First, I want to thank everyone here for sharing all their experiences, both good and bad, with their MDX.
After looking for a SUV since seeing the Toyota Highlander at the Houston car show in March 2001, we've considered the Volvo Cross Country, Audi TT (ok, different form and function), RX300, and many others. In the end, we ordered a 2002 SS Premium at the end of August and got it a week before Thanksgiving. In fact, we got it 1 week before our quoted build date.
Paid MSRP with no forced options. Free touch up paint, paint sealant (i.e., cheap wax job), 2 years/24K of free maintenance, mud flaps, cargo tray, cargo net, cargo cover (the self rewinding thingee), Acura polo's, MDX key chains, Acura cups, 2 free airline ticket packages (worthless), and most importantly, a matching Silver MDX model. OK, the model is a 2001 model...
My question: How do you all close your rear hatch? We use the handle on the right to lower it. Do you pull it down really fast to gain momentum for it to close and lock completely. Or do you pull it down half way and then push the license plate down to close it? Any other methods???
thanks!
