Good car. It is very reliable, but it had bad lights. I have had to replace headlights. I love this car though! It is my go to car for traveling because of lots of room. I enjoy driving it around the city as well. I have had this car for 3 years and it is been good to me so far.

Mazda cx-7 review that I love! Such an awesome card to have.
I currently drive a Mazda cx-7 and I love it because it is so spacious and comfortable. Me and my family love to take it out on road trips. All of the seats lay completely down and we've actually even moved large items in it. We've even been able to fit an entire mattress in it and a couch! It is great when you have a large extended family so we can always pick up lots of my kids cousins and pile everyone in. I like that it is not super flashy and does not draw a lot of attention! The seats are heated and the ac is always cold. We've not had many problems with it since we've had it. It is very reliable and if something does go wrong it is always going to be easy to fix!

It works well for our family of four, it's an affordable car too so that helps
It's a comfortable car, easy to drive. Had issues with the engine before but has been reliable since it was fixed.

It is very safe, low maintenance and gets great gas mileage.
My car runs well and gets good gas mileage. I rarely have any issues with it. The only dislike would be the amount of recalls on my car, which have been inconvenient and time consuming to get fixed.

Working but not liking it.
The cab is tiny and hard for me to get in and out of, the fabric on the doors is missing or lifting and the seats force your rear into strange shapes, the rear wiper is unreliable and the system is very difficult to work with just to hook up the Bluetooth. There are a few other items like the window not moving but the are minor.

Reliable car, good for families and driving around town
Bought it before the birth of our first child. We wanted to have more space and not have to lean down into a car. It lacks lots of bells and whistles that newer cars have, but it has been extremely reliable and safe for us.

Mazda cx-7- an awesome ride for a party of five.
This is a very reliable car and comfortable car for a family of 5. It is very stylish and does not feel like an SUV. It has great gas mileage and has heated seats. We use it to drive out of town and it is reliable. We also like the parking camera installed that allows us to see what is behind us.
Deborah J
on January 24, 2021
The size we needed at the time.
Had no problems with vehicle. Needed something for elderly parent to get into, but still had the feel of an SUV. Driving/handling is outstanding and having regular maintenance has kept it running smoothly. I would recommend this vehicle to friends and family.

It is a reliable vehicle at affordable price. Well worth the money.
Reliable vehicle. I have owned it for 7 years and had never had problems with it.
Barbie V

Love my 2011 Mazda cx-7, cannot wait to upgrade to the new cx 5!
There are a couple of blind spots that make it tough to see the cross walks while at stop lights. There is not any lumbar support, so it is tough for long road trips, but overall I love the car. It is fun to drive, lots of pep and gets decent gas mileage!
Ashley J
on January 1, 2021
That it can have recalls and engine problems.
It has great gas mileage which I love! And I love the style. I dislike that there is engine problems.
Clarizcel R
on January 1, 2021
I love the space in the car. I enjoy driving it as its fast and smooth. My only issue is it is not gas efficient and so I don't like to drive it too often.
4 wheel drive. Turbo sport vehicle. Great for outdoor trips. Horrible on gas.
Clara P
on December 31, 2020
I love driving it and have very few problems with it.
It performs well and drives smoothly. The gas tank is small so you have to fill it up more often, but that also means you do not have to spend as much money at one time. The headlights are not at optimal brightness for me and although it has good ventilation in the front, it is not felt as well in the back.
Angie L
on December 22, 2020
Mazda for the win! Black diamond.
My car had been the best. It is comfortable to sit and drive in. Mazda does a great job fixing things if needs updates or repairs. I used to drive long distances and it has held up great. I would recommend this type of car to everyone. Mazda does a great job making their car last and for all circumstances. But I would recommend have 4 wheel drive. My car does slide easily in winter.

We love our Mazda CX7. Would like another one
We Absolutely love it, great on gas. If they still made them I would not hesitate to buy another one
Joseph R

