Introduction
It is a really nice & expensive Honda - which equals reliable and a value with luxury options. My last SUV was a Mercedes ML although i make more money it is just not worth the hassle for the 3 point star.

there are only 3 or 4 ways to purchase this (or any Acura / Honda) & I like this best of all you know what the bill is going to be and the car (with the exception of the Auto mirror) is fully loaded

This is a real value!
Conclusion
One of the most satisfying auto purchases (of the 15 or 20 to date) of my life. If you can live without the upmarket grills of other companies this is the BEST in class value and matches my old Mercedes in every way but the steering wheel finish & bests it in comfort of knowing i will get to the mountains AND get home again. Thank you
