Any Acura Owners?

Wife and I are looking for a new 3-row SUV to drag the family around. We've been looking at the Volvo XC90, VW Atlas, Lincoln Aviator, and Acura MDX. The Lincoln looks nice, but it gets really expensive. The Atlas is great for space but has a "cheap" interior. The Volvo was fine, but it didn't separate itself from the MDX for the extra 10-15k extra we'd have to pay.

So that left us with the Acura MDX which my wife loves. I have no experience with this luxury Honda and was hoping I might get some opinions from current or past Acura owners. Mainly, I am wondering how people feel about the cargo space (family of 4 which does travel 2-3 times a year with a full Highlander + my kids getting into sports), the trackpad to control the entertainment system, and the overall opinion of their car in general. Happy? Sad? Angry?

Any opinions would be much appreciated.

While you wait for Acura owners...
Why not a Tesla Model Y? 3rd row is actually useful for adults if I recall.

In short, we're not completely sold on 100% electric yet. I know ponyo is going to come in here and slap me for saying that, but it is what is.

Long answer, if we did go that route, I would end up wanting to install the panels and the charging station at home as well. That changes the cost by a large margin.

If you're comparing to a Highlander, why not just get something like the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid? Great fuel economy, an actually useful 3rd row, and pretty darn luxurious interior in the top end trim.

Minivans are a big no from my wife. Literally 0 interest whatsoever.
