@@ej732 , my 2013 Toyota Sienna Limited AWD, with 210,000 miles, has the same 3.5 liter V-6 engine and, most likely, the identical transmission as the FJ cruiser that you just purchased and I'm extremely happy with my Toyota and will, probably, never purchase another make again. Just make sure that you follow the routine maintenance schedule and your Toyota will give you many thousands of happy miles. Make to change the oil, oil filter, transmission fluid/filter, transfer case/front & rear differential fluids, ect... . I use only Toyota/Amsoil oils, lubricants, filters, brake pads, ect... . I do all the aforementioned routine maintenance myself to make sure it's done and done correctly. If you do employ the services of a mechanic, watch him perform the work. Most mechanics are rip offs. Enjoy your Toyota, you won't be sorry.

Honda / Acura transmission problems were up to 2007 only. And don't forget that Lexus LS 400 in 1992-94 had some transmission failures. The cabin material of Honda/Acura is a little better than the Lexus. Honda/Acura feels grippy ride while Lexus gives a float type of ride. Owned both Acura and Lexus.

My first car was a Mitsubishi Diamante, then I went to the 89 Honda Prelude, but it wasn't until I owned a 89 Legend that I realized how much I liked sporty luxury. Then I had a 2005 Civic but never felt satisfied. It was a good car, but I knew it wasn't reliable. Now I have a 2003 Acura CL Type S with aftermarket headers, and I'm in love. To the point that I now want to get a daily driver, so that I can enjoy this beauty for decades to come. It is bulletproof, and when it hits that V-Tech, my heart always races in the best way. I've driven a couple Lexus models before, and they simply never gave me that rush, though I will admit they have a better ride, and are about as dependable.

Just got an '05 Acura MDX for $4k. It has all power and leather everything and handles very well for such a big, heavy vehicle. The S-AWD felt a little strange at first, but now I love it. I did a timing belt change along with the fluids and brake job to be on the safe side, and it runs like a clock. Only real downside is the gas mileage, but it's about the same as my old Ranger pickup, but is 5x the car, so I guess it's worth it. I think it looks better than its Lexus equivalent too. Scotty rules!!!

The MDX is the only luxury vehicle that Acura makes that isn't an embarrassment to the word "luxury". Lexus (Toyota) designs their top of the line vehicles first and the designs trickle down, Acura (Honda), for the most part does the opposite. The RL is based on an Accord for god's sake. Lexus is a household name, Acura is not. And the MDX looks like a Honda Pilot.

Geoffrey Wan these are initial cost and cost to repair will be significantly more Once the warranty is over but again with the comestic issues, you had said you don’t care but if I or anyone was else was purchasing a new vehicle from a luxury brand I’d expect my car to have no imperfections. Tesla is known to have quality control issues and I don’t blame them their a new fairly new company. Consumer reports even removed the model 3 off the recommended vehicles due to the consistent issues and we have seen that Tesla is among the least reliable brands according to consumer reports. Tesla is known for its technology but, the more electronics = the more chance of failure, just look at bmw as an example. You’re car may be working properly but you’re just a small sample compared to the population data we had observed.

Your 5 speed transmission is on borrowed time. Look up the recalls on that specific transmission.

I owned a 2002 TL, sold it with alomost 290k, but had a lower mileage 3.2 and a transmission from a TL which had it replaced at the dealer. Never again.

The transmission did start doing some weird jumpy stuff so I took it to my transmission guy. He changed the fluid using Honda fluid. Boom problem gone.

arturo j guzman agreed! My family has gone through at least 8 Honda vehicles, all with auto trans, and we have never had one fail on us, even with the highest mileage one at about 265k before selling it. Just do the regular maintenance and they run forever.

arturo j guzman So your saying just change the transmission fluid every 30K or so but never give it a flush?

@64arguz 5 жыл бұрын
mikey yes ! if you keep changing the fluid every 30k no need for a flush, check on line, HONDA do not recommend such thing! However if you change several times consecutive your fluid “technically” you are flushing your transmission without a MACHINE , that is safe .

Scotty is exactly right! I have three lexus cars and they have not ever gave me any major problem! I still have my 1995 acura legend Ls! That Legend was the last time i will ever by acura because they went from sporty looking with the legend to boring with the RL! I have had 2 transmission replaced, replaced a engine and coolant issues! Since it was my childhood favorite car i will probably keep the acura legend forever! After that legend its been Lexus for life! Scotty is spot on about everything he said!

Completely agree with Dennis Hopper's comments :) I own both a Lexus and an Acura. The Lexus has been more reliable but definitely has a softer ride. I enjoy driving the Acura more, but it does not feel as well built or refined as the Lexus.

I so enjoy your reviews and information! I bought a one owner 2011 RX 350 with 135k miles for $14K. It was and is in great shape (except the drivers side front quarter pannel door ding, UGH! the public can be so inconsiderate) It was the best riding and performance experience I had while shopping for a SUV. I originally wanted a Toyota Highlander but I am glad I didn't pass up the RX 350. It has been 'the best' of the four SUV's I have owned and I hope this will be the last. Thanks again, your the best !!!

I work at a shop and get to drive both brands on a regular basis. Acura isn't all that much better than Honda, but Lexus is a huge step up from Toyota. In terms of luxury and comfort, Lexus wipes the floor with Acura. Lexus is also built better and more reliable from what I've seen. Acura may be sportier but Lexus can be pretty quick too.

I have a 2013 ES350 and my wife uses a 2014 TL and they're both awesome luxury cars without issues. Granted, the Lexus is more comfortable, but as my dealer says "If you like the ride, get a Lexus, and if you like the drive, get an Acura. Lexus also has a more reliable transmission but if you change your acura transmission fluid as required, it's just as reliable.

I had a 1987 Acura Legend with a 5 speed and cloth velour seats. I still miss that car. I had it for 10 years and over 200k miles. Plus, the factory Pioneer sound system sounded great and looked great with that built in equalizer.

Hey Scotty, Thanks for sharing your 50+ years of experience with us! My 2008 Lexus RX350 now has 93,000 miles on it. This is the first car I've owned with a timing chain, as apposed to a belt. On all my other cars, it was easy to know when to change the water pump. I simply changed it when I'd replace the timing belt. (Around 60,000 miles) I'd like your guidance as to when to replace the water pump on my RX350. P.S. I've done 4 timing belt/water pump changes in the last 15 year. But, I hear it's a real beast to do it yourself in the RX350.😧 Because of the tight space. Please advise! 🙏🙂
