Haven't bought a CX-7 yet, but I searched the online owner's manual and couldn't find a remote release mechanism inside the vehicle for the tailgate. Are there only two ways to open it by hand and by key fob? If so, please add this to the list of improvements needed. Off topic, regarding the Sirius Satellite system...in the owner's manual it states that the audio system has "the ability to receive up to 100 channels." Sirius offers well over 125 channels so is this just a Mazda system limit or a typo? I tried finding the answer in other CX-7 forums but was unsuccessful. Thanks for your help...

Replying to: roadwarrior6 (Jan 20, 2008 5:51 am) Ummm, people are stupid? Seriously, the CX7's allure is its exterior styling and get up and go, and if that is what is important to you, some of these issues are nit-picking. If you have a lot of city driving however, you don't get to experience much of the fun and you focus on the vehicle's shortcomings, which are described pretty well above. Of course, my CX7 is having lots of mechanical issues that are souring me on it above all else, but still, how do you have a "technology package" that doesn't include bluetooth, ipod integration, and trip computers and includes a very clunky multi-disc CD changer? The issue about the Sirius antenna is also very telling. Having to use the stick on antenna is very low rent. Also, the interior not particularly classy, with too much black and plastic. Again, however, the "fun to drive" component is high, assuming the vehicle isn't in the shop a week at a time. |

Replying to: cx7lover (Jan 16, 2008 3:56 am) I think for the money the engineers at mazda could have done a better job. I also own a Honda CRV-AWD 2007 and that car is much quiter! How do you explain that?

Replying to: johnnybny (Jan 19, 2008 3:31 pm) And the info in the manual is a bit dated. SIRIUS, when added to the NAV, receives the entire channel package. Vince. |

That makes it a girls car. No thanks, but it looked like a nice car until I realized there is no manual shift with a clutch option. The triptonic crap does not do it for a man.....LOL |
