  Never buying a Mazda again. - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By kmdw - July 3 - 10:39 am

  My wife bought her CX-7 used with around 40,000 miles. Timing chain broke at 60,100 miles. No check engine light until car actually stopped running (in passing lane on busy interstate). Mazda is replacing the engine right now, no questions asked, despite her not being able to find all her oil change receipts. I suppose we have to thank everyone else before us who had this problem and complained, otherwise wed be in the same boat. This thing apparently develops other problems that we dont want to to have to deal with, so as soon as its fixed, were trading it in!!!

  CX -7 Dont Buy - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By John - April 26 - 11:40 pm

  8 years old with only 70,000 miles. Turbo failure caused engine to fail. $8,000 of non covered repairs. Mazda knows about the turbo problem, but doesnt want to recognize the bad engine design. People complaining about the turbo problem are all over the internet. If you have the car and havent had a problem yet, get rid of it. Its only a matter of time before the engine has an expensive failure. Traded the Mazda in and got a Honda CR-V. Will never buy another Mazda. Edit Been driving the Honda for awhile now and its a great car. Great decision to dump the Mazda.

  Gas and Repairs - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By Lamar Thomas - December 14 - 9:35 pm

  Break pads wear quickly, gas mileage very very poor and requires premium gas, turbo system and transmission unreliable with high repair cost. Often need front alignment. Backup camera view screen are poor. Rear seats uncomfortable. Windows and doors noise.

  Dont Buy or Get Rid of it! - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By jrw80 - March 15 - 9:33 pm

  Bought new in 07/2006, 07 Touring model, AWD,loaded. Like the looks of the car. Real trouble began after 70,000 miles. Had VVT and timing chain replaced, $2500, Mazda rep literally said sorry nothing we can do about it. Shouldve got rid of it right there. Started to use a lot of oil afterwards, still not Mazdas problem. Got another year out of it before an ignition coil went bad on a trip and then only to find no compression in one of the cylinders. This car is a bad engine design. If you have on get rid of it before the miles go up, dont buy a used one if youre looking.

  Got Rid of It - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By Deb - February 1 - 3:30 am

  This vehicle looks great on the outside, but is the most uncomfortable vehicle I have ever owned. Some features are over thought out. If the gas cap is loose the computer gives an error message and the message will not go away by correcting the problem and tightening the cap. No, you must go to the dealership to have it reset. It constantly gave me error messages when nothing was wrong according to the dealer. Minor things are missing, like a light by the mirrors on the visor, and setting the clock was nearly impossible. The dealer did not know how and I accidentally set it. The ride is very choppy, I felt every little dimple in the road. I could not wait to get rid of this vehicle!

  Piece of Junk - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By mtaquila82 - January 31 - 8:13 am

  Bought this car for my wife last January. She liked the styling and the performance over her Explorer. Big mistake. Have had it in the shop several times for stupid problems like wheels locking up while driving, windows not working, and the passenger side airbag light staying on (meaning the airbag is off) even when an adult is in the seat. Gas mileage is atrocious for a 4 cylinder. I dont have an issue with 18 mpg, but a 4 cylinder... lets be serious, especially with premium gas. Sticker on the car said 24 mpg on the highway, obviously they meant a downhill highway when you are driving with a fierce tailwind. Seats are incredibly uncomfortable & terrible resale value. Dont buy it!

  Do Yourself A Favor and Buy Something Else! - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By Stella Gee - August 22 - 2:36 am

  Purchased new in March 2007. Constant CELs (check engine lights) from the beginning. I dont drive it much. Has less than 70,000 miles on it almost 10 years later. Just spent $2k repairing timing chain and oil control valve. Has needed prior expensive repairs related to the turbo engine. This is an old car but kept in the garage with VERY low miles. The oil is changed frequently, the maintenance is kept up. It should be a VERY good car at this point but it isnt. You will find yourself with expensive repairs if you buy this car. Researched online and many owners had a blown engine at 60-100K miles. Mazda stopped making them for a good reason. On top of that, whatever the advertised MPG is, is a lie. I get about 250 miles from a full tank of gas. Thats about 16 MPG regardless of freeway or street driving. Yes, its cute but the reality of owning it isnt.
