It was a good SUV until the Turbo went 2x

I enjoyed driving this truck everyday, until last year (2013) the turbo decided to quit. It started billowing smoke from the tailpipes. Luckily this was replaced under the warranty. Fast forward 9 months and 2000 miles over warranty the turbo goes again and Mazda refuses to pay for the entire fix. A part they fixed fails not even a year after it was replaced. I was a loyal Mazda owner and was looking forward to purchasing another, not anymore.

I stepped out of a custom F-150 xlt with all the power and none of the economy to this. I moved from the country to the city and this thing does exactly what I need it to. Front wheel drive with traction control for Cleveland winters. Fold down rear seat for those few times I need a little more room. It doesn't look like every other ride on the road. The 2.5L engine is spunky enough to merge from short access lanes w/o worrying about getting rolled over by whoever bought my old truck. It parks easier in the big city, it gets better gas mileage, it is comfortable on trips (I've taken 2 to NC so far) and it has enough ground clearance to drive over a parking lot curb...totally by accident ;-)

I bought one that has 80,000 sounds great right. Nope 6 months after having it turbo charger went out. Cost a pretty penny. Then because i drove on it to far the whole engine needed replaced. After 3 months in the shop i finally got my car back. Now when i drive the wheel alignment? sounds annoying. And makes werid jurk pulls while accelerating. I love this car but the problems that it comes with is disappointing. Wish you any luck with this car.

I bought my 2010 Mazda CX-7 new. I was generally satisfied, though pretty annoyed with the fact that I was constantly being pulled over and told that one of my headlights was out - like every couple of months. This turned out to be a "known issue" for Mazdas according to one of the garage mechanics I talked to because I wasn't about to go to the dealer to have them replaced at several hundreds of dollars (they take off the front bumper or something) - the guy at the garage would sometimes have to spend 20-30 minutes fiddling around to manipulate the gasket to replace the bulb, but they never charged for more than the cost of the bulb. Anyway, I religiously change the oil with synthetic per recommendations and yes, it has 108,000 miles on it now, but just 2 months ago I replaced the wheel bearings in the rear driver's left side and put new front brakes in it to the tune of $800+ at the dealer. So, it would have been nice to have a head's up that is a significant chance that the turbocharger might fail and that if it does that it could lead to catastrophic engine failure. But no, instead that happens on one of the coldest nights of the year during rush hour. And they can't tell me if the turbocharger failure resulted in a blown engine which means the car is basically a hunk of junk or not. The dealer recommends that rather than spending the money on replacing the turbocharger since he doesn't know if that will fix it, I look to trading it in. Well, NOT on another Mazda! Grrrrr.

Failed turbo and AC compressor - buyer beware

We purchased a 2010 cx-7 at 50k miles, drove for 4 years to 84,000 miles, and had the Turbo and AC compressor fail. Dealer wanted $4k for repairs, and Mazda was unwilling to cover any of the cost. Will not buy Mazda again. Never heard of having major engine components fail so early in the life of the vehicle. My 2001 Pontiac grand am is still running with 160k miles on it.

I have had my CX7 for a little over a year now. So far so good. I bought it used with 97 000km (approx 60000miles) and we have enjoyed it very much. The interior is very well appointed, everything is where it should be and the truck makes you feel safe. Cargo space could be a little better, but we have more than enough room for the baby stroller and all our groceries. Performance is very good, the truck picks up and goes when you ask it too, but it's no racecar that's for sure. Cabin is a little noisy but getting a decent set of tires will help that, I run 19 inch Yokohama Advan tires in the summer and there is barely any noise. I don't find the Bose sound system that good, the Bose system.

SUV at this price range don't come with 4 wheel ventilated disc brakes so I was pleasantly surprised. Excellent brakes. Handling especially in slippery conditions is very stable and sure footed. I tried to spin it out and drift it over snow, just to show my son how to handle such situations, but I could not get it to slip. I am used to doing this maneuver in open and empty spaces over many years, but this car would not let me drift - Very Sure Footed! Made in Japan, and I have not had any quality issues. Highly recommended.

