I ended up buying the Thule 1600 Atlantis.... not sure exactly which one Mazda is Hawking. From the specs it looks like they are selling the Evolution 1600, which is heavier and a discontinued model. I paid 449 for the Thule at a local Eastern Mountain Sports store. It was about as cheap as I...

I have owned my CX-7 since December of 07 and have about 28,000 miles also. No problems other than the initial CEL dilema but that has been long cleared up.

They must have stopped selling it

Have you had an issues with the box on the standard rack. Thule doesn't seem to support the factory rack. They claim they haven't tested it and therefore won't be responsible for anything... whatever that means. The funny part is if you order the one from Mazda it is a Thule box.

2 Questions: How did you get so many miles out of the Turanzas when everybody else is getting less than 20K out of a set? Second... The cheapest I can get the Eagle Response Tires is 179 installed and that is a good price compared to other discount quotes I have been getting. How did you find...

I never found a sticker for the gas cap fix. I didn't check for the repairs I had done two days ago, but I'll look next chance I get.

I just went to order the combo kit but don't see yellow or clear as an option. The taillight kit only has two options also

No problems here

I made an exception with the door gasket TSB even though I didn't experiance the problem because bringing it back and forth to the dealer is a hassle in my case. I was honest with the service writer and told him I wasn't experincing the problem but felt I didn't have enough time or experiance...

I agree, certain TSBs are addressed pre-delivery. When I reported my check engine trouble they indicated that it was on record that my gas cap had already been replaced during prep. My problem was actually the P2006 "Swirl Valve Issue". It really depends on the severity of the TSB and what...

I've had collision claims without any increase in rates. Too many within a certain timefram though and they start to think about cancellling your policy.

I guess it's what makes us all different. My doors are fine after 4 months and 4,000 miles.

There are some things they could have done differently in terms of features, but they really don't annoy me. After over 4000 miles, the car has been great except for the CEL issue. Unfortunatley most of the issues that people complain about are a result of the CX7 being a first year vehicle...

Why can't they get the hour from the Satellite?(mj)

I'm not into lowering cars but if I were, I would not waste my money lowering an AWD vehicle. With AWD, you want as much ground clearance as possible so that the AWD works like it is supposed to. The AWD will still be a benefit lowered, but just not worth the extra money. Of course if you...
