CX-7 Turbo vs. CX-7 Without Turbo

[peachbaby4008]

I am thinking about trading the 07 in for the 2010 non turbo.

Could anyone tell me if there was a significant difference in power???

How was it in the snow, 2wd or 4wd?

I have an 09 CX7 GT Turbo AWD. My car is supposed to put out roughly 244 bhp. I can't remember the exact figure, but I read that the non turbo, makes less than 200 bhp. Also, given where I live, Canada, I prefer AWD. You may be able to get away with FWD, but AWD is nice when you need it.

Well.. on paper you're going from an 8-ish 0-60 to a 10-ish 0-60. We have a turbo CX7 and a new CX5. There's a huge difference in power band. But you also pay for it in gas mileage.

Not to mention the expensive depreciation hit.

i have a 2010 non turbo. it is quicker than the '05 4 cyl tribute that i had before. it gets better mileage on average than the tribute. on occasion (okay, twice) i have achieved 30 mpg or slightly more. once in awhile i wish i had bought a turbo but i drive defensively. i think all 2.5s were FWD.
