    Our family car is a 2005 Acura MDX. Best snow car I’ve ever driven, seats 7. Got it in 2013 with 68k miles. Now has 152k, only work I’ve had to do to it is routine maintenance. That did include the timing belt replacement and I wish every motor was engineered like that one.

    We got it because of the “seats 7”, known good safety and AWD performance, and low mileage. The price was right and it remains one of my favorite purchases yet. It’s not very efficient but it’s powerful as hell which is really nice in the Colorado mountains.

      Seems like I remember fitting a queen size mattress flat across in the back of mine… May be misremembering, but it was a great vehicle overall. Until the transmission choked up on the freeway and I couldn’t trust it not suddenly breaking down on me.
