Received a call from Mazda the other day asking if I would be willing to participate in a survey and said yes. Yesterday received a questionnaire on line which was rather detailed mostly about problems that I may have found and under what conditions did I find them, meaning how many miles did the car have when problem arose, etc. Found that my particular problem regarding shift points may have to do with how warm the engine was when I manually shifted because the selected shift points were not correct for the way I drive. The question was asked If the engine was cold, meaning having been driven for less than 15 mins. after sitting for six or more hours. I told them I would review it more carefully and see if I felt that I had to manually shift when the engine was warmer. They also wanted to know what improvements might be needed. SOOOOooooo.... I am asking the moderator to open a new section for suggestions. I will review them and pass them on to Mazda. NMK

Nov. 5th is our first month aniversary. Last month we went on a vacation in the CX-7 and drove all over the state of AR. Talk about fun to drive. We love everything about the CX-7. The styling, inside and out. The seats are really comfortable. Plenty of power to pass especially on back roads which came in handy more than once. The most pleasant surprise was the gas mileage for the whole trip. We drove a total of 1596 miles and used 63.gallons. We averaged right at 25mpg over all. The low on the trip was 21.7mpg. We had over 25mpg on several tanks. The breaks are extremely good, it handles like a sport car but has the space of an SUV. We also own a 2006 Honda Ridgeline and love it also. It doesn't make the mileage that the CX-7 does. Over all one needs to consider your needs and take a hard look at the CX-7. It is truly a new and great choice for small families or retired folks like us.

We have the 2007 CX-7 Grand Touring with Technology Package,Sirius Satellite Radio, Compass/auto-dim mirror with home link, Preferred Equip.Package, Splash Guards front and back with the 2WD. We have the AWD with our Honda RTL/SR Ridgeline Truck. It gives us the best of both worlds. We really love the CX-7 which is more fun to drive, especially when you consider we gave up a 1986 300ZX with 60,000 miles in mint condition. I posted earlier that we had made just over 25mpg on a 1596 mile trip. Tonight I filled up the CX-7 with all in town heavily congested traffic and still made 18.2mpg. My wife is estatic over the CX-7. She is starting to drive it more and more and gain confidence. The technology package was a little over the top for both of us, but we are learning the navigation system. |

I was weary of buying a Mazda. Not for any particular reason, but after owning Nissans, Acuras, and Hondas, i always thought Mazda to be the lesser of those brands. WRONG. I bought mine the 1st week of Sept. The week before i went to the Acura dealer to buy an RDX. They wouldnt budge from the sticker, so I wouldnt buy it. I discovered the CX-7 and its blown my mind since. Grand Touring w/bose n sun,black cherry on beige, right now I have mud flaps, hood visor, cargo strip on the bumper, compass w/homelink, and waiting for roof rack & ski carrier. I couldnt be happier. 1500k miles on, and its a charm. For the money, this vehicle cannot be beat. CANNOT BE BEAT. i bought mine at invoice of 28,500, which blew the Acura away, has the same features, better steering and breaking, and neck snapping looks. Its a beautiful blend of Car and SUV. So far ive had no problems what so ever. Cheers to Mazda for this one

Replying to: cx7redic (Nov 08, 2006 12:31 pm) Now, just so you know, don't be surprised if the CEL pops on. Well documented elsewhere on this forum, is a problem with the Gas Cap. Defective design and a simple fix - dealer replaces under warranty. Everyone who's posted about that problem has also commented that Mazda service, regardless of where they live, have been superb. To me, top notch service is worth it's weight in gold. Vince. |

whats funny is my check engine light did come on, around 700miles, but it wasnt for the gas cap or anything like that. THey told me it was just an erratic sensor reading. my only suggestion or rather observation, is that at 60-65 mph, i get the feeling the engine is in no-mans land, nto sure if it wants to speed up or slow down, but i never feel like it runs steady and even without wanted to shift. Once at 70-75 it feels much more compfortable and steady. Anyone notice this?
