Ano insurance nyo?

Ano insurance nyo?

my insurer is federal phoenix. i am also covered for acts of God and with a participation fee of 0.05%

...re CX7, i would definitely recommend it! yup CBU from japan. But you have to compare it with RAV4 2WD since CX7 has only 1 variant here and that is only the 2WD, which is priced almost the same. but value is more...since it comes with leather seats, side/curtain airbags, DCS/TCS, mid, cruise control and much more luxurious interior.

the only useless (at least IMHO) add on for the philippines are the heaters for the 2 front seats. it would have been better to remove this and replace it with some other add on such as ash tray or ipod cable, or dual mufflers, to name a few. but i guess since this is a japan CBU model, then it is expected that there will be heated seats since this is the same model being sold in other countries where there is winter

totally agree...pero pwede na din gamitin as heat compress ...perhaps sa upgrade ng cx7 it will be removed and replaced by what 111prez mentioned...abangan.....

si j*sto, kmusta din sir... oks naman ang MSCP, going strong (sorry OT).. so CX7 ka na pala ngayon.. hehehe...

We're planning to buy a car for my wife and we're really interested to get the CX7.. ganda inside and out...

Thanks for the advice sir. This is one thing that I am considering, if it is locally made or onshore. Hopefully we'll also be a CX7 owner soon! then we can do an MSCP and CX7 joint EB!

a joint EB sounds like a good idea

Hi guys. It's my first time here in the forum.

Just got my CX-7 last Monday (in black), and am loving it. I've always loved the CX-7 since seeing this in the US during my last visit there. Good thing Mazda Phils finally brought it in. Is it true there are only 200 units in the Phils so far?

Plate at last already arrived. Mechanic fabricated plate garnish at front so I can use bolt screw........front bumper removed so sabay na rin installation ng HIDs in both low beam and fog lamps.

congrats nephilim! got black CX7 also. enjoy the ride!

The first batch of CX-7 owners last Nov to Dec. 2009 are about 150 to 170. Then there were only handful of deliveries in early 2010 until March. In April, the second batch of CX7 arrived here(hundreds of them). Now I think CX-7 owners ranges already from 200 to 300 at present. No more waiting lists.

BTW, I wish Mazda Philippines should consider introducing a stripped down version of the CX-7 without the luxury features priced maybe at 1.3M or lower. This would be very competitive versus the 2010 Honda CRV, 2010 X-Trail and soon to be launched and promising 2010 Kia Sportage IMHO.

hi lamborghinione! thanks for the info. anyway, CX7 i supposed is made for that- with luxury features. if mazda will downgrade CX7's features definitely will be a less pogi point/s on the unit. personally, i opted to choose CX7 above any other SUV's coz of these. "CX7 is not an everybody's car", i dont know if you will agree? hehehe! good day guys!

[munskie]

The CX-7 here IMO is already the basic version..

no seat memory (mine doesnt have it although the phil brochure indicates it does, meron ba sa inyo?)
no auto sensor for windshield wipers
no auto sensor for headlamps
17 inch rims (other countries have 18in stocks)
non-HID headlamps


Despite all this, Im still very much impressed I chose this car over other units I considered.

if i am not mistaken, the features above are for the top of the line turbo diesel model.

i think, though i am not sure, that all 2.5L MZR 7s have the same features worldwide

pag natuloy yung JPEPA tiyak baba ang presyo ng mga Japan CBU cars sa atin....

I agree with you, I think many CX7 owners prefers to have the exclusivity factor here in the Phils. But business wise, my idea will help Mazda Phils. to increase its market share and improve its brand image locally.

Have a nice day driving your CX7!!!

*sir Parakito,

Kala ko approve na yung JPEPA. Hindi pa pala. It would be better also if CX7 would be assembled regionally in Thailand or in Ford's laguna plant.

Hi all,

I am new here and been reading all the threads been posted on CX7, should thanks everyone of you else i would not decided to get this ride. I had made a reservation for 2.4L CRV and was ready to deliver, but after seeing the reviews and went for a test drive...change my mind.

Anyway i got a red CX7 from Alabang 4 days after i test drive, all the info i had gather from here is very much correct. The only down side for this car there is no reverse sensor, any good soul can advise me where can i install this? Tried a few shops in Alabang but they said the rear bumper too thick for drill penetration.

Overall it is a great ride and no regards getting this ride.
