    Ford does not own Mazda and never has. They had a 33% interest at one point, but that ended over 3 years ago. The CX-9 is one of the highest rated 7-passenger vehicles on the road. Is rated higher than a Pilot by Consumer Reports and consistantly scores well, if not better than the latest 7-passenger vehicles from Ford, GM, Dodge and Honda. Bottom line is the CX-9 is an excellent ... Read More

    IMHO the Mazda is a better vehicle and has more/better features than the Honda. Long Term reliability always comes down the the individual vehicle but I think the Honda has the edge on reliability. I purchased a 2009 Mazda Trouring. My second choice was the Honda Pilot EX-L. I chose the better vehicle (handling, ride, braking, looks etc.)

Although the Mazda has only 40K, it's value will drop more than the Honda. MHO, go with the Honda (swiss watch) you won't be sorry. Regards
