Re: Will a bike fit in the back of the cx-7? [laptev] by johnny__rf

I've had a kids bike in the back by lowering the rear seats and removing the cargo cover. Not sure about a full size bike, but I would bet against it. Bring your bike to a Mazda dealership and see if it works......I had a CRV prior to the CX-7 and the cx has much less cargo space and the rear opening is a lot smaller......

Rear Hatch Rattle by kmr5

I could not find any previous comments on this, but I have noticed a rattle coming from my rear hatch when driving at speeds greater than 60 mph. Some days are worse than others. I can not find any obvious answers, but since it only happens at high speeds, I am thinking the wind has something to do with it. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem?

I'm thrilled with the looks of the Mazda CX-7. I've always read that most cars can run on regular gas, even if the car manufacturer states premium. With the price of gas,does anyone know if the CX-7 can run normally on regular gas. Mazda said it requires premium gas. willing to sacrifice a little performance. Richard rifrbestaol.com

It's never a good idea to rely solely on the knock sensor to retard the timing (and spare your engine from pre-detonation)of a vehicle that's designed to run differently.

There is no such thing as pre-detonation.
 
There is Detonation.
There is Pre-ignition.
 
VERY different things.
 
Other than that, I agree with the post, particularly true on a turbo engine.
 
I don't go along with "never" on naturally aspirated engines.

If you're worried about gas prices, buy a cheaper vehicle that takes regular. Why spend so much money on this car just to save a couple hundred (if that) a year on gas?

Concur. Plain and simple, if the buyer's primary consideration is MPG and rising gas prices, then the CX-7 is NOT for that buyer.

In fact I'd recommend a Mazda5. It's their budget alternative, and shares a platform. The non-turbo 2.3l takes regular and you can carry 6 people.
 
Practical little bugger, too.
 
Off the line, it's a smidge quicker than the CX7, because it's lighter and there's no waiting for a turbo to spool up. The CX7 will pass soon after launch, but the Mazda5 steps off nicely. It's also more nimble that one might think.
 
That or a Mazda3s.

Yep, true enough...but....it's one of those ubiquitous Mommy coaches, a VAN!!! IMHO, it's the least attractive of the Mazda line-up...
