Kudos to all the wonderful beings here doling out knowledge. Please what is the difference between the 2007 mdx and the face lift 2010 models. Been looking at both vehicles and there is a significant price disparity between the two vehicles

Kokomo: V6 not fuel friendly that's a 2.5L engine I believe. Not too good for uber |

nurey: Thanks |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by sucessdriven: 12:10pm On May 17, 2021 |
nurey: Thanks boss. In your opinion do you think the upgrades justifies the price difference. There's atleast about ~1.5m difference from the two. |

sucessdriven: 07-09 5speed trans 10 upwards 6 speed Forged aluminum piston in 10 and better compression in engine though same 3.7L Some other things like oil warning light, middle speaker issues etc. Facelift isn't only external some other additions were added I can't know all because I am not ASE certified 4 Likes |

nurey: Thank you sir. I want to go for the later, i guess i'm just just looking for any reason to justify it, so far i've failed miserably, lolz. |

Good day gurus in the house, please what's your say on 2007 volvo XC90 with 3.2l I6 engine. Is it a better engine compare to T5, T6 and V8 engines. Thank you |

GreenWorld: "Better" engine is relative. An engine can be better than others in some categories, and be less effective in other categories. The 2007 XC90 only has 2 engine variants. 3.2l I6, and 4.4l V8. The T5 and T6 engines were eliminated for the XC90 after 2006. There's also the D5 engine for 2007, but that's a diesel engine and wasn't available in North America. The 3.2l I6 is capable for the XC90, puts out 235 bhp and adequate torque, gets the vehicle up and moving reasonably well. The fuel efficiency is also adequate for its weight and is comparable to other models in that category. The 4.4l V8 is the top engine for the 07 XC90. Puts out 311 bhp, impressive torque for its size, and is the engine of choice for the active driver. Naturally the expected worry would be fuel economy in a V8, however the difference in real world fuel economy between the V8 and the I6 is really not significant, under normal, average driving conditions in everyday commuting. Slam on the V8 throttle however, and all that changes. The increased V8 performance naturally translates to increased fuel consumption and lower fuel economy. The same applies to the I6 in spirited driving, but less so. A vehicle is much more than just its engine, of course. The V8 engine comes in the top XC90 trims, and typically has the most available options. AWD, third row seating, rear AC setup, pop up display, headrest DVD displays, etc. If you're lucky and find the V8 Sport trim, it's the Holy grail for the 07. Had fine leather stitching, blue backlit dash gauges, sport 19" wheels, sport exhaust tips, and other V8 sport specific options. The 3.2l I6 typically is available in FWD, may also have third row seating and the entertainment options. Both trims are mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission from AISIN-WARNER, which does a relatively capable job. Certainly better than the earlier T5 and T6, the latter of which was a well known fiasco. In summary, your priorities would determine which trim would be most suitable. Do you get upset and triggered when random vehicles accelerate past you? The V8 is the engine for you. Do you enjoy engine baritone? That deep hum that shows up during spirited driving? The V8 is the engine for you. Do you pay more attention to smiles per gallon, at the expense of miles per gallon? The V8 is the engine for you. Do you often traverse poor, offroad inclined terrain? The Haldex AWD would do you some good, though it may not be the most powerful in its class. The V8 is the engine for you. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Great people, good morning. Please which is better for use here in Nigeria between brand new NISSAN XTRAIL, brand new HYUNDAI TUCSON and brand new HYUNDAIL SANTA FE? Boss Nurey and every other person who knows, please help. Thank you. |

Kewtt: See your life c230 V6 is a 2.5L V6 engine, he didn't say c230 kompressor |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 7:52am On May 20, 2021 |
delightchamp: The Nissan should either be a Qashqi or Rogue. I would prefer Tucson then Santa Fe and lastly Rogue/Qashqi/Xtrail |

nurey: You see how Kewtt owned up to his mistake and moved on? You should try that sometime. You occasionally post wrong info here, when people call you out you try to meander and wiggle out of taking responsibility.

dadabashua1: Accord started in 2008. It's the same generation as the Camry. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by dadabashua1(m): 6:39pm On May 20, 2021 |
HeavenlyBang:yea I know just talking about year of production not generation Sir,guess the generation of that Camry is the 6th 07- 011 as against accords of 08-012,just considering the year model not the generation,I personally think there might be small modifications on year models despite being same Generation,just like the oil burning is said to be not common on 2011 model year as against 2007-2009 despite being same generation,so I personally will prefer the newer models of same generation(last model year),my personal preference anyway |
