2004 Acura Mdx Touring ~ Seven Seater ~ Dvd ~ Tow Towing ~ Well Maintained ~ Ca on 2040-cars
San Luis Obispo, California, United States
We LOVE this truck, but just bought a younger one. We drive 100 freeway miles daily. We purchased this car in 2008 with around 83k, so we've driven more than half of its miles. Never once an issue beyond maintenance, in keeping with the Honda reputation.
As SUV's go, the MDX is the safest, most fuel efficient 7-seater of its time. Acura only made this Burnished Bronze Metallic (doesn't look like bronze -- we call it rootbeer brown) in 2004. Hands down the best looking and rarest color combo. The factory towing package was a must for us because we had hopes of buying a little teardrop trailer, which we never did!! We only used the hitch for our bike rack. The good news, then, is that we never used this as a tow vehicle. Great truck, we are all sad to part with her. Exterior: no issues. Typical road nicks, door dings, and bumper scratches for this age. Paint is glossy. Interior: no major issues. Front passenger seat has a tear in the perforated leather; the rest of the leather interior is in great shape; the carpet is perfect with the exception of one spot in the very back of the cargo area that looks like somebody set down a bad battery. See photos. Mechanical: no issues. In the last year, we have purchased new: tires battery -- put in the top of the line In the last few months, we have done: rear shocks brakes timing belt Engineer/car guy in the house -- MDX has been extremely well kept with regular oil changes, etc. Located in San Luis Obispo, which is halfway between SF and LA along the coast, and on Highways 1 and 101. |

Honda planning sub-NSX S2000 successor
Tue, 13 May 2014Nine years separated the arrival of the original Acura NSX and the Honda S2000. By that time, the NSX was closer to the end of its fifteen-year production cycle than it was to its beginning. The latest word has it that not only is Honda planning a successor to the S2000, but it's not about to wait that long after the new NSX arrives before it's rolled out.
While the S2000 was a front-mid-engined roadster, its successor will, according to the latest from Auto Express (which we are taking with a grain of salt), be a mid-engined coupe - closer, in other words, to the NSX than the S2000. Power would come from a more potent version of the 2.0-liter turbo four developed for the upcoming new Civic Type R, possibly as part of a hybrid system derived from Honda's upcoming Formula One powertain to develop over 400 horsepower.
Whether the new sports car would revive the S2000 nameplate, and whether it would wear the Honda or Acura badge in the United States, remain to be seen. As does its potential production site: while the previous S2000 was built at the same Takanezawa plant in Tochigi as the original NSX, the new NSX will be built at the new Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. The new S660 roadster, meanwhile, is set to be assembled at the same Yachiyo plant in Yokkaichi as the original Honda Beat.
Acura preps ILX for endurance racing challenge
Thu, 01 Nov 2012Acura has used the occasion of this year's SEMA show to unveil a 2013 ILX that is remarkably different from the road-going car that we are familiar with. A far distance from the rather mildly performing street car, this ILX Endurance Racer is actually prepped to race at the grueling 25 Hours of Thunderhill in Willows, California.
The ILX racers (Team Honda Research has prepped two of them for the race) have actually each been constructed using two donor ILX sedans: one body-in-white chassis and one full production-spec car that donates powertrain, interior and electronic components. Overall, increasing the performance of the car was done mostly through extensive weight reduction rather than bumps in power. No figures have been given for the output of the ILX's K24Z7 engine, though we are told that a custom intake and exhaust have been fitted, as well as a racing flywheel.
A prominent LED lighting system dominates the front fascia of the ILX, along with a huge front splitter, while a massive wing speaks to the intentions of the car.
NHTSA gives okay for three automakers to skirt tire-related recalls
Thu, 25 Jul 2013BMW, Honda, and Mercedes-Benz are all going to avoid small recalls, after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued petitions for "findings of inconsequential noncompliance" to the three manufacturers, according to Tire Business. Basically, the petitions allow the brands to avoid recalls for some very, very minor issues.
BMW had tire placards on 364 X6 M CUVs that stated the car could only handle four passengers, when in reality it had room for three in the back. Actual plausibility of fitting three real humans in the slope-roofed Bimmer aside, the Munich-based manufacturer argued it was inconsequential, as the placards were correct regardless of the number of passengers.
Honda's case focused on 212 2011 and 2012 Acura TSX sedans equipped with 18-inch wheels. The TPMS systems on these cars were set for 17-inch wheels, rather than the larger hoops, but even with the lower settings, the tires maintain adequate load capacity.
