The feeling of being planted on the road, especially when cornering at higher speeds.

Better rear brakes. I have an annoying noise coming from them that has the mechanics stumped.
Less engine noise from inside the cabin.

2008 Mazda CX-7 Review:
One of the best looking SUV's on the market.
Sleek, sexy lines with a muscular stance.
Dual chrome tipped exhaust pipes gives it a powerful look.
Very quick responsive steering, handles like a sports car when
passing vehicles. Reminds me of my 1980 turbo Trans-Am the way it handles lane changes and sharp cornering.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Mazda CX-7?
This is a great SUV - I have owned a lot of vehicles but this one far exceeds the SUV standards.
Quick response, good handling, very comfortable, enough storage space for my needs.
Love the heated leather interior.
For the guy complaining about his tires - spend a little money and get some quality tires, common - you get what you pay for - don't take it out on the vehicle! I changed my tires to Michelin Primacy MXV4 well worth it. Don't cheap out and you won't have to complain!
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Mazda CX-7?
I wouldn't - I'm happy with the features it has. But if you want a light for the visor mirror and a sunglass holder... then maybe you should consider taking a limo to work!
2008 Mazda CX-7 Review:
I have read some of the other comments and couldn't help but shake my head... common - sunglass holder - lights for the visor mirror - external temp.... Some people are just never happy until they complain about something....... Overall, this is a great vehicle and I would recommend it to anyone.

2008 Mazda CX-7 Review:
GREAT CAR/I HAVE NO IDEA WHO IS REFERRING TO TURBO LAG, THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I BELIEVE MAZDA IS A SECRET NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT YET, NOT EVEN THE GERMANS, FOR THE BUCK, THIS CAR WOULD BE HARD TO EQUAL IN LOOKS AND SAFETY AND VALUE. THEY MADE COMPLETE FOOLS OF NISSAN, IN THE LOOKS DEPT., FURTHER, THIS ENGINE IS THE SAME BASIC MOTOR THEY HAVE HAD SINCE 94, ONLY REFINED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