2011 Mazda cx 7, owned for 2 years.
The car overall is great. It is pretty decent on guess and it has quite a bit of room inside. I am upset that it being 2011 that it doesn't have hands free Bluetooth. Aux cord it is. The only major mechanical problem I have had is the ac. Spent 400$ on it over a year ago and no issues yet. Seems to be a common issue in these vehicles. If I had the choice again, I'd pick a different color other than black.
Gretchen G
on December 2, 2020
Positive vote for Mazda autos.
No real problems. The car has always performed well and has been very reliable. The comfort level is moderately good and the radio could be improved to add more power and reach. I would recommend this car to anyone wanting a reliable moderately priced automobile.
Mark W
on November 21, 2020
4-wheel/all-wheel drive, stopped production of this model.
Problem with turbo, leaking oil bad, shifts rough. Ac does not put out enough cold air, not very good gas mileage.
Cynthia R
on November 14, 2020
The best Mazda that was ever made.
I have loved my SUV since day 1. Have driven it to Florida 6 times and it has not given me any problems, it is so roomy and has all of the bells and whistles that anyone could ask for in a vehicle. Easy to maintain and great on gas. We take it everywhere we go.
David V
on November 14, 2020
Mazda cx-7 is reliable, but not loveable.
Extremely reliable, very good in a crash, but not very spacious inside, the turning radius makes city living difficult, and the turbo lags for several seconds before you achieve any acceleration. The stiff suspension does not mesh well with the deteriorating American roadways.
Corinne J
on November 10, 2020
Perfect vehicle for your family
I love my CX7. It isn't necessarily the smoothest ride but she's roomy and easy to handle at high speeds. Awesome truck for family travel.
William M
on November 9, 2020
Small, compact and fun to drive.
Great gas mileage and very comfortable to drive. All the controls are easily accessible from the driver's seat. Living in a winter climate it is extremely nice how quickly it heats up and warms up the passenger compartment. I do wish that the headlights were brighter though.
Jeanette C
on November 5, 2020
Mazda cx-7: they (literally) do not make them like this anymore.
Love the factory options: the Bose stereo, the Bluetooth, apple play, and all controls on the steering wheel. I bought this car used, but if I'd purchased it new I'd have opted for the touch screen display options and navigation. I also love the heated seats. The only problem I have had thus far is with the driver's side door/window/locks. I have had to replace the actuator, the switch, and something else I cannot remember. In hindsight I'd have preferred the cx-5 just because it is slightly shorter and therefore a little easier to maneuver. The cx-7 is good for transporting families. I can fit two teenage boys and a car seat for my grandson in the back seat.
Alicia D
on November 1, 2020
It's difficult to clean, so don't mind the crumbs in strange places I can't seem to figure out how to remove!
I love the size of my CX-7. It's perfect for road trips with friends but yet small enough for everyday errand running.
Kaitlynn W
on October 28, 2020
My Mazda cx-7 and the journey we have had.
Is not a solid vehicle many recalls. I will say it has been decent. I have had it for nearly 6 years now and no major issue as far as transmission goes. I do the love the space. I’d have to say that is my favorite part! Not just trunk space every area has a decent amount. Never feel cramped.
Jeremy B
on October 15, 2020
It's a reliable vehicle with some nice features and is a smooth, comfortable ride.
I've just had it too long and want a new vehicle. I've never had any major issues with my current vehicle though. I just want to get a truck now.
linda M

If you want a reliable SUV purchase a Mazda.
I am mostly satisfied with the performance of my vehicle. Gas mileage is average to good. I mostly use in town so would be better if had more highway driving to average in. Have had relatively no problems with it but maintain it on a regular basis. The only thing I am not happy about is the turning radius. Seems like it takes a wide circle to turn into a parking space for instance. My old car (a ford Taurus) would turn on a dime.
Cynthia C
on September 22, 2020
Kid friendly plenty of trunk room an if maintained she is really good on gas.
So I love the make of the car. It rides really good. An has an amazing ready an speaker set. But it burns the oil hot, and the only other issue I have is that it seems when something tears up it is extremely expensive it is to fix. Otherwise its a smooth ride and plenty of room for my 3 babies. I wish it had more.
Ashley S
on September 18, 2020
It is been a very good car.
This vehicle we have had for 4 years and have had absolutely no problems besides regular oil changes and tire changes. This vehicle drives amazing and has the slap shift gear shift that goes from automatic to standard that is wonderful for passing vehicles. Overall it is a great vehicle and has served its purpose it has not got enough for my three boys and if someone else is going so we had to get a 7 passenger van.
Beth S
on September 18, 2020
It has airbags everywhere in the car.
I love that it fits my family comfortably. The trunk has plenty of space for whatever I need to put there. I love the look of my cx-7.
Matthew C

