My Acura RDX is very smooth riding, fuel efficient, easy handling, and fun to drive. I had no major problems with it and would highly recommend the RDX to family and friends!
very good car and value. it has some great storage options. very comfortable. Excellent gas mileage. when using satellite radio it lets you know when there is favorite artist or song on any station.
This car is perfect for a small family. Or a single individual. Plenty of style, room for storage and great gas mileage. we use 5is car to transport our ups around town as well.
Not up to date styling, but a good value in a used vehicle. Lots of room, very comfortable on the highway, also great towing capacity. Down side is poor gas mileage, but you had to know that before buying.
At this point, I don't think I'd buy another because the few surviving examples are approaching 30 years old. But, this is a solid, fun car. Over 25 years, and 300,000 miles, I replaced a few radiators, alternators, water pumps, the top a couple times, window motors, exhaust... Most everything that can be replaced. But not at a rate I would consider unreasonable for that length of time or distance. This car isn't super fast, but I wouldn't consider it under-powered either. The suspension is fantastic for what it is, and this car shines on winding country roads, especially with the top down. Parts are starting to become difficult to find, and having a good mechanic available is a must for diagnosing problems. These were built in Australia. 20 years ago, I recommended these to anyone. Today, if you can find one in good shape, and have access to a good mechanic that likes working on unusual vehicles this is a fun, generally reliable, quirky, unusual car that can be had for a song. But buy with the understanding that they weren't intended to last 30 years. My "would you recommend this car to a friend" answer is limited to good examples of this car, and friends with a touch of mechanical ability and an understanding of how cars age. I would not recommend this car to a first time car buyer who finds one for $500.
Have the Duramax Crewcab. Get 15mpg with 12' NorthernLite Camper and 14mpg towing with the 8x10 cargo trailer with camper. 20mpg on highway with no load. Bought it in late 2008 with 32k on it have 101k now. Only been in the shop a couple of times for minor issues.
It has taken me everywhere for 13 years---reliably--and I have always kept oil changes and all mechanical repairs or replaced worn parts, changed tires yearly
This vehicle is spacious enough for seven people to stretch out and carry all of their luggage. The engine has enough power to get you wherever you need to go.
The Prius is an exceptional car. Price is good. Performance is superior.
Interior feels deluxe; exterior styling sleek. Gas mileage fantastic. I am completely satisfied with my purchase.
This truck has functioned over the years as both a workhorse and a passenger vehicle. With the 460 cid V-8 I've never lacked for power to tow or haul anything. Easily handles 2,000 lbs on back and is a monster in snow.
Replaced the throttle body early on and recently the water pump. No problems, goes great in the snow. They should still make them. Had 30,000 when I bought it. Now has 193,000.
My next "new truck will be an '04-'08 Ford as well

I'm a born Chevy guy. Always have been. Its just that when I was shipping for my current truck, I tried 5 dodges, 5 chevys and 5 Fords. The Chevys were limp wristed jokes, and the Dodges rattled like shopping carts. Thus, I ended up in an(2006) XLT Lariat, Supercab 4x4. I think that was 2011. Just some disorganized thoughts:
1-its now 2019, and the only thing on the truck that failed for reasons other than extreme abuse and/or neglect just happened. Its this silly little oil filter gasket. Ive got the same fuel pump, alternator, etc. I've blown up the transmission and broken many suspension components, as I have always carried #1,000 lbs of tools with me, and never take them out of my truck. Couple that with the incredibly bad Houston hopscotch motorists(Jam on the brakes.Jam on the gas, repeat) that I've got to drive through daily, and one would think that the truck would've ripped itself apart years ago. But no.
I've towed overloaded trailers 2 hours up mountains in Flagstaff, 4, hours down (red hot brakes-I had to remove my brake fluid cap to allow a small amount to boil out), then cross the desert near the four corners in 110° heat as quickly as I could safely tow 10klbs. If150 disc brake return springsve run it for 48 hours strait to use my power inverter during Hf150 disc brake return springsarvey, and the list goes on, and on, and on.
I have no reason too suspect that the meet ones have gotten worse, bit since the difference may be having a truck pay for itself once, as opposed to paying for itself like 5 or 6 times, I'm unwilling to take the risk. I wouldn't consider buying a newer or older version as long as this one is available.
Great handling and riding car, but then it's a Lincoln. It has a CD player in it, which was a main consideration. The stereo is fantastic with 3 extra speakers in the front compartment. I'm a long time customer of Lincoln and will continue to be.
