Just picked up my CX-9 GT. Man this car is awesome. I know it's new so I'll return after a while and update everyone. Paid well below TMV price! Trust TMV!

We bought our CX-9 back in 2015, near the beginning of the year. Back then, it had 60k on the odometer. It now has nearly 100k more since then. We bought this as a salvage title, as it had flood damage from before it even had 10 miles on it. We figured we'd take a chance since the previous owner had it so long after the flood. They replaced the alternator and the wheel bearings...that's all they claimed to fix...and checked the wiring. In the time we've owned this thing, we've used it to pull a 10' enclosed trailer, travel all over the country, and lots of around town use. It is a solid vehicle. We've owned it for almost a decade now, and we've only changed the transfer case for the AWD. This was a pricey fix at around $2,000, but that's been it for major repairs. We had a window motor go out, but I changed that myself for $70...rockauto.com is great for inexpensive...yet still name brand parts. A YouTube video helped me do the work, and it was easy. I hope I didn't scare anyone with the statements of repairs because it's really been minor. Almost everything I've done is oil changes, brakes, air and cabin filters, brake fluid purge (once), transmission fluid drain and fill, and light bulbs. Just regular maintenance you have to do on any vehicle...and we've used it hard, at times. It is NOT a high-tech vehicle inside...just basic stuff. Nonetheless, the bluetooth phone connection is clear and works like it should. The radio sounds...decent. It could be better, but it's never had so much as a hiccup, and it's certainly not bad. The car runs great and has excellent ride quality. I really can't complain, and I have no doubt we'll cross the 200k mark easily. This is our first Mazda, and it won't be our last.

We traded-in our 2007 CX-7 and are not looking back (lots of problems with it) This car handle as good as the CX-7 even being heavier/bigger so I was pleansantly surprised by that. The interior is of high quality as you can see on the stitched leather seats. It's nice having extra room and all these cool options (rear view camera,blind-spot monitor,power lift gate,Bose Audio,GPS...) Only 2500miles on it so far so I cant comment on the reliability. We got the Black GT FWD model with Navigation/Bose audio/Power lift gate/Moonroof/Towing prep packages. Real cost was ~$36500 after all taxes/fees (we ended up paying a little less with the trade-in)

My wife took her our cx9 on a road trip with our 2 girls. On the way home she heard a clunk trying to back up. Then at low speeds she heard a grinding noise, pulled over and had it towed to a dealership. They said it had mice nesting near the bell housing. Today I was suppose to go get it back and the mechanic called and said he tried to back it up and CLUNK. Cracked transfer case. It will be another 2 - 3 weeks before its fixed. It looks like many other owners have had this problem. Ours only had 17k miles on it. Mazda should recall their cx9.
