Title says all.

I want to know is there any advantage/modifications/addons/improvements in 3 years?

Found a good deal for a 2009 SH-AWD.

Thanks.

not much...
some color changes (int/ext)
2010 6mt

I think they addressed a couple of mild first year issues in the 2010 (brake rotor rust & key problems)

thats all I know

I guess than only the 2012 would make some difference, 6speed auto would be nice.

Agree the 6AT should be very nice. makes a big difference in the MDX - and the ZDX is a blast with it.

^^ do you have the ELS? Mine sound amazing. Also in 2009 -> they fixed the rusty rotor problem. One of the easiest ways to tell an 09 is look at the rotors.

Would the dealer change the rotors for free? Is it like a recall or a problem witch owners have to deal with?

If yours are rusty, I'd assume they'd change them out.

documented issue.

When the "high end" speakers are made so cheaply that the dealer cost is ~$20 you know you're going to have problems. Both of my front speakers had torn spiders and separation at the triple joint. The sub was blown also, but I did not get to see that - nor the center speaker.

How about 2011 models, did they change the speakers?
I was reading lots of ppl have blown and rattle speackears from 2009 to 2010 models, could not find any complains on 2011 models.
If anyone knows pls let me know. Thanks

I had an 09 AWD Tech and would run the speakers at full volume with no issues. Had the car 17 months and 19K miles.
