I own a 2002 Acura MDX Touring SUV which I had purchased

I own a 2002 Acura MDX Touring SUV which I had purchased brand new. It now has 296,000 miles. The only major repair was a transmission overhaul at about 235,000 miles. I gave the car to my son who is only 4 years older than the vehicle. He uses the vehicle for short distance (under 30 miles of driving). It has been rear ended four times and side swept once. No one in the vehicle was injured. It is still giving 18 mpg on 89 octane gas, just like it did when it was new. Never even changed the spark plugs! I change oil (synthetic) every 10,000 miles. Never let me down!

A beauty of a car on the highway

I am the second owner of a 2002 Acura MDX I had the usual situation is when you buy a used car you get new brakes you change the fluids you change the belts you get a tuneup and you change the oil I found this car very reliable I’ve only had a few problems it is definitely a highway car not a city car when you’re on the highway it flies the miles go very quickly it’s beautiful for that in the city. It’s a real dog but I still love it. I’ve had the car now for five years I put about 50,000 miles on it we’re nearing 185,000 miles , I replace the tires only once because of dry rot recently. My catalytic converter and muffler system were stolen in a very well lit middle-class neighborhood in New York City. That was a major expense outside of that gas. As you know, it’s almost $4/ gallon so you have no alternative what to buy , This car is beautiful just takes a person to maintain it and watch out for it. Make sure you get cleaned and polished twice a year or so and do the oil change every 4000 miles.
