The number of repairs are probably my key factor in selecting a vehicle.
The next would be fuel economy.
I'm not into hybrid yet because I think they have a long way to go before a standard is accepted and the cost of repairs are too high and the space...

  2 responses   2004 Acura MDX vs. 2004 Honda Pilot
Member6566

My number one question is, based on your experience with an Acura MDX and a Honda Pliot, does the Acura really cost a lot more for maintenance than the Honda? The Finance company I'm working with tries to deter people from buying "luxury" vehicles because they do cost more to...

Good engine that won't crap shoot on me. If used I dont want it to be more than 6 or 7 years old with around 70000 or less miles. Asian cars are usually better in my opinion. I dont like to import parts if anything goes wrong. It has...

I currently drive a 94 BMW 525, which I've owned since 2002. 265k on the odo, maintenance hasn't been too bad, but it is time to replace it.

Just totaled a 2000 Lexus ES300 that I liked very much. Other cars I have also enjoyed were a 1991 Accord, 1986 Acura Legend, 2000 Toyota Avalon.

I am looking for a quality vehicle with good reliability. Comfort and handling are important, brand less so. The ES300 fit the...

Member6146

I'm looking at 7 passenger SUVs. I love everything about the Honda Pilot, except for all the negative reviews of the VCM. I understand it's worse in cold, I live in Colorado. Also hear it gets worse with age, I'd like to keep it 10 years. So is VCM bad...

I have an '04 Saab 9-5 Aero (my second), and I am over the nagging electrical issues and parts unavailability. I feel like I am one major problem away from having a worthless car! My next car doesn't need to be as quick, and I would love a plusher ride....

I need to shrink my Lexus LS430...by about a foot in length and about 3 to 6 inches on the width. I love everything about the car, except that it doesn't fit into the garage of my new home. It's an old house and parking outside isn't an option. Looking...

As much as I love it, I have decided to sell/trade my 2012 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring. When I bought it, I had just taken custody of my newborn nephew and 4-year niece. I needed something larger and safer than my Mazda3 and I got a great deal on the...

We will be getting 2 Exchange students for a whole year. Our sedan won't cut it and I hate minivans! The Highlander seemed to address everything but it fell a little short on cargo space. The pilot doesn't have the safety features or the whistles and bells. I actually have...

The car must have a 5 star NHTSA rating in each test, be reliable in the long term, and handle well/ be fun to drive. Straight-line speed is not incredibly important, as long as the car is not slow. The car cannot be a subcompact, crossover, van, SUV, or pickup....

I'm really torn over the Fusion or Honda hybrid, I'm spending a lot of time on the road for work and want good fuel economy and though it appears that Honda's MPG is slightly higher then Fords, based on reviews, the Fusion is quieter and more fun to drive, which...
