How can a vehicle be "trouble-free" and less reliable than another vehicle at the same time?

I think his point is that CX-7 in general is (was?) being considered "less reliable than Mazda sedans and hatchbacks" by other publications (consumer reports, online reviews, etc) but his particular car was trouble free.

Space,

Exactly. The CX-7 isn't considered one of the more reliable vehicles made by Mazda. Mine has be trouble-free despite that reputation.

The CX-7 was replaced by the CX-5.

I would generally agree Hyundai's have great quality - except for the 470,000 2011 and 2012 Sonata's that were recalled for engine failure - to replace the engine. According to Consumer Reports

These same engines, built at the same manufacturing plant, were also used in Hyundai Santa Fe SUVs, Kia Optima sedans, and Kia Sorento SUVs assembled in West Point, Georgia. According to Kia spokesperson Jame Hope, Kia is not impacted by this recall.

We have a 2011 Sonata and brought it in to be tested. It was not affected, but if it had been, they would have replaced the entire engine for chips of metal that hadn't been cleaned out properly during the manufacturing process.

jdc,

I wouldn't dismiss Mazda based on your experience. Mazdas are generally very good, reliable vehicles. The Mazda 3 (and its predecessors) have been auto mag favorites a and recommendations for years. Same goes for the 6 series. That's not even taking into consideration my '09 CX-7 which has been trouble-free despite being considered less reliable than Mazda sedans and hatchbacks.

Im not alone with this issue.

and automags always drive brand new ones.
