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".

This is great news, but since the CX-7 is not on sale in Germany yet, we have to do the usual "the manufacturer was good with these cars, so maybe the CX-7 will be just as good" inference.
 
Incidentally, the German Mazda site has some interesting info about the CX-7 and what features Deutschland will be getting that the USA did not, at least in 2007:
 
* Germans get turn signal repeaters on the side mirrors (they look great, I might add)
* Germans get available auto-windshield wipers (I wonder if Mazda will get this right - is this their first stab at this technology?)
* Germans get a manual transmission (this fascinates me, although I must admit the auto in my CX-7 is the best I've ever had)