Headlights keep burning out and expensive to replace
I love the size of the car. It gets great gas mileage. The front headlights keep burning out and they are very difficult to replace. The tires are also extremely expensive.
Mary N
on September 15, 2020
It is stylish and dependable.
Handles well. Body shape has not changed much in newer models. It has been a very dependable vehicle. I wish I had leather seats.
Jessica L
on September 12, 2020
Mazda cx-7 fair but not the best.
My car was good for the first few years. However, two of my window motors to roll down my window are already messing up. If I try to roll them back up I have to manually pull the window up because the window gets off track of the motor. I have a lot of outside noise that I wish I didn't have. Mechanically I haven't had any problems. I would not suggest buying black because of scratches and chips in paint showing very easily.
Ethan P
on September 6, 2020
Safe cozy family ride, talk folks beware.
Bought the car to have an all season vehicle. It is a smooth ride, runs really well. Maintenance is not too costly except the large tires. Changing the headlamps is terrible due to a design issue where you have to access through the wheel well. It is very comfortable inside, plenty of space in the back. Nice features like Bluetooth and audio controls on the steering wheel. Safe! I have been in a moderate accident and came out totally fine. Fits a baby seat behind the passenger well but does compromise a bit of leg room so taller folks beware.
Arieta H
on September 3, 2020
Great car, poor headlights.
My headlights need to be replaced every 6 months. It is a great car but I hate having to pay to replace them. I recently had to buy a new headlight assembly for both sides. Apparently this is a common problem in mazda’s and will definitely affect my decision when I go to buy my next car.

Mazda CX-7: Comfortable with heated seats
Overall this vehicle has been pretty good to me considering how old it is. Its comfortable but could be slightly bigger. It has heated seats and would be nice if it also had air conditioned. I haven't had many issues since having this car
Stacy S

The Mazda cx7 is a comfortable and reliable SUV on the smaller side.
The Mazda cx-7 is a reliable car and comfortable. It is easy to get in and out of unlike sedans or larger SUVs. It drives well and is easy to handle. It gets good gas mileage due to its smaller size and makes it easy to handle. The car did have 2 recalls, steering wheel and airbags, but other than that, if you do regular maintenance (oil change, etc.) It is a reliable car.
Tina V
on August 9, 2020
Mazda cx-7 stands the test of time.
Incredibly reliable and comfortable. The biggest complaint is the a/c is not powerful enough in Florida during the warmer months, despite working at the optimal level for the car. Is efficient up to 80 degree outdoor temp. (issue is common, not specific to my car) have had no powertrain issues, however in the last year I did have to have repair on the door locking system (driver door needed manual locking, fob didn't work. Vehicle is still modern looking, and spacious. Great acceleration.
Paige R
on August 4, 2020
The most important for me is that it's can fit my two car seats. Have had problems with them fitting in other cars.
I needed a family car and this was the one I chose. I have three dogs and two kids in car seats. We have enough room in the bag for the car seats and still have enough room to move the front seats back. The dogs fit in the back. Would be nice to have vents for the back seat but that's the only problem.
Stephen H
on August 2, 2020
Crossover that does few things right and many things wrong.
The car feels cheap in many aspects. Plastic parts seem to fail after moderate use. Driver side window motor started to malfunction after 5 years and door handles found on the outside are coming loose. While the car is not very powerful acceleration wise, the gas pedal is finicky and will jolt the car forward if it is not gently used.
Lisa U
on August 1, 2020
It is an amazing driving car.
I love my car but it has this squeaking noise I do not know what the noise is it is not the brakes we had them checked.
Lynn J

Great lines. Smooth handling.
I really have no problems with my vehicle. It is a very reliable and comfortable car. The features are great, such as a great sound system, rear camera and heated seats. The car has great acceleration and handles nicely. Can stop on a dime. Plenty of room for extra passengers or luggage. Hatchback provides easy access to trunk.
Paule D
on July 26, 2020
It is nice and big. I like the seamless Bluetooth.
My vehicle is simple but a nice car. Over time the windows broke and the locks took longer to lock. But it is nice because it has a Bluetooth connection for music. It is a big size and has a nice sized trunk back seat and front seats. The option to have window fluid on the inside and spray it out to clean the windows is nice. Cup holders and car chargers.

