Just purchased a Mazda cx7 and I just can't enough about this car! IF I had known about this car , I would have bought it brand new!! It has exceeded all my expectations.

I'm one of the too many very unhappy CX7 owners. Simply go to the Mazda CX7 forum on Edmunds and hear all the owner nightmare stories directly.

2012 Mazda CX7 I Touring

Fun to drive and is very comfortable on long trips. Gas milage holds true to MPG ratings. Mazda is very slow on their recalls. Still waiting for the parts for the front idler arm/ball joint replacement from October 2016 (today is 6-30-2017). Also waiting to have the air bags replaced since March 2017. Besides that, it has held up well.

This car has ensured I'll never buy a Mazda again. Bad: creaks and sways during normal driving cheapest interior I've ever seen on a vehicle 4cyl struggles to bring this beast to speed poor MPG due to weight and drive train pairing Headlights are a nightmare to replace AC is under powered and struggles even harder while accelerating No modern tech besides Bluetooth connectivity. The sloped A pillar and high driving position makes entering and exiting the vehicle annoying (5'9" or taller) brakes and gas pedal have large dead zones and make for unpleasant starts and stops. Good: cheap suv lots of working space in engine bay Rear hatch storage Do some serious research and test driving before getting one. I've not seen this miserable of a car since the mid 90's Saturn sedans.
