<![CDATA[Auto xed some imports yesterday]]>Was at a Mazda Ride n Drive in the cities yesterday...we got to race the new Mazda CX-7, Toyota Rav4 and the Nissan Murano

Rav4 is quick off the line but has the worst cornering ability and smoked many cones with it

Nissan Murano has a nice ride and is a little doggy off the line but came in 2nd place

The new Mazda CX-7 was fast off the line if you spooled up the turbo and kicked ass threw the cones...I was suprised how a cross over SUV could handle when thrown into the corners

If you drive it hard off the line all the time, it will launch nicely, if you baby it/drive like a normal person it is doggy off the line....at least that is my experience. But yes, you are right, it is amazing how well some SUV's will take a corner...I was shocked when I bought my Murano having traded up from a RAV4
