Tech outdated, to much hard plastic on dash

We looked at these because of the closeout price, but they are just dated. Hard plastic, dated touchscreen, passenger seat too high, poor gas mileage - just too many knocks against it. Hopefully, the 2016 (2017) redesign will get Mazda caught up with the Edge and. Pilot

6 years, 85,000 miles

For its model year, this is a great vehicle. It lacks the soft-touch dash and door materials found in more recent models, but stands up very well to everyday use. Reliability has been great on this - only routine/standard wear maintenance other than an AC drain that has backed up a couple of times. It still drives more nimbly and tracks better than most recent SUVs. MPG is still 20-23 highway, which is OK for this class. It would probably ride a bit better with 18" wheels instead of 20" but is fine except on pretty rough pavement.

Had a Rav4 before this, and I thought I'd never be able to forget my Toy-ota.....boy was I wrong! Comfortable, great handling and power on longer trips cross state, haven't had a mech issue after 6 months. Have 2 kids and the car seats fit great, roomy, nice sound quality on the speakers. If you don't mind the gas price to fill this baby up, then it's a no brainer!

Bought something else

Test drove and investigated the 2015 CX-9 and decided to buy a 2013 Acura MDX for slightly less money. Acura's SH-AWD system and better road manners were the clinchers. The Mazda handled pretty well, and its features were nice, but the Acura had more technology and user friendly technology. Also the V6 in the Mazda is made by Ford (so I understand) and doesn't have the grunt of the Acura or the highway acceleration (50-70 mph). The Acura also seems to have more interior room and cargo space. Since we weren't really giving up anything in terms of features or performance we decided to buy the 2013 Acura (with less than 30K miles) with a year remaining on the factory bumper to bumper and two years on the power train warranties and save several thousand dollars.

A good solid SUV that has the size engine I need for towing my boat. However, it is much bigger than my RAV4 and took some getting used to. I got a good deal from Wilson Mazda in Ventura and a payment well within my limited budget.
