Very Satisfied

I have purchased cars from these guys over the years with great results. I recently purchased a 2006 Acura MDX with 193,000 miles. The miles scared me a little bit but the one owner car has all of the service records from the Acura dealership and runs great. My last car was a BMW X5 and that thing was a money pit! Constant repairs. This Acura has all of the features that the BMW had (heated leather seats, rear view camera, bluetooth, etc) with a 6 cylinder, 24 valve V Tech engine that is as fast as the BMW V8 engine at about half the cost of gasoline. Don't let the high miles scare you. These guys only purchase vehicles that meet their strict guidelines. They have been in the business for many decades and they know how to pick good cars. I waited 2 months before putting this review and I like the car even more than when I first purchased it. No problems at all. Keep up the good work guys. It's hard to find trustworthy dealers anymore.

I love this SUV but it's time to get something new

This SUV has endless of room inside of it. Comes in handy if you need a second vehicle so the kids don't destroy your baby.

This is one of the most comfortable and reliable S

This is one of the most comfortable and reliable vehicles I have had. I used it for commuting about 45 mins each day and it was perfect. I also took my co workers to lunch in it most days, they alway complemented me on having the most comfortable back seats. As long as you perform regular maintenance, it will run great.

Super car!

It has all i need! Everything perfect in this car.Often built on the chassis of a pickup truck, SUV's like this MDX have the strength you'd expect with the added benefit of storage space and passenger capacity

I like and need its utility

I purchased my 2006 Acura MDX Touring in Salt Lake City, UT back in late December 2008 as an Acura Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. It had about 32,000 miles on it at the time. The battery died the following day, but the car dealer (Mike Hale Acura) replaced it for free, no questions asked. My only concern with the car then was the original owner never installed the optional Acura MDX towing package, including transmission cooler, yet installed an after-market tow hitch and was pulling a boat around with the vehicle. I've never used the tow hitch for anything except my bike rack and up to 5 bicycles. Now (May 2019) at 145,000+ miles, I've never had any transmission issues / problems. I have replaced all of my engine and transmission mounts, shocks, struts, engine battery (twice), power steering column, tires (twice), front brake pads, rear brake pads (twice), timing belt, platinum tipped spark plugs, etc., and I religiously follow Acura's recommended service schedule for driving in severe conditions. For the last 3-1/2 years I've been driving in the very hot and dusty Phoenix, AZ metro area. I really like this vehicle. I've found it to be safe, pretty reliable, and practical. It's been the best all-around car I've ever owned (out of 1974 Buick LeSabre, 1979 Honda Accord hatchback, 1986 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R, 1992 Honda Accord EX sedan, 2000 Acura 3.2 TL, 2008 Toyota Camry XLE v6). A car is not an investment, it's a necessary liability. Like any car, if you don't neglect it, and you don't abuse it, it should treat you well. It's just that Toyotas and Hondas typically treat owners better over the long haul than any other car make, IMHO.

LOVE THIS CAR

This car is great for a growing family like mine. It has so much room and it's comfortable seating 7 at one time. It handles well and is great looking. I am happy to own an Acura MDX! ?

Best car I?ve owned

The car is super reliable. Never had any issues. Had it for 10 years when it had 30k miles on it. Just got rid of it at 150k miles but it?s the only car I?ve kept that long.

So far so good!

I haven?t owned it for very long but she is in great shape for the age. My grands love the DVD player and use it every time we go somewhere, they also truly enjoy being able to control the temperature in the back seats (it?s the little things). The car is great for me to work my small graphics business from and I still have room for all the extras. The car handles well and the interior is in great shape too.
