= ** Mazda CX-7 ** =



I choose the Mazda CX-7 because it is an affordable, stylish SUV. It is rated #4 in affordable compact SUV's and gets 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. It also has all wheel drive and a 4 cylinder engine.

 Over 5 years this car costs 0.01% more to own than similar vehicles. ||