I am loving my used Mazda.
I bought this car used with only 66,000 miles on it and it is almost new!! I took it to the local Mazda dealership to take care of all the safety recalls that weren't done by the previous owner. They told me that the car was in excellent condition and only needed new back brakes and rear tires. Aside from basic upkeep, oil changes, tune up, ect, this car has not needed anything else done.
carmela A
on July 22, 2020
We take the good and the bad, mostly good.
Good solid car. I wish it had all wheel drive and I wish that when you step on the gas it would not jerk forward instantly giving people whiplash. I am a good driver and this feature make me feel amateurish. Pretty good on gas. Works great Bluetooth wise with my iPhone for making calls, navigation and Pandora.
Hailey G

Mazda really gets it done!
Such an amazing car! Bought it used a couple years ago, and still runs the same as when I bought it. It is super reliable, and has gotten me to and from my university several times, among other little road trips me and my friends take. It is a 4-door, and has pretty decent gas mileage. Highly recommend.

Mazda-a great first car!!
Great comfort, tight steering, all around good first car. It is also highly rated for safety and crash tests. Only problem is that it takes off really fast, you have to have a light foot to not rocket off. Also it sometimes will not turn on the defroster when it is cold outside so you have to be alert when it is cold.

2011 cx-7 grand touring Mazda review.

My Mazda has served me well and I have no complaints.

My Mazda is my dream car. Very reliable and safe.
The car is very sporty and cute. It drives well and it is very safe. I enjoy driving a Mazda.I plan on upgrading my car very soon to a Mazda cx 5. Mazda are very reliable, safe and convenient. The features in the car is great as well. The interior is nice and the seats are very comfortable.

2011 Mazda cx-7 keeps going strong.
It has held up pretty well with over 200,000 miles on it. We have kept up with maintenance for the most part. Not many special features but has served us pretty well. Has proven to be reliable, comfortable and performs well. Bought it used so clock didn't work for long. Wish it had the newer digital radio features.

Mazda cx-7 review from a mom's point of view.
The only problem I have had is that the aux cord no longer connects. And I have had to have the ac replaced after only owning the car for 4 years. The rest of the car is great. The trunk has plenty of space for cargo and the back seat is spacious and comfortable. I do wish there were air vents in the back because it does get kind of warm back there during the summer. It is quiet and drives smooth.
Aaron T
on June 11, 2020
Good balance of features, styling, and fuel economy.
I like that it get very good gas mileage and is easy to drive. I think it is very stylish. It has good cargo room and can seat 5 if needed.
Christian H
on June 10, 2020
It gets decent mileage and drives well.
I like that it is a smooth driver and gets good gas mileage. I really dislike how the ac is weak and there are no back vents for people who sit in the back seat. Especially in the summer when it gets in the 100s.
Milton K
on June 5, 2020
Great driving vehicles good gas mileage.
Good car I would recommend it to a friend. I bought it used but it has not given me any trouble..Gas mileage is good and it handles well. I think this would be a good car for a road trip. I like the fact that it drives in manual or automatic I don't think this model should have been discontinued.
Lori C
on May 24, 2020
I love the roominess, safety and that most of the features .
I hate that the car will not unlock with the key from both sides. However I love that there's plenty of room in it for my stuff. I also love the front and side airbag features for safety. Someone told me they were in this type of car and had a major accident and the airbags help save them from having any major injury.
Jose O
on May 18, 2020
My car that I enjoy driving.
No problems as of right now, I love going for a drive often. Rides are smooth and cause no problems, gas is fairly priced, and it is great for a night drive. It is a 4 cylinder and is good on speed so I get to where I need to go. Finally I can afford the pricing to keep up with the car.
Liz R
on May 14, 2020
Cx-7 more pros than cons.
Great gas mileage, rarely has issues. Has a great amount of space in the car. Also one of the safest to drive. Has ac/heat and power locks and windows. Only downside is the amount of recalls it has had, but they have all been covered by Mazda. Tire prices are reasonable.
Laura M

Buy this make Mazda. Great vehicle.
Easy to load. Comfortable seating. Great Bose sound system, good gas mileage. Fold down seats are great. Enough room for dog bed and the ability for him to stretch out. Easy handling. Good position of outside mirrors. Handle well on straight away and curves.
olivia T
on April 27, 2020
Out of everything in the car I liked the sound system. One of the best out of everything in the car. The engines are loud but not too loud. You would have to upgrade your car to get a louder car.
The car is nice and it don't burn a lot of gas which is fine. Have a lot of miles. I don't know a lot about cars but I would inspire you guys to buy that car. I like how the seats are and the technology. The sound system is good too.
Debbie H

