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?

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

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

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?

No vibration on my 07 MDX, though I have done limited freeway driving in the 80 mph range so far.

We have an '07 Sport/Ent, love it! The front and rear passengers can access two different entertainment sources (AM/FM/6CD/DVD/XM/Aux) if headphones are used in the rear. With additional headphones (around $70 each) you technically could have five using the rear transmitted signal (one per seat belt location) as the signal is broadcast toward the rear and number of headphone (receivers) has no impact on quality. Front seat occupants can't use the headphones because they're infrared line of sight and the overhead pod sits directly behind the first row on centerline. There is a detachable remote that controls a rear on screen menu, more friendly than controls offered on the front display or trying to decrypt the myriad of chiclet buttons and over used labels. To check the kids volume you while seated up front the best thing to do is put the headphones on backwards (R on L ear) and lean back so it picks up the signal. The DVD player does work with recordable media. I haven't played home movies but certainly use my copyright privilege of using a backup in the vehicle and locking up the original as the younger crowd can be rough on DVD's. I still like having the player slot up front versus it being overhead in row 2. System operation is nearly identical to our '06 Ody Touring so there was no learning curve. Enjoy!

Bordeaux leather is still available on the Canadian site
www.acura.ca
The packages are different too. We just purchased an MDX and pick it up later this week.

Thank you, Davant, for the information. I have a Yukon XL with rear entertainment and it's the same thing - the wireless headphones only work in the second and third rows. But it has jacks for wired phones at the rear of the front console and a separate tuner for the rear so a front seat passenger can listen to something different from the driver. Nice feature but it would have been handier if I could use the wireless phones in the front.
