That’s awesome! Good to hear that these cars are reliable! I considered a green 07 model before this came about!

@Honda Accord Guy 05 Only downside (to me) there's no Bluetooth, but I do use the CD Player all the time (I'm old-school 🤣) and the ELS Sound System is Insane In a Good Way of course!!

I love mine so far, only gripe is the gas mileage…I’m considering buying a older model TL as a commuter car! I love acuras.

@@HondaAccordguy05 A 2014 Advance you can get for like 10-15k

@@HondaAccordguy05 yeah.. the gas mileage isn’t great. Other than that, everything is amazing

@@HondaAccordguy05 what’s the gas mileage?

@@e70_x5_guy4 been averaging 16-20 Not hateful but not great

Agreed, I see these a lot! Even the earlier pre-facelift models! Very reliable cars.

So far, owning my 12 Tech for 3 months. I have the oil consumption issue. Mines pretty bad, 1-1.5Q per 1K miles. I’ve contacted Acura and they have launched their investigation on my engine and it’s consumption. They’ve done 3 tests and have “apparently” started the process. Reading online Acura should be replacing my engine with no cost to me and putting me in a new Acura loaner for 6 weeks. Not sure when this will happen. My only gripes with the vehicle are the gas mileage, It gets 14-16 City (like you mentioned with yours) And a max of 19-20 on the highway. But realistically my combined average has fluctuations between 16-18. The premium gas is a pain, because it’s 91, not very many gas stations carry 91, it’s all 93, so you have to pay even extra. I really wish I would’ve gotten the Advance model, instead of the tech. I would love to have adaptive cruise and ventilated seats. I’m highly considering upgrading to a 2014-15 MDX Advance SH-AWD or a 2014-15 TLX Advance with the 8spd. As the gas mileage on both these cars are much better than mine. Overall I’m pleased with my mdx but I probably should’ve done more research and considered the gas mileage beforehand.

@@HondaAccordguy05 My 11 MDX Adv was my main travel vehicle at +18,000 miles per year. Wasn't as bad mpg wise since I was usually 19-22 mpg on the hwy. I just hated when I got to my destination and was back in the 14-16 mpg range with city driving. Only the 14-15 MDX Adv came with full Acurawatch and no active damper system. You have to get a 17-20 MDX Sport Hybrid or 19-20 MDX Adv for the electronic damper system. I purchased a 19 MDX Adv Sport Hybrid back in 2019 and had the 11 MDX at the same time. The 17-20 MDX Sport Hybrid solved my mpg issue with always getting 25-28 in city/combined/hwy mpgs, 321hp, and always 400-425 miles between fill-ups with the 19.4 gal gas tank on 87-91 octane. The 3.5L +2014 MDX has waaaay less issues, runs on 87-91 octane, LED headlights, updated tech, improved back up camera, and you can see 26-28 hwy mpgs. The +14 MDX city mpgs can be same or higher than the 07-13 MDX hwy mpgs. The 3.5L 13-18 Acura RDX is pretty much a two row version of the 14-20 MDX (you only get the CR-V based awd and no sh-awd available for the 13-18 Acura RDX).

Should have kept it. Could have gotten another 150k out of the Acura. But as long as ur happy

Acura is still willing to replace the engine on a 12 year old vehicle? Shocking. My 2012 has slight oil consumption. Maybe about half of yours.@@HondaAccordguy05

Congrats, If you’re looking at a 2010-13 model make sure it doesn’t have the oil consumption issue.

How do you know if it has the oil consumption issue, because I’m thinking of getting the 2013

I’m working on making a recreation video with a backstory. Long story short, I was doing about 45mph and it had just rained, Took a turn and my front tires were pretty baled (I had new ones on delivery 🤦‍♂️) When I turned the car just kept going straight, loss control and hit a guardrail then spun into a ditch

You can’t get a MDX of the second gen with push start. You have to get the 3rd gen which didn’t start until 2014 unfortunately

Not for these, They are notoriously reliable.

I have a 2011 MDX with 161K miles on it, just had timing belt, pulleys, tensioner, water pump and oil pump replaced. It was $3444.09 which my aftermarket warranty covered $2037.37 and I covered $1406.72 out of my own pocket. Now my MDX is going to be solid for another 100k+ and it was well worth it. The warranty is $146.43/month. Anyone buying used I say get a aftermarket warranty unless you do your own mechanic work. Love my MDX!!

Yup....between 90k and 100k! You can probably do it at 110k or so, but you're taking an unnecessary change!

@@HondaAccordguy05 you own a cobalt?

It was $14k out the door, bought it from a dealer in Gaithersburg MD, 100K miles one owner, with new tires, floormats, coils, spark plugs, timing belt, water pump, oil change etc.. So the amount of money I’d save in the future on maintenance was worth it by spending a bit more for a nice condition, well maintained vehicle. It now has 122K miles, I sold it to my mom who is driving it and I’m driving a 2010 Prius, Mainly because the MDX gas mileage was becoming a bit ridiculous (17Mpg Combined) And I wanted to downsize from a 3 row SUV. It’s been great and has had no issues other than an oil burning issue which was since fixed. If you don’t need a MDX, get the RDX, just as many features and gets better mpg, still fast, still luxurious and still good looking. But still the 2nd gen MDX is awesome!

​@HondaAccordguy05 you're all over the place. Goes from a mdx to a prius, you don't buy an suv with a 3.7 for gas mileage nor buy an suv with a 4 cylinder

@@HondaAccordguy05 Well you made it out safely that’s important. No worries but yea it would make for good content. I recall being in a neighborhood I’ve never been and my friend was giving directions, came upon a Y in the road, he said go right, I said no left, locked them up and skidded straight into the curb blowing a front tire. I removed the spare from the back put it on the ground and spent 30 min looking for the jack. It was inside the spare wheel. 😡

Factory stereo in my 2011 MDX is very excellent surround sound audo, depending on the package I believe it is 8 to 10 Speaker system depending on the base or tech package you have. Clear audio deep base
