Take it to the 12hr, give it a run! Haha

Girlfriend calls my car Wendy too, I don't really believe on naming cars... Don't want to get attached.

I'm happy to take it, but I doubt you would drive!

Your right Vil, new car smell is :)

Nice mate - any running changes from the last one you had?

My boss gets the same model Mazda 6 every three years and it's interesting how the equipment levels go up the older the model is.

Na mick, very similar, changes that come to mind...new rims, head rests in the middle and back rows slightly larger, I think the seat memory posse now also remembers mirror position ..

Managed to get extended warranty (4 years) and 3 year roadside assist as part of the package,

I think the change to the cx5 front look will bring a major change inside as well, not sold on the new look yet, might grow on me...

Certainly drives well, you forget how quiet they are when they are new...

That looks enormous. Don't think we get them over here - is it the same size as an Audi Q7?

There's too many huge cars like that on the road near my work. Mostly BMW X5's, Porsche Cayanes, XC90's etc.

I always had a thing for the CX-7 , great looking 4wdish wagon apart from being a 2.5 4Cyl just like in my Mazda 3 if they came with a v6 i would have one straight away. Bit bigger than our Dualis with more go would be great.

You can get the cx-7 with the turbo 2.3 out of the 3 mps. Goes surprisingly hard but drinks like a fish.
