Welcome! Welcome to the forum... um, it has it's active moments. My wife loves our 08 CX7, but it's my weekend fun drive... I can race with all the weekend punks and surprise the heck out of 'em! (glare) It's great to converse with other CX'ers and brag about the cool car we own!

Hey everybody... I watch MotorWeek on PBS every Saturday @ 3pm (when I'm not out driving around in my CX! ;-) I saw that this weekend, Sat, April 19th, that they will be reviewing the longterm test on the CX7. More info, go to PBS.org (headbang)

Welcome! Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new CX7! 2008 Red Copper Mica here, and still lovin' it since purchased in Feb. By the way, watch out for the cops... this vehicle gets noticed! (wink)

I've got a heck of alot more info to go shopping on now... thanx fellow CX'ers!(yes)

Any ideas, tips, suggestions on child seats in my awesome CX7? As I stated before, I will be a new dad in a few weeks,(the reason I traded the mustang) and am shopping for a child seat to put in the CX. Any ideas?

Welcome... I guess I am a regular on here now. I have had my '08 CX7 copper red mica since February, and already have 3500 miles on it. So reassuring that (almost) everybody else loves it as much as myself. It helps that I like attention, because sitting in a parking lot, people look really...

I, too, am an everyday visitor to the site. Just bought my '08 CX7 last month due to expanding family. One of the biggest reasons I visit here is I love being on the 'bandwagon'. I dig hearing praises for the car that I actually own! I love it too... just got back from another long trip to...

Where did you purchase your 'turbo' badge? I've looked online, but no luck.

Yippee! (yippy) I just got my "zoom zoom" sticker from Mazda yesterday in the "welcome book". I think I am gonna steal AWMustang's idea and put it on the 3rd brake light. Rock On!!(headbang)

30 y.o. and still racin' and rockin' (band2)... hehe

Yeah, my wife's stang was a v-6 as well. I was just amazed at how the cx-7 seemed to hug curves better than her car! My complaint is the gas mileage, but hers is no sunroof (sad1) since she had to do away with the conv. Still loads of fun!

Difference in fuel... I've had my '08 CX-7 almost 2 weeks now, and the first week put 91 octane in it (filled up twice... couldn't stop driving it!! so fun). The beginning of last week, the wife drove it and filled up with 87. I drove it Friday night, and could tell a big difference. So, Sat...

AWMustang... just wonderin where you got your "zoom, zoom" sticker on your 3rd brake light? sounds cute.

Yes, no more mustang I had a really hard time getting rid of the mustang! It was really my wife's car, but my fun weekend car. (I drive a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 single cab) The CX7 just drives alot smoother than the stang. My wife feels more safe in it too! So, yeah, I'm converted!

Becoming a dad in May, so I was really reluctant to get rid of the "weekend ride" our 2007 Red Mustang convertible. But, my first thought of a SUV was the CX-7. So, after driving a Nitro, a Caliber, and a Rogue, I saved the Mazda for the last test drive. It was GREAT! So, after owning it for a...
