Automotive Faqs

The 2007 Mazda CX-7, which is costs roughly around $20,000, is said to be one of the best crossover SUV vehicles on the road. The exterior of the vehicle is unusual. It has a bold design with a blacked-out grille and of course the large Mazda emblem that stands out letting everyone who takes credit for it.

The front wheels are topped by exaggerated fenders that remind me of Mazda’s RX-8 sports car. They also force the eye down the CX-7’s side profile to the tapered rear windows, which narrow considerably at the rear. Even from behind, the CX-7 shines, with frosted plastic taillights that exhibit an expensive air. Large 17-inch wheels add to the muscular look, as does the low ride height, which also allows for easy access for passengers and cargo.

When it comes to the interior Mazda does a smart job of giving it a sporty look instead of an elegant one. It’s an SUV people it’s supposed to be sporty. The steering wheel is thick and well-padded, and the center dash has large knobs for controlling all the essentials. The only tricky aspect is that the display for the stereo and environmental controls is high on the dash, away from the controls themselves. This is meant to keep drivers from looking anywhere besides the road. Because the dials are so easy to use, the setup becomes second nature after a few days behind the wheel.

The CX-7 moves as sportingly as any midlevel, midsize sedan. Floor the accelerator and you’ll shoot anywhere with gusto and extreme control. With a turbo-charged four-cylinder that produces 244 horsepower and 258 pounds-feet of torque you can imagine how well it can really drive. The only problem you’ll get from it when driving is a little bit of a bumpy ride on the roads, but it doesn’t negate the positives.
