I pulled the trigger on a CPO Acura MDX. I had a 2013 Tahoe that was getting rusty but ran good and large with poor fuel mileage. I also have an Accord coupe that I love but will probably sell because I just don’t drive it any more because it’s too small for a family. I wanted something quick and nimble with third row seating. I cross shopped the Acura, Explorer ST, and the new Mazda CX-90. The Mazda seemed very mediocre in every way. Paint was horrid and I was shocked for a flagship suv. Explorer interior was horrid fit and finish, dealer was jerks, and was concerned about quality with ford. I have had very good luck with Hondas and hope to continue with this. Being that it’s a CPO with 9000 miles on the clock it comes with a 100,000 mile CPO warranty and a 2.9% interest rate for 60 months. Very good in todays world!
2022 Acura MDX Type S. New ride.

This thing is a blast to drive in the curves. The sh-awd, air suspension, and turbo make it feel like a car
I love the color blue they use these days.
Of course, I'm biased.
I've been keen to drive something with that new Turbo J-Series as well. Just haven't had the opportunity.

Awesome color. Is that three stage and does it cost extra?
Sort of? The only color that the current configurator shows as being 'free' is silver. Every other color is $600 more.
I would consider that as just getting a discount if you want a silver one since all the other colors are the exact same price.
I’m not sure. I’ll run the paint code at work Monday and see what the mix system comes up with
Very sharp looking, congrats & hope it takes care of you & the Family for a longggg time.

I'm not into SUVs for a daily driver. But I must admit that the MDX Type S would probably top my list if I were. Outstanding in most every respect.
I generally don't care for SUV's...but not this one.
Congrats on the purchase.
At that rate, you practically stole it!

I’m sorry you’re upset about that. I generally like Mazda and when I seen how poor the paint was and a couple other things I was turned off for a $60k flagship suv
Thank for all the kind remarks. Now I have to contact Dave to see what flavor of HPL this baby needs
Very nice and best color on them too.Awesome
I'm assuming the purchase price wasn't too far off from the original MSRP on that. I'd think that would be a hot unit, especially given the mileage and paint color...
About 10k less than original msrp.
I’m surprised that Acura doesn’t recommend 5w30 being that it’s turbocharged. Still on the 0w20 bandwagon
