The 2007 Mazda CX-7 marked Mazda's entry into the compact crossover SUV market. It featured a sporty design and "zoom-zoom" driving dynamics. The CX-7 was produced from 2007 to 2012. Key trims included the base Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. Pricing ranged from approximately $24,000 to $30,000 when new. Its distinctive styling and focus on performance set it apart from more utilitarian competitors, appealing to those seeking a more engaging driving experience.
The Good

The 2007 Mazda CX-7 offered a sporty driving experience, appealing to those seeking fun behind the wheel. Its stylish design was also a major draw. While not the most fuel-efficient, it provided decent value for the price, especially considering its performance capabilities and available features. Comfort was adequate for daily commutes and family trips.

The Bad

The 2007 Mazda CX-7 is known for potential turbocharger issues, especially oil leaks and failures. Fuel economy is below average for the class. Some owners have reported problems with the infotainment system and interior trim quality. Regular oil changes with the correct synthetic oil are crucial to avoid turbo problems.

Analysis

What Problems Does the 2007 Mazda CX-7 Have?

The 2007 Mazda CX-7 is notorious for turbocharger issues. Many owners have reported turbo failures, often attributed to oil sludging due to the turbo's high heat and potentially infrequent oil changes or using the wrong type of oil (synthetic oil is crucial). Oil leaks from the turbocharger are also common. Another frequently reported problem is timing chain stretch or failure, which can also be related to oil maintenance and lead to significant engine damage if ignored.

Fuel economy is consistently below average for the class, and some owners have complained about excessive oil consumption. There have been reports of issues with the variable valve timing (VVT) system. Interior plastics can be prone to cracking or fading.

Recalls for the 2007 CX-7 have included issues related to fuel leakage and corrosion of suspension components in certain regions. Checking the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) website for the latest recall information is recommended. Long-term reliability can be a concern if preventative maintenance is not diligently followed, particularly with regard to the turbocharger and oil changes. Thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised.

How long will the 2007 Mazda CX-7 last?

With proper maintenance, a 2007 Mazda CX-7 can potentially reach 150,000 to 200,000 miles or more. However, reaching these milestones depends heavily on consistent maintenance, especially oil changes with the correct synthetic oil. Neglecting maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan.

Long-term durability weaknesses include the turbocharger (prone to failure if not properly maintained), timing chain, and potential for rust in regions with harsh winters and road salt. The interior materials might show wear and tear over time, but these are mainly cosmetic concerns.
Positive Owner Reviews
Mazgrimz
Perfect car for family with solid income as it can chew (as expected with a turbo) petrol but if maintenance is done regularly as scheduled you shouldn't have any problems timing chain and turbo goe around the same time but once fixed like a new car many miles of problem free motoring ahead with that all said by far the most comfortable car ever driven on road trips.
M.Puente
I have 200,000 miles on my car. I purchased it and became the owner when it had about 150,000 miles I have only done basic needs to the car like oil change tune up but I have had no major issues this vehicle is great and so reliable its unbelievable. I go the the shop to get a computer diagnostics and they constantly tell me the car in in good shape no problems.
Yami
The mazda excellent car for road trips for travel, leisure and reliable. Love the car as well as my kids. I recommend it to anyone.

Lemons they take your hard owed money!! Don't buy a car from them!!! they are crooked. I will never buy a car for them. When you see.. run!!
Putt putt_nozoomzoom
Barely any pickup and a known issue caused the car to shutdown in the middle of highway driving a few years back due to oil issue. Mazda covered it and replaced engine. Still the turbo and premium gas required not worth it! Maybe they improved them in later years...
No more mazdas
Junk motor,,,,, 60400 motor blew. Was a great looking car, just no reliability. Purchased in 2008 with 13,000 miles. Mazda did pay some on the motor but should have paid for all,400 miles out of warranty but their problem.

What Technology & Safety Features are Included?

The 2007 Mazda CX-7 came with standard features like an AM/FM/CD audio system, power windows and locks, and keyless entry. Higher trims added features like a Bose audio system, automatic climate control, and a sunroof. The infotainment system was relatively basic by today's standards, lacking modern smartphone integration features like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

Driver-assistance features were limited compared to modern vehicles. It did not offer advanced features like lane departure warning or adaptive cruise control. Safety features included standard anti-lock brakes (ABS), stability control, and front and side airbags. Some models also had curtain airbags for added protection.

