  Enjoying My Ride! - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By Ransoms CX-7 - December 26 - 3:00 pm

  I had the privledge of selecting the type of car purchased by my employer. Crossovers were my choice of vehicle type, so the choice was between the Honda CR-V, Madza CX-7, or Nissan Murano price range. Test driving all three was fun, but I found that the Mazda had more sports car like characteristics than the others. I am a consultant, and often drive 400 mile trips in a given day, with meetings. The car is awesome for such trips. I arrive in comfort, refreshed, and ready to consult. Glad I picked the CX-7. Almost feel guilty sometimes, most people in my profession drive pickups. Enjoy my Zoom Zoom Zoom Mazda.

  Fun, Runs Rough at 70mph? - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By Chris - October 28 - 6:23 pm

  Wile looking for a new small SUV for my wife, we drove FX35, Pilot, MDX, RX330, 4 Runner, Highlander, Explorer, Murano, etc. Price and options drove us to the CX-7. I was sold on the FX35, but wife was unwilling to spend the additional $10k. While we like the car, the turbo lag is a killer. Im hesitant to pull out into traffic because it is so unpredictable. Also, I sense the engine runs slightly rough at highway speeds (70mph or around 2000rpm). I had it in once and they claim to have replaced the ignition coil. It also has a rattle they cannot find which sounds like the rear wiper is falling off at 60+mph. Not happy with the solutions so far, might trade it if they cant fix it.

  Not Bad - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By offset_98 - June 9 - 6:53 pm

  Ive had mine for 1 1/2 years now and have no complaints. Fuel mileage, as late as today is averaging 21.8 mpg in city/hwy with my wife driving it (18 when I drive it). It fits our daughter and everything that goes along with her perfectly. Im glad we popped for the GT but I wish Id spent a tad more for the nav system. Weve had our CX-7 in the rain and snow and the FWD was just fine. Traction control was great.

  Sold Benz for the CX-7 - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By Steve - April 20 - 2:33 am

  Was tired of commuting and carting kids to sporting events in a car that had bad gas mileage and was always dirty. Selected the Mazda as an affordable, reliable and bad weather capable car that I wouldnt mind getting a bit dirty. Looked at the Tribeca and RDX. Tribeca drove like a mini van and the MDX was overpriced.

  Great CUV - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By stevem8 - March 3 - 2:06 pm

  As lots of others here, I drove lots of other CUVs. I traded in my Audi A4 Quattro. I was very worried about losing performance and handling of the A4, but with the CX its all here! It still blows me away when I hit it off the line. Its so fast for this size of vehicle. The gas does suffer while doing quick starts, but to me its worth the performance! The other CUVs in its class were boring and felt numb. This is a CUV for people who love to drive!

  We have really enjoyed this car - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By AJ - February 18 - 8:16 am

  We leased our CX-7 in Mar. of 07 when the model was brand new. We have loved this car. We are spoiled with the sunroof, back-up camera, navigation and space. Our budget is less now, so we will have to give up some of these conveniences in our next car. I agree about the rough ride. Tires wear out very quickly and the ride gets rough and noisy when the tires begin to wear out. We have had a TERRIBLE time with the AC. Went out in Mar. 09, then 3 days after the warranty expired in Mar. 10, it went out again! Hassled with the dealer; they initially refused to cover it and charged us $100 to diagnose it. They ended up installing a new unit and refunded the $100. No other mechanic prob.

  First Mazda Owned - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By PH - February 18 - 1:36 am

  We traded a Mitsubishi Endeavor for this CX-7 which was a downsizing for us. Gas mileage about the same so far. Dealer suggested regular unleaded gas, but have been afraid to try that yet. Changes gears quite frequently driving in the mountains like we do. Overall satisfied so far.

  Fun Car...Needs V6 - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By dougieritch - January 24 - 9:06 am

  Ive had this car for about a month, a typical Mazda automobile, fun to drive, excellent handling, breaking, and interior design. I would recommend this car to anyone, however its major drawback is the fact its a Turbo instead of a V6...for some reason Mazda is obsessed with them and it requires PREMIUM GAS!

  Zoom Zoom, Indeed - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By megc1000 - January 12 - 7:43 am

  I love my car!! I almost wish my commute to work was longer because its so fun to drive. I love the fact that their arent too many others like mine on the road. Mazda does an awesome job - Ive owned both a 323 hatchback (which I drove for 12 years with no problems) and a Tribute, and know that my next car will also be a Mazda.

  Best Looking/Great Drive - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By ZoomZoom - November 12 - 4:46 pm

  I just crossed 36000 miles on my CX-7 FWD GT. I got it with the tech package, so it is loaded. Have had all the recommended services done. As I write this, the gas cap problem occurred way back in June 2007. Otherwise, the car has been exceptionally fun to drive. Get about 21 mpg (what I expected) and drive 60/40 highway/city. No a/c to rear, which is a bummer for the kids. That would be my biggest gripe. Also, the tires lasted to 30k, and im on my 2nd set. Otherwise, this has been a great car for me and my family. The fun-to- drive factor is off the charts. I live driving down two-lane country roads with inclines and curves. The car just responds so incredibly well. Go for it!
