2008 Mazda CX-7 review by CarReview.com
With new additions to the family, many times the sports car has to be traded in for something a lot more practical and sedate. All that is changing with the new class of vehicles such as the Mazda CX-7 and Acura RDX. Being practical doesn’t have to be synonymous with boring.
DUDE TO DADDA lol
bn verga este troka qiero una
@DjLouisFerdinand actually they reprogrammed it to use regular.
@DjLouisFerdinand Same rule applies – use 91 octane fuel. Anything less and the EMS retards the timing to reduce reduce knocking and predetonation. Performance decreases along with fuel economy. Spend the few extra dollars on using the right gasoline from a tier one gas company such as Chevron, Shell, Texaco, or Union 76. Trying to save a few dollars on gas will only come back and bite you in the wallet if you plan on keeping the crossover long-term.

The New 2010 CX7 with the 2.3L DISI Engine 244HP…does it really need premium gas or can use regular gas?? whats the difference?? using regular gas can harm the engine?? this question is for the new model CX7 2010s GT….please reply thanks….
Cons–my AC broke down on my 08 cx 7…it sux!!! now its gonna be like $1000 to fix it! ughhhhh
@lilbean212 – the engine management system will automatically retard the ignition time to reduce knocking and pinging that may harm your engine. Spend an extra couple of dollars and use a good premium gasoline (Chevron, Shell, Texaco, Union 76). Performance and fuel economy will improve by using the recommended octane fuel.
I’ve been driving a 2008 cx-7 for about a year and a half now. I’ve been using regular gas to fill up my tank instead of the premium. I’ve read on other forums that the later models of the cx-7 are able to run fine on regular gasoline. Is using regular gasoline harming my engine in any way? If so, should I go in to get it checked?
@shredingman123 I’m thinking of buying a used 2008 in black, I love the look, do you know if it really NEEDS premium gas?
Exelente carro
“A big MAZDA logo so you wouldn’t forget what brand of car it is”
I LoLed with this statement……BTW, I love crossovers, especially the murano and this one, the cx-7
Yea your right thats why we got rid of ours but we still got another Mazda
I have the new CX 7 and the car looks sexy…the feel is so smooth and the car is great… however in the car when you are going the nosie is too loud.. for a silent drive i prefer hyundai
@cbr600rx7 why be happy without it?It is an amazing and an affordable SUV.
I agree with you on looks, most crossovers look similar to the undiscriminating eye. DRIVE IT, it is a totally different feel, 244 HP on the turbo engine.
LMFAO, what a cheap attempt.
in 2010 they are now standard with a 2.5 liter, you can upgrade to a 2.3 liter Turbo charged engine. From 2007-2009, they only came in 2.3liter turbo.
YOUR AN IDIOT. I had a mustang, and I now own a CX-7. The Mustang was a piece of shit with no function to it, if you get laid (which i doubt you do based on your whiney attitude) you would be better off with the CX-7.
Made in Japan, always good also German’s
esp compare with other Asian products like Chinese or Korean products.
Um i dont know i wish my mom would have given me a 23,000 Dollar car for my 16th birth day. Get a freaking job and get out in the real world. And just be happy you have a good car.
my mom just bought one. i turn 16 next may so it looks like i am stuck with this. why couldn’t she have bought a mustang.
Zoom-zoom experience
it is i think they remapped the ecu for a better compression ratio.
why is that? It is still turbo correct?
