I had to change the battery, starter, spark plugs and gasket valve(from an oil leak) alternator and ignition switch. Right now it currently has an engine check light on and brake lamp. My 1994 Acura Integra was more reliable than this pile of junk. So yeah, my honda is proof that there are exceptions to the rule. Needless to say. I will be selling it off and looking to get a SUV.

      My 2001 RAV4 with 233,000 miles is starting to have trans problems... :( It would shift from first to second, back to first, then second, third, etc. Stopped driving it the same day. My retired Toyota mechanic switched out the transmission control computer because the trans was still good. He ran it for 30miles and had no issues. About 2 days later, it started again, but not every day. It's been a week now and she is having problems going from 2nd to 3rd, but it doesn't do it every day. I'm thinking I should go for a 2016 used RAV. They are all coming off lease now with less than 35,000 miles on them and $10,000 less than new.

      I’d be careful. I’ve owned both the MDX and the RX and my MDX has had no trouble at all and my wife’s RX has had nothing but trouble. I’ve had to fix everything from the power steering box to rebuilding the engine. That RX is a total disaster. While more than ten years with the MDX and not a single repair. Just standard maintenance. From my experience the Acura is just a better vehicle. I won’t buy anything else. My personal experience has shown the Acura MDX to our perform the RX. The performance is better and the reliability is much better. Not even close. I’d never buy another RX after every I’ve had to deal with.

    • @yomomma4270

      The RDX is an Acura (the smaller sibling to the MDX). Trust me, I will not buy anything else besides Honda. My last two cars were Hondas, and they both made it over 200,000 miles without any issues. The (Lexus) RX is not my cup of tea.

    I have a 2012 Honda CR-V and couldn't agree more. VERY reliable, solid vehicle. Mine has 64K and I change the oil and put gas in it, the body and interior is holding up well, looks good, gas mileage is 24 mph a mix of hwy and city driving. No trouble, original brakes, I like it better than my former RAV4. They aren't real exciting cars, but keeping $ in my purse is exciting. In fact I was thinking of selling it and getting a BMW X3 but after watching this, I'll keep my CRV.

Took it to the shop and they said the torque converter is going out and it cost over $4,000 to reair. Apparently this is a common issue on the Rav4, just usually doesn't happen on one with this low of mileage. We are devastated.

My wife has a 2012 RX350 and when she drives my car that has double the miles of her Lexus, she says it drives so smoothly. they are truly well built cars - not perfect, but close.
