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

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.

XM radio renewal by upstatedoc

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?

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.

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).

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.

Perforated leather cooler? by jlingreen
Mar 14, 2007 (3:28 pm)

I'm very interested in the 2007 MDX, but I live in Phoenix and needless to say, leather seats on a 115-degree day are not fun! Are the perforated leather seats on the sport model dramatically cooler (or at least bearable!) on hot summer days in the desert?

Bordeaux Leather by brauch15

A move that interested me on Acura's part was putting bordeaux leather (a shade of red/brown) in the new MDX, but not just making it a color option- they made it on such a low scale, it appeared, Acura didn't even post pictures of bordeaux on their website. Now, after seeing only one MDX with bordeaux leather, they have CANCELLED THE COLOR!!! Check the Acura website if you don't believe me, that being the soure of this information. I am truly stunned by this- does anyone own/are looking to buy a bordeaux leather interior MDX??? Why did they take out the color?

Haven't had my '07 MDX long enough to encounter temps past 60 degrees. Had/have perforated leather in all my acuras, I don't think it makes much difference unless they are "cooled" which acura doesn't offer.

Hood Vibration by robinsradar

I've noticed that when I push my 2007 MDX in the 80 mph plus range (interstate driving), that I'm getting some hood vibration. Have any other owners experienced this problem?
