I recently test drove a CX-7 Sport. I experienced the same strong, burning smell mentioned in earlier posts. The salesman told me the smell is the coating on the brakes and will go away once the coating burns off. After reading some of the posts above, I’m not so sure the salesman was being honest with me…..just how long does it take to burn off?????

I see what your saying about the Mazda Cx7 having big blindspots, but Mazda more than compensates for that. Some of their new technology for detecting if a car is in your blindspot is really amazing. Plus, if that fails, you could always just turn your head a look back to see if anyone’s there.

I also have 2010 CX-7 2.3 DISI Turbo and I was so angry when I got it from the dealer and I could feel a strong burning smell like oil/rubber/circuit mix! It has just 100km on it and i think the smell is less and less noticeable. I hope it will go away entirely with next 100km. Dealer said I was the first to report such problem.

I have a 2010 CX-7,, I agree with James. The Road-Noise is way to loud. There are some points when I’ve actually had to check to see if there is an Eighteen Wheeler beside me. I also have the odor issue when running the A/C in recirculation mode, it’s almost like a burnt rubber smell. I smell it on my cloths when I get out. I had the dealer check this when I went for my first oil change. They couldn’t smell it.

Road-Noise is really too high. It gets worst when you turn the stereo on and realize that that noise is still there. It’s a very bad feeling, and I had to take my other cars and drive them on the same high-way/same speed to confirm it. The tires are Bridgestone, made in Japan, and yes, I wonder if a different style/brand would make a difference. Overall, the car is fantastic for the price, though I’m returning it to the dealer, because I can’t stand that noise.

Coming from a salesperson, the explanation sounds bogus to me. Any smell of something burnt is not a good thing. Sometimes oil is accidentally spilled on hot parts of the engine or exhaust, and that will burn away without any problems.

I don’t think the smell you detected is indicative of any real problems with the CX-7 in general, but I would have the problem thoroughly inspected on the specific car you test drove. Or just pick another CX-7 from their inventory.

I am interested in CX-7 and also did a test drive. Very good feeling of it. However, while I was doing the test drive, a strong smell of circuit burning burning came out. after stop by gas station to pump gas, the sales consultant told me that first drive of new car always gives this kind of burning smell. Is it true? I worry about the potential safety bug.

I also disagree with most of this review–although I own the 2010 CX-7 Touring model, which has the turbo engine and AWD–so maybe there is a big difference between mine and the i Sport. Mine is a blast to drive. I’ve received many comments from friends on the styling as well. I was looking for a better, bigger but not gigantic vehicle to haul around my kid and I had to trade in an Audi A3 to do it, begrudgingly, so I was pretty picky and did a lot of research. For it’s class, compared to the Ford Edge or the Honda CRV and others, the CX-7, imo, had more style, more punch and a much more reasonable price tag. I highly recommend this car.
