#1022 of 1249 Premium full-grain leather by mdjay Mar 06, 2007 (11:05 am)
Hi all, we've trying to see if other than being perforated, is there any other difference between leather in the sport package vs. non-sport. We keep seeing that the sport has "premium full-grain" leather. Does non-sport have a different grade leather?   Thanks Replies to this message: varmint (Mar 07, 2007 11:01 am) lucien4 (Mar 07, 2007 1:00 pm)

Replying to: mdjay (Mar 05, 2007 11:31 am) The base model suspension is somewhere between the Sport and Comfort settings on the Sport model. Everyone's opinion will vary, but most reviewers report that it's a fairly good compromise between the two.

Replying to: mdjay (Mar 06, 2007 11:05 am) Yes, they have different grades of leather. Best to stop at a dealer and see for yourself before making a decision on that issue. Replies to this message: lucien4 (Mar 07, 2007 1:00 pm)

Replying to: varmint (Mar 07, 2007 11:01 am) I didn't go for the sport since my concern is that the leather just collects dirt. Also the base suspension is already quite tight so this is not for everyone.   And yes, best to see for yourself and test drive both. Regarding gas consumption. It's normal for this size of SUV. I do get the rated EPA numbers.

Over 5000 miles on my 2007 MDX. Never reset the "B" odo --> 18.5 mpg.

Replying to: varmint (Feb 15, 2007 10:22 am) Was driving our '07 last week after an ice storm. Trying to leave our neighborhood, basically WOULD NOT move due to all the systems involved in trying to prevent wheel spin, etc. Was actually pretty funny to watch.

#1028 of 1249 XM radio renewal by upstatedoc Mar 08, 2007 (10:20 am)
This may help some people save some "green". My complimentary XM subscription ran out last week and I had heard a while ago that there was a promotion called "winback" which you could mention when you go to renew it and you would be charged $77 a year. It is still in effect as I just renewed today. There are other posts which outline the exact procedure to follow so I won't repeat them (search all posts for xm radio promotion). Has anyone found a better deal on xm service?

Replying to: spektre (Mar 08, 2007 8:22 am) Next time turn off the VSA. It really can hinder launching in slick conditions. Just make sure you re-engage after you get moving.   Not a whole lot about snow performance (other than one or two favorable remarks), but here's an article about SH-AWD on a track covered with ice and a few inches of snow for good measure. Props to Chas2 for finding it.   http://www.thestar.com/Wheels/article/187265 Replies to this message: lucien4 (Mar 11, 2007 9:29 am)
#1030 of 1249 Snow / gas by lucien4 Mar 11, 2007 (9:29 am)
Replying to: varmint (Mar 08, 2007 11:00 am) We had only 1" of snow and it performed without problems on that (no slipping, perfect traction). Didn't have a chance to try on tougher conditions but typically you want to have appropiate snow/traction tires in these conditions anyway (regardless of AWD).   Also turning off VSA can help a lot if it keeps blocking the tires and you don't gain any speed. Once you're moving it's safer to turn it on again.   You can see some sample fuel economy on truedelta.com. I do get the EPA numbers (16-17 in town, 21-24mpg on highway).
#1031 of 1249 Re: Pulling [varmint] by tonymdx07 Mar 12, 2007 (7:38 am)
Replying to: varmint (Feb 08, 2007 7:12 am) I own a 2007 MDX with ENT/TECH. Have Michelin tires and have noticed no pulling. Car is a joy to drive! The car that I test drove was a sport model with the 19" tires and I noticed a lot of pulling to the right. Salesman unofficially said that he would not advise getting the 19" tires. Absolutely no pulling what so ever on my MDX with the Michelins. Could be coincidence but also might be, as others have said, the 19" tires.
