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
It is a sorely needed service as we have had nothing but stress and grief with the dealers we have approached ourselves.
J.F., Melbourne
This is by far the best money I have EVER spent. An outlay of just a few dollars saved me thousands - even on a limited edition vehicle! In fact, I saved so much I added a few optional accessories and still bought the vehicle at less than the retail price for the car alone (not to mention dealer delivery fees and charges). The savings didn't end there. I saved another bundle with the insurance you recommended (approx 33% less than another quote I already had). The savings here will continue for years to come! Not only will I be recommending your services to everyone I know, I will be using your services again myself. This is the ultimate car purchasing experience! Thank you again for your excellent service and attention to detail.

I haven't met you in person but felt like I knew you for ages. I really appreciate for the great help and assistance right through the process. I got my car yesterday. I Thank you once again for the best customer service. I will call you later. I just can't believe that computer technology and modern technology has really made the process quicker than I ever thought without compromising on service.
W.F., Melbourne
I must say that your service is excellent - using it should be a "no brainer" for anyone buying a car. Gaining access to a sourcing professional with deep domain expertise to assist with a high value purchase for under a $100 is fantastic. Many thanks
I.H., Perth
I am very pleased with the outcome, and I will certainly recommend it to my friends in the future.

...your professionalism and responsiveness is incredible... exceeding my expectations that were already quite high due to the information available, and style and tone of your website.
C.H., Brisbane
Your manner and professionalism on the phone is excellent. It was a real pleasure to deal with you. I wish you the best in the future, and you can rest assured I will be back!

Thanks for your help. Must admit I was very sceptical in dealing 'on line' with an unknown person/company. As a single woman I don't want the hassle of going backwards and forwards, playing one dealer off the other. I used the internet to get a measure of what's reasonable and then it's 'give me your best price' no second chance. Some people can't get their head around that but life's too short. I only want to deal with ethical people. I'm happy that a salesperson makes a profit but it has to be fair for both parties. Thanks and I'll be recommending your site to friends.

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!!

I drove around in my old car most of today and decided that I really had enough of it. Your quoted price of $18,200 is at least $1,000 cheaper than any of the others; I have been to three different dealers and haggled all day long.
