I'm with Grimlock, I truly hope that Mazda will start adopting the F1 paddles instead of the slap-stick in the automatics going forward, especially since they took the manuals away from us on the v6 Mazda6 some years ago which I despise Mazda for doing. A design that follows this concept and...

this was actually common with my 2007. Next time this happens try taking the negative lead off the battery for about 5-10 seconds and then re-securing it and then try starting...see if that helps. Mine did this a lot a Mazda refused to fix it because they said i didn't take it in for the...

maybe that was the difference? its a bit tough trying to sift through these threads as to what the actual differeces are. one thread says its a smaller turbo, others have said the turbine blades/trim are different

ours is smaller, theirs uses the k04. I'm just trying to find out if anyone has upgraded to this one to see if it's worth it.

Has anyone on here replaced their turbo with the MS6/3 turbo yet? If so, what were the gains/losses/differences?

the dealership just told me that the turbo is passing oil due to busted internal seals and has happened a lot in the cx-7. The problem for me was that I had to get the car to them while it was still smoking. finally the technician said to just get video next time on my cell phone and he would...

hmm I can't really report the repairs since Mazda refuses to fix them on the throttle body, however they are finally replacing my turbo that is smoking.

if you can find some owner pics of the new 2010's, their radio dash has red around the radio and buttons with just the center button and a line to either side of it in blue, actually looks pretty good if you have the gt with the blue gauge lighting

I have silver door trim on my 07' sport...hmm sounds like they might have cheapened up a bit for 08' maybe?

I hope it's ok to link within this forum. Here's the how-to on it http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3389541#post3389541

I used to do this to help my old forum members (as you see what parts are in pics). This is just a basic how to so take it as is. I started with this process before I started using the paint booth. If you follow the basic steps I put in here you won't go wrong. I have many "kudos" and thank...

I wouldn't go with the chrome, I would just stick with a similar silver color. I wrote up a quick how-to on my old Mazda3 forum from when I used to do interior work for people. The how-to is for everyone with little experience or lack of automotive paint booth to use, and that wants a good...

oh the 07's cupholders are removeable... takes a few screws and a tug on the back of the armrest but the cup holders pop right out..just don't pay attention to the excess plastic covers and armrest attached (freak)

i think in partial it's because they are getting the slightly bigger v6 from the 3.5l 263hp version to the new 3.7l 273hp engine, that plus a few additional changes are making it more attractive than the 07' models.

damn.. just saw your post

I was looking at those the other day on one that was next to me at Best Buy. I think they are 20"s on that X5. You might be able to get them off of ebay by now, but the new 07' design might not have been out long enough yet to start seeing them on there.

3. 4 cyl with a turbo vs. 6 cyl engine like Killer stated. The turbo is basically a small turbine compressor. The exhaust spins the back side exhaust housing of the turbo, spinning the shaft to the inlet blades that takes the intake air and compresses it (charged air). The charged air is...

It must be a cx-7 thing, mine was just in the shop in July for the CEL and it ended up being the filler neck. They were able to replace the filler neck within 45 minutes for me. Dangerous thought though if this is going to be an ongoing issue with our vehicles. I'm glad yours turned out...

finally I can get my Pioneer -D3 i've been wanting

I too have been keeping an eye on this bimmer. My ideal situation when my lease is up on the CX-7 is to finance the remaining 10k over a 5 year span and possibly either buy the 1 series bmw or lease it.
