Pros: What do you like about 2007 Mazda CX-7?
Comfortable driving position with enough power to get you out of trouble.
Certainly enough room with rear seats down to accommodate luggage for a Snowbird flying south.
Useful storage between drivers and passengers seat except some misguided designer put a power outlet in there instead of at the rear.
Bonus ...18 inch wheels.
Front windshield wiper works very well but needs longer time periods for mist.
Love the rear seat fold flat releases..top marks for that.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Mazda CX-7?
I obviously have the cheap version ..Air control is truly lousy as when stationary hot air pours in if you don't have the AC on...also engine smells comes in with it. No rear passenger or cargo area 12 volt outlet(Come on Mazda get with it). Premium fuel..a V6 would be a better package. No outside air temp. (good to know when it is freezing). The inside ledge you have to lift your feet over to get in (not appreciated by ladies with high boots or heels). INSTRUMENT VIEWING...NON EXISTENT on a cloudy day or with the sun in front. Should have a modern digital & switchable MPH - KM as the scales are really pathetic. Braking...if you are a little old lady you are in trouble hopefully the airbags will save you.
Don't keep any cans of soft drinks on board if you are driving on less than perfect roads or they will explode on opening.
Definitely an SUV that needs back up warning system AS STANDARD !!!!! also...guess where my front bumper is..forward parking is a guessing game just like the rear and I am an over 6 ft driver.
Wind shield wiper does not have a long enough delays for different rain conditions..(Try looking at a Chrysler Pacifica control system)

2007 Mazda CX-7 Review:
I like both the pugnacious look of Mazda CX-7 and driving it on GOOD roads..it handles very well for a somewhat aggressive driver like myself but sure gives your liver a kick on rougher roads. Certainly a nice sized luggage section if you lower the rear seats. I hope my Air compressor holds up after reading about so many complaints of failures. The basic air controls really suck .....an investment in digital control package is a must but should be standard these days. For a first try Mazda it's not bad but really needs refining without costing an arm and a leg. The CX-9 is much better but you had better have a good income to afford one !!!!

Great feel and performance. Performs like a sports car and handles extremely well.
Great sounding Bose Sound System

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Mazda CX-7?
Not very happy with Tire Wear. I have 50,000 Km on it and I am sure I will be replacing tires before the winter. Never had to replace this soon. Turbo lag is evident.
Check Engine Light has come on at least 5 times..EVAP problem.
Intelligent Key System...not very intelligent. Replaced both Key Packs, does not lock when doors close consistently. Been a pain in butt!!

2007 Mazda CX-7 Review:
Overall the CX-7 has been a fun to drive suv that handles like a sports car. Great performance and awesome looks. Some minor irritations which really have not dampened my enthusiasm for the vehicle.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Mazda CX-7?
With me it is form then function. It is a looker (copper red) and the engine is fast when you need the reserve power unlike the Rav4 and CR-V that I drove. I got the 2 wheel drive (maybe 1 big snow in SW Ohio) and no sunroof and leather heated seats for about $24,000. I am pleased. I have a GPS that I move to different vehicles. Plenty of room in the rear. The driver sit high and can see the road well.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Mazda CX-7?
Shifter is confusing and takes a little to get used to.
Too easy to get into manual when not intended.
Should have lighted vanity mirrors, auto door locks and auto headlights on all of the models.

2007 Mazda CX-7 Review:
I drove the Honda '07 CR-V and the Toyota '07 Rav4 and did not like the lack of power for passing. I was coming from a PT Cruiser turbo and wanted similar power. Gas mileage is not as good as the others, and it uses premium, but that was not a big consideration for me as I drive it less than 9,000 miles a year.

2007 Mazda CX-7 Review:
Overall fun to drive, puts a smile on your face. But there are some issues with 1st and 2nd model years. Mine has had the AWD transfer case replaced 3 times (about every 5000 miles) currently mine is at 22000 miles. I have read posts in forums on the internet and there are several other owners having the same transfer case problem. Not so sure about the reliability of the CX-7 at this time.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Mazda CX-7?
Change steering adjustment lever, too hard to use.
Regular fuel.
Tire pressure sensors seem to be overly sensitive, but probably a good thing.
Rear washer not very effective.
Heated cloth seats, everyone likes leather but is as uncomfortable as cheap vinal.

2007 Mazda CX-7 Review:
I love the car during a recent snow/ice storm in Denver the AWD traction control never came on unless I pushed hard. Very stable and safe feeling on ice and snow. The milage is increasing as I've added miles, up to about 3500 now and very happy. Drove to Iowa and the seats were comfortable for the long drive and the power adjustment gives good positioning. I would like more adjustment for lumbar support.

Just picked up my 2007 last week and I love it.
Has plenty of power and the interior is nice and roomy.
Needed a car that can haul my musical equipment, but did not want a utility looking vehicle. This CX7 fits the bill.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Mazda CX-7?
Reg unleaded instead of premium.
Navigation/Audio system lacking input for Satellite and Ipods.
Still too new to know about mileage.
Better quality material for interior.
V6 instead of turbo.
Power outlet in the rear passenger seats.

2007 Mazda CX-7 Review:
WE HAVE OWNED MAZDAS SINCE 92. WE NOW OWN 3. CX-7 TWO MONTHS OLD AND 5000 MILES, VERY EUROPEAN IN FEEL AND TECHNICAL ABILITY, FORD NEEDS TO FESS UP ON WHAT A GREAT ASSEST MAZDA TECHNOLOGY IS FOR THEM, YOU SEE WHERE THEIR ARROGANCE HAS GOTTEN THEM. I HAD A MAZDA 626,93 MODEL, IT HAD 400,000 MILES, THE ONLY PROBLEM I EVER HAD WAS WITH THE TRANS., IT WAS A FORD TRANS. THE 2.0 LITER ALL ALUMINUM ENGINE IN IT IS THE SAME BASIC DESIGN AS THE CX-7 ENGINE GREATLY REFINED. FORD IS A GREAT COMPANY, BUT THEY NEED TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. THE NEW MAZDA 6 SHOULD BE GREAT. I AM ALSO GLAD THEY ARE BUILDING THEIR OWN V-6 NOW ALSO. 3.7 LITER.
