Bought my first Acura in 1990. It was a Legend. Didn't know a thing about Acura, but I was impressed with the multiple J.D. Power ratings and how few cars were in for repairs in their shop. The Legend was a great car with little repairs, only regular maintenance. Put 150,000 on that vehicle.
In 2003 I traded it in for an MDX. Now 21 years later I still have it with 336,000 miles. At 240,000 miles I began to have parts fail (alternator, AC compressor, radiator, leaking o-rings, gaskets, rear main seal, heater core, suspension bushings and boots), which I've replaced. But the engine and transmission are still running well and the body and interior look great. Best car I've ever owned.
I've been doing my own repairs and regular maintenance at home. MDXers.org with 90,700 members is a great site for DIYers who own MDX's. So I now need the Acura dealership for fluids, some parts and occasional service. The guys in the parts department, (Brayden and others), and the service department are always helpful and customer focused. Even though I'm not in the market for a new Acura or regularly use their service department, they still treat you with the same care and courtesy.
When this 2003 MDX ever wears out, I'll be back for another MDX! read more
