I love this vehicle more than any other on the road today. What holds me back from buying or leasing one is no hybrid nor diesel engine for >30 mpg avg. Period.

No manual transmission?? Definitely a show-stopper on an otherwise appealing car.

Nice engine but terrible gas ecconomy, might as well have a put a 6 cyl in it. Still, I would love to buy one if only you would just make a touring version with heated leather seats and MOST importantly a manual transmission! Please give all us miata owners some zoom-zoom in the second family/crossover vehicle. Call it a Mazdaspeed CX7 if you wish, and/or make it a special limited edition internet order vehicle. No one makes a decent crossover/SUV with an real manual transmission in the states, the need is there. Make one and fill a nitche.

 I would totally buy this car but the only thing that’s drawing me away is the fact that this car does not have heated seats. Mazda should totally make all of their cars look like this car because it looks like a concept car that is worth a lot of $$$$. If not mazda, I bet Honda or Toyota can pull it off.

I’ve had my CX-7 for over a year now and my enthusiasm for it only grows…and it has heated seats!

U should compare it to the Porsche Cayennes looks, it looks better, and the CX-( is hott

good looking car!a deff hit.need the 274 horse motor for speed 3!!and that same motor would go great in a volvo t4!the 274 horse turbo 4 would go great in a volvo based excape cross over!
