Half a tank to Margaret River, I can get to wongan hills and back on one tank.

The build quality of the car is way aboue anything else you can get in it's price range. Heated seats are fantastic for long drives to keep your back from cramping and of coruse in winter.

I could go on about it for ages, but you know it all anyway Dan. I know you looked at one yourself. Are they still claiming to bring out a manual soon?

Good info!

I doubt they will bring a manual out mate.
The CX9 is here next month, I will definitely try to get one of those for a weekend! It supposedly will have a 3.0L 6 in it.

i havent heard anything about a manual! doubt very much that it would happen....not looking forward to the CX9 too much as if any problems occur from what i have gathered they are gona pricks to work on

not that would bother anyone going to buy one!

Thanks for excellent info guys..

I am hoping to get one for a test drive for a day and try it out myself.. I like to stay with Subby but Foz just looks outdated when compared with CX-7.

Fuel economy is something that I have heard lot of people complaining about and I am tad concerned about it.. that's why I want to try it out for a day to see for myself.

So one of you guys can arrange a car for a day ?

Cheers

Fuel economy isn't too bad, but remember it will cost around $80 to fill the tank with ultimate.

...fuel economy is shite...have 2 guys at work who both just bought them and they agree.
Nice cars though...

What about a tribeca? They have fixed the nose up. Other option would be the 200kw rav 4 toyota.

yeah but back to previous comments. It does improve. I think once you get into the groove of driving it you stretch the economy further.
