I got a Touring Model for $ 30,200 almost 3 weeks ago- I'm happy and everything I found on pricing as TMV shows it was $4500 below market.

Good bye CX-7 - Update on ours is that she was still doing fine at 117,000 but I felt like borrowed time was closing in. Last year or so was running through a little extra oil to the tune of adding 1/2 quart or so in the 600 mile range. In search of test drives for my wife to find something...

Well, here is my short-term update; The timing chain was replaced and the fluid filled motor mount was as well. Interestingly, an earlier inquiry to the motor mount as covered on the ext warranty was denied at the other dealer location approx a year ago when first discovered. In this case...

I did finally did carry out my strategy on our 08 Mazda CX-7. The last few issues to resolve were getting a second key made on the cheap and feeling like ours was a bit noisy at the motor as well with just two months and approx 10 k miles of ext warranty left. We are at 94,700 miles and have...

Not for sure but I think you can find the transmission in yours is an F21 by Aisin yet I thought the Escape/Tribute had the CD4E by Ford. If so, they are 2 different animals and the CD4E (as far as I know) has a treacherous service record. I had an 02 Tribute and I loved everything about it...

Direct injection is starting to get a lot or press lately. It seems there are some common problems with it (some designs) and has more to do with carbon deposits. I'm interested in looking into more recent news on this and the companies/motors afflicted, just seen a glimpse of it searching one...

Added thoughts (CX-7 and Tribute) as an on/off car shopper; First, I was drawn to this as nice looking upscale vehicle for my wife who has preferred the taller-than-car advantage of seeing other traffic better as she drives. This started when we got our first van and the 'SUV' segment has...

Sure ! Well, I should have just highlighted the few points worth mentioning and used the link as a citation .... lol. Not sure how many will follow it up to read even though it's a short one. Let me hit the first few main points or paste some of the text .... - Small as you say and now I'm...

Did the new motor sound the same, different or better ?

Posting a link to some information on the Asin AWF21 / (Trans shop owners) for some insights related ..... http://etereman.com/blog/ford/the-awf21-transmission-here-are-a-few-things-all-shop-owners-should-know/

Done nothing yet but .... Of all things to scam out of the ext warranty, this was not covered. I have yet to get an est of repair and will likely have an ipod input added instead b/c it might be less expensive anyways. I'll update when I get something done though. I did do the following; $90...

I think we are approaching 82,000 or so. The dealer LOF last week caught the Campaign for emissions and did an update or re-flash. I think it was the one that sets off the CEL and I thought was previously a new gas cap issue, just never got around to it before. It was def related to warmer...

Thursday, my cars (both purchased used there) went to the dealer for the lifetime LOF and check up's. After doing the little car, I went back with the CX-7 my wife drives and paid extra for the headlight lens recon/buff. WOW did they come out nice!! I think they were pretty well scuffed up from...

I put the new intake tube on the G coupe Saturday and it looks nice and fits good. For $58 and a few extra shipping, I'm happy. It's set up for CAI but I figured I could make it fit/work as to OEM airbox hook up and the K&N in place. Even though my email questions about that were "no, it is...

re; Milehigh- I had a key done for an infiniti. He had to sell me the key, cut it and program it ..... $65 whole deal but not the switchblade type. I got a remote-fob at Amazon for $23. Was very happy versus more pricey options. If you want, I can get you a phone# to this guy who does that...

Sorry to hear of those experiences and expense. Just reading a few threads, it's alarmingly obvious this is front and center with potential buyers posting questions and concerns. It's an unfortunate backlash when problems do get turned around after a few model years yet they may torpedo the...

Yes. A rigid connector from the air box to the throttle body would seem less than ideal. Nothing about this configuration is different from OEM in the respect of a tube and a coupler at each end. It's supposedly a bit nicer sound and we all how the horsepower claims go! (rolleyes) With this...

I seen a Youtube video of 4 SUV's on a track racing around and the CX-7 was out there with a Porche Cayenne. That thing has goobs of power and speed but the CX-7 so out performed everything else in handling and grip that the Cayenne could only play catch up on the straights where it powered...

Thanks .... yeah this is a "Z-tube" type swap so the intake tube is non baffled like the Nissan Z350 whereas Infiniti uses a slightly different one. Lots of swaps just go to the Z350 tube but this aftermarket one is a nicer looking, easer to get and probably less expensive - a win win win. It...

I had the same concerns after getting ours. No probs yet with anything after 10 months - 5000 miles added to it from 70k. We got out of an 02 Tribute I was happy with up to the trans rebuild (114,000 miles and we got it at 50k) - like many others had to do. I was so focused on liking Mazda but...
