2012 Mazda CX-9 Sport 4dr SUV AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
We bought this car new in 2012.
I waited this long to review to make sure I just wasn't being reactive.
This car has it all.
As a 'soccer' mom, I'm constantly picking up and dropping of kids, swapping car seats, and running errand.
The sliding 2nd row makes it easy getting car seats in and out, and fitting even adults in the 3rd row. The power liftgate is handy.
There's plenty of room … for fitting our 60lb dog and all our bags back there (though I would recommend buying a liner).
This week was the first time really testing it on snow and it did great.
Not only is it quick, agile, and fun to drive...It's just plain makes life easy.
I recommend this car to everyone!
CX-9 AWD rocks the rockies

2012 Mazda CX-9 Sport 4dr SUV AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
Been driving this car for 2 months now. Has done many things well; like carry 6 adults, grocery shopping, drive on snow/ice, skiing, highway, city, big mountains. First Mazda we have owned and it is so nice to drive and handles well in the mtns, where we live. Great as family wagon AWD, commuter, weekender, SUV replacement, power driver seat, steering wheel adjustments, good view out the … windows, big outside mirrors (heated as well), power outlets, storage in far rear compartment, kids really like the car overall, build quality seems very solid.
Left my family stranded on the highway

2012 Mazda CX-9 Sport 4dr SUV AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
So far our experience has been awful.
First, we live 5 hours from the closest Mazda Dealership.
So I drove down early in the morning and bought the 2012 with 26 miles on the car total.
On the way home, I start smelling gasoline.
I figured it must be a new car smell, I've never owned a new car.
Then the next day after purchasing the vehicle, the transfer case explodes on the highway.
The … car is filled with my family and we were out of cell phone range.
Thankfully, some people stopped to help and a couple hours later our brand new car was towed to Pueblo, Colorado (5 hours away) to be repaired.
I just want a safe car for my family.
