  Nice Vehicle But Some Issues - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By Ironton215 - August 6 - 6:56 pm

  This is my first Mazda. I purchased it because it is a very nice looking vehicle and it fits my family, which includes three in car seats. After purchasing the CX-7 I noticed several things that have slightly reduced my opinion of the vehicle. The fuel economy is not very good and premium fuel is required. From the interior the engine noise and heat is very noticible. The transmission shifts oddly back and forth between fifth and sixth gear at times. Suspension is very stiff. Turbo lag. Many "nice to haves" missing - no bluetooth, no navigation software support between Mazda and Navteq, no extra functions such as MPG in the display, no iPod ability with nav. sys., etc. A-pillar blind spot!!

  Its an ok SUV - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By Lissette - August 2 - 10:03 pm

  I bought my Mazda CX7 in 2007 and I regret it. Less than 1 year my Air compressor Blew. Then the AC after the year in January of 2009 It doesnt work now that the warranty is up, I have to pay. I took it to Mazda 1 wk after the Manufacturer Warranty was up, they said they couldnt help me. Oh by the way do not get the tire protection, its a waste of money they say that all mazda dearlers accept the assignment, NOT. I had to pay out of pocket. Couldnt do anything about it because dealership closed.

  Not bad - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By Mike - June 22 - 11:03 pm

  Handling is good on this car. Ive had it for about 3000 miles nows and am very impressed with cornering and acceleration. Had to go to dealer to get engine light checked out once.

  Best of both worlds - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By scarls13 - June 14 - 11:50 am

  We purchased our CX-7 in January of 2007 and so far are very pleased with it. The engine is surprisingly powerful for a 4-cyl, and the turbo lag isnt as noticeable as some reviews led me to believe it would be. (Granted, Ive never owned a turbo before, but compared to an 02 VW Jetta 1.8T I test drove once, this turbo lag is nothing!) I love the feel of the car - its much more nimble than one might expect. Gas mileage, as everyone else mentions, could and probably should be better. (So far were averaging around 20mpg with a decent amount of stop-and-go highway driving.) There are a few annoyances that Im sure will be worked out in the 08, but overall Id say its a winner.

  First Major Problem Occurs - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By Traveling Consultant - February 17 - 2:20 pm

  This is 4th review. I still like my CX-7 despite, the fuel sensor light defect still arises when I punch it getting into the flow of traffic from entrance ramps. At 87,000 miles I had the a/c compressor unit go out while traveling and was forced to find a dealership out of state. Because my local dealer monitored the repair process, I was able to avoid being over-charged $700.00 for new unit. The suspect dealership made right the overcharges when I presented them retail charge pricing from the manufacturer. I do enjoy the sports car like driving demeanor, but think the ac system should have lasted much longer. I now have 91,000 miles and have put purchased my third set of tires.

  Not too many issues... - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By rmcclimond - December 31 - 3:58 pm

  I bought my car in 2007, with 6 mile on the odometer. Had only a couple of issues until now. My husband was driving the car, had to break hard, then as accelerating, between 3rd and 4th, heard a loud boom, pulled over to check. Didnt see anything, now the vehicle wont engage when put into reverse. Guess well hit the mechanic on Monday.

  I love this car! Fun to drive; handles the curves through the mountains like on rails. Only complaints: check engine light comes on often. I am well aware of the gas cap causing this but that has not been a problem. Also it lags a little when you "punch it" from a stop - the turbo takes a bit to wind up. Could get a little better mileage and use regular gas.

  Beauty is only skin deep - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By conway - August 18 - 3:33 am

  Love the styling, big wheels, turbo engine, only had to return once for minor issues. Dislike premium gas, jerky shifting, poor sight lines, poor fuel economy, dash hard to see for shorter driver.

  I Love It!! - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By Kristin - August 8 - 5:40 pm

  This really is an awesome car! I test drove almost all other SUVs on market like it, and the CX-7 was my favorite. So MPG isnt great, but for the SUVs on the market today, I am not surprised. The Mazda CX-7 is fun to drive and the performance is great. I sold my old Lexus GS-300 (Ill admit it was the first model made back in the 90s) and bought this car, and I am not disappointed in the performance or the handling. The AWD is a must for snow conditions and traction control is a nice feature. Had to get 3 recalls done, but I got a letter in the mail telling me I needed to, and they were paid for. Never had a problem with reliability. Great car!

  Love it so Far - 2007 Mazda CX-7
  By Keith - August 7 - 2:23 am

  Had the vehicle for about 2 weeks. Sold a Lincoln LS-V8. Love the cornering capability of the Mazda. I wanted the cargo capability of an SUV, but didnt want to sacrifice handling. I have not been disappointed. Over 40 with kids still at home, so comfort for trips was also a concern.