Great car for families that is easy to maintain.
Good size SUV that is easy to get in and out of. No need to climb up and hoist yourself to get in or feel like you need the jaws of life to pull yourself out like lower sedans. Good mileage comfortable ride and easy to maintain. Really easy to drive and get in and out of parking stalls and tight spaces easily. I have a family of 4 which includes a spouse, teenager, and an 8 year old and we all fit comfortably. The trunk is a good size to haul golf bags and a trip to Costco with no problem.
Ana C

The Mazda cx-7 is a perfect family vehicle. I love how much space it has.
It is reliable, comfortable, decent gas mileage and has been great for me as a single mom. I think it is also a very stylish vehicle and I am now very fond of the Mazda brand. My vehicle has cloth seats which I prefer to leather because they stay temperate and do not get too hot. My kid loves the windows. There’s a lot of storage with folding seats which I love.
Miranda S
on March 2, 2020
Suv that is perfect size for anything. Also has a DVD player in the back
Great heated seats, and awesome sound system. It's a sports utility car so it has great pick up and moderately good gas mileage. The only thing is that it needs super premium gas.
Joseph R

2011 Mazda cx 7 I-sv with 149,000 miles.
The car overall is good. A lot of interior space and it being higher from the ground is nice. Wish I would of gotten the AWD version. The only major issue I found is the ac system is not quite that strong and something on it tends to go out often. Overall 3 out of 5 stars for this model.
Paige D
on February 13, 2020
A smooth ride with lots of space!2.
I love that my car has so much space for not being a super huge car. The seats fold down to create a larger trunk space and you can fit a lot back there! I drove this car through Canada in order to move and had absolutely zero problems with it. I even was able to fit all of my belongings that I moved within the trunk! The Bluetooth on the radio is really easy to connect. The car itself drives really smooth and all things that have to be regularly maintenanced are really easy to get to.
Robert G
on February 5, 2020
There is a blind spot in the rear. I cannot see a low vehicle at the rear quarter or below the rear window.

The speakers are amazing!
Problems that is I have had with my car so far is transmission, and also the windshield wipers are not the beat as well. The headlight coverings are really foggy causing the lights to appear more dim then they actually are. I have had to replace the transmission at 123k miles.

Mazda Cx7 is a great vehicle I would buy another one.
We've had the car for about 7 or 8 years now and it's holding up really well. I trust driving it in the snow and the rain obviously not as fast but it feels heavy and sturdy like I don't worry about skidding. The brakes have been making noise and sometimes feel like they won't catch but I'm sure that's due to negligence on our part. The only real issue we've had is with the transmission but I can't remember if that came from something we did or didn't do or if it was a mechanical error.
Betty P

Great car!! Drives great, no issues or problems,.
Very comfortable, great gas mileage, heated front seats, easy access controls on steering wheel and dash. Very reliable with no issues.

Good car, no major problems.
I have had no major mechanical problems but do have some rust - mostly around paint chips. I had one issue with the automatic windows, they got stuck down, but it was a quick fix, the electrical component came unhooked. I would recommend against the light upholstery as it stains easily.
Maddie G

Safe family car, reliable, and has amazing a/c.
It is a very safe car! I nanny in the summer and it is the perfect car to have for it. I feel safe with this kids in this car because of the safety ratings it has. The a/c is kicking! Overall it is such a reliable car and has yet to cause me any trouble. My mechanic even told me that Mazda's are super safe and he's glad I chose it.

Michelle S

Basic midsize SUV with little identity.
Cx7 is FWD, good space, with outdated electronic console. The black finish highlights dirt very easily. Bumper damage is more expensive to fix than Honda. Poor gas mileage, and you need a mechanic to change the headlights. It is not a good interior finish if you have dogs.
Nikki M
on November 16, 2019
Lots of room for a family of 4 and large dog.
Heated leather seats, remote start, sunroof, large space in back, fits our large dog comfortably. Navigation screen and Bluetooth. Great car other than it burns a little oil. Super reliable, have yet to have a major issue. Front grill is plastic so a curb cracked it. I really love my car, I do wish it had third row seating though.

From 9 miles in 2011 to 90k miles in 2018.
My car is awesome. Have had from new with 9 miles and now have just over 90,000. Have not had any major problems with it other than normal wear and tear. Interior had upheld well with leather heated seats and Bose sound system. Mechanically is phenomenal just wish it had a bit better pick up but what do you expect from a 4cyl.

