I have a CX-7 and personally hate the steering wheel. I think the Mazdaspeed 3 steering wheels look much nicer.

I thought the CX-7 was uncomfortable and bulky. Personally, I like the FD Efini wheel best

Yah, you guys and your fancy steering wheel fantasies..
The buttons would be so out of place....

I recently saw a Nardi wheel and shifter in an FB, and I was super impressed. Im not usually a fan of the oldschool wooden steering wheels, but that one sure set the car off!

Still like my "Mo' Mo'" though.

1st gens are basic, bare bones sports cars. No need for all that fancy technomological crap. Plus the wheels in the newer Mazdas are bulky (or any new car for that matter), and it just doesn't suit the car.

Airbag go BOOM!

Regardless of the unlikely event of that happening,Ill stick with the Infini or the 88-UP 2nd gen steering wheels.They look good and are cheap....I have the 3 spoke FC wheel on my Samurai and my boat.

+1 for the miata wheel. I like the look of it in that pic and wouldn't mind seeing it in the 7... but really, of all these wheels I like my stock S3 steering wheel the best.
