Disappointed - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By CP - December 12 - 1:26 pmGreat at first then around 5000 miles, check engine light came on for recall that I was never made aware of. At 12500 miles turbo blew leaving my family stranded. Took 3 weeks to get fixed then 1 week later power windows dont work correctly. Now has 13000 miles and passenger side front tire is balding on the inside. Dealer told me that this is not uncommon for this vehicle to need new tires by 15000 miles which is not covered by warranty. Have had vehicle for 11 months now and is worth more than $10,000 less than paid for it. Lots of engine noise, you need the Bose stereo.

Great Looking Car, but company does not stand behind it and build quality is poor - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By paul7410 - June 12 - 9:53 pmPlain and simple, if you are thinking of buying one - dont. Build quality is suspect. Company doesnt honor warranties. Company wont recall even when 1000s of customers have same issue, etc.

bad experience - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By stephen Lullmann - June 3 - 3:20 am2 recalls in 1st week of ownership, car totally unprepared for release requiring 2 return trips to dealer. Harsh ride, too noisy to enjoy Bose sound system, new front calipers within 1000 miles, uneven acceleration, not recommended for long trips. driver windshield wiper leaves large amounts of water on passenger side due to uncoordinated wiper movements.

Dont buy one - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By Alegna - June 5 - 6:23 pmI just traded my 2007 CX-7 for a 2009 Honda Accord. The worst part is the gas mileage. It didnt get even close to what it was supposed to, even when I put premium in it, it averaged 15 mpg on a really good day. Also, during the last two months in the shop with it 5 times. A valve cracked and leaked twice in one month & I had the same valve replaced twice. The light illuminated a third time & the fuel filler neck had to be replaced. I also replaced all 4 tires at 17,000 miles and was told by Mazda this was "normal." This cost me $800. Not to mention 2 recalls and cheap, boring interior design with crappy leather. Remote start also sucks. So happy with my new car and glad to be rid of the CX7!

Mazda owner - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By sylvia - December 14 - 10:03 pmMy Mazda at first take off, feels like Im riding over rocks in the road. Ive always liked the body of the Mazda cx-7, but the interior isnt as roomy as Id like and I also wanted the interior to be cloth, but not the kind that if drop something on it it would be difficult to clean. The gas mileage I was hoping it would be better than 19 in town. The handling of the car around curve is very stiff and feels very dangerous to me and driving in the rain is very dangerous to me as well, it doesnt handle on the road very well in the rain.

Would not buy again - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By Halfaford - November 26 - 12:30 pmReplaced the turbo after 16,000 miles & brake rotors cut down at 17,000. All covered under warranty but still shouldnt happen. Gas mileage is TERRIBLE. As long as the turbo doesnt kick in (which w/the 4 cyl. it always does) Im getting 12.5 MPG. This is NOT a car for aggressive drivers! Doesnt handle well on corners, lots of roll. With Premium gas only, I spend $400+ a month just driving to work. (6 days at 70 MPD)Trading it in after a year!

So Disappointed!! - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By Annie - October 23 - 8:33 pmWas so excited when I got a great deal on this car. I have been disappointed on the performance since that day. I am averaging 15-16 miles per gallon, and It takes premium gas!! Ouch!! The car feels like its trying too hard all the time. The transmission light has come on twice now, and they are upgrading a computer as I write this review. Lets see what happens. Also no outside temperature on the Sport model. Whats with that??

...and it just keeps getting better....NOT!!! - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By subszero - October 3 - 12:03 pm1. Turbo replacement at 65K miles....$3400 2. FIRST VVT replacement at 72K miles....$1600 3. SECOND VVT replacement at 90K miles....$1200 (got only the part...$450...as "goodwill"...yeah me!) 4. Transmission replacement at about 100K miles....$4000+ ....getting a letter from Mazda in the mail that "extends the warranty" on the VVT...thinking I may be able to recoup ~$3000, only to find that the extension was only to 70K miles.....PRICELESS!!!! Does anyone else find it odd that these warranties expire JUST before something MAJOR happens? Someone is getting "ZOOM ZOOMd" alright!!

Cold Water on CX-7 - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By CDT - May 1 - 3:40 amThis is a very annoying vehicle. It was the first one delivered in the area and no doubt has some new model quirks, but that does not explain a vehicle delivered with major misalignment that scrubbed the first tires in 10k miles, nor the turbo lag, nor the awful gas mileage (17-19 in almost all country driving), nor the terrible handling in snow (except straight ahead), nor the brakes that went metal to metal in 20k miles. Its pretty and fun on dry curvy roads, but overall it is a loser and will not be bought or repeated at lease end.

Started out as my dream car..... - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By lenalou22 - May 13 - 12:05 amMy CX7 is in the shop again, this time with a $2500 repair. It has 45,000 miles on it and needs a second timing chain as well as a new turbo. I also had the AC replaced this summer. I was so in LOVE with this car when I got it, but after putting 20,000 miles on it and paying THOUSANDS of dollars in repairs, I could not be more disappointed. Mazda knows all of the problems with these CX7- yet doesnt stand behind it when they happen over and over again to according to all these reviews, everyone. Some people say they havent had problems yet, they will come. Just wait. Had I known Mazda was made by FORD I would have never bought it in the first place.
