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

2008 Mazda CX-7 Specifications and Features for *CANADA*
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.

Keep in mind the IQ study only covers the first 90 days of ownership, when you're under warranty for everything anyway. It's not usually a good forecast for longevity on a vehicle.
 
I prefer their Durability study, which looks at 5 year old models.

Reliability is not a concern of mine as I have leased my cx-7 (although the 2 trips to the dealer for CEL were a pain)
 
I have a 3 year lease with 45K miles so I'll be out of warranty. That does concern me. I guess I should have gone 2 year with 30K miles........

Check engine lights alone could have caused a score like that.
 
I agree that the durability study is a much better indicator.

I drive mine forever so I guess reliability is more of a concern, but either way, having to go to the dealer for non-scheduled maintenance is a pain.
 
Actually, going in for normal maintenance is a big pain too.

.91 problems per vehicle
1.63 problems per vehicle
 
The difference between 1st place and Mazda.
 
I'd prefer to be in 1st place, however, the differences in Initial Quality are an insignificant factor in choice of a vehicle.
 
Statistically you will have zero problems if you are lucky and 2 problems if you get a "lemon".
