2008 Mazda CX-7, CarAndDriver Consumer Review

Source: Car and Driver

Mileage: 15000 Style: 2007 Touring FWD Owned Before: I have previously owned a vehicle of this make. Pros Styling, effortless high-speed cruising, acceleration, Bose system with quality sound, manual shift option, comfortable interior Cons Takes premium gas, gets 19-20 mpg, not impressive in the snow, stereo not loud enough, turbo lag, indecisive automatic Review I do like my '07 CX-7 a lot, but I wish it didn't require premium fuel, and got slightly better mileage.

Other Choices:

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.
