2007-2012 Mazda CX-7 offers fun and sporty ride - MetroNews Canada

Call the seller before you head over for a test-drive and ensure they don’t start or drive the vehicle before you show up. You’ll want to start the engine from dead cold, let it idle up to operating temperature for a few minutes, and then move to... The tell-tale sound is a diesel-like clattering that sounds like a fast-moving chain smacking around inside of a metal housing. As with any unusual sound on any used car you’re considering, if you’re not comfortable with a noise coming from under the hood, visit a mechanic and have him or her take a closer look, or move to another unit. For maximum peace of mind, a non-turbo, front-drive Mazda CX-7 will be the best bet — not to mention less expensive to run, repair, and insure. Source: www.metronews.ca
