Got this one & still have my 08 with 141K miles!

I was 14 in 2001 and grew up with the 1st generation MDX when my parents had them. Now, in 2024 I bought a new MDX for my family and I. This car will always be in my family. Hands down most reliable and best SUV I've ever had, and I've had everything from Range Rovers to the Porsche Cayenne.

My GF is impressed with the “look” of the newest gen MDX. I come here to find out Honda has both VCM (variable cylinder management) and DI (Direct Fuel Injection). Those are technologies which demand attention to maintenance and repair. On top of turbo technology. And the Type S has air suspension? Those are likely to fail and be expensive. I’d delete those when it came time or stay with a basic model. This sounds more like a BMW than a Honda… yikes. Mind you I added a S-VCM controller and Idlestopper on her ‘19 MDX to disable the problematic VCM and make the Idle stop optional. Change oil to Quaker State Full Synthetic, Valvoline, Mobil1, Pennzoil 5W-30 off of RAT540 engineering blog’s list for the best wear protection. And do it at 5,000mi or sooner

Despite the timing belts, this is actually one of the best V6 engines in the world. It is especially smooth and quiet for a V6 and part of that is due to the use of timing belts. Timing belts are quieter than chains. That timing belt only needs to be replaced every hundred thousand miles and it probably is more reliable than a few engines out there that making use of chains. The reason Honda is continuing with the belt is because they do not have any plans to introduce a new V6 after this one is retired.

I owned a second gen MDX with the advance package after 100k the repairs where very expensive and the one thing that always happened on it was uneven wear on my tires and the dealer could never solve it. Buying 4 new tires every year gets old. Every X5 has an adaptive suspension, I also got my X5 for $69k the only missing was a massage seat. Since reliability was mentioned my 2006 RL with advance packed was a total lemon. The car literally would turn off when breaking. The dealer and Acura National could never solve it, you literally could not break without the engine and car turning off. So if I’m spending 70+ k on a vehicle I’m not buying a fancy Honda that depreciates like hell and the dealer can’t fix. I also own a 2019 330 and both of my BMWs have never had a problem. Whereas my experience with Acura was less stellar.

LOL at all the coping BMW fans. The MDX is by far the better value over the X5 xD 40i when you factor that it's just as fast, is lighter, has excellent driving dynamics, looks better (subjective), is much better equipped, and has three rows. of seats. I like both BMW and Acura but BMW has lost it's way. The sedans are all hideous and overweight now that the 5 series has been redesigned (still hoping to get my hands on a F90 M5 before it inevitably goes up in value), and the SUVs are heading that direction as well (see:xM, X7). Then there's the fact they're selling overpriced garbage like the 2 series GC... Don't get me wrong X5 is still a decent vehicle (for now), but it's not as competitive with Acura like other vehicles such as the m340i which still owns that entire class (again, for now). The MDX is Acura's bread and butter (and the reason it's not Infiniti). It has been the best selling 3-your luxury SUV in America basically since it went on sale decades ago and is a huge cash cow (along with the RDX) and it only keeps getting better, unlike most BMWs unfortunately.
