My cx7 has 117,000 MI. and has been extremely reliable. It is more fun to drive than the competing other brands. Have been very pleased with it.
Ride is so smooth

Not A Wonderful Vehicle

Bought our CX7 in August 2011 new, vehicle now has 10,000 miles. CX7 is a big disappointment. AC not adequate, turbo hesitates, paint job brilliant black is inferior and gas mileage poor. Complained to Mazda and after BBB intervention Mazda extended the warranty. Gave this vehicle to our daughter who is in graduate school. Vehicle has 27000 (8/2017) and is well maintained and detailed every 4 months. On 8/10/16 NHTSA sent recall notice 16V593. "Water may enter the front suspension ball joint fitting. Driving on roadways during the winter months in areas that use roadway salts (Phila., PA) can lead to salt and water intrusion into the ball joint, causing corrosion, which can result in loosened of the ball joint in the fitting. As a result of the looseness, a rattle may occur at the lower control arm ball joint. After intended operation in this condition, in the worst case the ball joint and lower control arm may separate". SAFETY RISK: "The vehicle may experience significant loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash". REMEDY: "Dealers will replace the lower control arms". RECALL STATUS: "Recall INCOMPLETE. Remedy not yet available". Contacted Mazda and they will get back to me in mid September. Unable to sell car if I wanted to do to open recall. Simply frustrated and disgusted with Mazda. Trying to sell this vehicle and unable to trade in due to open recall. On 8/30/17 this vehicle only has 27000 miles. Mazda has still not addressed this recall. Contacted Mazda June 2017 and "REMEDY" is not in place. Contacted NHTSA and they have done nothing to get Mazda to honor recall. Just purchased a 2013 Honda CRV (8/2013) base model, because we were not sure we would want to keep it long haul. The Honda is trouble free. AC is wonderful, vehicle is well built and solid. Only have 2,000 miles, but can not say enough positive things about our CRV. The paint job Twilight blue is excellent. The gas mileage is 18 city 30 highway as tracked on computer. Honda continues to be a great vehicle, now (8/2017) has 32000 miles with no problems. Regularly serviced and detailed every 4 months. Replaced CX 7 with a Lexus RX 350, new 2017 and really enjoy this vehicle. No problems just pleasure.

Spiders may Block Fuel Tank Vent Line

Attention MAZDA / 2010-2012 owners Mazda North America Operations has issued a NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 14V114 stating that yes "Spiders may Block Fuel Tank Vent Line". I only have 13,000 miles on my CX-7 GT and believe me Mazda should be addressing the Turbo problem, AC problem and braking problem. Spiders, give me a break. As I said in my prior comment bought a 2013 Honda CR-V base am very pleased with it and just ordered a 2014 Honda CR-V EXL. I still love the styling of my CX-7, but that is about all. Drove CX-5 and extremely disappointed.
Big Mistake

Wish we never bought this vehicle. Very disappointed in the "tinnyness" of the car. Light, noisy (especially in the rain) and uncomfortable to drive for someone over 6'. Very poor visibility with bulky headrests and smaller windows. Dash trim fit poor. Poor acceleration with any weight on board. My recommendation is to drive it for a day (wish we did) before purchase. I indicated good reliability, but too early to tell (2500mi). After driving VW for 20 yrs, thought we try something different. Oops.
