Hi, Sorry to jump in the thread but Im also looking for info. Im also looking at a CX-7. from my readings.. I came to the conclusion;
1. avoid 2007 (Timing Chain issues)
2. expect about at the most 20mpg if I dont have a heavy foot.
Questions.
1. 2008 models reliable?
2. AWD or FWD...
95% of the Mazda5 on the market are Sports. and weird thing is that carfax report on a lot of them say they are rentals.
Have not seen any M5 out there with a manual tranny. I would get an auto anyways because of the stop & go traffic here in Los Angeles.
So 08/09 it is then. 5spd auto...
buy a 2009 or 2006.
2009 is about $3-5K more than a 2006. similar mileage.
I read there is a lot of suspension and tire problems. will the 2009 MY fixed all that issues?
