What is this discussion about? Mazda CX-7, Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Santa Fe, SUV

Article comments for Comparison Test: Small All-Wheel-Drive SUVs - We've gathered three such vehicles for this comparison: the all-new 2006 Toyota RAV4, the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe and the 2007 Mazda CX-7. It'd be uncomplicated to call these three "mini SUVs," but when they're loosely based on midsize sedans Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata and Mazda 6, it'd be more correct to call them midsize crossovers.

Replying to: sssfegy (Dec 09, 2006 10:06 am) The CR-V is better than most other small SUV's in its class when it comes to interior. Those include Tucson/Sportage, Rav4, Escape/Mariner/Tribute, Equinox/Torrent. The interior is simple and I think it is also a bit classy. It has nice plastics, very good leather, it has more room than you think inside. The exterior on the other hand is up to the beholder. I happen to like it, some people hate it (although I am not in love with it). As said in other posts, it is not super powerful (not like the RDX, or CX-7) but it is fine for highway merging and cruising. I do think that what helps it sell is because it is a Honda, but what is the problem with that, it is a good car. It has great quality, and you can not forget about the resale value. Compared to its biggest competitor, the Rav4, it is a great value. The Outlander, the Santa Fe, the CX-7, and the CR-V are all good buys, it just is up to your priorities in a car.

Replying to: vbbuilt (Aug 30, 2006 11:39 am) Understand that the lst of October the 2007 Santa Fe has XM Radio. For me it would just be another bill in the mail and I just use the MP3 feature as both of our vehicles can play MP3s.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Dec 09, 2006 7:00 am) acura version already has a turbo 4, so unless it moves to something else, i don't see a change in power for the cr-v.

See that the new Ford Edge puts out 265 horses + has 250 foot pounds of torque. It also has a new 6 speed automatic transmission. Replies to this message: piast (Dec 10, 2006 11:04 am) carfreak8 (Dec 10, 2006 2:17 pm) carfreak8 (Dec 10, 2006 5:28 pm)
#100 of 151 New Crossovers by srdriver Dec 10, 2006 (9:30 am)
Looks like both this year and next year will be the years of the Crossovers with many coming on the market! It also looks like GM will stop production of the minivan in favor of the Crossover!

Replying to: carfreak8 (Dec 09, 2006 1:31 pm) Looks like you want to have last sentence in any discussion. Problem is you don't bring anything new with it, other that "I don't like this or that","I know people who were not impress",etc. We are not taking here about last generations of Galant, Montero, Passport, CRV or Accord. Nether of them was impressive (in BMW or Porsche performance or Lexus finish way). We are comparing 07 CUV's, their values, sizes, performance, pros and cons. Exteriors and interiors is strictly personal. So, I hope all your friends are now impressed with your new CRV. And before you judge any car, you should go out and test it, not only look at the pictures. Replies to this message: carfreak8 (Dec 10, 2006 1:52 pm)
