Buying the 2007 Mazda CX-7

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2007 Mazda CX-7; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2007 Mazda CX-7, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The numbers in plain words

Power: the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

It is rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined, so budget about 37 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $21.70, and a 300 km weekend about $65.10. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.

Space and size

Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

Drive it on your own roads

A week with the CX-7 answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the CX-7 answers the big questions. Try the CX-7 on your commute, then decide.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Choosing the right one

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
