Hey everybody... I watch MotorWeek on PBS every Saturday @ 3pm (when I'm not out driving around in my CX! ;-) I saw that this weekend, Sat, April 19th, that they will be reviewing the longterm test on the CX7. More info, go to PBS.org (headbang)
Date: December 2007 Miles: 17,500
Having racked up 17,500 miles in just six months proves just how popular our long-term Mazda CX-7 is with our staff.
This racey-look mid-size crossover is the perfect size for a small family that seeks all-wheel drive versatility without the bulk of a typical SUV.
But fuel economy could be better - 20 miles-per-gallon using premium grade.
And, our CX-7 is currently off the road as the eager 244-horsepower 2.3-liter 4 developed a clatter in the valve train. Mazda says a small number of early CX-7s have this problem and the camshaft is being replaced under warranty.
