Just got the Acura 2007 mdx as my first car, put it off for so long lol. I was very impressed by the thread bizzie2 did upgrading his 2008, although I thought some were overkill, the ones that impressed me and I plan to do before driving it were the internal and external lighting upgrades, lifting the height and widening the tires, upgrading the exterior obviously to 2013, and the media unit upgrade to touch screen with the reverse camera upgrade too.

Already picked up to change trasmission fluid, brake fluid, steering fluid, to check the timing and fan belt and to get a small scanner from scrolling here


Any advice generally by the experts in the house? What I shouldn’t do, what I should, maintenance tips, upgrades that may help me use it better? Any such thing would be appreciated

Do not buy transmission fluid in just about any shop or market.

That transmission hates fake fluids.
If you can't afford the original fluid from certified shops, leave the one in there alone for now.

Don't tamper with the height of the car. You will mess the handling of that car up and it's the handling that is it's key selling point.

While you are on the transmission fluid change, consider changing the differential and the transfer case fluids as well.

They are equally as important.

Whatever you do, do not clean the throttle body if you don't ha e a scanner that can zero the throttle position or angle sensor.

If you need any more tips on the mdx, you can reach out.

Enjoy the ride.

abeg which Suv can one get within 7.5/8m as toks o.. I'm only seeing mdx which might seem like a fuel guzzler

olumzzz:
SUVs are fuel guzzlers. Be ready to buy fuel if it's SUV that you want

olaboyeh:
doesn't mean we can't get a fuel economical suv...

olumzzz:
E no dey.
Unless you're considering crossovers like CRV, Rav4, Sportage or Tucson.
A proper SUV is a fuel guzzler

There are still a few 4 cylinder Suvs though, like some models of highlander and prados.

DaVin122:
Please Sir, 2016 rav 4 ,2015 Venza , 2011 Rx 350? Which should I go for ?

I initially wanted a sedan but bad roads are a threat so I'm opting for an SUV.

quietpluvi:
Hey everyone, please I’d like a bit of help. I’m looking to get my first car and I have no idea which to go with. It’s will be a car for me and my family, no long distance trips but bad road is a problem. I just need something reliable and easy to maintain since I have no knowledge on anything cars and just learnt driving recently. I was considering Toyota Corolla but decided to come here to seek advice.

My budget is 7M

olumzzz:
For bad roads, I would suggest a reliable crossover like 07 to 010 Honda CRV or 06 to 010 Rav4 (both 4 cylinder engines)
