Lots of bells and whistles for a 2008, but....

When it works, its a great car. Love the heated seats, the dual climate controls, the auto air conditioning, the automatic headlights, automatic windshield wipers. Seats are comfy. Seats 4 comfortably, but the third row is a bit of a squeeze. Still, a good car and I have been happy overall with the ownership experience. I have the AWD, and the downside is it goes through tires rather quickly, and you have to replace all four each time. I have been really good at rotating the tires every time I get an oil change, but still every 3 years or so I need to get a new set. Also, the wheel bearings are starting to go, and if you need to replace the spark plugs its really spendy (for me) as they are not easy to get to so the labor is up there. Overall I would recommend the car, but be ready to replace the tires more than you normally would.

The Bluetooth had completely quit working and it took my dealership three months to correct the issue. Since the repair it does not allow me to hear if it is running, or the line is busy. The vehicle is nice to drive. It hugs the road and takes corners like a sports car-it is awesome!

After driving 9 other 7 passenger SUV/CUVs to replace our jeep after the birth of our twins, the CX9 easily came out on top. It is remarkable how they make a vehicle of this size drive as small as it does. Mazda really thought this one through before putting it out there, unlike most others that put the third row in as an after-thought.
Just a few missing parts

I have had less than sixty days but I am really luv'n this car. I flew to Chicago from NC to get it and drove it the 13 hours back the next day and was really impressed. There are a few things I would change like having auto door locks and trip computer. Yes the gas mileage stinks but not much worse than others I have driven. Real world is always different than EPA anyway. I have test driven every thing available in the segment and this is the best thing going.I drove the Flex, Highlander, Pilot and the GM trips as well as Audi, BMW and some others.
CX-9 = Practical and Fun

I compared Highlander, Outlook/Acadia/Enclave, Veracruz, and the CX-9. They all were very well designed, spacious CUVs, but the CX-9 was the only vehicle that was exciting to look at and fun to drive. I have had my CX-9 for 3 weeks and driven about 700 miles. The CX-9 is a very spacious, practical vehicle, and it is about as close to driving a sport sedan as a CUV can get. The Grand Touring 20" wheels do ride slighly stiffer than the 18" wheels on the Touring, but I don't find it objectionable. The interior is quiet at cruise, but you can still hear the engine growl under acceleration. Handling seems nimble for such a large vehicle.
