new MDX day!

Got my 2016 Advanced today. Loving it so far!

Hard to say goodbye to the ILX, but after just one day behind the wheel of the MDX, I'm missing it less.

Well, its for the wife, so nothing major, but we got the all weather mats, trunk mat, crossbars, and then I'm dropping it back off to get the fog lights, side steps and rear bumper protector. Other than that, not sure what we would want to do.

Thanks for the compliments, it's a great looking car, and driving it is a pleasure so far!

Nice! We also just signed on a '16 Advance AWD, picking it up tomorrow. Graphite/black. The blue was our second choice, but we really wanted the black interior and the only blue one in town had the gray interior.

I'm going to get some all-weather mats (not sure if Acura or third party), running boards, and I'd like to do the fogs but am looking for a DIY.

Yeah graphite luster is my favorite I think, and I've always wanted black interiors as well.

The acura all weather mats are great. I don't know about any third party ones. You can buy the factory fog lights and do them yourself. I am kicking myself for not thinking of doing that, but time is money, and I'm willing to pay to not have to do it myself. I just like the challenge. I might do a hitch down the road at some point myself.

Just dropped the MDX off for the rest of the stuff. Hopefully I get it back today or I'll be on the train tonight!

Since I already parachuted into your thread and don't feel the need to make my own thread, here's ours, just picked it up an hour ago (and our old Edge in the background):





Will be the wife's daily driver, but I'll drive it on road trips.

WOW, I am loving this color very much. I bet it just pops with a nice coat of wax!

Congratulations to yourself and the OP on the new purchases!

Congratulations to both new MDX owners!!!

Beautiful color there!!!

Hate to say it, but that Edge doesn't looks so bad either...

Went to Yosemite this weekend. MDX was great. Lane Keep Assist was awesome and Adaptive Cruise was great as well, although it's a little jerkier than I would like with applying gas and brake. The new vehicle made the drive a pleasure!

Washed and waxed as soon as we got back!

lol I have no idea. had 140 when I bought it, I put on another 20 in the next 2 days, my wife had it tooling around for 2 more, then we drove to yosemite and back... I'd guess about 550 or so?

Loving it so far!