Had it for 4 years 65K miles. Great car, handling and space, except headlight issues. In addition to bulb going out several times, in 4 years, dim headlights. Took it to the dealer and they said, the discolored dim is actually inside and it is due to angle design of headlights and the heat from the bulbs. Only solution was to pay $1,500 new headlights. I was mad as is is Mazda design issue not something I did wrong. I drove it as is until couple fender bender at night and hitting the curve at night all due to dim headlights. Asked dealer about warranty if I do get it fixed. 1 year and problem may be back. I sold it as it was getting too dangerous. I will never buy another Mazda.

Sporty looks both inside and out, suspension is a bit stiffer than similar cars in its class but it handles extremely well, braking is excellent, the turbo 4cyl. is surprisingly peppy but does have some "turbo lag" at times. Some minor complaints, the heated seats barely get warm and you would expect better sound quality from a Bose system, last but not least COME ON MAZDA both touring models should get an auto dimming rear view mirror!! Overall a nice little crossover with a great sporty feel. I tested the CRV, Outback and Rogue and ultimately choose the CX- 7

After searching for 3 months for a crossover, I finally settled on this vehicle. The exterior is very sleek with its wide stance and cascading roofline that slopes downwards to the back of the vehicle. The interior is very comfortable with its heated leather seats. The controls and display on the inside are very nice and quite ergonomical as well. For the price I paid (just under $30K), the amenities it comes with cannot be matched. The turbocharged AWD engine provides the power you need at your beck and call and the AWD can handle any weather conditions here in RI. I have received numerous comments on the styling and how sharp it looks, and I couldnt agree more.
Don't ever buy Mazda.....Worst cars ever

I have bought 10 cars in my 35 years of driving (2 car family). This was by far the worst. This was the most expensive at $35k and only made it 87k miles before engine went bad. It is also well known (but covered up) that Mazda failed in the development of this vehicle and refused to stand behind it. Imagine having a 'fancy' car like this that was a small four cylinder turbo getting 22 mpg highway? The turbo and VVT goes bad every 40k miles ($4.5k) while having tires ($2k) and brakes ($1k) ware out every 30k miles. Electronics had impossible to fix glitches killing batteries. When the car died the Mazda certified dealership repair shop took 4 weeks to even determine it needed a new engine. First they tried to pass off a $4.5k repair bill claiming it was fixed and I insisted on a test drive....,with technician in car and a one mile drve car engine light came on and acceleration issues resumed and began smoking (very dangerous). The technicians told me these cars were a piece of garbage and it could not be fixed. I sold it to junk car dealer directly from their front lot...imagine a pristine looking 5 year old car finished being picked up by cars for cash. At the same time I have a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer with 150k miles that never needs any repairs, a 2008 Kia Sportage with 250k miles never having costly problems and now a 2016 Ford Fusion with 55k miles that hasn't needed a single thing but oil change. Buying and then dealing with Mazda was my only mistake in buying a car in 35 years. The class action lawsuit was beat in court by a bias judge and Mazdas high priced lawyers.

Where to begin... Come on Mazda, where is the power? It's like riding on a skate board. The stereo is terrible, the ride is stiff and you feel every bump, the seats are uncomfortable. I could go on and on. I am very unhappy with this vehicle.

My husband and I test drove the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 but didn't like the feel or excessive cabin noise. Although those vehicles had nice features, we wanted something that offered a balance of comfort, smooth ride, and great fuel economy. We decided to test drive the CX7 and fell in love. We were both surprised at how smooth the ride was and the build quality was fantastic! The cabin is also so well insulated that we didn't even need to turn up the volume on the radio while driving on the freeway! Needless to say, we drove off with our new CX7 completely satisfied with our purchase.

