The motor's turbo lag was also criticized, although we figured this out by reading notes that stated: "I think something's wrong with the engine because its power is very uneven." As a matter of fact, the turbo four's lumpy power delivery and triggerhappy transmission make the CX-7 feel like it can't make up its mind.
Other complaints concerned the navigation screen to be washed out in daylight, as well as fuel consumption that seemed rather high; we added up everyone's numbers and it results in an average of 13.1 L/100 km.
Conclusion
Curiously, nobody cringed about the GT AWD's $37,295 asking price (actually, $41,445 with Luxury Package and navigation); they probably find that the CX-7 is worth it, and some know that there's an Acura RDX out there that costs $4,000 more.
Overall, the positive comments outweighed the negative ones, and we're eager to see how the CX-7 will behave itself during the second half of our long-term test.
