    Before picking up our in-laws Accord we threw around the idea of trading the Liberty in for a CX7. Although I've hit 22mpg on a long highway trip, its normally around 18mpg for our daily commute.... so the extra ~10mpg had us thinking about it. And our neighbor has one, its a neat vehicle and seems like a good bang for the buck. We tried looking at slightly used ones that would be almost an even trade for the KK.

    Wow dude that is awesome. WKII are just a bit too pricey for us right now though.

    She drove a 2011 Equinox last night, and loved it. We are going to drive a CX-7 tonight and see how it goes.

    Working on cars for a living id say the cars we work on the least at our shop are Hyundai, that being said the newer Fords are hard to beat, I will say this the newer GM vehicles with the 3.6 V6 are giving some trouble(i believe mechanical problems, dont remember), but every vehicle will have its own set of problems none are perfect. Good luck!

    So we drove a CX-7 last night, and she loved it as well.

    Ok so we have a choice between 2 cars right now we love. We are hung up on warrranty information more than anything. As far a price is concerned, we have talked the cx-7 down to around 17k. Havent really pressed the Equinox dealer quite yet.

    http://showroom.auction123.com/auto_...0B1176085.html - Equinox
    3yr 36k Bumper to bumper
    5yr 100k Powertrain (carried over from dealer)

    http://stevensonmazda.com/Wilmington...e-SUV/6622813/ - cx-7
    3yr 36k Bumper to bumper
    Lifetime powertrain (must keep up with maint. schedule)


    Opinions? Thoughts? lifetime warranties?, I know Jeep offered this as well for a short time.

    Seems like a win-win. I'd look at pricing... how much will the equinox be? If that's around 25k, I'd go with the cx7.

    Edit: nevermind.... the link worked after a 3rd attempt on my phone. Price is comparable. ... maybe look at which vehicle holds value better, all things being equal.

    We made our purchase on Saturday
    2011 cx-7 I sport w/ 8k on it
    Leather, heated seats and sunroof
    Lifetime power train warranty

    Honestly its not a bad little ride. Moves well for a 4cyl and decent on gas. I would recommend it.




    Now to pay mine off in 5 months or less!
