    Mpg same under these conditions any idea?

    I agree with you 100%. The only tank I've gotten less than 20MPG on was when I let my husband drive it a couple of times. He mashes the throttle all the time, and just by letting him drive it twice, my mileage dropped to 19.5. I have been averaging 22 almost religiously, and got over 24 on a...

    Real Bad Gas Mileage!

    I estimate my driving to be about 70% rush hour/stop-and-go freeway driving, 20% city and 10% unobstructed freeway. I would say my average freeway speed when I'm not in traffic is 75-80 MPH (our speed limits are 55-65). I tend to not be heavy on the throttle when accelerating from a complete...

    Real Bad Gas Mileage!

    See, now THAT is an honest response! I'm on my fourth tank on my CX-7 now, and all four have been 20-21 MPG. Admittedly, I rarely "get on it", but I have been pleasantly surprised with my mileage. I have to wonder what the driving styles are like for those getting poor mileage. You KNOW the...

    How much you paid for your CX-7?

    $100 over invoice for my Grand Touring with Bose/Moonroof and Remote Start (no trade). Just say no to dealer add-ons! :) You can find quality tint MUCH cheaper than most dealers want to charge (at least, here in Arizona you can).

    Am I Missing Something???

    I don't have the nav system, but I have a mute button on my steering wheel.

    Im starting to regret my cx7... :(

    I guess I'm lucky. My first two tanks have been 21.08 and 22.67 respectively. I drive about 70% rush hour stop and go freeway, 20% uncongested freeway and 10% side streets. I hope your dealer is able to fix your CX-7. I sure love mine and haven't had any of the problems you've experienced...

    White with Windows Tinted

    They're pretty relaxed about it in Arizona, maybe because its so darn hot and the tint helps tremendously. I've had illegal tint on every vehicle I've had for the past 15 years or so and I've never been pulled over for it. It also never came up when speaking to the police after my Jeep got...

    MPG Spread Sheet

    Either I baby my car, or I got one of the good ones. I got 21.08 and 22.67 on my first two tanks, respectively. Couldn't be happier! (first)

    Look @ your brakes

    Man, if that were ME, with 1,000 miles on the car, I'd be demanding a new rotor. If they machine it, that's less life in that particular rotor for future wear. It was obviously a defect so I'd raise a stink. :bs:

    I like it. How's your reception with it?

    My CX7 Got Hit at the DEALERSHIP!

    I worked in the insurance business for a long time, so a little advice... Since there were no injuries, I would first off try to work with the towing company's insurance company. Most of the time they are more than willing to work with you. Generally speaking, when their insured is at fault...

    Hi! New Here...

    I drove a 2006 CR-V (a rental) for a couple of weeks before buying my CX-7. I know they've completely redesigned it, but for what its worth the CR-V wasn't much fun to drive. Purely functional. I'm sure the Honda is a great car and all, but I needed something fun AND functional. :D I'm...

    New CX-7 Owner in the house!

    Ha! I got hit on the Superstition too. Great freeway, huh? And yeah, I know what you mean about the rocks. Full glass coverage is required here.

    7000 miles and I'm already car shopping.

    I can't calculate my mileage in my CX-7 yet as I'm still on my first tank, but I have over 200 miles on this tank so far and it barely hit the half way mark. I know that the second half always seems to go faster than the first (why the heck is that?) but I have been thinking I'm getting...

    New CX-7 Owner in the house!

    Greetings, all... I am the proud new owner of an electric blue CX-7 GT and LOVING IT! My previous car was a 2002 Jeep Liberty which was hit from behind a couple of weeks ago while I was on my way to work. Nothing like being hit on the freeway! (argh) Anyway, I had forgotten how much fun...
