Best Dealership Experience Ever

I recently went to Apple Automotive in Wallingford and was remarkably delighted with the knowledge and red carpet service that I received from the sales associate and managers. The dealer had an abundance of varied vehicles to choose from within my budget that exceeded my family?s needs. I would endorse this dealer to anyone who is in the market for a car! Thank you Apple? the Thompson family applaud your standards!

Very versatile

Bought cpo, with 50k miles. Now have 152k miles. I t has been great for town driving, loaded with 4 adults with luggage, camping trip to beach, etc. However, at 149k miles, the transmission failed, along with one of the 2 catalytic converters. Cost to repair - $4800. Still a great car, hope to go over 200k miles.

Happy in my MDX

I purchased my 2004 MDX in 2006. Yes, it was pre-owned. The style is what caught my eye. Once I drove it, I was hooked. It drives great. I have 3 car seats and they all fit great. I have the room of a big SUV but the handling of a car. I have driven highway 95 from Maine to Florida in my MDX and have had no complaints. Handles the snow like a snowmobile. My only complaint is the premium gas, but that what happens when you buy a premium SUV.

Luxury in a SUV

Great value for the money, very comfortable ride, great handling, and all the controls right at your fingertips. Gas mileage not great with an ave. of about 17 mpg. It has 140,000 miles but feels/drives brand new. Took it twice now on a long trip and felt much better after drving 7 hours. I'm looking forward to driving it in the snow.

Spectacular car

My family was driving down the road at 35 mph and were T boned by someone going 30 plus mph from the passenger side. They walked away, and I feel very fortunate that they were in an MDX. We bought another MDX to replace the totaled MDX. The Acura MDX drives like a car, has the room of a large SUV, goes in the snow like a snowcat and is as safe as an automobile can be. Buy 04-06 you will not be sorry.
