New Daily SUV

After quite a few weeks of test driving, I picked up a 2015 MDX. Decided to give up some speed for more quality and comfort. I need a few accessories and black out some chrome and I'll be done.

I did. I still can't get over how much the Tacoma went for.

I have a 2012 MDX & it is still the best thing I have ever driven in the snow/winter. I'm sure you'll love it before then too, but it'll blow your fuking mind when its slippery out!

Update:

So I had my first small road trip to a plant in Indiana. The computer gas mileage tracker has been consistently 2 mpg off and shows higher than when I calculate manually. I wasn't in a hurry and took it easy. I was shocked at the mileage for a 3 row, AWD, mid-sized SUV. 31 mpg!! I am sold on cylinder deactivation.

These things have MDS? Do they just shut off two cyl?

 

[MikeyLikesIt]

Yeah, Honda calls it Variable Cylinder Management. From what I have read, it can shut down 2 or 3 cylinders.

didnt that cause a lot of problems in GM engines?

 

[Euro]

Yeah a lot of oil consumption IIRC

 

[boostedguy05]

i thought i heard of horror stories of fried piston rings.

I trust the technology a lot more in the Honda/Acura than the GM.
Honda's usually late to the game with new tech (DI, etc) but when they put it in its problem free.

31 mpg is great. My wife has a 2006 MDX and they get 23. The new MDX is the only replacement she likes.

Honda actually has a lot of problems with their system. It eats plugs and even has grenaded motors in the Accord.
