Got rid of the LS, got a good deal on a used CX-7. 32,000 miles, Turbocharged 2.3L.
Not trying to brag, so feel free to ask any questions. However, here's some pics lol

ITS BEEN GREAT LvC, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

Too bad you had to take such a decided step down!!

Posted by: 97stscaddy

Sorry to here about your hard luck dude.

Haha, jk! :P Good luck with the new ride.

Posted by: King03LS8

A CX-7?

Good luck man, that wouldn't be my first choice, actually, I don't think I'd drive a cross-over. Hope it works out for you!

Posted by: Jeffguy11

bet my 3,000 dollar mark viii would stomp that thing out

Posted by: camthman

hahaha... you guys are a bunch off ass****s

Posted by: beechcraft11

lol alright well kinda expected that response lol. Yeah JWerner the 3000gt guy sold it to another buyer because he wouldnt take it to my mechanic for whatever reason. And ive always liked the CX-7 for some reason, i think it looks great, it handles great, pretty fast for what it is too. And Jeffguy you can keep your mark viii those things are soo ugly in my opinion lol. But yeah, you probably could smoke me. cool. lol.

Posted by: JWerner2

I don't think I even seen one yet.

It looks like a mini mini-van.

Good luck with it and I hope you enjoy. At least it has a turbo.

so i gotta ask.... is it faster?

Posted by: Lucky_Ls

Nice car, I'm partial to black myself!
I'm sure the gas mileage is better then the LS, right?

Nice choice, there is a reason Motor Trend and others gave it awards, nice vehicle in that segment. Good luck w/ it.

Posted by: HyeLifeLS

cool.

Posted by: beechcraft11

Thanks guys, and yeah, it is faster (i had a V6), and gets better gas mileage then the LS. 0 to 60's about 8 seconds and is getting about 18mpg.

is that the miller cycle 2.3L i had one of those in my millinea... a bitch to work on but a cool engine... my 2001 had 210hp 210trq out of that tiny 2.3

Posted by: Beamer

244Hp, do not know if the miller cycle though, believe it is not but could be wrong

Posted by: Quik LS

it looks good.

now fill the backseat with baby seats, and always drive talking on your cell phone and drinking a starbucks.

I'd rather drive my 1988 Ford Taurus LX station wagon.

Posted by: MonsterMark

That's a nice car you got your wife. What is she going to let you get now?

LOL. Just busting balls.

Nice ride. Enjoy. And thanks for participating on LvC. You're always welcome to stop by and visit.

Posted by: rainjacks

I sold my minivan to get an LS. If I knew you were in the market we could have just swapped rides.

Kidding of course. If you like it that is good enough for me.

Posted by: beechcraft11

Ive got some black 18's I got cheap to replace the stock wheels, Tinting the windows 15%, and blacking out the taillights, reflectors, headlights. As for the mini-van crap, make fun of the CX-9. Thats a mom ride haha

Posted by: TwansLS

...zoom zoom...lollololol

5 bucks says he'll be back.

Once you go luxury, everything else just doesn't seem good quality.

Posted by: JWerner2

Yeah,..... those tails definitely need some work.

Alteza style = yuk!

For some reason every time I go to look at the pis I keep thinking I'm going to see a bike rack.

I'd rock the CX-9. I like it better than the CX-7. But to each his own. The CX-7 looks too slim for my taste. The front end get too much styling from the RX-8.

Either way, nice score. Hope it treats ya good.
