Overview & Reviews
The Mazda CX-7 is a compact crossover SUV with seating for five. Introduced for 2007, it was a refinement on the more utilitarian Tribute and like most newer Mazdas, it has an athletic demeanor. The CX-7 also incorporates most of the elements that continue to make crossovers so popular, including carlike handling, available all-wheel drive and a useful amount of cargo capacity.
Although the CX-7 is fun to drive as crossovers go, its base four-cylinder engine is memorable for its sluggish acceleration and subpar fuel economy. The available turbocharged four-cylinder solves the performance problem, but its fuel economy is even worse. With the efficient CX-5 waiting in the wings, the CX-7 was phased out after the 2012 model year.

Zoom Zoom Indeed - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By Chowoldfat - June 24 - 6:00 pmOnly a month old and I love my CX-7! Coming from my old fullsize SUV, the CX-7 is a ball to drive and it turns heads. The CRV or Subaru may be slightly better vehicles, but who wants to be boring? If youre an aftermarket pimp, the CX-7 is sure to spawn tons of bolt-on goodies. Its too early to judge MPG on my CX-7 yet, but its no Prius.

2010 Mazda CR-7 4cyl 2.5L - 2010 Mazda CX-7
By A. Figueroa - June 20 - 10:00 amOverall, I like the car a lot. My biggest concern is that the windshield gets really foggy to the point that forms water droplets in the inside of glass. Another issue is that when I close the window in the auto mode, sometimes it opens half way by itself (both driver and passenger windows).

2007 Mazda CX-7 - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By Donna - June 19 - 9:10 pmVery pretty head turner but not impressed. Horrible gas mileage and premium fuel need is painful! Peppy turbo has power but very jumpy/jerky. Pretty, sleek interior design but ZERO places to put anything with only a deep, dark cave of a console to fish through. Into shop already for headlight repair with 15000 miles on it. Stock tires are winter death traps. MUST purchase snow tires at $200+each or risk death. What traction control? CX-7 is all style but no substance! Dont bother!

Mazda CX-7: fantastic crossover - 2008 Mazda CX-7
By Nikster - June 11 - 7:00 pmIve owned this car for just under a month now, and am totally blown away by how much fun it is to drive. I have a Lexus ES 300, and bought this car for my wife. But I find myself arguing with her over who gets to drive this on the weekend. Great looking exterior, good looking interior, excellent functional features. I got the GT AWD with the technology package - just love the way the nav screen moves to reveal the CD player. For a family of 2 who needs more space but doesnt want to go for a large SUV, this is perfect. The way the turbocharger kicks in to give the car a boost, is phenomenal. Gripes include an over sensitive light sensor that dims the screen, no memory seats.

Okay, but - 2008 Mazda CX-7
By mrs_ollie - June 11 - 5:36 pmI have enjoyed driving this car for more than a year and a half now. At this time, though, I have 19k miles and need new tires. Also, the fuel economy could be better, this is why I selected the 4 cylinder. Otherwise, the interior has weathered my family and dog wonderfully and the car has as much pick up as the day I drove it off the lot.

Great car with a few quirks - 2008 Mazda CX-7
By dementedcx - June 6 - 5:48 pmWe bought this car a little over a month ago, Traded a 2008 Scion TC for it cause our little family had grown by 1 more. Aside from the MPGs I have no real complaints about it. The brakes needed changed at less than 30K but i undertook that task myself & it has a slight vibration at 50-60mph that im still trying to track down. But its an amazing car to own, its fast & sporty. The older kids (6&8) absolutely love it, Just wish i had gotten one with more options.

Is it a sports car or suv? - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By Jer - June 4 - 5:23 pmI have had a lot of fun in my CX-7. It is just the vehicle, I have been looking for for a long time. It drives like a dream. Very well designed inside and out.

No Regrets - 2009 Mazda CX-7
By torchum - May 25 - 1:20 pmThe wife purchased this vehicle and although it does not have the bells and whistles of an optioned model (sure wish it had a few more basic ones though) we are very pleased with it. Working with dealership on a few issues but over all very impressed. The 2009 motor vs the 2010 motor is night and day and the main reason for buying an 09

Buy One!! - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By Banjax - May 18 - 8:10 amBought this car for my wife as her daily car. She loves it, I love it. Lots of style, the turbo is a blast and it looks great on the road (I noticed a lot of young ladies driving these on a recent business trip to Miami, but dont tell my wife). We havent found the gas mileage to be a problem, probably getting around 500 kms to a tank of gas. We thought the level of standard features was ample and the level of comfort outstanding. The ride is firm and sporty without compromising comfort and I would recommend one of these without a second thought. The price was very reasonable also. Buy one!!

My Favorite Car - 2007 Mazda CX-7
By CXRabbit - May 13 - 12:56 pmIve had the car a little over a month and, by far, its the best car I have owned. Mazda really gives you bang for your buck. Quality is outstanding, ride is comfortable but firm (more like a sports car than like a plushy car). It handles superbly, and I didnt feel like there was any adjustment period coming from a smaller car - it felt natural to drive. I even parallel parked it the first week of ownership (of course, rear-view camera helps). I dont agree with anyone who says it needs a V6. Theres no guarantee a V6 is going to take "regular" gas... look at the BMW. They also arent more efficient. Look at real-world results from CUVs with the 6... they are averaging about the same MPG.
