I would actually argue that an MDX is a bad choice for someone who puts 20K miles a year on a car. The gas and maintenance costs will make it an extremely expensive proposition.

Replying to: jmpage2 (May 19, 2008 5:30 pm) I am not worried about gas not one bit. It's all pleasure driving, and my wife has a new accord which gers 25-30mpg. Also being 6'4", comfort was a big reason I am getting rid of my 4runner and into the MDX. The thigh support was brutal on the V8 Limited 4runner, the MDX is pure bliss for my lanky frame. Also, the MDX is a pretty reliable vehicle and very good resale compared to other CUVs. This is a vehicle we are going to keep for 7+ years. I disagee with maintanence being expensive. Maintenence is expenseive on german cars, not really so much on japanese cars. As a former BMW owner, I couldn't keep up with 200 bucks every time i needed a new headlight or 1000 dollar brake jobs because BMWs need new rotors for every brake job, ridiculous.

| also note, you can find 5 year old MDX with 100+ k miles for near 10K asking price, so even if you drop 3 K from that. TOTAL deprication on this vehicle in 5 years is just not possible. | |

Replying to: ingvar (May 20, 2008 5:35 am) Try maintaining a German car for 7-10 years and feel the pinch in your wallet and you'll realize why many long time German car owners are returning to Japan for their next car purchase. |
