I prefer the styling of the CX7. Acura's are my second favorite auto brand.....I think they may also be more dependable than the Mazda's but you pay the price. Both are great vehicles and I have never driven the Acura but I bet it's as nice and probably handles well, but my gut says Mazda has the edge on that part. I had an Integra for 5 years...handled well and no problems!! On this comparison I guess it depends on which you like more and if Acura has a better interior and may be more dependable and you can afford it, then that is a personal choice! The Acura seemed smaller when I sat in it at an auto show. Either way both are great choices!
