CX-7
How you guys doing, like said on the title, am new to the forum, and to the Mazda brand overall.

I've been a Honda owner all my life (love the brand) currently own an S2000 but lately their selection (Honda's) is not really meeting my standards at the moment, i was looking for crossover SUV (CR-V, and accord cross-tour are horrendous) the CX-7 really seems to fit the bill in the styling, power train, and price.

Now here is the question: How reliable are they? I have done some reading in here about some crazy stuff like, white smoke from leaking turbo seals, serious A/C issues, transfer case leaking oil (boom06) ?? poor paint quality, how serious and common are these problems? is there a particular year i should look at, that is "better" than others? particular trim level? i do have a budget and looking for a used one.

Thanks a lot for your help.
