This car is too much. The seats are too high and too flat, the interior is too funky, the doors are too small and the dashboard is too wide and too deep. There are too many buttons, too much orange and not enough blue luminescence, too much hard plastic and cheap materials on the inside, and too much turbo lag. Mazda sells this CUV as a small, zippy little car with plenty of go-go, but the CX-7 drives much larger from the driver’s seat. Yep, it handles nicely, it brakes like a goat on a mountain ledge, and it has plenty of power. But thanks to the huge, sweeping dash and the aforementioned seats, the CX-7 feels more boom-boom than zoom-zoom.
