When the Infiniti came off-lease, I needed to pick something up. I was in frugal mode, and needed something fairly quickly. The CX-7 had good reviews, was similar to what I was driving in size (not luxury), and was affordable, so I found a low-milage used one, and bought it cash. It was basically the poor man's Infiniti. Not the nicest or worst thing around, and it got me from A->B without too much trouble. I went with silver, again. And Melissa was like "Silver or Blue" you are predictable.

The car was a mix.

  • +I only had battery problems with it in the 9 years (other than the maintenance).
  • +It handled surprisingly well for an SUV.
  • -the engine made a weird ticking noise they never found the source of
  • -It got lousy milage (14-16MPG), but I was usually only driving it a couple miles at a time. It got in the low 20's on longer trips, when we took them.
  • -It had some bad blind spots, due to the slope of the windshield and the C pillar, which earned it some pole swipe scrapes on the sides. (Adobe Garage).
  • -There was also a few new noises that the repair guys couldn't find, like grinding in the steering, on sharp turns on cold mornings.

So I didn't quite trust the reliability of it, even though it only failed me once by getting a flat, and making me change a tire.
