    Oh the noises!

    I started getting a squeak, especially over bumps, shortly after I got my CX-7 GT in January. After some experimenting, and with the help of this forum, I was able to figure out that it was coming from the center console latch. To test this I put a tissue (yes, it was clean) over the latch, and...

    creaking noise

    Amy, I and at least one other of our CX-7 siblings here, reported having a squeak. It was coming from the latch in the center console. Here's a link to the thread. If the link doesn't work, look for the "EEK!! I've got a squeak" thread for more details...

    EEK!! I've got a squeak

    Thanks to "MZ CX-7 AB" for pointing me in the right direction. I've been experimenting over the last month or so trying to figure out where the squeak was coming from and I'm convinced that it was from the center console latch. To test this I put a tissue (yes, it was clean) over the latch, and...

    EEK!! I've got a squeak

    Infymus, please keep us updated. I still haven't been able to track mine down either. I'm usually alone in the car, but the worst squeaking was when my partner was riding in the passenger seat, so maybe it is in the seats.

    A Bit of Bling-Bling

    Don't feel bad, UpNorth. I got nothing, too - no "zoom-zoom" sticker, no touch up paint, no die cast. I read an article about my dealer where the sales manager, who I met, said that they have flowers delivered to every new customer, but I'm still waiting, AND I got no chocolates. I bought...

    Hey, 1killer ... this isn't meant to be a criticism ... it's your car, do what you want ... but ... Why debadge it? I don't get that.

    EEK!! I've got a squeak

    Great advice, MZ! What kind of grease did you use? (I'm sorry, I'm a moron about these things).

    stick shift cx-7

    I wish it did have a stick shift ... I definitely would have bought. I'm not sure why so few of the SUV/CUVs come with manual transmissions. Just this week I received an e-mail customer satisfaction survey from MNAO and suggested that they produce a model with a 5- or 6-speed manual. We'll...

    EEK!! I've got a squeak

    One month and 800 miles in to owning my CX-7, and I'm starting to get a squeak. It's one of those occassional high pitched squeaks that happens on and off, as I'm driving over some bumps. It sounds like it's coming from somewhere in, under or behind the dash, but I can't tell. At first I...

    #*&$^%#$ Today

    Mikey, I had a problem with my passenger window, too, after they installed my Sirius. I didn't know about the process Rabbit explained. When I realized that the driver's side control was not moving the passenger window, I tested the button on the passenger's door. It went down all the way. I...

    Xenon Respect

    That's my concern about the fog lights, too. Do you all run the fog lights with your headlights, or just as needed? I like th elook of them on, but don't want to burn them out too fast.

    sirius sat trial code?

    Just make sure you get all the right information ... The day that I got my Sirius installed, they showed me the book with the numbers printed/written in the back. On the way home, we were having a snow storm, so while I was stuck in traffic I called Sirius to get my new toy activated, and when...

    sirius sat trial code?

    I subscribed for 2 years, but got 6 months free from Mazda plus 3 months free from Sirius, so I'll end up getting 24 months for the cost of 15. Of course, that was the same day Sirius and XM announced plans to merge, so we'll see what happens.

    since youve

    I love my CX, too. It's only been about 2-1/2 weeks, and still <500 miles, but this is the best vehilce purchase I've ever made! Unfortunately, we've been getting a lot of snow here in Cleveland, so I haven't really been able to take 'er out there and enjoy a spirited ride, but as soon as the...

    Rip off CX-9 has it all

    I may be speaking out of turn here, because I haven't seen the CX-9 in person yet, but I think the CX-9 looks more like a minivan than an SUV. The 7 is plenty big enough for me!

    so i have

    Mikey, I had a 2003 Mazda 6i (the 4-cylinder one), with cloth interior. It was a great car ... I had a spoiler added when I bought it to give it a more sporty look. I just traded it in for a CX-7 GT, and in my mind they are worlds apart. I know some have complained about the quality of the...

    Any CX-7 sightings?

    I've seen 3 or 4 on the road since I discovered the CX-7 about two months ago or so (i'm in Cleveland). It was the same when I bought my Mazda 6 in 2003. Not many on the roads at first (and I bought mine well into the first year of production), but over time the popularity and numbers built.

    New Owner

    Ahhh, yes ... You gotta watch it through there ... NK and Staties patrol pretty heavy through there, but that is a nice little stretch to let the CX's horses gallup!
