Replying to: aviboy97 (Jun 14, 2006 9:52 am) I think the dealership is partly to blame with the GM vehicle, they can't come up with a paper trail for the warranty replacement transmission, pretty sure they rebuilt it from extremely worn parts, possibly junk parts considering the amount of metal fatigue on some of the internal parts of the last transmission. The after market rebuild with new parts seems to be doing really well.. so far

I live in Colorado and am still awaiting my the CX-7. I am starting to wonder why it has taken so long. My dealer said ten days as of about fourteen days ago.  There is still no sign of this vehicle. Any ideas why it is taking so long? Thanks |

I didn't bash Mazda, if fact if you read my posts I rather like them....but I am not shelling out $30K on a car that I have an issue with....and whether I can afford it or not is not the issue.....I have yet to go to another dealership and try out another CX-7 to see if the issue is still there.....and I plan to.....before I make a final judgement. But as you, I reserve the right to compare other makes and models before making a decision. You made your decision, good for you, that doesn't mean it will work for me.....I'm glad you like your CX-7....but with my limited experience with Mazda as you say must mean I am out in left field....huh?

Replying to: mldj98 (Jun 15, 2006 12:04 pm) The reason I took you to task over the A/C in the first place is that your claim (while I'm not saying is wrong) cannot be used to classify all mazdas. The weather here in Ohio hit 95 F and was extremely humid, my CX-7 had no problems cooling down the entire car within a few minutes after it had been in the sun most of the day. Your original post set things up as if Mazda has some kind of chronic a/c problems, which since there isn't hundreds of posts on here claiming Mazda's a/c doesn't work simply isn't the case. Your post was misleading. "Here is the deal breaker for me.....the A/C is just unacceptable, period! I live in Central Florida....it was about mid-day 2pm, 95 degress, sticky, normal Florida weather.....anyway, the salesman started the car and let it run for about 3 minutes, A/C set at 60 degress....the fan was blowing hard, and on re-circ..... When we got in to take it for a spin I expected the air to be blowing frosty air....I did not expect the entire car to be cold, but at least the air coming from the vents should have been blowing frosty air by now....but no go on that! Did not say anything to the salesman, we left for the test drive.....a good 15 mintues later after we got back to the dealership I put my hand right up against the vents to feel how cold the air was, and it was luke cool at best....now remember, the A/C had been set at 60 degrees and still blowing full blast the entire test drive.....still nothing, no cold air..... To be fair, I said lets check another one to see if it does the same thing.....maybe the one we drove the first time had an issue......well we did the exact same thing in the second one (sport model) as we did in the first one....A/C was set the exact same, test drive was the exact same route.....but the results were the same! And here in FLorida, A/C is everthing! May not be as big an issue up in the northern states, but I know it can get quite warm up there in the summer time as well..... Mazda has been having A/C issues in its car for a while now....like in the Mazda3....since 2004 they have had this issue.....have read numerous complaints about this....I just thought that coming out with a brand new model they would have solved this issue.....it's obvious they have not! So the CX-7 is now off my list.....buyers be ware! "

Went to Brown's Fairfax Mazda in Fairfax, Virginia and got mine on Friday 6/30/06 and I'm ecstatic! I absolutely love it! Mine's the Copper Red with Sand Leather, Tech Package, Sirius radio, Autodim Mirror, front/rear splash guards. My previous SUV was a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe, their top-of-line model - which I had an after-market NAV system and XM Commander installed. It too, had mediocre MPG, so when I upgraded to the CX-7, MPG wasn't a concern. I never had any problems with Santa Fe and it too was very fast, but Hyundai doesn't hold a candle to the CX7! I paid MSRP: 28,000 for the basic vehicle, 4,005 for the Tech Package, 175 for the autodim mirror, 430 for Sirius, and 95 for the splash guards and 560 for delivery, processing, and handling fees. 33,265 out the door. Was able to get financing for 4.4% The sound system is AWESOME (also love how tightly integrated the NAV system is with the Sirius), the fit/finish is superior, the acceleration is FAST, and it hugs the road. It was 93 degrees yesterday and the A/C proved capable of cooling the car quickly. I also think the Auto-Lock feature is the neatest thing since sliced cheese! Just checked their inventory, on their website - shows 34 CX-7's in stock. Don't know if they're all physically present on the lot or if that figure reflects a mixture of vehicles on-hand plus those in transit. When I picked up mine 6 days ago, they had 10 on their lot.

Hi everyone. I just purchased my CX-7 today. The grand total price was $31,785. I got the Grand Touring trim with the Technology package; sand leather interior; moonroof deflector; and autodim/compass/homelink rearview mirror. The color is copper red. My APR will be 5.95% I'm not getting the car til August because I still have a month left on the lease of my current car. They are offering me a 6 year/100,000 mile warranty for $1694. It covers just about everyhing imaginable. What are everyone's thoughts about this? Also- does anyone have any input regarding paint sealant? They were pushing that really, really hard. The cost is $379. Worth it? A gimmick? If anyone's done this or has any feedback - positive or negative - I would GREATLY appreciate it. I'm very excited to get the car. I feel like I'm getting a lot for my money and can't wait til it arrives! Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

FINALLY!!! Just got the call from the dealer today! It finally showed up after ordering in December. I'm a loyal Mazda fan, this is my 6th in five years! It's going to be really tough letting go my 02 Milli S, but this will be sweet! Now I hope that I don't get the run around on the price! AWD, Copper red with NAV system. The dealer is advertising up to $2900 off, here in the Boston area, has anyone seen these types of discounts out there? This will bring it close to dealer invoice from what I can see, based upon what I ordered.
