Replying to: aviboy97 (Apr 16, 2007 11:06 am) Is the PCM flash a mid-term update ? Has Mazda included it in the service bulletin to apply on all CX-7 ? I took out a rental last weekend with 14,000km on it and I did notice some sluggishness in take off, same as in the test drive I had many months ago when the CX-7 first arrived at the dealership. I am not sure if my rental has the PCM flash yet, and I am wondering if I buy a new one now, would it be any better ?

Replying to: audia8q (May 10, 2007 11:30 am) Take a look at the 2007 CX-7 Spec deck, you will notice it says "Required Fuel...91 Octane (Premium)" The 2008 CX-7 says "Fuel Recommended...91 Octane (Premium)"...Big big difference.

Replying to: aviboy97 (May 10, 2007 1:36 pm) So Aviboy, what do you attribute to the difference in the language? Could it be that Mazda has modified the engine so that premium is recommended vice Or could it be Mazda isn't going to modify the engine but the engineers and management have determined premium isn't as critical as they originally surmised? I have no insight at this point, just conjecture, but it'll be interesting to compare the specs between 07 and 08. Vince.
