You're right, mine, running it's best is 22/23 mpg. but way more comfortable than most cars on long trips.

Same here, we had a 2004 till 2016 with about 268,000kms. My parents bought a 2016 mdx and it has 180,000kms now. My brother drove the 2004 till about 290,000kms and then it needed 4 tires, rotors, calipers & struts. He is a broke alcoholic so it’s been sitting since 2020.

@rant gant Couldn't have said it better myself.👍

Im currently looking at one because my first car was in a collision. Ive heard its one of the best suvs on the market. Its only got 186 thousand kilometres. I just dont know if i want an SUV. I like having a little car to get around the city in

How many transmission

Considering a 2004 with 140k miles on it. 1 owner. Clean carfax. Guy wont let it go for less than $5700. Would u recommend i go for it?

@@kaliammalnataraj514 Mine had 143,000 on it when I bought it in 2012. I have only bought 1 new car in my life and I have always gotten good deals. BUT I always pay my mechanic to do a quick look at the car first.

@@Fyourfeelingz Original, serviced twice. Have you had experience with bad transmissions in Acura's?

@@brendabrunner5342 i just bought a 2003 mdx with 212,500 miles on it for 1900 it seems to run and drive good but I’ve seen a bunch of people say that the transmissions in the mdx aren’t good

hey quick question. my girlfriend needs an suv because we need a bigger car to fit our child in. I came across a rust free and dent free 2004 Acura MDX with 161k miles. I do hear good of these cars and heard they have a DVD player also? My girlfriend is kinda worried of the 161k miles but told her its a Honda. It'll last with right maintenance.

@@inzane3229 thats the exact mileage as on my MDX. This is by far the most roomy, most comfortable car I've ever owned out of the 16 vehicles I've had before. I had an infinity g35x and I would take the MDX any day. It rides like a Mercedes, the Bose audio sounds like you were wearing earmuffs in other cars and in this car you took them off. The car sits high so you don't drag your butt in and out of it. I bought my car pretty cheap $1500CAD. These are basically the weak points of the car (fuel economy 17mpg city/20 highway, 91octane fuel required, slightly higher insurance rates in my area, shocks, springs, window motors, rusty rear wheel wells, rusty rear subframe mounts) my car had a terrible rattle while driving and a huge clunk when turning the steering wheel, so I took a flashlight and found a broken spring on the passenger front shock. Replaced the strut assembly with a $60 one from an autowrecker all by myself. Also there was a thumping and rattling noise in the drivers rear when going over bumps, so I replaced the rear shock with a $20 one from a wrecker and now she rides like a dream. I also had to remove and disassemble the pass rear window regulator motor because the metal wire that brings the window up and down has broken off of the mounts and got pulled in too far into the motor and jammed the motor, this also caused the window to fall down and not go up. It was a two man job to put the motor assembly back together because of the huge tension on the metal wire when you try to put it back onto the mounts. I would suggest buying a whole assembly from a wrecker for 50$ instead of doing all that work. The rear subframe mounts have "cups" that protrude from the body of the vehicle and cover up part of the subframe mounts, at the location where they mount right up to the body. Those "cups/covers" get extremely rusty, but that doesn't effect anything. But it's inside those cups the little space in between them and subframe mounts, is where dirt gets packed and causes rust. With my car, I simply cleaned up that space got the dirt out and painted the inside with por 15(the best rust sealing paint). The battery was dead and I had to boost the car to start it when I first got the car, I simply charged it on 2amps for three days and it works perfectly now. The hood wouldn't open back up If I closed it, so I simply got a pry bar in between the latch mechanism under the hood and the hood, and pried it open, then o had to spray it with penetrating oil and work the latching mechanism back and fourth until it was free, and the hood would then pop open when ever you pulled the lever inside the car. The only problem I haven't got to solving yet is the fact that my rear dvd player screen, airvents, and AC doesnt work. I've heard that people remove the fuses for the dvd player, so that it doesnt cause parasitic load on the battery during storage. The fuse for those rear systems is located on the drivers side under the hood, close to the firewall I believe. Im fairly sure there are 5 fuse boxes. In this car. The ac tends to leak at the rear of the car where it travels to the rear passenger section. I haven't gotten to fixing that yet. Besides all that so far my car has been good, not a single light on the dashboard!

Some tips can you give me. I got a 2005 with good record it drive excellent. I heard about the trany too.

@@MrJorgelleras Mine just has a leaking rear main seal and was quoted $2,200 to fix. But besides that, just keep on top of transmission and differential fluid changes, you should be good

@@salvationanthem8077 does your transmission slip I also have a 2004 mdx with 170k miles and the transmission slips like on 4th or 5th gear idk what to do

Depends! Love both but the Acura is more of a cruiser. The Trooper is a serious off road vehicle. I have a 98 Isuzu and loved it! Very bare bones. The Acura will have nicer comfort features. Good luck!

I KNEW I WASN'T CRAZY!😭 Just got a 2005 mdx and somehow by mistake I had the infotainment stuff pop on the touch screen showing the song and CD info... Been trying to find it again since ... started thinking I was paranoid.... I'll try holding the button like u mentioned. Thnks SOOOO much! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

it smh doesn't work in mine , is yours the navi model?

The third row has no leg room to speak of, it's perfect for little ones, but they need to be big enough to not need car seats.

These came out in 2001.. The Honda Pilot was introduced in 2003 so technically The Pilot is a scaled down version of This MDX💡

Do not.....i would pay no more than 3 grand

Not only does it belong to the company but it’s a Honda product… Get use to it.

@@thatguy651000 No. It's a Acura product so you get used to it. Loser

@@louf8335 no you are wrong it's a Honda product Honda first Acura second know your history idot Acura is another name they use to sell it to us in America outside of this country it's just called Honda there is no Acura name
