If you are looking for a 3rd row vehicle in this mileage range, the CX-9 is the best bang for your buck. Other brands either have reliability issues or cost significantly more. Really enjoy this ride and the added room for kids and cargo. Very comfortable to drive with the excellent visibility. Also like the 2nd row heating and cooling control options. Gas mileage for this front FWD touring model is right around 20 and goes up/down slightly depending on the mix of city and highway driving. Would recommend the CX-9 to those looking for this type of vehicle. ** Update** Have owned this CX-9 for sox months now and love it. Added a trailer hitch to tow a 16 foot boat. We used it this summer travel 10 hours to a resort pulling the boat and loaded with gear. No issues. Get one! **Update** It is now several years later and still love the vehicle so much we purchased a newer one.

Just sold 2012 CX9 after three years (35,000 miles). Decent SUV for price. Pros: Appearance, good performance/handling, interior space. The CX9 looks sporty and handles/accelerates well for a large vehicle. Large interior space with decent room in the third row. Cons: Gas mileage, ride comfort, cabin noise, The CX9 does not get anywhere near the advertised gas mileage. 18.5 combined driving and 21.5 on strictly highway trips. Not a very comfortable ride if you are in the car for longer than 1 hour. Suspension felt stiffer than other large SUVs and could feel all bumps on road. Car had small annoying rattles on both interior/exterior.

Overall, I love the car- style, handling, features, value. The gas mileage is the same as my last suv, so no surprises there. The interior is beautiful, but dust and dirt do show on the dark leather and mats. A bit surprised by the amount of plastic used on the front exterior and hope it lasts. I like that there are few chrome accents inside limiting glare - something seen in many other cars. There is however, no way to escape the amount of direct sunlight coming in when driving due west. This may have to do with windshield design and shape of the vehicle- a small price to pay for great visability. My family just came from our 1st road trip through the mountains and the car performed great!
