2007 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

After 2 years and 47K miles it is good SUV for family of 4. Hard to use the rear seats if you use car seats on both sides.

Favorite Features

Engine power, road performance, brakes, acceleration, sound system Bose.

Suggested Improvements

Noise in the front suspension, poor audio quality when use bluetooth, air leak on windowns at high speed, brakes vibration when used at high speed, click noise in transmission (see reviews about all these complaints). Better tires and traction control when snowing or road wet, easy to loose control

Review

Love this Car!! My wife and I bought a used 2007 GT this June as our future child-mobile. We have driven it all over the country in absolute comfort. As chance would have it we were in Tennessee at the Tail of the Dragon, and this CX-9 performed amazingly well. It took all of the turns beautifully. What a great car!! It fits seven adults or five and A LOT of gear. Great camping car. We looked at this and the Subaru Tribeca. In the end it wasn't even close. Highly recommended.

Favorite Features

Handling, acceleration (for an SUV), reliability, comfort, Bose stereo, Bluetooth phone. Price, an excellent value for the money. Just about everything really.

Suggested Improvements

I think that some of the materials inside the cabin could have been a little better quality. Some of the door hardware is starting to squeak. Overall most issues are minor complaints considering other SUV's in its price range.

I love the style and handling of the vehicle. We have not owned it long enuf to comment about reliability. my only complaint is the seats are too firm for my liking and the blinds spots are substantial.

Favorite Features

sleek look. nice colors and trim. i like the big rear doors even though they have been criticized.

Suggested Improvements

climate control is too controlling! make it simple for us dummies. rear fan comes on all the time and can't shut it off. softer seats.

Review

Purchased this when it first came out, and was a bit hesitant as it was a new model for Mazda. It's now 3 years later and we have had NOT one problem mechanically or otherwise. This vehicle has truly been a dream to own, as vehicle headaches are exactly that...HEADACHES!! Every option from bluetooth to navigation to our awesome bose audio system works perfectly! Ride and response are excellent and I believe we will be purchasing another next summer, when our lease is up. If buying this used, I would recommend! turns head's even 3 years after release! People still ask us what we are driving!

Favorite Features

Bluetooth, Navigation, two-toned heated leather seating, 3 zone climate control, overall looks! Bose audio

Suggested Improvements

Fuel economy of course, but that's on every vehicle! it weighs 4200lbs.! it's gonna use gas.

Still fun to drive

Review

After 2 years, I still feel excited with the possibility of driving it on open roads. Try it on 8 hour-long journeys like we do and you will love it. The face of some "muscle" car drivers when we just wave them "good- bye" is a poem! Bose sound is for pros.

Favorite Features

Acceleration, even fully loaded with our 4-bike 2" hitch rack; passenger and cargo space. Exterior design is still look-drawing now that Mazda released their new 6 (that resembles both CX-7 & 9)

Suggested Improvements

Possible built issue: there is a squeaky noise under driver's seat. Sterling wheel sound controls could include a shifting CD feature

Review

Still has plenty of Zoom Zoom in it. Have had this as my primary vehical for two yrs and have not regretted one minute of it. Long trips (800+ miles one way) are a breeze. Hooked up a PS2 and the kids are happy. Head phones make Us happy, and the ride make everyone happy.

Favorite Features

Very comfortable for the Driver.

Suggested Improvements

Better lumbar support for the passenger. My wife is 5' tall and the support is a little high for her. Over time she has adjusted greatly.

CX-9 2007 San Antonio

Review

Our CX-9 Grand Touring, is fun to drive. We love the headlights (wide range lighting) because it allows us to see everything and the interior lighting (especially the blue interior light in the dashboard)is a plus. We enjoy the navigation, satellite radio, touch screen, blue tooth, heated leather seats and comfort. We drove it to Yellowstone National Park, through the Rockies in Colorado and it was a smooth comfortable ride. We can fold down the seats for storage space in seconds to carry supplies and my daughter’s belongings to her dorm in Austin. I drive it to work and use my rear view camera to park. It rides on rails. We love the safety features and so does our insurance company

Favorite Features

It is a fun quiet ride which allows me to hear only my music (satellite radio/CDs). I can adjust the headlights/rear view mirrors to suit me. The rear view camera is a must for parking. The DVD player can be used for CDs with wireless headphones so that I don't have to listen to my teenager's music.

Suggested Improvements

Hands free phone, the caller can sometimes hear the A/C or Heater vent sound. Perhaps you can move the speaker phone. The plastic small covers in the interior of the hatch back door have fallen off several times when I close the hatch back door. The headrest should adjust to support the neck.

After 18 months, still a good car.

Review

Have had mine for 18 months now, 17,000 miles. Still love the ride, handling and versatility. Getting about 22 mpg on regular fuel with about a 60%/40% city/hwy mix. Love the extra row of seats... actually fit 7 adults without a problem this summer. The nav system is OK but some of the newer portable systems are better. I have towed my boat (towing pkg) a few times without any problems. Great in winter weather as far as driving, but this winter I have started to get a belt squeaking during cold mornings (below 35F). Overall still very impressed with this large SUV that drives like a much smaller vehicle.

Favorite Features

Heated seats, sporty feel of interior and handling.

Suggested Improvements

Rear doors are too large. Allow destination input in nav system while driving (sometimes there are passengers that can do this for you). Allow 2nd row to slide further back to allow more leg room when 3rd row not in use.

Review

I have had my Mazda CX-9 for a year now. My husband and I both love this car. I have owned many cars and this 1 is the best by far. We have 5 teenagers at home and have taken them on road-trips in this car. The interior room is fantastic. After years of mini-vans, I am thrilled to have a sporty car that is fun to drive. I have had no problems with this car at all.

Suggested Improvements

NONE
