Default Mazda CX7

Well I am in the market for new car again..

Just wanted to know what is everyone's opinion on CX7 ? I would love to stay with subaru but I guess with redesign of forrester more than a year away I won't be able to wait that long.

they are a good car, they drive really smoothly and have a nice bit of power when needed. only downsides are the fuel economy isnt the best around and is a little laggy before boost!!

we have not had any problems with them yet that i know of, yes i do work for mazda!

if you decide on buying one give me a shout and ill get you a good deal

I've also heard they are a touch laggy for a stocker and they're VERY thirsty....like somewhere around the 13-14L/100kms.

Go a Foz mate you won't be sorry.....217wkw and still returning on average 10.5L/100kms.

CX9 coming out in December. Saw one at the motor show in Sydney and they look the goods. CX7 is just a tad small for my liking.
