Replying to: triplem1 (Oct 19, 2007 8:31 am) I ended up with the touring, mostly because it was my first Mazda and also my first new car purchase (always purchased used cars prior). At the time I was worried about the extra gadgets malfunctioning. I also felt that the package would be more complete if it included a trip computer (as other Mazdas do) and MP3-capable stereo with RDS. After owning the car for a year I'm a little more confident with the Mazda brand, even though I did experience the ubiquitous CEL problem. Also, I am 6'4" and fit OK. Needless to say if I sit quite upright my head is firmly against the roof (I have the sunroof which also takes away some headroom). Legroom has always seemed fine. I have done several long trips and it is the first car that leaves me wanting to drive more even after a long freeway haul - it's fun to drive! Among the other cars this one is compared to I think only the RDX is in the same league on that point. |

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Oct 20, 2007 11:22 am) I also found that they gave me a new gas cap, but I had no problems with any of the recalls. My intown milage had gone down consideraly..... 14.9mpg but on the hwy........... I get over 24mpg. It was a year old Oct. 5th. Only have 6,000 miles on it but have been on several short trips and love the drive.

Replying to: vbbuilt (Nov 19, 2007 7:59 am) Now, my cx-7, 2007 model AWD sport, it makes clunky noise when i pull it out from the garage from Reverse to 1st gear and then it grinds it from 1st gear to 2nd gear... does anyone have this? I dont think this is normal.... they can test my ABS brakes but what elese they are testing with grinding??? ( gr gr gr gr 2 secs, every freaking morning) |

| I recently bought my cx-7, before i read these posts of course. I have noticed the loud klunk sound on cold starts, reversing out of my drive-way and going from 1st to 2nd gear. I have taken my vehicle into the dealership twice and they say there is no fix and that it is the brakes. Has anyone heard of a fix to the noise? Does anyone know if longterm this could become a serious problem? | |

Replying to: eperez1 (Nov 10, 2008 6:05 am) When you first start out on a cold morning, you might hear some noise because of debrie on the breaks, they are completely exposed to the elements. Even if I had to drive to another town, I would get a second break person to look at them. You might even try a local tire center, You have either Bridgelstone or Goodyear and have them check by pulling the tires and looking at the break set up. Strange noises are not good and should not go unchecked. Good Luck on a better outcome

I have read the manual, look up in the brochures, etc . I cannot find how many quarts of oil are needed with an oil change that includes changing the oil filter also. I called the dealer and the person I talked to was not sure. I have been using Castrol Syntex 5w 30 but this time I am going to try the new Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic. Any response would help.
