Very Nice Vehicle

2011 Mazda CX-9 Touring 4dr SUV (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
I've had my 2011 CX-9 for about a month, have taken two long road trips in it, and use it to commute in Atlanta traffic about 40 miles round trip.
I traded in my 2001 Toyota Highlander for the Mazda, and so far, I'm very happy with the CX-9.
The driving experience is great for this size vehicle.
The third-row seating is very accessible, and is roomy enough for my 9-year old (my 15 … year-old complains it's too tight, but then again, he complains about everything!).
I am disappointed in the gas mileage, even when travelling on the interstate at reasonable speeds.
I suppose that is the price one pays for this kind of performance.
I really like the Bose sound system.
Finally Settled on the CX-9 Touring After Months of Test Drives

2011 Mazda CX-9 Touring 4dr SUV (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
I switched from a 2008 Camry, a car I only liked for the gas mileage, to the CX-9 Touring.
We looked at the GMC Acadia, the Pilot, the Highlander, Volvo XC-90, the Flex and the Explorer.
XC-90 - Uncomfortable, cost too much
Flex - Comfortable but strange looking
Acadia - Didn't seem to have the quality I was looking for
Highlander - Built on a Camry chassis and this was what I was … trying to get away from
Pilot - Seemed clunky and I did not like the dealer.
The CX-9 is comfortable, spacious and it drives great.
It has a very easy to manage center console, radio, etc.
What I don't like is the mileage and how it's tough to be more a la carte while building your car online.
Best 3-row CUV on the market

2011 Mazda CX-9 Touring 4dr SUV (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
After researching the GM cousins, the new Ford Explorer, the new Toyota 4-Runner, and Honda Pilot, we gladly purchased the CX-9. Nothing compares to the Mazda's driving dynamics or what you get for the money. I highly recommend this crossover as the mid-level Touring package comes standard with power everything, leather, and a fold-flat third row.
Fuel econ is decent considering the … size and power. We upgraded from a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. There is really no comparison to be made. The CX-9 is smooth and does not feel enormous, but is more than roomy enough. The dealership did a very good deal for us as well.
Thumbs up, Mazda.
Good Value

Very comfortable and spacious. Fits 5 adults and a car seat/child very well. Great cargo space when back seats are folded down. Gas consumption could be better. A little wind noisy.
