldn't drive it. It can be a great performing vehicle but a car purchase is very much emotional as well, especially in this price range.

There is only one car i can think of that is uglier than this and that is the Crosstour.

 

I agree. The MDX is a great car. The TSX is a reskinned last gen TL, the new TL is ugly as sin and way over priced, and the ZDX is just the pontiac Aztec of the future ( people will see it, and remember how it was ugly and never sold well)

 

Acura desperately need new designers. Most of their cars look horrible except for the MDX and TSX.

 

Nope. Haven't gotten any ZDX-requests, and I myself am not interested in one.

I'll take one out for a quick test-drive, if you want.

 

I kind of like it in Black. Any other color and I'd have to pass.

 

The stock wheels of the ZDX are okay..........but could've been better.

That and:
Sales may have been a bit higher.........if Acura didn't design it to look like a BATTLE BOAT

 

I wouldn't caught dead in this car, or the TL. Everytime I see one on the road, I turn my head away.

 

Turns out it's a used car, not brand new, originally for $10,000 off, which apparently wasn't enough and/or the car was driven more. 2010 model with 3,700 miles and Advance package. $12,000 off MSRP of a brand new one is about what used ones with comparable miles are going for.

You actually see ZDXs in your area?

Even in the auto-rich D.C. metro-region (supposedly the second-largest new-car sales area in the country outside of SoCal), I haven't seen more than two or three at most actually on the road....definitely less than the number of fingers on one hand.

 

I saw the third one I have ever seen today in my neighborhood. They look interesting but the price is insane . Not my cup of tea

 

I've seen a few around my area.....it's just that front end that really bugs me lol

 

Yep, so far have seen 2 on the road. It's so ugly it gave me headache. I am sorry I just don't like the ZDX and the TL.

 

I formally worked for an Acura dealer - left a year and a half ago.

I regularly drove every model. The ZDX is very similar in feel to the MDX unsurprisingly since most of the underpinnings and the drivetrain are the same. The biggest difference while driving is felt by the somewhat cramped cabin - particularly the low roofline. For comparison, I have much more room in my Yaris. I'm 6'1" and the ZDX's headroom was just barely enough - 1" to spare. My Yaris has 5" of headroom to spare.

It's actually quite fun to drive. Feels substantial. Solid as a rock. Ultimately though, the vehicle makes little sense to buy when you sit it next to an MDX.

Acura could have put its resources into a coupe, which the lineup lacks, and the coupe would have likely sold if done right. Those Acura execs need to be fired.

 

I know people like to continue bashing the TL, but since the refresh, you gotta admit it's a pretty good looking car.
