2008 Mazda CX-7 squeaks on rough bumpy roads - passenger side dash?
2008 Mazda CX-7 squeaks on rough bumpy roads - passenger side dash. Anyone find a solution for this? It's high pitch squeaks, when going over certain rough bumps. Like mice are living in there squeaking away. Is this just chassis twisting and nothing can be done?

It may be the suspension is not properly lubricated on that side of the vehicle or a bad shock.

How can I get my Sirius installed in my 2008 CX7?
I had a Mazda 6 and had installed Sirius (purchased from Best Buy) and an FM modulator with an Aux jack so I could directly connect my Ipod. I just bought a CX7 and attempted to have both re-installed. The Best Buy tech could not find the break in the antenna to install it. I called Mazda Service and they said I need to purchase the $359 worth of...

Look for a local store that does uncertified work. Search for amp and speaker stores in your area, as they also instal them. I would suggest telling them your situation, and having them do the work. There will still be a cost, but it will be considerably less than the manufacturer. Hope this...

Why should I also consider these? X

The CX-7's closest rival is probably the Acura RDX, a performance-oriented crossover that also packs a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive, and a suspension that's tuned for sporty handling.

But the RDX's interior feels plusher yet sporty, there's more usable backseat space, and its powertrain feels and sounds more refined, with a bit less harshness and better responsiveness at part-throttle than the CX-7's engine.

The RDX also has a more advanced all-wheel-drive system that is harder to fluster in brisk driving on curvy roads.

The EX35 is a new competitor to the 2008 Mazda CX-7, with an excellent interior design and sharp handling, but its interior is also somewhat cramped.

The BMW X3 offers a similar package, though its six-cylinder powertrains are more refined and sophisticated; however, the X3's interior trails the competition in appearance and materials.

As a wild card, there's also the Subaru Tribeca, with quirky styling inside, sharp handling, and a surprisingly fun-to-drive feel on the road, thanks to the responsive flat-six engine.

But what's the CX-7's biggest advantage? Its price is thousands lower than any of these rivals.
