This has more to do with the driving style (drive it hard most times and enjoy the turbo) and probably because I have had it since new. Driving it with care just this week, I am averaging 13.1 litres per 100km and have clocked up 300km with just under half a tank left. Also helps with avoiding speeding fines!

Perfect. Interior looks splendid, don't care about the exterior whilst the drive is good. Who said compact SUVs was the chink in Mazda's armour? Btw I recently test drove a 2.4l RAV4, it has a spacious, attractive, well built interior and very smooth on the road. Liked the boot space & door with the full size spare at the back. The car has not many flaws overall except that the full-size limits rear visibility. Liked the RAV4, 2.4 Outlander is a similar car but with cheaper plastics and more expensive on road costs and no full size spare, but more versatile, spacious and safe with 7 seat option. 2.5 CX-7 will beat them on the road, just waiting for price, specs and economy figures. And will it have a full size spare?

I'm not saying the CX-7 looks very good (anymore) but the Subaru looked outdated when it came out because it wasn't chunky enough and although I wouldn't say it was ugly, it does have the current Subaru awkwardness. It doesn't have the best dynamics either, not bad but not class leading. It has a really cheap interior aswell. I think the Tiguan will probably be class leader and if not the Tiguan, it certainly won't be the Forester. But Tim, it won’t be will it?

THAT will be by far the pick of the SUV hurd. I’m just waiting out for the Turbo Boxer Diesel for the Forester with the new CVT transmision! THAT will be by far the pick of the SUV hurd.

One was promised for the UK in Autumn 2008 but still hasn't happened. The 2.3 petrol is currently being discounted by £8000 to £15000 in an attempt to shift them.

Well I read the CX-7 would get a diesel when the model is facelifted. Perhaps there is no mention of this in the article, because it is a US-spec CX-7. ^Well atleast Mazda offer diesel engines in their passenger vehicles in Oz, unlike other Japanese car companies…

Petrol and Diesel are equivilent in price here now making this a priority for Mazda. Many people simply won't buy a CX-7 without Diesel because of the rubbish fuel economy... “Mazda Australia have stated that the diesel in the 6, will make its way into the CX-7″