Straight out of the showroom, this sweet engine gave me 27.8 mpg while driving both city and highway miles. It's gutsy, sleek, well made, and exceptionally responsive. Compared the Scion, Honda Element, Rav4, Mazda 3, Saturn Vue, and chose this car. My expectations are high and it delivers. At my fingertips are great, useful features, plus it earns high safety scores, and has excellent cargo room. I've owned pickups, vans, station wagons, a jag. This vehicle capitalizes on the best features of each of them. It's sporty, handles on dime, can haul big stuff, has plenty of guts. Cuts through Michigan's snow, doesn't lose it's grip on slippery roads. I'm so happy I bought a CX7!

Purchased my 2010 CX-7 last week after an exhaustive research of comparable models. Narrowed it down to the Acura RDX or the CX-7. Mazda won hands down, side-by-side. Less turbo lag, better features and styling and much better pricing. CX-7 Bluetooth navi and audio has my husband (who owns an Acura TSX) quite envious. It handles just as good as his TSX also.

Unless major repairs have been made to the engine over 100k miles don't buy this car. Had serious engine problems at 120k. Able to fix them but at a high price tag. Poor engineering of the engine can make it costly. My Cx7 is in excellent shape and I would sell it to someone with great confidence in its reliability, however that is only because I have had the fuel system rebuilt and replaced all the coils, spark plugs and busted hydrollic engine mounts.

My husband and I just purchased a new 2010 CX-7 a few days ago and couldn't be happier with it. We traded our 2007 Mazda 6 to get a bigger vehicle. We never had any problems with the 6 and have always been happy with the service we have gotten from Mazda. I love the look and feel of this SUV. I had test drove a 2010 Lexus RX350, and liked the CX-7 a lot more. I am hoping once the car is broken in the MPG will get better. We also own a 2009 Mazda 6 s GT with a V6 in it and that is getting better MPG then the CX-7. Love the backup cam!

When I bought this car, it was a necessary "downsizing" for me from a GMC Acadia (basically I took what I could get to get my payments more affordable). I didn't expect to like it; it was just something I bought to "get me by." Well, to my surprise, I am now a Mazda customer for life! This car has been very reliable, affordable, and fun to drive. Everything on the interior is clean and easy to use, and I think the exterior has a nice look to it as well. My family is growing so I am now taking advantage of the Mazda loyalty program to get a nice discount on the bigger CX-9. So glad I made this purchase!
Excellent value!

I looked at all the compact SUV in the price range, and before deciding on the CX-7, CRV and RAV4 were my other final candidates. Simply put, CX-7 just felt more expensive. It offeres a combination of style, refinement, and driving pleasure that is very rare in this class. In addition, where else can you find power and heated seats, rear view camera, auto A/C, moon roof, and bluetooth all for $25K. Yes, the CX-7 can use more room and power, but it never felt slow in my daily communite, and it is large enough for my family of 4 plus a 120LB dog. CX-7 looked stunning inside and out, and you probably won't find another same car in the same parking lot.

I have had some scary moments in this car. I have had it for 3.5 years now and when it rains it never fails i lose traction. One time recently we had a bad rain storm and my car lost traction and hydroplaned and the front end went downward which made me think i was about to flip. I was on a hwy but know this vehicle so as soon as I saw rain I let off the gas, it was too late. All I can say is Thank God! My kids weren't with me. I have read this is an issue with the cx-7, as well as the headlights going out often, which mine do. In fact, I can not keep headlights working in my cx-7. I also can not keep the interior lights working and my mechanic has done everything to try to fix this matter but has been unsuccessful. The stereo however is the best part of this car. I enjoy it very much. The a/c is another matter, im having trouble from time to time with a smell and have had it recharged twice recently. When my cruise control is on a feel a miss with it, like a small jerk, so that is worrisome. I recently hit 122k miles and i will say when i hit the 100k mile mark things started to fail and it continues. I recently spent over $600, for repairs to keep me on the road and as I type i had to drop my car off to get the headlights repaired yet again. This is the 3rd time within the last few months. I am about to part ways with this vehicle and i do not intend on buying another Mazda. I will be looking for a safer vehicle, this one has really scared me!!!

