Hey Scotty I got a good one for you. I have an '86 audi 5000 quattro wagon. About 2 months ago I started having a problem with it. We narrowed down all the possibilities and figured out I have a fuel issue. Sooooo we replaced the fuel pump, filter, checked relay, had my mechanic check the pressure out of the fuel distributor on each 5 cylinders and it was fine. The thing he told me is that the engine gets fuel when it cranks, but once it catches and tries to run, it starves. I have no idea what is wrong and I am not sure my mechanic does either, and since I live in a secluded place, there is only one european car person around. Do you have any ideas? Thank you!

My wife had a 2010 rdx when we met and she loved it. Never had any issues other than 1 wheel bearing that went bad at 6 years. When we had 3 kids and needed something bigger, we got a used 2014 mdx which has proven to be reliable so far. It has a v6, no turbo, which i prefer but is still GDI. Also got the front wheel drive instead of all wheel drive. The MDX does get good mileage, 20 city and 31 highway (actual mileage not the EPA rated mileage which i believe is 18/26) so it gets way better than rated mileage. Nothing wrong with it so far and its almost 7 years old.

Scotty. Now that I know you like Acuras, what's your thoughts about the Acura RSX? I'd just like to know your opinion on them. I've owned a 06 Acura RSX for about 8 years, I purchased it with only 90, 000 miles and have put 130, 000 extra miles on it (it's at roughly 220, 000 miles now. It's still running strong with only the minor issues like the driver's belt buckle going out and driver's door lock actuator and other minor things like that, that are used frequently. I'd just like to know your opinion on them since you liked this Acura.

Scotty, I know you advise against buying used BMW's. I definitely see why you say that. But I only paid 2, 500 for a 2011 328i xdrive. So I figured I'd take my chances. Just got a part in I was waiting for. Drivers side adaptive headlight control module went out. After I put new one in should i excpet to have to have the new computer coded to match with the other existing headlight that still works? Is this something you have heard of? Car is extremely clean and only needed the headlight and a new windshield to pass inspection

Very nice car. I had a new 2003 CL-S which I gave to the son of a friend when I bought a new Paasport this winter. The 2003 Cl-s was in perfect condition, ran as new. I have reached an age (74) and infirmity which made it very difficult for me to get in and out of the car. Interesting fact: my new Passport with a V-6 3. 5L gets marginally better mileage on regular than this 2007 RDX get with its 2. 3L 4 cyl on premium.

I agree. But. it is one hell of a good looking station wagon! Why can t the Americans make a decent wagon. I have owned two Ford Taurus wagons. I loved them. for the first 120, ooo Kms. But I did not buy them because they were Fords, but rather. because both Honda and Toyota stopped making their Accord/Camry wagons. Thanks for the video, Scotty.

Sorry but this vehicle weighs too much for a 4 cylinder turbo engine. It's been straining for over a decade. As you've said about other vehicles that use a 4 cylinder when they are too heavy, it's not ideal. Certainly not worthy of being a favorite SUV. I'd take a Lexus RX350 over this any day.

My'03 Pilot V6 AWD has been a champ. Bought it with 135k, four years later it's still going strong with 245k. My '15 Buick (Opal made) Verano has been great. Don't take it to a dealership cause they screw up a wiper blade install. My local independent shop has kept it ship shape!
