However, the engine’s performance also had its drawbacks, namely in fuel economy, which, for a four-cylinder was quite disappointing. in the city with 22 on the highway ranks
Mazda CX7 lower than competitors like the
Mazda CX7 And don’t forget, due to the turbo, the
Mazda CX7 must run on premium grade fuel. But hey, like we said, the
Mazda CX7 has the soul of a sports car – for better or worse.