Small space in back seat area. Hard to get good traction when starting on wet surface. Day 3 we had backup camera installed, would of been nice to have backup camera already included. Nice sound system and phone system included as standard. Sits lower than my other SUV. Overall not bad, nice car.

This is a very nice vehicle with plenty of features and style. The turbo engine is smooth with very minimal turbo lag - if any at all. I did, however, expect the car to have more power with the 244 hp. I kind of wish they just made this with a 6 cylinder and ditched the turbo. The MPG would be the same probably. The AWD system seems to work, although I can better gauge that in the coming Maine winter months. The handling is excellent for a vehicle of this size - much like my 2007 Mazda 6 that I traded in for this vehicle.

My neighbor recently brought the same vehicle and I really like the style and size of the Mazda CX7 Sport. So far I really like the vehicle. I thought it would be hard to go from a 6 cylinder to a 4 but so far so good. Pleased with my choice. Could be less road noise but maybe it's the tires or road.

I purchaed a new CX-7 in Sept 2010. There are major flaws you need to be aware of before you buy. I learned the hard way and ended up trading the vehicle for a Nissan Murano. 1. Excessive road noise during highway driving. My wife & I commented to each other we needed ear plugs to drown out the tire noise. Apparently, Mazda did not sound proof the undercarriage. 2. Air conditioning is inadequate during hot summer days. We live in Georgia where the summers get hot, and the air conditioning system in this car can't keep up, not even close. So between the road noise and lack of a good air conditioner, the comfort factor is very poor, so poor I had trade the vehice.

Our 2010 Mazda CX-7 was a decent enough replacement car after an accident. We had it for 5 years, from 2013-2018. It started wobbling and shaking one day in July, and no mechanic could figure it out. We went through a lot of money trying to fix it, then threw in the towel. One mechanic hit the nail on the head when she said Mazdas are good cars, but when they go bad, they go bad fast.

I purchased mine used at 35k miles back in 2013 and it is still running strong at almost 91k miles today May 29th of 2019. In that time, in regards to larg fixes, I have only had to change breaks once, battery once, headlights twice, fan belt once, new air conditioner coolant, 3 or 4 oil changes, air filter change, and one tire change. All periodically and at entirely different times, plus, I had my headlights changed one by my fiance which only costed me like $40. Cosmetically, I need to get the driver side window motors fixed or get the window tract fixed bc they are at the point of needing some assistance halfway through rolling them up electronically. Once I pull up a little then push the little window button it allows the window to continue going up. It costs approx $250 to fix, so I've just been avoiding it for now since it's not that big of a deal. I am a mother to a toddler who is about to be 4 amd this Suv is beyond perfect and practical for everything I need. It holds large items when needed, it is able to handle long drives, handles well in the snow, feels sturrdy and safe to drive in rainy weather, and offers a ton of great features to keep everyone satisfied. Not to mention, I always get questions about this SUV and compliments on it. It looks and feels amazing. Someone on here reviewed that their car started shaking and that no one could figure out what it was. I couldn't help but remember a time i got a flat tire from a nail and had an off the road quick repair done to the tire that then caused my car to start shaking whenever I reached 65mph on the freeway. No one, no mechanic shop or even the dealership could figure out what the cause was. It wasn't until I was brought up my tire getting repaired (with those spray bottles they sell at most gas stations that basically goes into the tire and hardens the inside walls to seal the repair spot where rubber was placed) that someone told me to go change that tire and it will be fixed. I took it to Radial Tire expecting to purchase a used tire and told them my reason why I needed one. They were so nice and told me they could just use a machine they have that sucks that hard stuff out of the tire then properly seal the tire for me. That saved me about $200 . They did just that, made sure all tires were evenly filled with air and told me to take the car onto the frwy. It worked beautifully! So, I'm wondering, if the owners didn't do this... what if someone else drove that owners car, got a flat and did a quick repair without the owners knowledge, therefore not allowing the owner to have the opportunity to mention that to any of the places he/she took their car, which ultimately left them thinking it was an unexplainable issue with the vehicle itself. Just a thought since no I've could figure out the issue. This car is worth the periodic fixes here and there. I'm going to be so sad when it's time to get another.

