Replying to: roadwarrior6 (Jan 20, 2008 5:51 am) Is anyone else having problems with their front seat squeaking? It started last October (when it turned 1 year old). They replaced the entire seat back, under the warranty, on January 9, 2008, and the replacement seat is now squeaking. They told me that I can come back and have a technician ride with me to see if he can hear it, but if he doesn't, I screwed. Replies to this message: cx7lover (Jan 31, 2008 3:45 am)

Replying to: tidester (Jan 26, 2008 10:32 pm) All I am saying is that I am not considering any purchase of a Mazda CX7 unless it has a manual transmission with a clutch. You buy what you want, and I'll buy what I want.

Replying to: njdbonj (Dec 29, 2006 10:00 am) Get it with AWD if you're in the Northern U.S. I have a CX-9 GT AWD and just drove it in heavy snow in Chicago today. I was passing all kinds of cars, vans, pick-up trucks, other SUVs (maybe FWDs?) who were sliding all over and I had no problem. I don't see why some people say the 20" tires in the CX-9 are not good in the snow. Mine seems fine. The ride was tight, no sliding. Replies to this message: wwest (Jul 02, 2008 9:43 am)
#118 of 131 Minor Pet Peeves by caliche67 Feb 05, 2008 (8:19 pm)
On the CX-7, I wish that the Trip Odometer readout was below the Main odometer, and with smaller numbers. When you look at the readouts, the Trip numbers are bigger and on top of the main, which in my opinion is counter-intuitive, making one think that you're looking at the main odometer. On the CX-9 is the other way around, the Main odometer readout above the Trip, which is more cognitive-friendly.   Another pet peeve is the wipers' lever on both the CX-7 & CX-9. You have to move the lever downward if you want increasing wipers speed, and the intermittent rotary switch setting backwards for more frequent actuation. I find this also counter-intuitive. Normally, the wiper lever should be moved upward for increasing speeds and the intermittent rotary switch forward for more frequent actuation.   Minor things but worth noting.   Oh yeah, I also don't like that the "+" and "-" symbols on the manual shifter mode do not illuminate when the lights are on. You have to always remember that the shifter motion forward is for down-shifting and backward is for up-shifting.

Bluetooth and a V6 !   The following should be standard on the base model: Lumbar support adjustment on driver seat Retractable cargo cover   Things to improve: Lighter steering effort at low speed Smoother and less sluggish launch at low speed and stop-n-go (stay in 2nd gear a little longer ?)
