  Best Decision I Ever Made - 2008 Mazda CX-7
  By Demetri - April 9 - 7:36 am

  I have only had the car for a week and I absolutely love it. I went to buy the Mazda 3. The price on the CX7 was outstanding so I took a test drive. Wow what a car. I love the turbo 2.3 engine no problems pulling out when needed. When I first sat in the CX 7, I thought to myself, "Now this is a car". I drive 30+ miles each way to work and I want to be comfortable. The radio controls are a little out of the way and I always change the channel when I think Im hitting the volume but now I use the controls on the steering wheel for everything. The one gentleman was correct the Radio Mute Button is fantastic. I think the car needs to add telescoping steering wheel to their tilt controls.

  What i expected - 2008 Mazda CX-7
  By Geo - March 26 - 6:06 am

  I bought this car in January 2008 and since then all the other cars I drove in my life were nothing. Its an absolutely fantastic car, very quick, the engine noise fantastic ,the steering is like driving a GTi and the build quality fabulous. Of course like every car in the market has its negatives. I have tried hard to find as many as I can but I only find one. Fuel consumption. Well at least you know it before you buy, it even though that Mazda misleads you with the 12.3l per 100km. The best i have managed is 14.5l per 100 km.

  Owned for years, still love it - 2008 Mazda CX-7
  By lurking444 - October 3 - 12:31 am

  I purchased a 2008 CX-7 new, in 2009. It was a "demo" model so I got a good deal. My car only has 25,000 miles on it so far (yeah, I dont drive it all the time). However, I do love the sporty feel, the moderately large cargo capacity, and the styling; it still looks cutting edge. I dont drive it much because my wife and I also own a diesel VW Jetta, which gets better than twice the mpg of the Mazda. Ive averaged about 18.5mpg on the CX-7 in the years Ive owned it. I love the sportiness of the vehicle, but youll have to make a judgement about whether poor fuel economy is worth the love of the road/drive. Im happy with my decision to buy this car.

  Who would have thought? - 2008 Mazda CX-7
  By bb - January 18 - 1:30 pm

  I have had this amazing SUV for about a month and could not be more impressed. I cant believe I ended up with Mazda. I looked at BMW X3, Audi Q7, VW Toureg, and the Nissan Pathfinder. After driving all of these I could not believe how close the BMW and the Mazda were. So, I bought the Mazda and saved some money. I couldnt be happier and I have not had this much fun driving anything in the last 15 years!

  Love my baby!! - 2008 Mazda CX-7
  By loveliladi - January 7 - 6:02 pm

  I purchased a 2008 CX7 in Oct 2012. 3 days after purchasing it I too had white smoke coming from the exhaust. I returned it to the dealership and they fixed it with no questions asked. Other than that, like everyone else, the gas consumption is a little low but it also depends on how you drive. If your always driving like a bat out of hell then of course your gas consumption will be less than someone takes their time or goes a slow, steady speed. The interion is comfortable (sometimes I feel like Im in a cockpit in a spaceship lol). The back is very roomy and everyone says they love it back there. This is my first SUV so I ma love, love, loving sitting higher. Great purchase so far.

  CX-7 Touring FWD - 2008 Mazda CX-7
  By SCJim - October 17 - 8:13 am

  After much research, I replaced my BMW X5 of five years with the the CX-7. I went with the Touring model as I didnt like the Grand Touring trim and no need for NAV. The car is an excellent value for the money. Fun to drive and interior comforts that you wouldnt expect at the price point.

  Great SUV - 2008 Mazda CX-7
  By jaron1 - August 2 - 11:51 am

  This is a great car considered lots of other vehicles before buying. I thought the some of these reviews were unfair about this car as most of the problems were due to driver error. And not keeping up on normal maintenance this is a fantastic car fun to drive lots of spunk and great ride quality. Its quite inside with plenty of room I would recomend this car to anyone

  Overall very nice SUV - 2008 Mazda CX-7
  By Dave - July 17 - 8:26 am

  Bought a demo in February 08 and it is a very nice SUV. Handles like a sports car and has nice acceleration but does ride a bit stiff. Test drove the CRV, Highlander, RAV4 and Acadia before settling on the Mazda. Fuel mileage is OK if you dont step on it too much but thats difficult because its really fun to drive!

  Great CUV - 2008 Mazda CX-7
  By Mario Varela - December 24 - 10:46 am

  This is a great Crossover Utility Vehicle. It has very fast pick-up from zero and it hugs the road unbelievably. The exterior styling is very intriguing, will turn heads as you stroll by. The interior is also very stylish. The turbo comes in handy when needed.
