What Our Members Are Saying about Mazda CX-7 Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Mazda CX-7: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 161-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Compared to the tribute/escape, the materials are much higher quality and a more upscale interior. Compared to the 2010 Mazda 3 the seats are more comfortable. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 244hp 2.3L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Nicer inter materials than the vehicles cost suggest |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 244hp 2.3L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Very good and all the body panels and lines match up. |
What Our Members Are Saying about Ford Taurus Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Ford Taurus: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 155-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Parts fit together well, and interior surfaces are of high quality. Nothing feels cheap or flimsy. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Ford Taurus: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
The interior is below average in quality. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Everything felt cheap, and the vinyls felt slimey. Poor fit and finish overall. |
| 2000 | 4dr Sedan 155-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Some parts, like the glove compartment, feel flimsy. Cupholders and center armrest do too. Seats feel comfortable though, and the fabric is tough. But door panels for example look kinda cheap. |
