Thanks to collapsing rear headrests, large side mirrors, relatively thin windshield pillars, and small triangular windows at the base of the A-pillars, it’s easy to see out of the Mazda CX-7. However, the protruding nose and stubby rear end can be tough to gauge. When parallel parking, I often found myself too close to the car in front of me and half a car length away from the car behind me.
