2010 Mazda CX-7 i SV
What it Is: A five-passenger, two-row crossover.
Who it's For: Families who want crossover cargo space and need no more than two LATCH points.
What's Hot: Aggressive styling, sporty demeanor.
What's Not: A little tight on cargo space compared to some other midsize crossovers.
How It Got Its Score: The Mazda CX-7 offers decent fuel economy and a low price, but it's a little small inside, which hurts its score.
The Mazda CX-7 has been on sale for a number of years now, and received a styling update last year. While the CX-7 is classified as a midsize crossover, it just barely scrapes into the category, meaning that many of its competitors offer more cargo and passenger space. However, the CX-7 has aggressive styling and Mazda's sporty demeanor, which helps it appeal to enthusiast drivers. In other words, if you're willing to sacrifice some utility for better handling, then the Mazda CX-7 is probably already on your list.
