HONDA MDX review in detail:
Fresh styling, more power, and new features highlight the 2007 redesign of Honda's premium midsize SUV. The MDX is not really intended to do anything other than run on sealed and unsealed roads, so is very much a soft-roader.Power is supplied by a twin-cam V6 engine displacing 3.5 litres. It may not have quite enough grunt for some owners but is beautifully smooth in a very Honda manner.
The automatic transmission is an intelligent five-speed unit but doesn't have a tiptronic function which comes as a bit of a surprise.
Drive is normally only to the front wheels, with the rears being brought in automatically when the computer senses the fronts are starting to slip. This happens quickly and momentum is seldom significantly interrupted.
Being designed for the American market, it's slightly soft in its on-road characteristics. However, if you don't hurry it along you will feel happy enough with its performance.
The 2007 Honda MDX handles with surprising nimbleness. Equipped with the Sport package, the MDX's two-mode dampers soak up the bumps when necessary and firm up when the pace quickens. Overall, the MDX demonstrates a quickness and dexterity that makes it every bit as confidence-inspiring as high-performance rivals like the Porsche Cayenne and BMW X5.
The cabin is wide, roomy and comfortable so is designed to take large people. Moderate levels of tire hum and highway wind rush for an SUV. The engine is smooth, with a rich-sounding growl during acceleration.
There are three rows of seats - the centre row has a 60/40 split and can carry three adults with decent legroom, though headroom may be marginal for some.
There is precious little space behind 3rd-row seat, but its split bench conveniently folds forward from rear of vehicle. With all seats folded, the cargo floor is nearly flat.
With big fish like the BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne and Volvo XC90, Honda's MDX swims in an extremely competitive pond. But the ute's makeover has been a complete success. The 2007 Honda MDX surpasses its rivals on the strength of its performance and wealth of safety and luxury features.

Testimonials
This is the very first time that I have ever bought anything via the internet, or ever done any business over this means, and so I want to specially thank you for honouring my trust. Yet you also did much more than that, you got me a far bigger saving, (over twice that which I imagined possible), with a good and reputable dealer, delivered at our nominated timing, and you displayed great patience with myself through the process. This is my wife's very first new car and she is absolutely delighted with it. So much so, that she has not even allowed me to have a drive of it yet. And so I guess we have all been winners, haven't we? And what could be better than that?

Fast replies, great service and most importantly, extraordinary prices. Anyone buying a new car not using this service is not fair dinkum about getting the best price and probably paying too much. The service saved me thousands. Will definitely be using it again when next buying a new car and have been telling all my friends about it. Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much for an excellent service. I will certainly recommend you to all and any prospective car-buyers I come across in the future.

We saved around $1500 which was absolutely fantastic given that it resulted from only one web enquiry and five minutes of our time! Thankyou so much. And, yes, we will tell others of your service.

I’d just like to comment on how smooth it was to purchase my car using your service. The finance broker you put me on to helped the hip pocket as much as the price you were able to secure for me. Thank you so much for making a major purchase easy, smooth and without buyer’s remorse. I will be looking you up when it comes time to replace our other car and I will continue to recommend you to all my family and friends

Thankyou very much Carbroker.com.au for helping us to buy our new car. We are very happy with the process of buying a car through Carbroker.com.au. We usually have big arguments over haggling so it was a great relief to get CarBroker to do all the hard work to relieve the stress on us and our marriage. And we still got a great price!

Thank you for the service. The advice was good and the price reasonable. The dealer came to me at work both to value the trade in and to deliver the new car.

Thank you again. I could not have asked for better service. Having been faced with unhelpful dealers it was just so easy to place a Internet request on Thursday and to be in a new car Monday afternoon, it was more than I could have asked for. I would definitely recommend the services that you provide, without hesitation.

WOW FACTOR!! For the sevice provided, the lovely people that are always a pleasure to deal with and the easy delivery of the new car that I requested - I am an extremely happy customer. I was lucky to stumble across the Carbroker.com.au website and have told friends and family that there is no better way to buy. Chris - thanks for doing a great deal for me in the purchase of the Toyota - saved me thousands of $$$ and found me a beautiful new car. Fantastic website & a lovely person to do business with. Cheers!!

A short note to say thanks for the professional and profitable service that you've just delivered to me. Getting the best price from the city and then translating to a country dealer in a small town made it a lot easier. You'd be surprised how many times we bump into each other, and taking the local personality out of the negotiation was much appreciated by both the dealer and myself.
