I got 320k miles on my 2011 Mazda CX-7 2.5L and it's never broke down on me nor gave me any major issues. Original engine and transmission. I've had my cx7 since New and the only stuff I've done to it was obviously normal maintenance and battery I've replaced the engine mount once and recently got the spark plugs and the drive belts and the valve cover gasket replaced. And the the thermostat was also replaced at 210k miles. That's all I did in terms of replacing these mechanical parts in the last 10 years of owning it. And it still runs strong.

I own till this day the Mazda CX-7 2010 AWD 2.4L (244 Horsepower).

In the last 13 years, I had to change the AC Radiator once. A water leakage happened, which I realized when the car started to heat up, so I changed the compartment that holds the water. And then, the water leakage happened again, so I had to change it again. I also had to repair the electrics on my windows multiple times because they did weird noises when I raised them up (water from rain enters the window electrics and screws it up). My roof opening does leak some water inside the car from the rain, which really sucks.
I never had an accident with it. Those all came within my 13 years of use.

The car is quick. I like how it accelerates. You can feel the 244 HP in action, tbh. The car is smooth and comfy to drive. Some body roll, though, can be felt when taking corners. It's not a major concern, though. The driving experience overall is nice.

Never faced engine problems, turbo problems, transmission problems, or any major problems in general. I am growing tired of the car, though, so imma sell it and buy something new because 13 years is too much, lol. The car is really outdated, but it gets the job done. Wouldn't say it's super reliable, but as i said, it gets the job done.

I recently bought a second hand cx7 and I must say that the 'little' SUV is lots of fun! It came directly from Japan. Hence, there are a lot more features such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking system etc etc. I also owned one of the latest gen BMW and I must say that I really enjoy driving the CX7 if compared to the Bimmer.

Fuel consumption might be on a tad high side but it provides quite a lot of fun on the highway.

So far, being a 15 year old car, maintenance is not too bad. Just normal oil change and those wear and tear items. Take good care of it and being a Mazda, I don't think it'll disappoint ya. Cheers!

This was the 1st SUV I've ever purchased. I loved it, I had the Grand Touring model. It was purple but it looked black in certain light. I had such a bad time with this truck. Why through 2 turbos in 1 year at 60k. Then the engine grenaded itself and threw a rod through the bottom of the engine after getting my second turbo replaced. It was just outside the warranty period. My truck was in the shop more time than I drove it. I had to call Mazda corporate to get the engine replaced due to all the issues I was having. I only paid 10% of what they were going to charge me to replace the engine with a brand new one shipped from Japan. I only paid $400 then sold the truck right after. My wife banned me from ever purchasing another Mazda. This truck still has a special place in my heart. It was fun while it lasted. Mazda really took care of a fiasco better than any other car brand. I found out later that these had a major recall on the turbos

I absolutely ❤ my canyon red, 2007, Grand Touring CX7 turbo with heated, power leather, sunroof & factory Bose. All it asks for are regular oil changes & minor maintenance and thus far it's been my favorite daily driver. However, it much prefers to run on the highway, and I'm happy to oblige! It also scores high on safety rating, which was a factor in my decision to purchase. Zoom-zoom!

The CX-7 was on the Ford C1 platform, which meant it was more related to the Focus (European MK2) than the Edge. It was the CX-9 that shared a platform with the Edge (CD3).

I remember driving these around at Hertz Car Rental when I worked there. They were peppy little SUV’s. Wish Mazda would’ve kept the CX-7 nameplate around. Also if I remember correctly, the turbo came out first, then the natural aspirated engine came later be of bad gas mileage, and to have a more affordable CX-7 option.

I would consider this if it had the 3.0 V6, or the 3.7 at least. The 3.7 had water pump issues, but apart from that, they were pretty reliable.

You did a awesome job hiding the passenger fender damage

I still own a Pearl White 2009 Mazda MPV, 2.3L Turbo. It shares a lot of the drivetrain with the CX-7 apart from some components which define the ride height. Have owned it for about 6 years now. Never missed a beat. I keep it's maintenance on check. It came from Japan with King-R adjusties which where not suited for the car. Very low and very stiff shocks in my opinion. About 3 years back I replaced them with a set of Tein Flex-Z struts and they are awesome. Car runs on Bridgestones RE-003 that are fantastic. They grip like a mf and provide a very comfortable ride.

In some other markets it is known as the Mazda 8. I'm not sure if these made it to the states but I'd strongly recommend that you drive one if you can. Cheers! =)

1:28 the MSP 3 and 6 DISI is tuned for 14.5 ish psi boost on 3rd or higher gear (12 psi in 1st and 2nd)... pushing output to around 260’s bhp
The CX7’s DISI is tuned to 12-13 psi max, speed limited which means at low speeds the boost is quite lower as max boost will only appear in 5th or 6th a wot

Mazda is the only car I have driven that actually have the plus and minus for the gears in the correct orientation.

i own one and will say very very underappreciated. would is hell of a deal on the used car market. Fun to drive, the handling and maneuverability steal the show. if you buy do not purchase the turbo model and make sure AC compressor has already been replaced or negotiate price down as it will have to be replaced 60 - 80000 miles.

There was a kid at Ferris that had a modified one of these. It was so rad. Dyno tuned and what not. Had a built trans I remember. No idea whose it was. I cant remember if it made more than 300 to the wheels but I thought it did.

My friend leased one for 2 years. It was a FUN car to drive! Fill it with Premium gas and it definitely felt peppier than the Regular it could run on. It was a fairly spacious crossover and with the seats down we could haul all of our DJ gear for an event. The tires it came with were fairly wide for the category. It definitely ripped on the highway.

In Europe we got the same manual from the speed6 in the cx7 paired with AWD

Holy! My favorite car is the MazdaSpeed3 and I had no idea the CX-7 had the same engine! 🙀 I own a 2013 Gen 2 myself.

The Mazda 6 and Ford Fusion were also based on this platform.

I owned one and it was great, I sold it for a 2007 Acura RDX which is a similar car but is nicer, faster, and more reliable
