#596 of 746 Re: CR recommends CX-7 [aviboy97] by derrickson Oct 23, 2008 (12:39 pm)
Replying to: aviboy97 (Oct 23, 2008 12:25 pm) Great news, Consumer Reports now recommends 08 CX-7's!   Yikes! Just barely though... lowest rated = 52 out of 100 highest rated = 87 out of 100 CX-7 rated....62 out of 100   owner satisfaction = 'Poor' maybe that's a result of all the turbo/engine problems the 07's had   had 'excellent' ratings for crash tests & braking though!

Replying to: derrickson (Oct 23, 2008 12:39 pm) Those ratings are related to their observations on how it carries out every day tasks how they see fit. They have nothing to do with reliability.   Some past, and current vehicles that are top rated by them are not always recommended....

Replying to: derrickson (Oct 23, 2008 12:39 pm) Well, it IS Consumer Reports....Hyundai must just have bid more this year
#599 of 746 Fog lamp installation for a 08 CX-7 by fishhoppa Oct 27, 2008 (2:32 pm)
Does anyone know what the approx labor $ would be to have Mazda service install the OEM fog lamps for an 08 cx-7?   I've been quoted two wildly different labor costs from two local dealers. Dealer A quoted $200 and Dealer B quoted $365. Both dealer service centers admitted to never having done this installation before, so should I be wary? Thanks!
#600 of 746 Help with pricing/purchase by js59 Oct 27, 2008 (7:20 pm)
I am in the market for a CX7 - AWD - and would like some info on what to expect to pay for either model (grand touring or sport) - . The first offer thus far was 29k out the door price for a grand touring - 2008 AWD and 20K for sport - but this didn't include taxes, etc. I am attempting to determine what would be a realistic discount/price - .

Replying to: js59 (Oct 27, 2008 7:20 pm) We are going to need more info....the sticker price is ok, but a list of options and the sticker price will let us generate invoice, and from there we can get an idea of the incentives that may be available. Also- buying or leasing? Replies to this message: js59 (Oct 28, 2008 7:06 am)

Replying to: supershawn (Oct 27, 2008 9:54 pm) The grand touring had many extras: sunroof, leather, GPS, backup camera, heated front seats - and the sport was the basic package - . Looked online only incentive I could find was 0% financing but then they claimed they wouldn't "deal" - the "sale" price was $27,500 - (approx) and out the door was $29,000 - . So I am considering possibly the sport model - thanks
#603 of 746 GT vs Sport by slippert Oct 28, 2008 (7:56 am)
I have the GT with Tech package and can't imagine NOT having all the extras. The extras are what make the car so special, IMHO. Replies to this message: derrickson (Oct 28, 2008 8:23 am) supershawn (Oct 28, 2008 11:52 am)

Replying to: slippert (Oct 28, 2008 7:56 am) The extras are what make the car so special, IMHO.   Ok... I'll humbly chime in on this... Seems like this is a very subjective topic, based on many personal factors. I know for me, the absolute basic sport model has everything I need from a vehicle, and then some! I could list all the std features here, but figure you get the idea.   Considering I paid $17k, I figure I can do a lot with the $5-10K saved by not getting the other models, passing on the sunroof, navi, backup sensor, heated seats(?? Im in Texas!), etc. For me, that I was able to purchase a new 08 zoom-zoom mobile for about the price of a loaded Toyota Corolla makes my purchase plenty special!               Congrats on your GT though!

Replying to: derrickson (Oct 28, 2008 8:23 am) You know, I am actually right there with you. We are living in a material world, and I am a material girl....errrr boy...errr, actually man. I like my Bimmer that does everything for me based on my liking based on my key, and the same thing for my wife when she uses her key (seats, mirrors, etc, before I can get the door open). The Yukon we sold when we purchased the CX-7 was pretty much just as loaded (although not as smart). When she agreed on the CX-7 (I was trying to help her narrow down choices based on residual, etc), she was fine with the Sport. I considered this the "base" model, although, to be fair, it's not badly equipped. I tried to show her others, but she didn't care. She got just what she wanted (well, we did get a power seat a few other minor options). At first, I was trying not to notice the lack of a dead pedal, the fact I had to actually turn on the headlights and windshield wipers (as if!), but then I started breaking it down. She's got a sweet ride that's only a few ticks slower than my Bimmer, and she pays a little over $200 a month on the lease. She honestly had a higher monthly payment for her first car, a 1998 Chevy Cavalier! (new at the time). Would my rear end rather be in a leather Recaro seat? Sure. But for "Bang for the buck", anyone that doesn't give the CX-7 a chance is being foolish.
