Another great Mazda

2011 Mazda CX-7 i Sport 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 5A)
After driving my Mazda5 for five years without one problem it was time to trade.
I looked at other brands of smaller SUVs and Minivans but
in the long run the reliability of my 5 and my great dealer service persuaded me to stay with Mazda.
I have had the CX-7 since Aug. 2010 and so far there has not been even a trace of a problem.
The CX-7 has undergone improvements in ride, quiet cabin … and interior appointments and they are all appreciated.
The seats are very comfortable and the dashboard it really smart looking.
On my most recent highway trip I averaged 30.5 miles per gallon.
In normal city driving I average 22 mph. I love the car.
Love my first Mazda

I've only had this car the last two days and it's really been fun to drive. This is my first crossover and was a smooth transition from my 08 honda civic coupe. It drives and rides like a car! The spacious seats, cargo room, bluetooth feature are my favorite.
Like the Mazda...

Wife wanted a new ride and liked the styling of the cx7. Felt like the price was good for the amount of car we were getting. Liked the fact that it is totally built in Japan ( the Japanese are known to take pride in their workmanship). Read customer reviews and was scared by all the turbo engine problems,so stayed away from it. The standard engine is not bad and avg 24 mpg with mixed … city/country road driving. Drives solid but slightly bumpy. After 15,000 miles my main complaint is the transmission. I just don't like the way it hesitates to downshift after slowing down. I haven't had any problems so far. Only regret is small interior with two kids. Price to pay though for decent fuel economy
Poor Quality

2011 Mazda CX-7 i Sport 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 5A)
I purchased my CX7 the day before Thanksgiving last year.
Overall I am not impressed with this vehicle.
It has already spent a total of three weeks in the shop because of air conditioning issues as well as electrical issues.
For this vehicle not even being a year old I am VERY disappointed to see the plastic lenses getting cloudy on the head lights.
This is something I would expect from … a 8 to 10 year old vehicle.
When I asked the dealer about it I was told this is normal.
This vehicle practically lives in a garage, while at home its parked in the garage, and when I am at work it is parked in the underground parking never really sitting out in direct sun light enough
