Hi! How do you like the 2.5 engine?
New Envision owner in Georgia
Hi Everyone,
I'm a new owner of a 2017 Envision Preferred. Bronze Alloy, neutral interior. I love this car so far. There are so many features to enjoy and I've set up most of them. I can't do the projection from my Android phone, because Android Auto only works with Android 5.0 and higher. and my phone is on 4.4.2. :frown2: I will get a new phone at some point this year and then I'll be set!!
Overall, I am very satisfied. The dealer gave a fair price ($5000 off of the $36995 MSRP) and after some negotiation, gave an acceptable offer on my trade-in, a 2012 Mazda CX-7. The Envision is so much nicer than the Mazda. Even though I only have the Preferred, it has so many standard features and I actually prefer the cloth/leatherette combination (which I haven't seen on any other vehicle) to the leather. The only downside is that the engine is not that powerful. I knew this going in and don't really care. This is my daily driver and I have a supercharged Mustang for weekends, so it's all good!
I look forward to communicating with you guys and I'll post some picks of my car once the rain moves out of here.
Cheers,
Jay

Well the reason I ask is because I thought the CX-7 that you had have turbocharger so what would be like to be downgrade from it.Hi vic1212,
The 2.5 liter engine is acceptable for the vehicle. I think the 6-speed transmission is a big help. I don't have strong performance aspirations for this vehicle (that's what my Mustang is for), but for a daily commuter, it accelerates fine on the freeway and it is smooth and quiet. What more can I ask?
ah really? I somehow just thought the CX7 have Turbo all across....Actually, I had the non-turbo base engine in the CX-7, which has 161hp. So, this is a step up!
Remember a friend of mine did have a 2013 Mustang with a california special package... it was a lovely car
