Enjoying it very much. Not enjoying making Bon Jovi DVD-A's for the wife though.

McGrath is quite aggressive. We always have to go to Chicago to buy cars, we have one Acura dealer in Milwaukee, they run a monopoly....very overpriced IMO.

2009 MDX Sport Entertainment
Billman730 here. I have no clue how to get pictures to post here so just words.
Moil4Gold said it all pretty much as to the "features". I like driving the car and ignore the rear entertainment except to listen to video dvd's of concerts. As I drive alone or with a friend up front the screen stays folded up most of the time. Having the the rear entertainment screwed up the radio for linking to my iPhone with a proper cable. I need to use an old style stereo red/blk jack set. No battery charge etc.
Installed rails and cross members on roof. My '04 had them and I got used to the look.
Installed the wind deflector for the front nose and Sunroof.
Automated Deluxe Drive through Carwash option keeps my car perfectly clean and tires shinny. LOL..
I went for the Simoniz Package on this car. My '04 had it and it made the car look brand new right into 2009. Gives the new car a silky smooth feel and very shinny look. Just a quick wash every day or so and it looks perfect. With no effort from me...

I'm really impressed with McGrath so far. They had a newbie tech put in our all-season mats, and he forgot to put the carpet mats in the car. Our salesman drove the mats (along with a cargo area mat we ordered and a cargo net) out to our house last night so we didn't have to make the 40 mile round trip to Westmont.

Just added another Acura to the family. My wife is now the proud driver of a 2005 Touring with Navi - Sage Brush Pearl. I'll post some pictures in a little while, but it goes without saying that she is very happy with her new ride!

2001 mdx touring
Purchased a 2001 MDX touring off my brother in law's dad with only 38,000 miles on it. Near perfect shape. Have had it for 10 months now and just found this web site. Will get a pic on here soon.

Crystal Black Pearl/Umber interior
Sport running boards, all weather mats and the rest is stock. Converting all non LED bulbs in the interior and adding some tint to the back windows in the near future. Probably a remote start that doesn't make me add another key fob!
Just picked her up the other day and have been reading up on some threads. First mod done today...added LED running board courtesy lights. The pic sucks as it was from my phone but it rained the next day so I have to wash her up and take some with the SLR
