Big Mistake
chipreader, 09/08/2012
2012 Mazda CX-7 i SV 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 5A)
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.
Most Reliable Car I ever owned - EVER

2012 Mazda CX-7 i SV 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 5A)
Zero maintenance required except tires and oil changes. Original brakes still at 93K miles. Bought it new and have had no trouble. Cabin comfort and noise is average but not a problem. My previous car was a Lexus ES300 and this car is more reliable.
