Edit: It’s grey/silver. Silly me.
Hi, I’m hoping reddit can help my sister…
Her car was stolen from River & Ferry street on Sunday evening. It’s been reported to the police but maybe we’ll get lucky if one of you see it.
It has a SCSU sticker in the window and the back windows are tinted. No dents or scratches on the body of the car, except the rims. If the license plate has not yet been switched, it’ll be ‘BE15003’.
Call the non emergency line to report any sitings.
Even if you don’t see it, please send good vibes. This is her first car, thanks!
Want to buy the 2022 Acura MdX but all dealers in surrounding area are basically selling at MSRP. Wondering i should wait a few months/a year or just pull the trigger and buy it since this chip shortage might be here to stay.
Wondering if anyone else is seeing prices below msrp? I am in Northern Virginia for reference.
I have a 2005 Acura MDX as my backup car, at least drive it for 30 mins per week. The battery has died 3 times now, and its a pain cause I'm not able to jump it with my other car. My belief is something is slowly draining it, not sure what is doing it but I do have an FM to Bluetooth transmitter in my cigarette lighter at all times, but its turns off with the car.
I've heard of trickle chargers or Battery Tenders, what is the best option for me? The car sits at the bottom of an underground parking garage, so outlets aren't super accessible.
Thank you for the help!
Drive: -Lexus, as expected, was a smooth drive. -Acura felt tough, rugged, a bit heavy -We, as a family of 4 don’t go on adventurous drives.
Interior: -Lexus seems to have kept the same interior for a while now. The dashboard monitor had touchpad. Moonroof opens half way. -Acura has similar interior but no-touch dashboard monitor (you navigate on touchpad. Imagine having to change direction quickly while driving. Would you be able to do that over the touchpad? I think it’s risky). The moonroof in Acura opens all the way. Gives a full panoramic view. This was amazing.
Space/capacity:
- Lexus 350RXL has a third row. I thought that space was very tight. But it only comes with the L.
- Acura comes with the third row. The middle seat of the second row can be fully removed. More room for sure.
- We may have grandparents visiting and staying with us for a long time, but this is quite uncertain.
Gas
- Lexus can use regular gas
- Acura needs premium gas and also probably more frequently.
Adding features to both cars hikes up the price a lot and inventory is also a huge issue. We have to buy a car now and waiting is not an option.
My husband is leaning towards Acura. He thinks he shouldn’t compromise on the interior after paying so much. To me feel of the drive is also important. We will both use the car equally.
Thanks!
I've leased Audi and Volvos and really bargained on the deal with pre-incentive discounts at least ~8% but have certainly gone higher...this was obviously pre-shortage. Right before covid I was able to get a XC60 T6 11 percent off plus incentives so not a bad deal IMO.
From what I've gathered looking at Edmunds etc I won't get close to this on either a GX or MDX. I've considered an X5 and Q7 but I cant justify the already high for what you get cost of the X5 at MSRP. Is there a better region for either of these cars (GX/ MDX)? My local dealer says the GX's they have advertised are en route and/or sold.
I live in the Midwest, however I travel to the easter seaboard 1-2 times per month, and even the mountain west and/or Texas once a month- so I'm open to shopping various dealers and repositioning the car home.
Ideally would like all three across but I understand if it can’t work. My Acura is a 2004 so anything I Google shows car seats from that time frame, and obviously those won’t work. I could put one twin in the third row and click them in from the trunk, then second twin and toddler in the second row behind passenger and driver. I think for my sanity I need the twins in bucket seats so I can click them into the stroller for outings. (Lol let’s be honest though, I won’t be going anywhere with 3 under 3😅) I don’t want the toddler in the third row because I don’t want to have to climb into the trunk to buckle her in, I think it would be easier to just click the infant into the base. Toddler currently has a maxi cosi pria 85 but if we need a different seat, so be it.
Have had the car for about a year now. It is the 2014 Acura MDX with Tech Package but no remote starter. (Key is the standard one)
There has been multiple situations where I have either clicked the lock button too many times or held it down and the cars engine starts running as if it was remote started then the second I open the door it shuts off. When I try to replicate this I can not get it to work every time. Randomly happens.
My question is did the 14 MDX come from factory with remote starter and I just don’t know the button combo or is there an issue that’s causing the car to turn on. I’m worried one day it’s going to turn on and be running the whole night
We just purchased this vehicle a week ago. Love everything about it but we have noticed when driving if you just slightly apply or even just tap the gas pedal it will make an annoying faint whistle. Almost like the sound a plane makes sitting in idle but obviously way less. This is the most irritating when keeping the pedal applied just enough to maintain speed on highway.
If it is an expected sound I can live with it but worried something is faulty. Anyone else experiencing this?
