yep, white is nice and great. but more importantly, masaya ang better half natin. to me this is priceless. now we have a vehicle both of us can drive. at puede na ako pasahero, hindi palagi driver, herherher

[Dunkaroo]

Nice ride guys. I'm waiting for my black CX-7 to be released. Hopefully sooner rather than later as you seemed to like it a lot. Btw, did you get any discounts or freebies?

I agree with this. I inquired with Mazda Makati sometime December last year since my dealership in Quezon Ave. has not updated me on my unit and was told that for me to be priorited the agent from Mazda makati branch told me that if i will have my own bank send them a purchase order, they would require atleast 3% interest/income. Now, that's a hold up!!

im sorry to hear about your experiences guys... talagang ang mga dealers, oppurtunista !! tsk tsk

[111prez]

after all is said, and hopefully to be done, i believe its time to get back to our regular programming for all CX-7 owners to share their rides and experiences

of course, this is not to deny the legitimate grievances of our future 7 owners but this thread was not envisioned to be a gripe site.

these facts are certain however:

1. dealers get unscrupulous and greedy when they have a hot product, be it mitsu, toyota, hyundai, mazda, etc;

2. SAs know little, or none at all, about the product they are selling. worse, they are not upfront in their dealings and promises; and,

3. we all wish there some intervening third party, a government agency, that we can bring our gripes to and address our grievances

our sympathies continue to be with our future 7 owners and perhaps we can address all these in another thread or in a consolidated thread addressing all dealer and SA issues, whatever the brand is

until then, lets all go back to our regularly scheduled discussions and we are more than happy to share information to future 7 owners about our rides

[boybi]

Yes, almost all dealers of all car brands are like that. They have a hot selling item, they will do whatever they want to take advantage of the situation.

But I was surprised by the dealer which I got my CX7. I wasn't required to get their financing package nor their insurance. My bank sent them the P.O. and they accepted it without asking for a dealer's incentive. When they asked if I would get the insurance from them, I just asked for their quotation, but did not get it from them since the quote of my suking insurance was lower and they didn't force me with their insurance. Now that's a rare attitude from a dealer with a hot selling car!

Back to topic:
It takes a while for the aircon to cool the second row. I mean a long while on a hot summer afternoon. If you feel the air coming out of the vents, it's as cold as our other cars. Maybe the insulation used on the car is not that efficient?

i don't think there was really an intention to turn this forum into a gripe site. perhaps the comments were borne more out of frustration because of the eagerness to have a CX-7 to drive as well.

but anyway, if you don't mind sharing some information with future owners. since i may be travelling to canada in the middle of this year and am looking to get some accessories for what i hope is my soon to arrive CX-7.

1) does the driver's side floor have what i imagine to be are hooks for the carpeted floor mats as seen in the US website <http://accessories.mazdausa.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=11601&storeId=10051&cate goryId=3010298&parent_category_rn=3010264&yearSele cted=2010&modelSelected=vc254&modelName=2010+CX-7#3010306>? i imagine they should be the same as the ones available in canada.

2) would it be possible for you to take a picture of the rear of the audio system, particularly the connectors. this is because there are two different ipod adapter harness kits available and i want to make sure that i get the right one?

thanks

Hello... Just want to ask what shade of 3M tint looks good with the copper red mica?

[111prez]

welcome to the thread fruitz

si boybi ata ang mayroong red 7 sa atin

ako white 7 but decided not to put tints on the windshield and two front windows. as for the rear windows, its tinted glass already and sufficient for me

[boybi]

I have a red CX7. I put 3M medium black on the windshield, magic black on the front windows, and super black on the rest.

[rmrivera0602]

hey guys! i'm back.yes!!!got my cx7 already! finally. black, and i love it! smooth ride,and enjoying the sounds with my ipod. had it installed with parking sensors, front and rear. ganda ng cx7! the kids and my wife love it also! hope lahat ng may gusto ng cx7, will get their units soon!!!

[Djerms]

I saw one in flesh yesterday and all I can say is WOW! I like the syling better than our Tucson. I hope FC is good too.

Boybi, I also noticed the same re AC on our Tucs. Medyo matagal lumamig sa likod when parked under direct sunlight. Baka ganun talaga. Hehe.

Hi!

*111prez - Thanks

*biboy -Thanks for the input. Haven't had the tint installed yet but am thinking of placing medium black (windshield, 2nd row & rear) & super dark (front doors). Sana ok I'll have it done when it's due for the first 1000 checkup.

It also looks nice as-is without the film but I'm afraid the scorching heat of the sun will be at its peak this summer.


*rmrivera0602 - How much did you get your front & rear sensors for?

I play my iPod touch using aux cable. Is there anything I can do to be able to access my ipod files using the car's controls/buttons? :D

I love the ride, btw, it's a nice-handling car.

[macuser]

I got a call from Mazda Batangas, they have a black CX-7 available, if anyone wants it. Look for Kim, you don't have to tell her I referred you.

I'm still waiting for a white one.

As expected, no word from Mazda Greenhills, even if other dealers have already told me that they are expecting a shipment in the next two weeks.

I'll just have to wait and see, I guess.
