Between Toyota Highlander And Acura MDX Which One Should I Go For by utimate: 8:37am On Sep 12, 2019 |
I want to make a choice between Toyota Highlander (btw 2005-2008) and Acura MDX (2007 -2008) and I need those that have first-hand experience to share their view in order to enable me to make an informed decision. I like the way Acura MDX 2007 upward looks. Both the interior and exterior make sense to me compare to Toyota Highlander of the same year. I don't want to make a decision based on design alone, I want people with first-hand experience to advise me based on: Drive, durability, maintenance, fuel economy and share other personal experience etc. Your advice would be highly appreciated. |

Depending on where you live. If you live in a city where Acura showroom is located where you can easily repair it then go for the MDX. If not take the Highlander. |

Since you asked such question.. Please go for the highlander |

I have mdx 08, very durable, but the part are expensive, the two side mirrors are 40k in oyingbo. Fuel consumption is ok also, I used 3k fuel with AC to and fro from ikota lekki to redemption camp and still remain little. I will prefer mdx than highlander anytime any day. 7 Likes |

abidemidare: I don't believe the fuel part. And I don't believe the durable than Highlander part. Also, the MDX suspension is way harsher than the highlander's more comfier suspensions |

utimate: If you're gonna insist on the MDX, avoid sports package. It uses active variable dampers. These things cost an arm, a leg and a ball. 2 Likes 1 Share |

It all depends. I drive the 08 mdx and used the highlander briefly in Lagos before porting down to the east. Drive: acura. That ride moves. 0-60 in 6.2 seconds. Faster than most sedans Durability: This is touchy. The acura 07-09 has a bullet proof engine as long as you change your timing belt when due and observe the b maintenance fluid schedules (transfer case, gear box, rear axle, engine oil etc). A variant of the highlander has the 2gr engine which is known to fail a bit too often from what I have read here and observed. Probably cos of wrong oils and OCI's. So for this, I'd say they are equal. Offroad: this is naija. If you ever find yourself in the village, you will appreciate the shawd of the mdx. I give the mdx this one. This also improves the driving g dynamics of the mdx Fuel economy: highlander hands down. Most mdx struggle to achieve 13mpg in the city and 17mpg on the highway. Thanks to our shity fuel. The highlander (4 cylinder) will give you the mpg of a sedan in an SUV. Ageing : both age well. I am yet to see a rickety or bad looking highlander or mdx Resale value:highlander. It's got the Toyota badge so that gives it an automatic 500k extra resale value. Parts: both cost roughly the same. None is cheap. The Bumpers for the 2010 mdx costs twice as much as that of the 08 model. So be careful who bashes you. Let it be a Range Rover so he can pay. If you want to out those pesky little cars in your dear mirror whenever they become annoying on the highway, get the mdx. Though you'd need to do this with the car light. If loaded, OYO is your case. 12 Likes |
