Aaaah, nothing like the new car smell.

 

Good Luck with the car.

What did you do with the Indian?

 

Beautiful car, Carmen.

Does it only come with automatic transmission? How is the mileage?

 

You mean my Chief Wahoo? It's in the garage. I'll post a pic just for you.

 

Auto only as far as I know Dennis. Mileage is rated at 21/28. Not bad, not great. Only knock on this car is weak pickup. Obviously more noticeable after exclusively driving the S for a year. I have had to re-learn how to drive. I can't overtake cars anytime, anywhere like I can with the S.

 

My wife has one and loves it, nice color combo. Keep an eye on seat wear. The seats and armrests of her 2008 are coming apart. Honda won't do anything about it because it has over 24,000 miles.
Good luck and congrats

 

Very similar to the RDX, which I have found to be extremely utilitarian.

 

Don't you just love how they drill those suckers right into the front bumper? When we moved to PA from MD I stripped the front plate holder off of the S2K and the Civic. Thanks to the S2Ks front plate holder bolt holes I could cover it up easily. The civic on the other hand looks like it took a shot from a BB Gun directly to the front of the bumper.

When I picked up an MDX from NY I assumed Acura meant better engineering and that there would be a bolt hole just like on my S2K.

WRONG!

Another hole drilled right into the bumper to attach the plate. Both the Civic and the MDX had a lower clip that was affixed to the grill but the upper bolt was screwed right into the bumper.

 

Yes, same exact setup as you described. STUPID! 2 ugly holes, plus they used some kind of tape or adhesive over the holes before they drilled that I can't seem to get off.
