Mazda CX-7 used review | 2009-2012 - Cars Guide
Mazda's heavy use of "Zoom Zoom" in its advertising was enough to tell you it was playing the sports card with its cars, no matter the model. From the moment the CX-7 was launched in 2006 Mazda pushed the sporty message, and it didn't back off with the introduction of the Series 2 in 2009. Sleek, flowing lines helped smooth the traditional boxy SUV shape without affecting the... The CX-7 was a five-seater wagon that came in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, and with petrol or diesel power options. At the bottom of the totem was the Classic front-wheel drive model, which offered a more affordable way into the CX-7 family. As well as front-wheel drive the Classic had a 2. 5-litre four-cylinder engine and five-speed automatic transmission. In most driving situations it worked as a regular front-driver, until slip was detected at the front wheels and then drive was directed to the rear wheels as well. Two engines were on offer in the all-wheel drive models. They were a turbocharged 2. 3-litre direct injection four-cylinder engine and a 2. 2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel. On the open road the CX-7 was poised and assured with a nice balance of ride comfort and grip. Source: www.carsguide.com.au
