Nah. Honda's ATs are crap. Pretty much every AT Honda/Acura owner I know have had issues with tranny.

Not I said the fly.....190k no issues with a 300HP 3.7L coupled to it in a 07 MDX. They were terrible back in early 2000's eg at least 15 years ago.

Everything that Pilot said. I thought the interior was totally bland (same for MDX), the vehicle seemed ponderous and heavy, and it was a TVM V6 setup so knew that MPGs were going to suck while loaded/towing. SHAWD is electronically dependent, and you lose that electrical feed at the rear diff and you're boned. Overly complex IMHO.

SHAWD is very reliable for me with 190k now. It works really well and only requires $24 in fluid every 40k or so(computer reminds) and my Subie mechanic charges me $20 labor(20 mins!) to change it while doing an oil change. I have it in a 2007 MDX. AWD never missed a beat and an absolute hoot on gravel roads at speed.

Replace ac relay($10ish) and cross fingers.

My case the original part worked intermittently.

You need an infant car seat not a rear facing. They all work equally well the infant car seats and despite what they state are not more or less safe.

We have three kids(8,6,6 months) and my wife got our 05 LGT 5mt wagon as a mommy mobile brand new with our first 8 months pregnant by herself with no regrets.

I would go to a decent baby store that has all the different strollers and car seats that attach in. Make sure the stroller you pick stows into your trunks(take the smaller trunk/opening). They also let you put the seat in typically to see how it will work. I am not talking a chain. Reviews are good to read but you(couple) really need to test drive the stuff.

That being said we jamb three across in our Legacy GT wagon in a pinch now. We were gifted a Graco snug ride and use it with some sort of $600(nuts!) stroller. I will state the buckles are pretty crappy/hard to use on Graco compared the previous Britax seats we have had.

Congrats and good luck.

OEM turbo(3k OCI dino) with 161k miles since brand new.

Recent issues(150k-present/last year to present)

0) Spark plug coil

1) Valve Cover gasket

2) Dragging front caliper replaced

3) Fuel line leak so line replace under intake

4) Starter, alternator

5) New noise is noise in driveline or wheel bearings, TBD

Before 150k from new, one single issue our throw out bearing failed($400 fix) at 105k. Nothing else.

Spotted a blue LGT wagon with aftermarket wheels and very clean at Newington(NH) Habitat for Humanity.

My wife(driving her LGT 5mt wagon) wanted to park next to it and suprisingly see if a 5mt.

2005 BSM Legacy GT wagon 5mt with 145,000 miles all by us since new:

Major stuff considered repairs:

Rear wheel bearings (warranty)

Alternator

Starter

Spark plug coil (recent) - skipping

Clutch throw out bearing

Front Calipers x 2-both seized

Still rocking the OEM turbo which I attribute to my 3-4k OCI with whatever dino. Motor still does not burn a drop of oil between changes.

We skipped the water pump during timing belt replacement so let you guys know how long OEM one is good for.

I have never spotted you. but the since I am in Salisbury....

You in Salisbury? I am over there all the time now at mother in law's who moved to RT1A to a winterized beach house.

Spotted a darker LGT (08 or 09) sedan with deep tints and red white blue MA plate getting off I495 at @ Haverhill/Plaistow(125) exit following an odd trailer full of bleachers.

I was in an WRX wagon.

T'was me:lol: Didn't see you, I was going to fast;) Didn't want the milk to spoil.

I was in my 04 Subaru WRX wagon with two kids in two, I never exceed 70MPH with them.