The CX7 is a beautiful vehicle and that's what drew me in, but man do I regret buying it! This is the car that actually made me hate driving. I bought my CX7 new in 2010 when I had to retire my 2000 Cougar, which I had had for 10 years. I thought the CX7 would be a good fit for me since it kind of seemed like a bigger version of the Cougar! It took about 6 months for me to totally hate the CX7, but I had to keep it for 2 years before finally being able to afford trading it.

I've been driving the CX7 for 2 months. It's been driven through a foot of snow-no problem. Iced over roads- no problem. Heavy rain- no problem. The AWD has performed awesome. The leather interior is very comfortable, sound system is good, and the heated seats are nice. Been getting 19-20 mpg with 50/50 city/highway driving. The turbo is a blast. When I need it to move quickly, it does. Handling is as advertised. So far, it's been great.
LOVE my new CX7!

Just got my new CX7 2 weeks ago, and I'm already a Mazda convert. I test drove 8 models of various cars before I decided on this one. If you live in an urban area, make sure you get the turbo engine for getting on the freeway. The car is nimble and handles really well. The interior is really nice for the price point as well. I test drove the Rogue, Outback, Forrester, Soul, VW Tiguan, etc. The Mazda blew me away and I wasn't expecting much. It is far and away the best performing vehicle in this class, gas mileage could be a bit better, but I'd rather be ALIVE and pay an extra $200 a year in gas money, than be squished beneath a giant truck. Great car, well worth the money!
Great family car with sporty look!

I loved driving the car for long and short distance rides with my wife and 15 month old son. The big light truck tires are exactly what you need on Michigan roads with tons of potholes. The car is quite heavy, but still handling was great in all whether conditions. I was driving on wet streets, in ice and snow (having snow tires) and always felt a bit ahead of the other guys, because the car is very stable.

Took delivery on 10/1, drove it for 3 hours. Acceleration is solid and interior is better than most cars selling for $50K+. Reminds me of the Audi Sedans. WARNING: Rear visibility is poor for first time drivers. Do not play with the stereo buttons at night time, too many buttons to play with. Gas mileage driving @ 80-85mph seems to be around 20-21 mpg. Had my first Mazda in 1991 gave it to my sister in 1995, she drove it til 2003, 150K miles. Mazda engine reputation is solid.
Happy with Mazda

Planned to by a Chevy Equinox but after I test drove the Mazda CX-7 I was torn. After reading many reviews, consumer complaints and recall information Mazda pulled ahead. The Chevy had more creature comforts but the fear of spending that much money on a vehicle that might be a plush piece of crap made me nervous. The Mazda was everything I wanted and needed. It had a solidness to it that felt like quality. Maybe not plush or overdone with gadgets but it had a good simple design and seemed well thought out. I wasn't buying a car that was in every third houses garage. If I wanted to resell, that would help. Plus, every time I did see one going down the road. I smiled. I like how it looks.
Love my car!!

I really love this car! I saw the CX- 7 and loved it! It drives really well and is fun, too. It has all the bells and whistles you could need - Telescoping wheel, outside temp gauge, avg. mpg and speed and much more! The price is right, too. I feel like I got a great deal. Mazda seems to think that they should take care of their customers... hmmm, who does that! I would recommend this car to anyone!
So far I like it

Have only owned this vehicle a little more than a month. Initially was a little concerned that it might be a little underpowered, but that is not the case. Transmission and engine combination seem to get the most in terms of performance and MPG. Handles nicely. Only concern may be the stock tires. They ride ok & no issues so far, but when I replace, would probably look at something with a little wider foot print. Interior nicely laid out and comfortable for up to 4 adults. Stock stereo is decent with a little reduction in bass and treble settings. Back seat legroom is the only area where it's a little tight, but acceptable. All in all, fun to drive and a lot of bang for the buck.
Nice set of wheels

