My second post here. GREAT SITE. I'll appologize now for the long post.
After looking for over a year at the MDX, other SUVs and several cars, then trying to decide if we should replace our car ('92 Acura Legend) or our SUV ('97 Ford Explorer), we finally decided to become a two Acura family! Ordered the MDX March 16, with estimated delivery Mid May.
The hardest decision was which vehicle to replace. We absolutely love the Legend, and it only has 66k miles on it. But the Explorer is 5 years newer -- which to trade in? But then we looked at expenses -- we've spent more on the Ford in 5 years than we have on the Acura over 10 years! We decided over the next 5 years the Legend would still be cheaper to keep, plus it makes a great second car!
One of my hesitancies about the MDX was the problem of my left foot
. The lack of a dead peddle and lack of length for my left leg really bothered me. I figured that if it was a problem for a short test drive, that I'd go nuts on a long drive. Thanks to the posts I've seen here regarding this problem, I decided that I'd get used to it. Plus we didn't find any vehicle we liked better.
I see that many of your signatures include the specs on your MDX. Here's what I'm getting: 2002 Mesa Beige Metallic, Touring, Navigation, all season floormats, cargo liner, cover and net, tailgate deflector, air deflector, rear spash guards, fender flares, lower trim, side molding, wheel locks, gold inner grille, emblems (on wheels also), moonroof visor, clear bra on mirrors. Can't wait!
As far as the dealer goes, we've really enjoyed working with Gary Preston at Foothills Acura in Boulder, CO. Patient beyond words, never pushy, great to work with!
Now, let me see if I can figure out how to include a pic (from the Acura build your own site).
