sir kelangan sundin yung "which ever comes first" lalo na at first maintenance, yan po sabi sa akin nung mechanic sa mazda batangas.

**111prez** · July 21st, 2010 10:25 AM

tama yan, usually dapat yung "whichever comes first"

deym, looks like its time to bring my rig in for its free PMS, hehehehe

Does it really void the warranty if hindi nasunod yung 6 months? I just hit 7k kms, pero 6 months na. I was already contacted by Mazda 3 weeks ago reminding me of the PMS, for warranty reasons daw.

Marami kasi sigurong nagpapaservice sa Makati? Sa Pampanga kasi wala, they need customers, kaya they need to call in customers

Mga brods,

I'm planning to buy CX-7 and I was told that the next batch of shipment is still at the end of Sept. What made me decide were the very good reviews, 5 star crash test rating, the fact that it's CBU Japan, and most especially the superb styling.

I'm going to reserve for the copper red.

Everytime I see one, it makes my heart beat faster.

Zoom zoom indeed...

I just want to share, I installed a drop in filter for our cx7 great response a very big improvement. the engine response is very very noticeable, it is made of stainless steel so the seller told me that i dont need any special oil to clean just wash it. i think its great and the price! its just 2500 pesos. If your interested here is where i got it! btw the brand is hurricane air filter thanks!

I also bought my VTXHID there and they did a very good job installing it!

Curious din ako dito. Hindi pa naman kami kinailangang magclaim ng major parts ever since, pero never naming sinunod yung "whichever comes first". Never din naman kaming sinita ng casa, considering na iba iba naman brands ng auto namin. Baka magiging issue lang ito kapag nagclaim na kami?

problem with these filters is that it lets too much dirt to pass through.

prepare to have oil changes more often than usual, dirty throttle and plugged up sensors and engine problems in the long run.

k&n is still the best among drop in high flow filters without sacrifice on filtering ability.

**boybi** · August 5th, 2010 11:42 PM

I installed an aftermarket filter like K&N before on my Patrol, forgot the brand, it just damaged the Mass Air Flow sensor.

Brought the CX7 to Baguio City last weekend. Noticed that there's a lag when I floor the pedal to overtake. This is my first time to drive the 7 on a long trip using the MacArthur Highway as I seldom travel up north. I didn't noticed this when traveling through the NLEX or SCTEx since I don't have to floor the pedal to overtake.

sir hndi ko na calculate yun FC pero i think may improvement kasi napansin ko na mas responsive yun engine. kunting tapak lang sa gas pedal mas responsive na yun engine.

when i drove from manila to san fernando. la union and back, i used the manual shifting. very responsive. did some pretty tight overtaking and it was no problem

Does the CX7 drive on all four (4) wheels?
Is it using HIDs?

the 7 is only 2WD

the stock lights are not HIDs although the headlights are of the projector type already and HID ready, i believe

Ok thanks 111prez. Yep, i think HID bulbs would fit and be a nice upgrade right off the bat.

**111prez** · August 16th, 2010 10:05 AM

kumusta na mga 7 owners? any issues so far with your zoom zoom?

my odometer already reads 4K and so far no issues. however, its been 8 months since my last PMS and looks like i need to bring her in already

**nephilim** · August 16th, 2010 03:21 PM

2k for me now and no issues whatsoever. This is still the preferred car for me to drive over my other car, a Monty.
