2008 Mazda CX-7 GT AWD Road Test

Source: Automobile

Upon first glance, Mazda's CX-7 is a taller, heavier, slower version of the Mazdaspeed6, which resides in my garage. Oh, and it's lacking a clutch pedal too. This doesn't exactly sound like a compelling case for spending a week with one, but nevertheless it's unlikely you'll be hearing this point of view anywhere else as I'm one of only a few in this country who own a Mazdaspeed6, whereas Mazda has sold a lot more CX-7s in the U.S. since its launch in 2006.

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.
