#82 of 131 AWD worth it? by njdbonj Dec 29, 2006 (10:00 am)
I am considering purchasing a cx-9. Many features are identical. I am wondering from those of you who have cx-7s, do you think the $1200 is worth it for the AWD or can I do without it considering the traction control, stability control, EBD all come on the FWD?

Replying to: njdbonj (Dec 29, 2006 10:00 am) Well, I doubt any of us own BOTH an AWD AND a FWD, so I'd bet we've all made our decisions and believe that we're right. I only get 2-3 ice days a year, but still felt like the AWD was worth it. On the other hand, some of my neighbors in North Texas might think it's overkill... To each his own.   What part of the country do you live in? Weather is really the biggest and maybe only factor that I can see for choosing the AWD. Even the FWD would do fine on dirt roads, unless it rains a lot and they turn to muck.

Replying to: matrsoskin (Dec 28, 2006 3:51 pm) No Matroskin, I was countering all your CX-7 "downsides" originally. YOU were the one to compare it to the BMW when you said you bought one INSTEAD of the CX-7 because blah blah blah.   As for reliability, I can clearly see the BMW has some issues, according to both JD Powers and Consumer Reports ratings. If you cannot, your ignorance is bliss and more power to ya. Sometimes it's better that way from a "why I spent X dollar more for this car vs. that one".   Good luck with your new car (not being sarcastic). We should ALL enjoy our new cars.

Replying to: cxrabbit (Dec 29, 2006 8:51 pm) Happy New Year, cxrabbit!   http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=118989?tid=edmun- ds.il.home.photopanel..2.*   Please find above a link to the recent Edmunds 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander full-test article. It states that Mitsu V6 has averaged 18.6 mpg, Toyota RAV4 V6-19.3 mpg, and Mazda CX-7 only 16.6 mpg.   It supports my notion, as well as erhayes on this forum, that CX-7 gas mileage is not up to par.   Cheers Replies to this message: cxrabbit (Jan 04, 2007 8:00 pm)

Replying to: matrsoskin (Jan 04, 2007 12:19 pm) LOL considering I just got a little better than 18 (18.18 to be exact) I'm not too worried. With ANY Turbo it's going to matter more how you drive it than non-Turbo cars.   BTW, did you hear, Business Week votes the CX-7 one of the best products for 2006? http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/12/1207_bestproducts/source/4.htm   BTW, I didn't hear the BMW mentioned in your list   Happy New Year!

Replying to: ex_tdier (Dec 16, 2006 11:27 pm) "TomTom or Garmin Nuvi" I feel like a lot of people are split on this one. It depends on what you are looking for. I used to be back and forth between these two but now that TomTom updated it's north american maps I would def go with TT. I would do either the TT 510 or 910 if you are looking for the best possible gps for the least amount of money!

Replying to: wjbushsr (Jul 14, 2006 6:46 pm) I've owned my CX-7 for almost a month, and these are the things I wish it had: Speedometer Calibration at lower speeds iPod Integration Rear Vents for heater & AC Lighted Vanity Mirrors Passenger Seat Automatic Controls Center Storage Compartment - ditch it. (an open space there would be leg room for the middle person in the back and a spot for purses).   Even with all that, when it comes to driving & handling & zoom-zoom, it rocks!!
