So far, after about 3k miles and 124 gallons of gas, my average is 18.25 MPG, lowest was 16.17 in mostly city traffic, highest 20.94 almost exclusively highway. I did a test of NO A/C in the same routes as with A/C and was able to squeak out almost an extra 3 MPG out of the car. 13 MPG...

41 and loving acting like 14 today.

Bad news for people like me - having the nav system. Go to link, and scroll all the way to note (2) at the bottom. Bummer.... http://www.mazda.com/publicity/release/200608/0804b.html

I really didn't take offense to 98b/w pro - I discounted the opinion to which he or she is entitled to. I don't know when a 777 jet engine is not performing perfectly, or a simple air conditioner in my home and I don't need to. I don't NEED to know ANYTHING about a turbocharger, or even...

I don't know enough to know when the car is experiencing "heat soak" or detonation.

Pardon the question, but what is the IC???

I got my CX-7 (AWD GT w/Tech Package) from Galpin Mazda in Van Nuys, CA. Daniel Fox (my salesman) went to the Thousand Oaks dealer to trade cars so he could sell me the car I wanted. Markup? No test drives? Ridiculous! Those in So. Cal, talk to Danel @ Galpin. I have NEVER heard of ANYONE...

I got an incredibly sweet deal from my dealership - as I knew someone in their legal department.

My dearler gave me the song-and-dance about if someone else (non-Mazda authorized repair facility) works on the car, it will violate the warrantee. They sited a case where someone took their car to a quick oil change place, where they didn't tighten the plug, all the oil seeped out, and toasted...

Mine are both quite blue. Saw my first blue deer in the headlights the other night - something you just don't see everyday! :)

Hey there Folks: I bought a CX-7 a week ago, with the "Advanced Keyless Entry". Do any of you know where I could find a thin, nice case for this credit card-sized key? I don't want to trash and scratch this key in my pocket, don't want a metal business card holder (it is a transmitter...

Hey James, Great! If you don't mind I have a few of questions for you. 1. I have 600+ miles on it, and STILL the car has that funky catalytic converter burning smell. Did yours have that, if so, how many miles? 2. The "autopilot" BOSE sound control doesn't seem to work - I really don't notice...

New CX-7 Owner Hey there Folks! As of 07/12/2006, I'm now sporting around in the Los Angeles, CA area with my new CX-7! Sweet ride! It's an AWD Grand Touring model, Black Cherry Mica (just like the avatar), Sand GT leather seats with the technology package. My dealer, Galpin Mazda in Van...
