New Poster ('01 owner) - Hi!

[dtrain]

Hey all!

Just signed up. Bought an '01 MDX Base two years ago with 117k from the original owners for a great price. Nearly bought an xc90 at the time, but feel like we dodged a bullet in terms of repair costs (so long as the tranny holds up). Ditched a 10-year old VW Passat in favor of an Accord early this summer for that reason.

Only at 131k now as I typically bus to work. Figure I'll be driving the MDX for a long time at that rate. We have two young kids and the size is just right for our needs. My in-laws have owned an '02 Touring for about 6 years now and are very pleased as well.

Congrats!

You'll find a lot of the members here with 1st gen MDX's have racked up double the the mileage you have and are still enjoying their SUV.
