2014 Acura MDX AWD Long-Term Road Test
The 2014 Acura MDX has impressive headlights, but how much do they cost to replace

Do those tests on light longevity take into account the continual bouncing of the car, speed bumps, minor bumper collisions, bumps into parking space curbs, etc.? The bulbs should be replacable individually if you ask me.
I'v
Also, regarding the burning-out time - the way that those numbers are supplied is more or less an average time to burn out. So sure, it may take 27 years for the average '14 MDX headlight to burn out, but you can expect *one* of them to burn out sooner. And replacing two of those is not something I'd want to do. Also, out of 1000 buyers of this, some poor guy's headlight is only gonna last till the 4 year warranty runs out.
I have high hopes of the new TLX... but when I heard that only the 'small' engine is mated to the dual clutch tranny, I shook my head. Would like to see the reviews though.
What I don't understand is how Ron can mention leasing a car to avoid these kind of down the road costs when he made excuses for the Tesla Model S after the battery and two motors were changed in under 20K miles.
After just 12 years?
