2014 Acura MDX
Last year I replaced the Water Pump, AC Condenser, Brake Rotors/Pads and tires on my wife's X. ~$4k. Now, I need to change the Valve Cover Gasket, Oil Filter Gasket and probably VANOS Solenoids and possibly one of the air springs in the back and maybe an Evaporator. 2007 X5 3.0 65k miles. Carmax is giving me $16k for the car. I'm just tired of spending the money on non-maint stuff that shouldn't fail this early. BTW, this will be a first non-BMW is 15yrs... although it brings me back to the my Acura Integra days. |

Reviews say it is even less sporty than the outgoing model, which is not a good sign, but it depends on your wife's needs.
Also realize it's the first year run of a new design.

Also in my list to do was/are control arm bushings I test drove the MDX and it seemed decent for a family hauler. Two thing taking me away from another X5 is the price and the 3rd row room. $15k difference for similarly equipped cars and the f15 3rd row is the same size as the E70. With growing kids.... |

Escalades are cheap, reliable and have real 3rd row seats. Enclave is also very nice, if your open to a domestic.

The only thought I have about an MDX is that it's an MDX. You should
know what you're buying. It's a step or two down in performance and maybe a step up in reliability. In the final analysis I doubt anyone around these parts are going to give it glowing reviews. Since you have to pay for it maybe you should could go for it and get a "NEW" BMW of your choice.

Just looked at the MDX Saturday at auto show and it looked kind of cool. Black, sort of pimped out w/some upgrades and "tech package" etc. Really spent some time going over it w/the Acura guy. I wanted to love it more as I am frightened for my CPO warranty to run out in October. Also wanted to love the Audi (A6 and Q7), Benz E350, a couple Infinits, etc. Problem was, I got in my 2008 4.8 to drive home after and didn't like anything nearly as much as what I have. Damn you BMW.
