I got my first one in this car last week. 82 in a 70. Laser. Just Calibrated. s***.

I felt the same way with my Chrysler 300C. Eventually i realized I looked just like all the rental cruisers. Man, that hurt.

Haven't driven enough to guage economy since the flash, but it definitely addresses the low RPM soft spot. I also feel like it holds 1st and 2nd a little more agressively. It might also advance the timing right off idle to give more power. Glad I use 93 octane. We'll start measuring econ on next...

My issues are minor: iPod Turbo lag (just got the PCM flash, so it's a bit better) Lack of overall features (vanity lights, memory seats, power pasgr seat) Lower than expected mileage even though I do mostly highway driving below 80 mph Overall, I really like the car and think Mazda did a great...

Well, I have the "crap" goodyears and let me tell you this thing is like a mountain goat. I have always been a Bridgestone fan (over Goodyear anyway). Go ahead and call 'em crap, but after 5000 miles of pretty spirited driving in all weather I am impressed.

My understanding is the guagges are identical save for the backlighting. The GTs is the ghostly blue.

I agree. the Guages, while very cool looking and legible, are more difficult to interpret than they need to be. I also play fast and loose with speed limits, but do a lot of highway driving. There's a big difference in the minds of the state troopers between 77 mph and 80 mph. Not only are there...

My Dlr said they would do this, but never did.

Still smelling it faintly when coming to a stop on extended highway runs and I have almost 3000 miles.

Finally, December 27th saw a black on heading west on I96 between Grand Rapids and Muskegon Michigan. I have been on the road with mine since October and had yet to see one. Of course I was driving the Protege, so he didn't get a sighting, but I was there in spirit.

I personally think they were right on the money in their conclusion. I like my CX-7, but it is a vehicle that reaches out to a certain consumer. Any of these vehicles will make their owners happy. They all demonstrate quality and nice fitment. If I only did city driving and needed low-end power...

You guys are funny. I moved back to Michigan from Jersey this summer. You don't know bad roads! I was really glad to move back home to Michigan, but one thing I MISS about Jersey is the quality of both local and highway roads. The amount of time it takes to fix things is minimal and they make...

It's one of the "bummers" of owning this vehicle. I want a boost guage. My calibrated ass only gives me so much information!

Xavier, I hope they are able to fix it, or that they buy it back and you get satisfaction. If the e-prom isn't taking the flash it may be a good indication that you got a bad ecu. My bet is, they replace the ecu and you will see (after a couple tanks for it to "learn") a major improvement. It's...

S-Plan leasor at invoice. AWD GT W/O Nav $30,660 sticker for right around $25,800, no security deposit and 18,000 miles per year for 2 years. Would have been cheaper if I didn't need so many miles. A 15,000 mile per year 3 year lease was a better payment, BUT I like a new car every two years (I...

Well, Greg, I haven't taken mine "off-road." But if I did, it would be like your scenario, soft roads/trails back to campsites and fishing holes. I think judiciously driven most sand and shallow mud would be no problem. Ground clearance is an issue, so no rock climbing. Also, the AWD system is...

My only concern is the somewhat intrusive A-pillar. My wife drives the car and forgets to slide the seat back, and like a jackass, I twang my head twice a week. MAZDA, PLEASE MAKE MEMORY SEATS AVAILABLE. I may need an neurosurgeon if I keep hitting my head!

What he said- Though as I indicated, the car works very well and is seldom in need of the Traction Control. I would imagine with the weight of this vehicle that the FWD editions should do very well in the snow, too.

It was bound to happen....Snow has finally hit the Western part of Michigan and over the last week dumped equivelant of a foot. To complicate matters, ice fell first on Friday and now light powder has been falling for the last 72 hours straight. I have had a chance to evaluate the CX-7 AWD in...

Lucy (the Protege) and Ethel (the CX). I name all my cars.
