hey,

i picked the 2002 MDX up on friday!!

Great car! i drove it home from LA back to San Diego and it was about 120miles.. the trip computer said i was averaging 27.6miles per gallon. THATS GREAT!!


Got the timing belt and water pump done for $440.. and new bridgestones from discount tires for only $500 because my friend works there...

ill post up pictures when i have enough posts to get off probation.

thanks for all the help from members here that added their input!

Congrats, man!

Whenever I reset the trip computer while driving on the highway, I average about the same MPG. But when it's all city, it goes down to 14.0 MPG! Doesn't bother me though(it's a 4000lb vehicle, afterall!). I'm enjoying my nice smooth ride!

i was maintaining at 73 on cruise control!

the trip computer started at 22.1mpg when i filled her up before i took off...

it went all the way up 27.6mpg.. i dont know how accurate the trip computer is but if that's accurate, this car gets better highway gas mileage than my S2000.. haha


thanks Jsilas..

i love this color.. i wonder why they discontinued it for the "sage" color.. i can't stand sage for some reason..

Looks great! My wife and I are looking at an 06 with 80k, just doing my research & looking over the recent purchases. We considered an 03 with only 31k on it! Havent seen that one in person but need to make it out.

well,

ive been driving this car since ive bought it since my parents been on vacation..its a pretty nice ride.. i like the 04 and up looks because it looks more luxurious.. granted the ride might be the same.. it looks a lot of high class.. too bad i didnt have the money.. haha

good luck on your search!