Compact but Smooth riding Mazda CX-7
I like the way the vehicle drives. It is very smooth with good steering. It is easy to drive. I like the steering wheel. I have leather seats which I love. They are great for kids. It has Bluetooth. It also has controls for the radio on the steering wheel. I also have electric seat adjustment which is nice. You are able to adjust more than vehicles with manual. This model is smaller than some crossovers. The biggest downfall is that it is not as comfortable to ride. It is fine for me with my two kids in car seats but not good for my husband to drive with the car seats since he is so tall. It has a decent amount of trunk space. My husband does not like to change the oil in my car. He says it is complicated. Also, there is only one tire that fits the rim size. That is kind of frustrating. Overall I have been happy with this car.

Luxury at a cheap price point.
Knock on wood, the cx7 has been amazing.Over 241,000 miles and no. Major issues since I bought it new. I have had smooth driving and easy maintenance to keep it running. Great mileage overall as well. The heated seats are probably the best add on plus the sun roof makes it seem. Very fancy.

It's affordable and we feel safe in it, it works for our family.
It's a 2011 MAzda, silver. We had issues with the engine before where the car would just turn off on its own. We had to fix it and has been doing well since.

Positive aspects of my Mazda cx-7.
My vehicle is comfortable to drive and has easy to use controls. I had to replace my engine after only owning my vehicle for 1 year. It was some kind of weird engine thing that happened. Other than that, I really like my car a lot. It has some really nice features, such as Bluetooth enabled hands free phone use. Bluetooth enabled music is also available by using our smartphones. The air conditioning and heat both work pretty well. The front seats are heated, which is nice. There is quite a lot of cargo room in the back, for it not being a really large vehicle.

Comfortable warm ride with great sound system.
I runs great but it does not get great gas mileage. It has added features that make it nice to drive but it has a lot of road noise. The headlights get foggy really fast and even with trying to clean them they are not very clear. I love the heated seats and the Bluetooth feature.

I have had my Mazda for three years and have been loving it.
The car is great. I have had it since my senior year of high school and have had no problem with it. The only problem is that being in the sun caused the space above the car radio to raise and detach. However, that is the only issue that arises. I drive a lot for both work and school so it is nice to have a reliable car like this. As for repairs no oddities have come up. So far I have just needed to get a battery change and the usual oil and tire changes.

Mazda CX-7 Strengths and Weaknesses
I love my car for the most part. The biggest problems that I have had for the last 8 years is that the buttons for the windows have fallen off of the driver side. Also the leather that is on the driver side door has come a part. Also there are no air conditioning jets in the back of the car which makes it hard to cool down the car when you have people that are in the back of the car. There really is not a lot of travel room in the back of the car. Also the verbal hands free command system is really difficult to add numbers to and not easy maintenance. It ends up being easier to just talk through siri on your phone to call people. I also don't think they thought through the radio buttons, the biggest one is to change the station and the smaller one is for the on off switch which is kind of backwards. They don't even make my model of car anymore but I have over 100,000 miles on my car and it runs like a champ! There are also attachments for car seats for babies in the back. The back trunk also has handles that allows the seats to go down in the back to easily allow more trunk space. The cruise control is very easy to use, and the radio settings are also very user friendly. The attachment for the phone charger is not convenient.

I have not never had any issues with it at all! I love all the features and I've only had to buy 1 set of tires since I bought the car in 2012 and it is now 2018.
Very roomy, haven't ever had any issues with it. Dislike how quickly the headlights burn out and that there are several blind spots.

It is a small SUV- which is great for parking.
There is not enough leg space in the back. Currently have a baby and the car seat takes up a lot of room which means the passenger seat has to be up. The leather is not helpful during the hot summer months. Overall, we have out used this car. Next car will try and get with more leg space and not leather.

It's a really smooth, comfortable drive that easy to handle
In general, I love the handling and speed of the crossover. For an "older" vehicle, it has nice features (heated leather seats, loaded steering wheel, etc); the trunk space holds a lot, and it's really easy to flip the back row down so we can load even more items in the crossover as needed.

Blind spot. I recommend adding small circular mirrors onto the side views.
Great car, not much to complain about. Engine can feel a bit jumpy at times, especially when braking, but this could just be my vehicle. Overall, a reliable and roomy ride good for loading up or taking the family out.

I really like the fact my car radio says hello and goodbye.
My door handle broke off my radio tells me hello and goodbye when I start and turn the car off. My back door handle is loose. The speakers work amazingly. I'drives smooth. It is candy apple red. The CD player works great. I wish it took more than one CD. The radio antenna works great.
