I was looking for a crossover vehicle around $15,000.00 When I found my CX-7. I love that it is big enough that if feels not like a car but also small enough to not feel like a full size SUV. I like that fact that it has a back up camera that allows me to see if anything is behind me. One thing I do not like it that it will not download my contacts from my phone (iPhone). It will only work with android. I would have to enter my contacts separately which would be time consuming. Also my satellite radio button does not allow me to connect to Sirius.

The build quality is not too bad. The car has a total of 90,000 miles and I have driven close to 40,000 of those miles with minimum repairs. The inside still looks good and has held up even with a child playing and eating in the back.

This vehicle was given to me as a college graduation gift. For the first few years that I had it the vehicle was reliable, quick and very fun to drive as well as being decent on gas mileage for its size. As my family has grown, I have started to dislike the lack of space. Just recently my car has gone through two turbos and is currently sitting in my garage torn apart.
