I am in the market for a new SUV...This is my list

So I am in the market for a new suv...I just went to the acura dealership and checked out the MDX 2010 tech package....This suv is awesome...My first choice...Today went and looked at the Lincoln MKX and the Ford edge sport...both are very nice and had 22's on them...great ride. I also want to look at the Buick enclave and the lexus RX350. Anyone have any of these Suv's and can give me your input?

Hummer H3...5cyl...

Big but not TOO big...good gas mileage...

Should be some good deals on them..

LOVE mine!

Cool suv..I test drove the h3 a couple of years ago and I liked it...Will go check it out again.

I own the Acura MDX 2008 model with tech package. Absolutely love the vehicle. Handles like a sports car and has 300 hp that is fun to drive.

Regular service is a breeze. NO problems and no complaints on my end. Good luck on your decision.

Thank you...That is what I wanted to hear...I truly love this suv and is my first pick. I am going to schedule a test drive this weekend coming up. how does it handle in the snow?

We rarely have snow but last year we had both snow and ice. On ice, no car performs well but on the snow I had no problems....granted it was only 4-5 inches. The SH-AWD feature on this vehicle is incredible (basically an allwheel drive system that is full time). It automatically controls and transfers varying amounts of engine torque to all wheels independently according to the driving conditions.

Thank you...I heard a lot about that SH-AWD...cant wait to give it a test run...Thank you for your input..

You are welcome! I think you'll love the MDX!

I also own a 08 MDX with the tech package (navigation, dvd...etc.). It is my 2nd one (1st was a 2003) and they are awesome. I put it up there with my Mercedes, the finishing is awesome!

Runs rings around and can go everywhere short of a Mercede Unimog. I've been on some incredible off road trails in my '93 LWB.

There are times I regret selling off the old classic but the new 2002 model I drive most days is great on road and off.

Models such as the 4.6HSE are the newer versions and are just bullet proof. Repairs a bit steep but you get what you pay for. An model between 97-2005 are good buys. the 2003 model has the current body style and until 2005 they they had a BMW powerplant. The 2001/2002 versions have the 4.6 Liter motor

Great pic...Thanks Koi...The motor is sealed correct?

I have the 2000 Nissan Xterra.. It goes just about anywhere. 10 years old in March looks and runs like new. I was looking for a vehicle that emphasized the Utility in SUV and not a luxury vehicle. All in what you're looking for.

Yes the motor is sealed. You can also lift the truck from inside by 6 inches. There is a sports mode for hills and the truck lowers itself at highway speeds

Hey Jack...think....KIA SPORTAGE!
