This is a car with the best of both world from the SUV and the Mini van. All compacted on a sporty car. The suspension is rigid enough to give extraordinary maneuverability without sacrificing comfort. The traction control make it very dependable, even taking off on a wet pavement on a tight turn (I tested that many times in Florida rains) The car has an incredible throttle that pair with many smaller fast cars. I am in my late 30's but every once in a while I enjoy a quick star form a stop point. I carried today my girl's bike, my boy's trike and stroller and a couple of dinning chairs an I still had room in the back.

Overall the Best Vehicle I Have Owned

My 2008 CX9 has proved to be the best car purchase I have made. The only maintenance I have done is regular oil changes, replaced the battery (after 6+ years) and an air bag recall. I still have the original tires with 38,000 miles on the car. I garage the car and the paint looks new after a wash. Plenty of acceleration with the V-6 (which unfortunately is no longer offered). I have large custom rims (installed by dealer) with large tires so the road noise level is a bit high. GPS system is acceptable. Bose sound system is great. Third row seat is tight for an adult, but rarely used. Storage space with seats down is plentiful and almost truck-like. Front and second row seating is very comfortable on long drives.

Has some blind spots. But I'm short. Lots of room. Lots of power. Get cameras and leather seats. Dog hair sticks. Only major complaint is the water from a/c started leaking on passengers side about 1 year ago . Had it fixed, but lasted a month; then clogged again. Very little maintenance.

For 7 passenger seating this is a great car. We've had it 10 yeas, going on 120,000 with minimal maintenance cost. Interior and exterior are great. Fuel economy is good, but great considering the size and capacity (about 18 mpg around town...23 on road). Much easier to park than a Suburban, but still true 7 seat capacity. i'm 6'1" and can sit in 3rd row (just not for a long road trip).
