The CX-7 Owner's Thread

[111prez]

Sir 111prez, based from my observations, usually Mazda/Ford cars has an average 0.3 Km/L error(which is better than its main competitors) from the manual computation. This is true if you always reset the Trip Computer reading for average fuel consumption always during refuelling(Fuel warning light already ON).

do you mean i will have to top up only when the fuel warning light is on? i usually top up when the needle is at least 1/4

dati, when i topped up using the one click/automatic method, the manual reading versus the computer reading was fairly the same. baka the "sagad" method messed up my reading?

wooohoooo !!!!!!!!!!!! great to have you onboard. i am sure you will enjoy your new baby. dont forget to share your own experiences and notes. after all, as fellow owners, we would like to learn more about our own ride. you can also check the international CX-7 forum at www.mcx7.com. we have fellow pinoy CX-7 users there based in the U.S. our "official" thread there is entitled "the cx-7 has finally landed in the philippines"

mukhang kailangan ko na i-update ang owners list ah

For more accurate manual FC reading (and Trip computer reading), usually we do refuel when the fuel warning light turns ON already. Then reset the Trip meter and Average FC reading(Trip Computer)

If you're not computing the FC, it's better to refuel again at 1/4 level because this will avoid impurities in fuel clogging the oil filter. Others prefer to flush out the impurities and change regularly the oil filter.

thanks for the tip. much appreciated as i have never done my manual FC computation this way. i will do this on my next top up

got this from the motioncars.com website:

Engine - 2.5 DOHC 16V I4
Maximum Output (bhp * rpm) - 163 * 6000
Maximum Torque (Nm * rpm) - 205 * 2000

is this it?

its torquey, and enough to go side by side the 3rd. gen CRV.
it can do >200kph. its more than enough...

anyway for hp about that...
its wrong for the torque though...Mazda North America specs says
161lb-ft. that's about 22.4Kg-m. (converted to 219Nm)

Finally got the Red CX-7!

Pero walang kasamang front fog lights, naubusan daw ng stock sa Japan. Mazda will ship in the fog lights separately and darating daw by mid Feb.

[sherwintommy]

puede din fun run. may north (boybi di ba tarlac ka?) and south (are you from batangas CX7?) na tayo

sarap mag highway sa CX-7 talaga

[boybi]

Yes, it's free.

Btw, ang lakas ng busina ng CX7 for a stock horn. One of the first things that I modify in a new car is the horn, mukhang di na kelangan palitan itong sa CX7.

yep, malakas nga. talo pa yung dati kong stebel magnums. in fact i removed it from my patrol para malagay ko sana sa 7 pero no need pala. ayun, naka tago nalang yung busina

matanong nga sa dealer kung anong klase at brand itong busina na ito

[boybi]

The 2nd row of the CX7 is really cramped, and the ingress and egress is quite hard for my size (5'10"). Didn't know why I haven't noticed this while checking it out at the dealer.

The plastics used in some parts of the dashboard and the steering wheel are not as high grade as those used in other Japanese cars. But still better than Korean brands.

Aside from the things mentioned above, the CX-7 is still a notch better in build quality and ergonimics than most SUVs of its class. The CX7 is a driver's car nonetheless.

[111prez]

one of the things i noticed regarding the 2nd row seat is that the windows are high and the seats feel "lubog." it feels more like a cocoon rather than a second row seat. but then again, perhaps this is the design as intended for either external aesthetic reasons and/or overall safety reasons. definitely, medyo malayo ang seating position from the high seating position of a GU patrol or pajero. i have not had the chance though to compare this with the seating position of other CUVs or sedans. come to think of it, once lang ako nagiging back seat passenger nung nag test drive ang mga magulang ko and medyo tago ang feeling ko