Optional features included all-wheel drive (AWD), which provided enhanced traction in inclement weather. Higher trims also offered leather upholstery and heated front seats for added comfort.

Crash-test ratings from the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) and NHTSA should be checked for specific performance in frontal, side, and rollover crash tests. While generally considered safe for its time, it lacked many of the advanced safety technologies found in newer vehicles. The NHTSA gave the CX-7 four out of five stars for driver and passenger protection in frontal crashes, and five stars for side impact protection.

2007 Mazda CX-7 Prices and Market Value

The 2007 Mazda CX-7 had a starting MSRP of around $24,000 to $30,000 when new, depending on the trim level and options. Currently, used market prices can range from approximately $3,000 to $8,000, depending on condition, mileage, and location.

The CX-7 has experienced significant depreciation over the years, typical for vehicles in its class and age. Factors affecting resale value include the vehicle's condition, mileage, maintenance history (particularly turbocharger maintenance), and overall market demand. Models with extensive maintenance records and in excellent condition will command higher prices. High mileage and a history of turbocharger issues will negatively impact resale value.

2007 Mazda CX-7 Cost of Ownership

The 2007 Mazda CX-7 is generally considered moderately costly to own, primarily due to potential turbocharger repairs and lower-than-average fuel economy. Insurance costs are typical for a vehicle of its type and age. Maintenance costs can be higher than average due to the specific needs of the turbocharged engine. Repair costs can be significant if the turbocharger or timing chain needs replacement. Fuel costs will also be higher than more fuel-efficient crossovers.

2007 Mazda CX-7 Insurance

Insurance for a 2007 Mazda CX-7 is moderately priced, reflecting its status as a Wagon with strong safety ratings and
reasonable repair costs.

How Does the 2007 Mazda CX-7 Compare to Other Wagon?

Compared to rivals like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape, the 2007 Mazda CX-7 offered a more sporty driving experience, but often at the expense of fuel economy and long-term reliability. The CR-V and RAV4 are known for their reliability and practicality, while the Escape offered a more traditional SUV experience. The CX-7's turbocharged engine gave it an edge in performance over the base engines in its rivals, but the turbocharger is also a potential source of expensive repairs.

In terms of features, the CX-7 was competitive, especially in higher trims, but it lacked some of the advanced safety and tech features available on newer models of its rivals. Price-wise, the used CX-7 is often more affordable than comparable CR-Vs or RAV4s, making it a tempting option for budget-conscious buyers.

If reliability is a top priority, the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4 are generally better choices. If you're looking for a similar blend of sportiness and practicality with potentially better reliability, consider a newer Mazda CX-5 (though at a higher price point). The Ford Escape offers a wider range of engine options and trim levels. The Hyundai Tucson is another viable alternative that often provides good value for the money.

Final Verdict: Is the 2007 Mazda CX-7 a Good Wagon?

The 2007 Mazda CX-7 is ideal for buyers who prioritize sporty handling and stylish design over ultimate reliability and fuel efficiency, and who are willing to perform diligent maintenance. It's worth buying as a used car if you find one in excellent condition with a documented maintenance history, particularly regarding oil changes and turbocharger servicing.

A pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic is essential. Opting for a higher trim level can provide more desirable features, but be aware of potential repair costs associated with those features. Consider the potential for higher running costs (fuel and maintenance) compared to more economical alternatives. Only buy if the price reflects the potential for higher maintenance costs.

NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SUV

This SUV is easy to drive, great maneuverability, and virtually no blind spots. I have owned it for 2 years and I still love it. It is classy on the inside, and the turbo engine gives it the "get up and go" that I was looking for. It is fun, and spacious in all aspects. Seats lay down easily at the push of a button. The only reason I am selling, is to upgrade to a newer mazda, because I loved this one so much!!

Disappointed in Mazda on December 29, 2019

Couldn't wait to get rid of it

This was probably one of the worst vehicles I have owned. I bought it with 43000 miles used and sold with just under 101000. Had to have turbo changed twice. Numerous recalls. Hub/bearing problems. We got poor mileage especially for a 4 cylinder. Over the 5-6 years I owned it, it devalued to nearly nothing.
