Why the 2007 Mazda CX-7?

Handling

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.

Why Not the 2007 Mazda CX-7?

Front seat support & comfort

Tested CX-7s with both cloth and leather seats. Both materials thin and not supportive. Cloth seats lumpy with uneven feeling surface.

Ride smoothness

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.

Powertrain performance

Turbo lag; before turbo kicks in the vehicle feels underpowered. Sufficient power once the turbo is engaged.

Fuel economy

Fuel economy not as good as many competitors in this class, combined with premium fuel requirements.
