Hi everyone. I haven't been around in a couple of years but thought id tell everyone about my new purchase. Yesterday I traded in my 2007 CX7 Grand Touring for a 2010 CX7s Grand Touring with AWD. The color is stormy blue mica with black leather interior. I'm leasing this one so if anyone has any lease questions, please feel free to ask.
I didnt drive much but I have noticed a few things (some of which I may have missed and some are just little things). The little blue light from the top that shines down into the console is gone. The fan speed control and temperature setting dials are switched. The headlight switch is changed (have to rotate the opposite way to turn on). No compass in the mirror even though the brochure says otherwise. There is one on the multi information display that displays as a regular compass. The indication on the dash no longer tells you what gear the vehicle is in unless you're in manual. I haven't played with the navigation yet so I'm not sure if it's still voice. I'll miss the big touch screen. I felt that was one of the things that made it stand out from other models.
I like the new interior. It no longer has that "cheap" feel as my old one did and it feels more inviting. The blind spot monitor works really well. The indication comes on in the side mirror and it'll beep if I turn on the turn-signal to warn me if it detects another vehicle in case i didnt see the blind spot indication. Don't know if it's standard, but I have two trays in the center console. The rear camera seems better, but that may be because of less sunlight glare from the new position of the display.
That's all I can think of for now. Like I said, some of these are just little things and others I may have missed. Nothing negative about the vehicle, just wanted to state any changes I've seen.