I kwow I have only own the car for 5 days but I believe it is one of the better cross-overs on the road. I test drove the CRV, Tiguon, Rav4, Rouge, Murano, Sportage, EX, Edge, Equinox, Forrester. and the only one that was better was the Infiniti EX, but it was $20,000 more. IT really is a nice car, I recommend at least taking it for a test ride. Its nice inside and out, drives like a car and has room like a suv. The improvements mazda made to the 2010 model also makes it very practical and affordable. All the cars that I mention were more expensive with comparable features and options.I purchased the I Sport with the convenience package. Definitely worth every penny I paid fot the car.

We love the car for all its positives above. Cons: front pillar blind spots and so-so fuel economy. With current fuel prices however, no big deal. *** November 2017 update - since last review the air conditioner had to be replaced at nearly $2,000, with less than 60,000 miles on the vehicle.

Researched and looked at all the rest including Honda, Nissan and Ford. Hands down this is the most bang for the buck. Very impressed. Great looks and very smooth and responsive.

The biggest negatives I can find with the cx7 is the back seat needing more leg room, my a/c isn't the coldest, and when blower is on 3+ it is loud, the ac vents could be a little bigger for more air blow, the black material seats and black thruout the car is very hard to keep clean w/dust particles, and the hard plastic material in the back hatch scratches very easy, and the loud engine when accelerating, head room is a little low, and low ceiling when loading larger items in the back hatch & could use a little more open console room. the pros are it is really comfortable to drive on long trips, turning capablility in a parking spot is awesome, solid ride, decent gas milage on the hwy.

I too have had my car a 1 1/2 months and I luv it! I get more compliments on the color (black cherry!) than anything else. Luv the "handsfree" device. I have the Sport i and it is equipped with Sirus radio, but I opt. not to use it; I use bluetooth audio (connected to my Blkberry) instead, and listen to my Pandora; saves about $12.0 bucks a month. One small draw is the leg room in the back...not good for a tall person.

My Wife and I love are new CX-7. We were very impressed with the performance style. We test drove the Nissan Murano and the Ford Escape but none of the two got are attention like the CX-7 did. For the money you cant beat this SUV. I can honestly say this is really the first car that we just enjoy driving. All I can say is ZOOM ZOOM

Overall, 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).
Do Not Buy This Vehicle

My 2010 Mazda CX-7 blew the turbocharger at 5,600 miles. It took more than a week to repair, and it hasn't run right since. I traded it in, because of concerns for my safety. It's a nicely styled, beautifully appointed car, but after I bought it, I discovered that problems with the turbocharger are relatively common. It also doesn't hold resale value. It was difficult to trade it in, and the whole thing cost me about $9,000.
A no brainer!

Had driven a Mazda 3 hatch for 2 years. Loved the ride, needed more room. Cx-7 was the perfect fit. Best looking in it's class, fun to drive, beautiful interior, peppy engine, decent gas mileage etc. Etc. Perfect car for a Young family. You get it all. The most important things to me were looks, fun ride, gas mileage and storage room and this car has it all! You won't be disappointed!
So so

Unless major repairs have been made to the engine over 100k miles don't buy this car. Had serious engine problems at 120k. Able to fix them but at a high price tag. Poor engineering of the engine can make it costly. My Cx7 is in excellent shape and I would sell it to someone with great confidence in its reliability, however that is only because I have had the fuel system rebuilt and replaced all the coils, spark plugs and busted hydrollic engine mounts.
Great vehicle

Traded a 2007 CX-7 for this car. What an improvement-Quieter, More Supple (less harsh over bumps) Bluetooth. Less Turbo lag. The 2007 was very reliable I expect this to be as well. This is a great value and as much fun as an SUV can be.

I just love my new CX-7! It drives so smooth. It is getting great gas mileage for a suv. I am averaging 25 mpg with combined city and highway driving. The 166 hsp engine has enough pep for my needs. I would recommend taking a look at this vehicle if you are in the market for a suv.
