Replying to: papercut (Mar 16, 2007 8:54 pm) Ok, reality check! Now, that's something to TRULY gripe about. Put into context, I guess Americans really do gripe about the most trivial, silly things huh? Even gasoline is a lot more expensive over there, than here. So even our concerns over MPG pale in comparison to the what you're experiencing! I know you'll enjoy it! and WELCOME to the forums! Vince |

Replying to: papercut (Mar 16, 2007 8:54 pm) With this being so new of an engine, I say just use the best gasoline available, {upper tier brands that BMW recommends, as well as Mercedes} and change the oil regularly. Do that and you should do just fine! Welcome aboard, and Zoom Zooooom!

Being about a 4,000 pound vehicle, do you think there might be more CX-7 sales if a 6-cylinder engine was available? Bud H

I might actually have forgiven the fugly, uncomfortable back seats if Mazda had put in a 6 cyl. (note I drove Mazdas for 12 years previous before purchasing my Murano - was very sad about the choices the Mazda marketing folks made with the CX-7).

Replying to: ctx (Mar 20, 2007 6:27 pm) I never realized that design of the backseats, from an aesthetics point of view, was ever a consideration of some people....front seat, maybe... but the back seats? Hmmm, go figure. I'm single, so I don't sit in the back seats...just toss my gym bag there. But your points about the 4 cylinder are worth noting...I've outgunned Muranos on more than one occasion Good luck with your choices! Vince.

Replying to: vbbuilt (Mar 21, 2007 3:22 am)  . I think I posted this a long time ago in a galaxy far away - but I came from a tiny two seater so the addition of the back seat was VERY important to me (even though, like you, I am single. The back seats get used by my coworkers and that is primarily it.  . The CX-7s were just not that luxurious imho (in an otherwise very nice looking car).

Replying to: ctx (Mar 21, 2007 2:33 pm) I was merely amused by your choice of terms. When you coined that term for the back seats, I immediately flashed to the Pontiac Aztec... Now, that's FUGLY!  So, the CX-7's back seats, although will never get a design award, certainly aren't that hideous? As compared to something nauseous like the Aztec? LOL. BTW, I never considered the CX-7 luxurious.... For luxurious, I'd go with a Bentley or a Rolls Royce or even a Lexus LS 460 L. For me, CX-7 has just enough amenities and sportiness to fit my budget. Vince. |

Replying to: budh (Mar 20, 2007 6:13 pm) Plus, the CX9 gets 16/22 mpg with AWD, would you really want a CX7 that got poor mileage like that?

Replying to: ateixeira (Mar 22, 2007 6:42 am) As far as mileage, the CX9 is only 2 mpg worse than the CX7, and at 600 lbs less, I would bet the CX7 with the same V6 would get the same mileage it does now, if not better (and judging by the mileage complaints with the turbo, I really do think better mileage with the V6 would be a distinct possibility).
