 The 2008 CX7 is a fun car to drive, but over the years has been less than fun to maintain.  Less than 3 months after purchasing it brand new, the exhaust tips began rusting.  That was the first bad sign.  Since then in just over 2 years, I've had a door replaced after rusting, trailer hitch has rusted, tires lasted a whole 18,000 miles, I need new brakes and rotors already, and the EGR valve has gone bad and needs replacement ($900 repair).  After all of this, last week I decided to trade in the vehicle rather than deal with 3 more years of problems on the loan.  I'm picking up my 2011 GMC Terrain tomorrow.
