    No I haven't got one. Are you asking about any particular configuration?
    I notices it comes in 2.3 turbo, 2.5 or 2.2 diesel, front wheel or AWD.
    I assume it's the 2.3 turbo but one model returns 18L/100kms as a real figure as opposed to a dual cycle L/100kms.

    Seems like a good vehicle. Are you buying one?

    Power comes from the same 2.3 L straight-4 MZR engine used in the Mazdaspeed3 and Mazdaspeed6 coupled with a 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission, and tuned to produce 244 hp or 182 kW (Australian model 175 kW) at 5000 RPM and 258 ft·lbf (350 N·m) of torque at a low 2500 rpm, 99% of the maximum torque is available to 5000 rpm.

    The MZR 2.3L DISI turbo engine found in the Mazdaspeed3 and Mazdaspeed6 has been retuned in the North American-Spec CX-7 to deliver torque at a lower RPM for less turbo lag off the line, at the cost of power. This was achieved thanks to a redesigned, smaller KO4 turbocharger. UK-Spec CX-7's feature the same, larger KO4 turbocharger and transmission found in the Mazdaspeed line.

    Model range, prices and features

    The CX-7 features fully independent suspension, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with standard anti-lock brakes, stability control and traction control, and a choice of either front-wheel drive or Mazda's Active Torque-Split all-wheel-drive system. With the Active Torque-Split system, two computer-controlled magnetic clutches feed up to 50% of the engine's torque to the rear wheels. The Australian combined cycle official fuel economy is 11.5 L/100 km (24.6 mpg-imp; 20.5 mpg-US), similar to the Holden Captiva.[2][3] But real-world fuel economy is nearer to 18.0 L/100 km (15.7 mpg-imp; 13.1 mpg-US), as much or more than the Ford Territory.
