Great Car if You Were Not Scared Off By The Price
We have owned this car for nearly six years and have 85000 miles on it. Even though it is a heavy vehicle and my wife does not drive with a "light" foot, the brakes are still the originals and the maintenance department at Mazda tells me that they still have about 40% life left on them. The original tires were replaced at 60,000 miles. No maintenance other than the scheduled maintenance has been conducted on this vehicle. It drives like a sports car. It is bullet-proof. It has a generous third row with easy access. It is truly a hidden gem that people overlook. I do not know how long it will last, but when it finally does end its life, I will truly miss this car.

2 Transmissions in less than 2 years??
Our transmission was replaced by a factory recall and less than 16 months later, the entire transmission seized up. We contacted Mazda and were informed the new transmission was only covered by a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. We ended up having to pay $2,800 for a new transmission that should have been covered by Mazda. Mazda did not care....they did not care we were repeat Mazda customers, they did not care we followed their initial factory warranty recall program and they definitely didn't care we had to pay $2,800 out-of-pocket for a defective transmission one of their dealer's installed in our vehicle. AVOID PURCHASING THIS CAR UNLESS YOU LIKE TO WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED DOLLARS!!!

like my CX-9
Handles great ....firm and sure..... Yet not overly stiff. I think Mazda got it right with the CX-9 performance. Test drive of the CX-9 is a must when investigating your options. This is exactly what I was looking for, an AWD crossover that drives well. Took it to the mountains on ski trip . Handles the snow very well including some side roads that were pretty steep. The 3rd row seat comes in handy and has decent amount of room. I am happy with this purchase.
Design Flaws
A few areas have made us not pleased with our choice. Gas mileage is much less than advertised. The car is too heavy - sluggish when passing on highway or going up hill, poor gas mileage. There is a design flaw with the doors. They are big, unnecessarily heavy, and balanced wrong. When parked level, they will naturally fall hard to a full open position. As the doors are so big, they will catch any wind and open hard. The check strap on the door is under-engineered for such a heavy door. Within 45 days, the check strap broke, the door slammed back into car body. $1500 damage and Mazda will not even return phone calls or acknowledge issue. Not happy with the CX9 or Mazda, give both a pass.
That all she wrote
