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.

Thanks to Chris and the guys at Carbroker.com.au we took delivery of a top of the range model for the same price as a dealer had quoted for the base model. No haggling, no hassles, no hesitation in recommending this service.

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.

Don't know how you achieve your prices but it certainly makes a difference, avoids the hassle of dealing with salesmen and has been excellent value for money. Will definitely recommend your services to family and friends.

Being a single woman, the thing I appreciated most was not being ripped off by sleazy car salesmen. I actually paid much less than a guy working in my office who bought (almost) the same car!

Delivering what you promise is the foundation of good business. I am sure that's why you sell so many cars for people like myself. Keep up the good work!

Just a note to say a HUGE THANK-YOU for your services. You were very prompt in replying, and saved us $3000 on the purchase of our new car (almost 10% on the total cost of the car). With a young family, that's a huge saving for us. Thank-you again.

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!

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?
K.S., Brisbane
Negotiating a deal with a professional car salesman is tough and time-consuming, especially if you don't have a lot of local experience. Having someone act on your behalf creates an advantage that can't be ignored, and I have to say the $4,900 saving that I achieved off a $43,300 vehicle via Carbroker.com.au is definitely worth the minimal cost of registering an interest at the Carbroker.com.au web site. Thanks to Chris Wilson for this much-appreciated service.
C.P., Sydney
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.
