2007 Mazda CX-7 grand touring review from North America
"dont buy ...."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats are not comfortable at all, my but hurt a lot.
cheap plastic dashboard
not sound proof at all, I can hear everything just as clear as outside ( well almost)
suspensions too stiff, I can feel any little line or mark on the street
lights not in line, dealer cannot adjust without charging you.
no lock for the glove box
noisy motor for the sunroof,
cheap bricky buttons
not smooth, not professional at all....
big disapointmet...sorry Mazda
General comments?
I choose the CX-7 over an X3, and I am so sorry, I think I would be happier even with a used old X5,...yes the car looks good and feels good and sharp at first drive test, but once you drive it every day, you see it all.
No gadgets at all, not pockets in the dors, no light for the vanity mirrors, `everything so cheap plastic, carpet very hard to vacuum, for 30 000 dollars, they could do better.
MPG terrible. there is no gadget to tell you how many miles left you have for the gas left in your tank, like any junk car has. it's because they lie about it's MPG. what I get is 13 mpg city and 18mpg HW.
Don't be fooled by the dealers first review... I say many CX-7 returned... people don't like them... it's all about the looks... trust me. I will trade mine for a BMW... those are real cars.
The dealer even lied to me saying I got a lower credit score and gave me a higher interest... after I went home and pulled out my credit score I realized that he told lied to me with 23 points on my credit score. (Trans Union). I was so...so mad. I went back and told him and he said... well we can't do anything about it now. (with a smirk on his face).
