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...

In the Mazda5 thread I called it a "Vanlet" and a lot of people got a real kick out of that name.

It should be similar to US specs but there may, of course, be differences. Key changes do not seem to be worth waiting for.

Take a look at the latest JD Powers report. Mazda is 2nd to last in Initial Quality.
 
CX-7 had subpar ratings too (2 out of 5.....)

Seems a bit odd since Ford did so well this time around.

Well, at least the "Ford" cars had gas caps that worked... That helps.
