CX-9 hits the spot

I've had it for 3 years......almost perfect....I wish you could get the grand touring without the 20" wheels....the ride is a little harsher, but the bigger problem is the constant TPMS light turning on every time you hit a decent bump. Just too finicky and pretty pointless given the vehicle.....I had a sport for a loaner and the 18" wheels ride much better and can't really tell with the handling

Vastly underrated

It is fun to drive, and has plenty of power...especially for such a large vehicle. The size gives you alot of room, and lots of storage space. The Sport package is a little sparse with options, but makes up for it with it's roominess, driving enjoyment, and comfort at a good price. It is a good, reliable car.

This was the best car we ever owned up to now. We traded it in on a newer CX-9 that had 70,000 fewer miles and a warranty. We love our 2014 just as much if not more. Never had any problems with the 2012.

brake boosters at 40-45k miles have been tagged to be replaced. this is not a call back but have them commit to do before you sign the dotted line. we love our cx9, cvt is great, change thetrans fluids every 40k miles, i used firestone for my drain & fill trans service they used pennzoil cvt-2 fluid. 7.6 quarts., after40k+miles, we are still glowing about our cx9. at the 70k mark, I replaced both front & rear brake pads,(normal maintenance) gas mileage on this 3.7 litre 6 cyclinder has been really good,too. great purchase.
