My sentiments exactly. We drove every sport utility on the market the Toyota, the Kia sorento, I can't remember the other ones but there were so many it was just none of them felt like they were connected to the road are they felt like you were riding in a Coleman lantern. Then we test drove the Mazda CX-7 250 horsepower turbocharged touring edition. It was like driving a breath of fresh air it has the feel of a sports car but yet the softness of a Cadillac it was a whole different breed from the other vehicles. The car ended up lasting around 160,000 mi but that's because it ended up in my son's hand and they are really shifty about doing preventive maintenance. Which led to its premature demise. But that car didn't give us one iota of problems for the whole 160,000 miles. We didn't have to take it in for nothing but oil changes and I did half of those. But we did use mobile one synthetic oil it's whole life and kept the air filter nice and clean to keep the turbo getting fresh air.
