I bought the Mazda cx7 a few years back for our growing family because it had a very nice look to it while also allowing us to fit three car seats across the back. The car looks great it very stylish and sleek looking. The car drives great and handles very well considering it's fairly narrow stance. It came with nice 18" wheels which look great but cost a bit more when it's time for new tires. The four cylinder turbo has plenty of power and really moves on the highway. The only real drawback I have an issue with is mine is only front wheel drive and it does not drive well in the snow and even sometimes has issues in the rain. It gets really good gas mileage and is really reliable. I have not had any issues with it and I'm creeping up on 100k miles on it. Overall I give the car a really good rating and a two thumbs up but I do recommend if you live in a state with bad weather seasons get the all wheel drive model.

I bought the CX7 after owning a Mazda 3 for five years. Prior to buying the 3, I had always owned American cars. After my divorce, and relying on one income, I did a lot of research as to what cars were most reliable. Mazda was consistently listed among the most reliable cars. I bought the CX7 because I needed something bigger than the 3 and it was highly rated among current owners.
