Hi everyone, I'm starting some VERY preliminary window shopping for something in the CUV/SUV/ maybe even van realm for when my lease runs out on my Impala. I have not driven one of these, but I love the looks of them. I really do NOT want a truck-like SUV. My cars have always been sedans that (mostly) have been fun to drive and handled really well. I've test driven a few SUV type things that I have crossed off my list as 'no way!' because they handle like a Mack truck. I understand the CX-7's are really fun to drive and you can haul a lot of 'stuff' in them at the same time. However, in reading some reviews and posts, it seems like at least in their first year, they had a lot of issues. Have most of these seemed to clear up? I wouldn't be looking at doing anything probably before early next summer, so probably would be a 2009 model, unless I decided to pick up a year old one and let somebody else take the depreciation hit. Can anyone give me some pros, cons, insights, points to ponder before I go test drive one and get all enamored? Many thanks!  Karen

Replying to: kmauss (Aug 18, 2008 10:35 am) I can tell you that I've owned my CX-7 for almost two years, and have driven it almost 30,000 miles. I have honestly not had a single issue with this vehicle yet--not one. And yes: it is tremendously fun to drive, and very easy to use from a cargo carrying perspective (the easy to fold down rear seats really help). Carl |

| I purchased my 2008 CX7 in December 2007. I have 13k miles on it and have not had one problem (yet). I enjoy the vehicle, the size is perfect for me since I'm the only driver and I don't carry passengers on a daily basis. Would I like to see some changes? Yes. Can I live with it? Yes. Am I happy about the purchase price? Yes. I do know the "zoom, zoom" is going to get me in trouble with the po-po very soon. I'm sorry, on an open road I can't help sometime but to "zoom" in that baby. | |
I have had my CX-7 for 2 years now. I absolutely loathe the smart key. It's unreliable and I have lost three of the manual keys due to faulty design. I lost the third one this morning. They fall out of the card and get lost and Mazda makes ME pay for new ones. Plus 30% of the time the key doesn't even work so I have to dig in my purse and retrieve the keys. Very aggravating.  The service people at the Mazda dealership call it the Stupid key. If you are considering buying this car, I would suggest trying to get it w/out this feature, if possible. Does anyone else have this problem?
