a SUV !?!?

Well .... as most of you know my lease was up on my C300 but we did keep it in the family so Joe has it now and i still do take it for a spin just to listen to the X-Pipe mod !!

I finally got a new ride ( well new to me ) 2007 low mileage Acura MDX with the Tech Package doesnt drive anything like the C but i knew that getting it. Guess looking to get more space in case ummmmm we start a family

Here's some soorry *** pics from Joe's Blackberry !

Very nice stable of cars. Any reason why you went with the mdx over the ml? Used I would imagine they are very near the same price, and I'm sure you would have gotten a great deal on the ml considering you would have received loyalty pricing.

Congrats on the new car!

It took me about a month of visiting various dealers looking at the RRS , ML's , FX's and the MDX. The deciding factor was when someone i knew from an Acura dealer called me telling me about this MDX that they just got on a trade in and him giving me a great deal that I couldnt refuse yay

My better half drives a white Acura MDX (which I actually bought at Open Road Acura in NJ.) I like it even if the third row area is kind of cramped. Hey, I don't have to sit back there and my kids are petite. It's perfect for a small family.

Congratulations. Ang galing...

Good luck and best wishes with it....check the build date. If it's before June 07, make very sure no one is tailgating you. While since then, MDXs have gotten very good overall crash test results, before June 07 production, rear impact wasn't so great.

I am Jeff

Congratulations Elaine!! You'll love the MDX with the tech package. My fiance loves the interior when compared to the ML.

You know, it's not so heartbreaking that you still have the C300 in your stable! Good for you.

Enjoy the new one.

We are looking to upgrade my wife's MiniCooper to an SUV next year when we start looking at having our first kid and she is really liking the MDX. She really wants a vehicle that has a Hybrid option, like the Lexus SUV, but I'm not sure what she's going to eventually end up going with. It continues to change based on appearances alone (we have not test driven anything yet) and I've been wanting her to get either the new ML or the GL and she is liking the Audi and the MDX. Interesting that you chose the MDX and it appears that some other folks on this page have the same vehicle and like it. I'd be interested in your thoughts after you drive it for a couple months.

Congrats and they look great together!

Salamat We don't expect to use the 3rd rear seat much ( those days are loong gone ahem ahem if you know what i mean J/K ) but it's nice to have just in case you desperately need the extra seating !!

Really ..... ? Hmmm ... i'll be sure to keep an eye on my rearview mirror and simply floor the gas if anyone gets to close to my ummmm .... rear

Ohhh i got mine in tan with a blackish trimming and love it !!

Ohhh trust me i still take the C300 out for a spin here and there !! Aside from AZN's LED eyebrows and parking lights all those mods are mine

Thanks tube !!

Well .... the major factor for choosing the MDX was pricing which like i said i got a killer deal from an ummmm .... old "friend" but the MDX is a very nice ride and does have that 3rd row option and i do love the look especially without the new 2010 beak

The MDX is supposed to be one of the better driving SUVs with the SH-AWD. They put it against the X5 and handling in bends was even slightly better because of that... the X5 doesn't have an equivalent... only the X6 has it, called DPC (power to the individual wheels). Anyway, of course these SUVs drive a lot heavier overall than a passenger vehicle... all that extra weight... even bigger engines can't compensate fully.

Hey guys ...... it's little ole meee

Funny I still find myself browsing MBWorld and am actually trying to convince Joe to get that HOT CF grill from FXAutodesigns !!! Well i joined Acurazine and the MDX section there isn't nearly as nice as it is here in W204 ahem ahem ...... thought I'd share recent pictures of my new ride which I'm actually loving with the 300 HP

I just gotta be careful stepping out of it to be sure I'm still looking like a ..... lady Muuuaaa miss you guys !!

Wow Ganda ride and the driver Congrats on your new ride I wanted MDX so bad before but wife so inlove with the big star.

C300Kid

whos that chick? hahaha jk

glad you're liking it.

omgitselaine

Salamat .... bluushing here !!! I looked at the MLs and GLs but I got a great deal on this MDX from an old friend soo I couldnt refuse !!

Samieee

Hey you look beautiful

The MDX must be a great ride. I think Honda has the best navigation systems. I love my stepdad's 2010 TL, especially with over 300 HP. It even has the same MPG as the W204!

omgitselaine

Ummmmm who's the chick hmmmm you already forgot ahem ahem ?? J/K !!

Awwww thank you for the compliment .... bluushing even more now

The nav is pretty good though i heard with a so called "update" it can be improved upon since mine is a 2007 !! The 300 HP really makes a nice difference compared to the C but the one thing i wasn't expecting and am pleasantly surprised with the MDX is the nice roooar it has when i floor it

MPG .... hmmmmmm i don't even bother with trying to figure it out but i'm good for about 200 to 250 per tank so i'm happy

ulovemybenzo

weeeak team benzo 4 life sonn! hahha jk congrats on the soccer mom mobile hahhaha jk =D

i like the mdx...congrats

Krytech

Gorgeous!

(nice car too... )

MDX w/ tech is a nice ride, my wife is looking to pick one up for her next SUV.

E92-Lighting

the MDX still drives fine to me

omgitselaine

Okay okay i know this isn't a umm Acura forum but i just wanted to share my simple mod on my MDX !! I'm still looking for a nice set of 19's or 20's for the ride and in the Spring maybe paint the calipers RED

Sportstick

If the mod is what I think I see....the filled-in grille...I'd certainly be keeping an eye on the temp gauge!!

omgitselaine

Silly goosee ........... it's actually the same OEM grill but the upper and lower parts painted black not really a huge huge difference but like i said it's a simple mod. Something i would most definitatly do if i had an 2011 mdx

Sportstick

My apologies for misinterpreting! It does look nice, but I'm surprised that the original grille was that solid. But, if that is how they made it originally, you certainly improved the appearance with the black paint.
