Steering wheel felt tight, responsive. Vehicle handled well when changing lanes. The handling made it feel like it could be a fun vehicle, for an SUV.

Tested CX-7s with both cloth and leather seats. Both materials thin and not supportive. Cloth seats lumpy with uneven feeling surface.
Fore and aft pitch of vehicle changes when turbo kicks in, and when decelerating, leading to a boat-rocking feeling. Combined with material fumes lead to car sickness during my test drive. May not bother everyone--extended test drives should suffice.
Turbo lag; before turbo kicks in the vehicle feels underpowered. Sufficient power once the turbo is engaged.
Fuel economy not as good as many competitors in this class, combined with premium fuel requirements.
