seats in rear are tight, they do not slide or recline where as Honda CRV rear seats are much more flexible for kids and families. My crv is 2007 and the rear seats recline and the entire bench can slide front and back to create instant leg room see full Mazda CX-7 review |

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

Although there is a pretty bad turbo lag, once the turbo spindle winds up there is plenty of power for that size of vehicle. see full Mazda CX-7 review |

260 HP is more then you need for every day drive. those extra HPs give you possiblity to have fun driving CX-7 as well. A little bit slow when starting, but excellent when accelerating on highway. see full Mazda CX-7 review |

The turbo engine is the same from the Mazdaspeed 6, and it hauls. It seriously has no business being in a crossover. see full Mazda CX-7 review |

Having had two Saabs previously I was interested in the 2.3L turbo engine. Especially when it was mentioned in some reviews that it was tuned for more torque. The way this drives at speed reminds me of the Saabs and makes for effortless highway driving. see full Mazda CX-7 review |

2008 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 244hp 2.3L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
good size engine but poor engine management computer as turbo lags when push hard. premature wear of belts, pulleys, fuel injection and seals in engine, Turbo requires maintenance and oil is burnt to a crisp in the engine due to design flaws that Mazda is aware of. Poor engine design for the turbo engine. Car is no longer produced in the USA. see full Mazda CX-7 review |

Turbo lag; before turbo kicks in the vehicle feels underpowered. Sufficient power once the turbo is engaged. see full Mazda CX-7 review |
