I agree it would have been a sweet option that I would have ordered. however to add one you'd have to have more money than sense.

I missed having moon/sun roofs in my last two cars. I really like the light this one adds to the dark interior. Regardless of what it's called, as long as it doesn't leak or rattle, I'm glad I got it.

That bottom pic is really very artful. You are clearly a talented photog...nice car, too!

Welcome aboard!

It's not just you. I agree completely.

Turbos give power by spinning outside (cold) air into the induction system at higher volume and pressure than would othewise be possible from the engine. It is a turbine blade that operates in a ceramic/metallic case. The impeller, as the blade is called, spins at high rpms (up to 100,000 and...

Maybe you need to have a religious ceremony to exorcise the demons from your car. Jeez, I hope things get better, and soon!

I have the black leather interior on a GT package, so it has a little chrome or "bright plastic" to lighten it up some, but if you don't like a dark interior, get the sand. It is attractive and shouldn't be too hard to keep clean. I just didn't like the black "sport stripe" on the sand seats...

Wow! I clicked on those pics thinking I would hate it, but that looks sweet! Nice add-on.

Xavier, keep us posted on the condition of your CX-7! Why would it start pinging for no reason? Knock sensor? ECU timing not functioning? Enquiring minds want to know! Hopefully it's simple and avoidable.

I was also an S plan person, but I leased, 'cuz I like new cars every two years. That made this car with its $30,662.00 more affordable to me. And I surely wasn't waving off such an expense. It IS a lot of money. However, it looks like a Lexus to people, or Acura. So when I tell people what I...

I read this thread before getting my car, which has the HIDs. I love them. They don't distract me at all. I can see more clearly and with a wider field of view (great on Michigan highways populated by more deer than cars). To each their own, of course, but I have learned I will never have...

Tints look sweeeet. I think I'm going illegal, too.

True enough, a Mazda 4-cylinder is almost bullet-proof so long as you maintain it!

I have a '79 Vette, and while I agree with Cx-7 Scott, I do wave when passing other Vettes. It's a "thing" and it was going on long before I bought my Vette 15 years ago, so when in Rome. But I have yet to see a CX-7 on the road in Michigan. sure, lots of domestics on the road, here, but you'd...

The Acura is nice looking and I didn't drive it (tho my dealership also sells Acura), but Damn, the price. No competition based on price as far as I'm concerned.

Good tip, Jimbo. I just hope someday the Michigan weather will allow me to open the moonroof again!

Good point, a lot of it may be the electronic throttle lagging a little before giving the command. I had another long-ish trip this weekend and didn't notice the phenomenon that I alluded to a few posts ago. Maybe I'm getting used to it. Plus, now that it's got some miles on it, I'm not...

CAI's work well with turbo engines, but in this case, I think it's programming. Keep in mind that some CAIs will lean the mixture causing a delay in turbo response until enough fuel can be put into the pipe. This may be a non-issue with a DISI engine. I don't know. Also, while they promise a...

Consumer Reports ALWAYS dissapoints. I have never owned a vehicle that was recommoended by CR. Look at the 2006 Ford Taurus. I'm not bashing Ford, but it is by all metrics an uncompetitve vehicle in its class. CR rates it recommend, while the VW Passat is not. To each their own, but I'd rather...
