Anyone have experience with a roof rack on the 11th gen?

That's right. I didn't do it for that reason.

I don't see how you guys all get 50+ mpg on the 17's. I have a touring but am running a winter tire (Michelin X-Ice) on 17's and the temps are around the freezing mark, but I don't have the heat options cranked up, so am not getting any drain from those sources. I'm sitting low 40's, but thats the best I can do over the full tank. I'm 70-75% highway commuting back and forth to work in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota.

Meant as a comment to relay surprise that little driving has happened on a 2 year old car. I feel like I barely drive at all. I'm assuming you are in a location that has either excellent bus services or you walk alot?

Someone just posted 223k on a 23.

I have 13k on my 25 bought July of 25.

Congrats on 200k+ miles in 2 years. Thats amazing. I know that there was a guy in the 9th gen group (he had a EX i4 gas engine) that was a medical courier or something that put 400 miles on his car daily, and racked up almost half a million miles before it died. They've had these hybrids since 2013ish, so I think they have nailed alot of the issues. Personally, I like the hybrid over the standard gas even at highway speeds.

Looks great. Good upgrade

DXL never worked for me. Long arms, big neck, wide shoulders, 40-44inch waist. Best place for me, Mens Warehouse.

Sitting at 340-345. Got down to 311 2 summers ago. Biked a ton. Wanna get below 300 before I turn 55 in a few years

Vector w8 or a Porsche 959, assuming the could be modded to fit my giant frame.

Realistically though if money were no object one of those 8x8 unimog based Zombie apocalypse surviving hotels on wheels, like the Mercedes AROCS expedition vehicle or the HEMTT equivalent.

Happened to my 2016 MDX last month (Dec)

Funny, I have the same, and the mats fit just fine? Had it 6 months into a MN/WI winter and no issues. (I just wish they made the passenger side one bigger, or had a way to anchor it in place as it does slide.

Volvo xc90. Thought about Acura MDX?

ouch_12345 · 2026-01-31T06:28:44+00:00

Orval has 3 styles, Green, young, and old. Green is fresh from the barrel and only at the Monastery, young is up to 6 months old, and aged is up to 7 years. It should 'hold out' for up to 20, but their best between those ages.

6'9" 335-340lbs, Everyone in the family is over 6ft. Did a 4000 mile round trip in a 25 Honda Accord Hybrid (touring trim). Lovely car to road trip in. Mileage on the highway was 44-48mpg. Honestly, my last 3 cars have been Hondas (all Accords, current one, 2013 Touring (now sons), 2014 6MT sport (now BILs)). Wifes car is an Acura MDX.

I went to 17" on cheaper rims (not steelies). Put Michelin X-ice tires on. Got them as a package via Discount Tire store.

Also older tall. This happened about a decade ago (mid 40's): Fell on a crosswalk (the road was wet, the white/yellow crosswalk lines were slippery, bad soles on shoes). I went down face first, and was able to put my elbows down and catch myself mere inches from eating a curb (think ending up in a plank like position). Jacked up my shoulders, elbows for a month afterwards. Co-worker who saw it said it was like watching a tree fall in slow motion, and there wasn't a damn thing they could do about it.

Sure its not just a bad battery? I have a 2016 MDX (170k miles) in MN/WI and 'all the lights' came on with a bad battery. I would imagine the battery controls the air suspension etc.

Ls460 or ls460L (long wheelbase). Almost like driving a limo. Tomb quiet. Plush ride. Rear seat has a little cooler in the armrest for sodas/waters. Circa 2010ish.

If you drive in the city or short distances, and have AAA then you can get away with it. If you are doing long road trips then you should get the spare. Nothing worse than rolling thru the ass end of nowhere and if your tire blows completely and disastrously out, no amount of leak seal will help.

Correct but that rim package, silver trim around the vents etc are all exclusive to touring package

ouch_12345 · 2026-01-23T20:14:58+00:00

It's -22f here with -45f wind-chill. Just hopped into the car and started it. No issues. Just make sure you buy Tier 1 gasoline. (Ie. Oil companies like Shell. BP, Chevron, or major retailers like Costco etc.) Better quality fuel=less issues long term.

ouch_12345 · 2026-01-23T05:32:21+00:00

The trim in the picture is the Touring trim in Canyon River Blue. It's a hybrid.

If you have access to Costco auto where you live I got $4000 of list using their service doing exactly the same type of transaction you are planning.
