Love our MDX. I think you’d have to purchase a year old to get it down to 45k. Drives well and it’s literally the only car I’ve had NO issues with.

Can the person who bought the MDX with tech package for 37k plus tax tags title offer more detail? Are you allowed to give s salesperson name? Any add-ons or trade-in? cash or financing? Thanks!

Obviously. I don’t care at all. It was $15k under stick. I am totally fine with having the model before a redesign.
Was it an SH-AWD+Technology with MSRP ~ $53k? Best Truecar offers from Pohanta are 40.7K before tax+fees. Great deal you got. Congrats.

Does it makes sense that Honda is so highly recommended and Acura is poorly made? Aren’t they basically the same thing?
The MDX is made at the Honda plant in Marysville OH

OP here. The third row is going to be tiny for any of the options that will fit in my garage. Luckily I only have two kids and we don't carpool very often (and not at all right now.)
As for Acura, my husband drives one and has had zero issues. He loves the car. I would definitely consider an MDX.
We love our 2019 RDX. No issues. We’ve had it for 2.5 years.

The Mazda CX-9 is narrower than many of the other ones. I have a tiny garage and it fits in. It also runs on the less expensive side - pretty sure you could get one for under $45k

I think the dimensions of the Ascent and Palisade are the same (or close). [I had similar requirements so had cars I was interested and the dimensions listed so that I did not forget why I ruled something out.
Why did you like the palisade more?
