    Dang! My two cents / feelings CX-7...

    thanks... One must say, that the CX-7 has definitely carved out a niche for itself, and can only be compared to comparable models costing more, not less. My negativity resides with the fact that MAZDA spent on a bunch of R&D designing and engineering there brand new spanking CX-7... SO why in...

    Hey!... I have nothing against Mazda's, or this community. There will be always, like on every other board, Keyboy Cowboys. I'm don't engage in p!ss!ng contests. For those who choose to rant and cuss one as there form of communicating and apply it as there logical reply, well... it says alot...

    value... Well, I've found the SUV that I feel offers the most value for the dollar. No, it's not a CX-7. I was hoping to get some more insight about this vehicle, by questioning and challenging CX-7 owners. AND, where better than IN the CX-7 section of the forum (despite the NON CX-7 owners...

    Not Bashing... Oh well, I clearly stated in my opening thread, that I was not bashing anyone. I was hoping to get some insight on the CX-7 from "those" who actually own and drive one (as opposed to simply Mazdafanatics <- nothing wrong with being brand loyal I may add). I do think the CX-7 is...

    I based the CX-7 for what it is. It's overpriced. It has alot of performance going for it, as well as style. It's a MAZDA, they are retailing for close to 50K. And yes, you gotta admit they missed the boat on some details that could of easily been included for their asking price. I wouldn't...

    sorry, but Repution, reliability, and durability is earned over time. No offense, but I don't agree Mazda3 with your assessment. Mazda could never pull off the Toyota -> Lexus, and Honda ->Acura, transition in the marketplace. Your certainly not going to expect that if you plan on ditching...

    3,5K less If the CX-7 came as is, fully loaded, then I would be willing to shell out 37,5K tops (before taxes, 6% and 7.5%) and not give a second thought shelling out 10K and more, for the alternatives in the marketplace. a) Lexus RX330 (damn, it's one UNinspiring design, inside and out)...

    no bitchfest... just my viewpoints. I'm not looking to turn this post into a "bitchfest", us vs them, Canada vs USA etc. If you choose to express your feelings, I can understand if some might take their purchase/choice of vehicles personally. I'm quiet proud of the vehicles I've owned in the...

    Dang! My two cents / feelings CX-7...

    I am in the market for a sporty SUV, for my wife... I am kind of mystified, at the pricing of a fully loaded CX-7. Given, it's a mazda (not an "Amati" or whatever Mazda's flagship division was supposed to be), this thing is retailing well over $40K up here in Canada. It's a MAZDA for crying...
