I think CR has to be taken with a grain of salt. ALL vehicles are so reliable now, the least reliable vehicle is still fairly reliable compared to what we considered in the past. I've read CR data can be from very small pools. Plus, I feel people with problems are more likely to feel the need to share their experiences.
The Mazda CX-7 is ranked very low in reliability due to engine issues. Well, that was true of the turbo model. The NA engine was the same one that was in the Mazda3, and was extremely reliable. CR lumped them into the same category.
