    Stainless Steel Door Scuff Plates

    put these on mine too. Very nice, have exact brushed alum color as the dash trim..but agree with other poster, the edge black trim was ok but only if it would've MET TOGETHER at its' seam. Guess they were really stretching the vinyl trim budget on these..

    CX-7 Annoyances List...with Love

    Does Mazda say any ideas on this? Now I'm even more concerned, as I see others having it out there... I see a printing of this thread and going to Mazda Regional Manager in my near future...

    CX-7 Annoyances List...with Love

    Wow, I never knew that you have to go to $50K to gain some fundamental features my 2000 Dodge van had..... sheesh. Sorry to rub your fur backwards...(dunno)

    CX-7 Annoyances List...with Love

    Great feedback! CXRABBIT: item #3, sorry, I'm talking about it should have feature where,when you start driving, the doors autolock after anything above say, 15mph....fixes folks not remembering to lock doors. Item #6, all mass-market CDs have the info...none of them show it. And they do on...

    CX-7 Annoyances List...with Love

    Ok, I've read some/many of these items here, but all in one place: who else recognizes these on theirs or can add to them? Oh, and before you (flame2) me, I do love my CX-7!! 1) fast idle on coldstart - 2K rpms or better, no let-up, so an on-edge 'drop' into gear; 2) doors sound flimsy and...

    Cheap Sounding Doors

    Both points my wife and I noticed: 1) doors light and sound toyish - no oomph. 2) doors creak and open on the hinge with real subtle grind, like opening w/hinge dusted w/sand. I sprayed white grease on, no real change.

    6-CD Player showing track info

    Please tell me this isn't so! You mean I put in a bought CD, and it wont' show up any of the track info???! If so, this car continues to underwhelm me in the details, lacking features my 7-year trade-in van had.....(pissed)

    6-CD Player showing track info

    I have the OEM 6-bay in-dash CD-player w/CX-7 GT edition...but it's not showing anything (ever) for any CD...title, track, listing, etc. Is this "off" by default (if so, stupid) and how to enable? or do I have a defective unit? Have tried multiple CDs, and "real" ones, not ones I've made...

    Chroming OEM Grille..

    Im not worried if it would look good, that I have no doubt. More concerned on the "how-to" as I'm not a painter expert. What to use? How to prep surface? What's after-expectancy, etc etc

    Chroming OEM Grille..

    while we're all waiting for grille accessories, has anybody done a repaint of the existing honeycomb upper/lower grilles? I'd think that on black CX-7 Grand Touring, these simply chromed would be great. Any painters have idea on how viable this would be to do...what to use, would it "stick"...

    Auto-Lock Doors and Ignition Questions..

    Hi, new to this forum, new to a 2007 CX-7. Love it but have a few questions, and answers probably here already. Thanks for your help, all! 1) is there no way to have doors auto-lock when CX7 reaches like, 15mph, etc? My 2000 Van does this, for cripes sake.. 2) I hate the remote key credit card...
