Pleasant Surprise
Only have 500 miles on the vehicle but am really happy with it so far. Over 23 MPG on the first tank of gas. Goes from 60 to 80 in a hurry when on the freeway. Stock stereo is sufficient for most needs and standard features are more than found on most vehicles.
Hate this Car
Bought this car in 8/07. Hated it since the 2nd week of ownership! (I traded it last month.) This car is over-priced, cheap looking, hard to see out of, poor gas mileage, premium gas. I bit the bullet, worked out a good trade and kissed it good-bye! Never been so glad to get rid of a car!

THIS ONE MAKES MY WIFE SMILE
We just purchased our CX-7 Sport and find it more fun than we had anticipated. It is quick, smooth and handles extremely well. I test drove a Mitsubishi Outlander, Toyota Rav4, Hyundai Santa Fe and Honda CR-V. None of them has the leg and headroom and the power of the CX-7. I am six feet two inches tall and 300 pounds and I fit in the car with lots of extra room. The four cylinder turbo is great. Only the Mitsubishi came close to the power and quickness of the CX-7. The outside is very sleek. It looks more like a sports car than a SUV. The other thing that was nice was the price, very nice. We look forward to driving our CX-7 for a long time.
Best of both worlds
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 isn't as noticeable as some reviews led me to believe it would be. (Granted, I've 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 - it's much more nimble than one might expect. Gas mileage, as everyone else mentions, could and probably should be better. (So far we're averaging around 20mpg with a decent amount of stop-and-go highway driving.) There are a few annoyances that I'm sure will be worked out in the '08, but overall I'd say it's a winner.
Zoom Zooom!
Living in Denver, 5 to 6,000 ft. above sea level, a turbo is a "must have" for performance! Losing 20% to 30% of a normal car's horsepower at this altitude, it's great to be back in a turbo! I bought this car for its utility and performance, and it delivers on both. Great fun to drive! The premium gas is a small price to pay for the performance. Fuel mileage is about what I would expect for a car of this size and performance. Or maybe a little better!
