The Houston Acura dealer on the way to my job had the 2008 Acura MDX on display for the first time one day as I drove to work, and I had to pull over to look at it. I had been researching cars for a month by then, but a Houston Acura just hadn’t even occurred to me, I guess because you don’t hear about the Houston Acura make all of the time like you do Ford and Toyota and their like.

I’ve had it for a couple of months now, and I am very pleased. It sits seven people, which is good because I coach a soccer team. It handles well and has a powerful engine, which also suits me when I’m just driving alone.
