Built like a tank

Before purchasing I tried a few other SUV's, none matched the handling characteristics of the Mazda. The vehicle feels planted on the highway during the worst weather conditions. At first the firm ride was a concern but it isn't meant to be a Town car. A firm ride is the trade off enabling the vehicle to perform more like a passenger car. No doubt you're aware of its size when behind the wheel but it drives like a smaller vehicle.

Th CX 9 Has No Idea its a Utility Vehicle!

This is my second one (first was a '10). The fun factor is off the scale. Maintenance schedule presumes we all live in a dusty choking climate with a 4 month oil change - according to my dealer. Otherwise it has been fine, and needed nothing in the first couple of years. It is a pleasure to report that neither of my CX 9's required a trip back to the dealer to correct things from the factory. I knocked it a star for tire/road noise (common complaint on line) which is significant. The brakes are much better than the '10 - however, my wife's car is from Germany (!) and its all about braking. So in comparison it gets a ding. Overall, I must say that were I replacing this vehicle tomorrow, I would absolutely head for the row of CX 9's to pick my color! This is pretty amazing. I'm ask to update my Rating at a time that is perfect for me. Unfortunately my 2015 got "t-boned" and while the repairs were perfect, I had gotten interested in the turbo, and some of the goodies Mazda had added. My dealer made me a great offer, and I wound up in a 2018 Signature model. All I can say about that is WOW! I have about 4000 miles on it, and it's a great vehicle. Hard to believe I've had three or these, and they still perform, and excite just like the first one! Mazda has really worked hard to get this model into the premium class of family vehicles. I will admit that the turbo four, in normal setting, lags behind the 6 cylinder of the 2015. However, I am quick to point out that flipping the "sport" switch, changes everything! I promise this, you cannot drive this vehicle, and not like it!!

Excellent vehicle

I purchased this vehicle used (Touring trim, 2WD) in 2017 when it had 24,000 miles on it. The price I paid was excellent compared to similarly equipped competitors (Honda, Toyota). I'll get the standard criticisms out of the way first... This vehicle has a small touchscreen and hard plastics in the dash. My previous vehicle had hard plastics and no touchscreen (or even Bluetooth) so for me there was no issue. Once you get past these issues you have an excellent vehicle. I love that it drives sporty, gets about 20 mpg combined gas mileage in the time I've owned it, I carry 7-8 people (4-5 who are kids) without trouble around town, and most importantly it has been incredibly reliable. In fact, 50,000 miles of driving and not a single repair, ever. Only standard maintenance and this vehicle runs like a charm. I place a premium on vehicles that last without troubles. I also love the blind spot monitor and backup monitor. If function, reliability, good pricing, and sportiness are your priorities, this car will be great. If you want aesthetics like soft touches and great electronics, not so much. I chose the former but I can understand everyone has different interests with their vehicle choices. Overall, I highly recommend this vehicle. Best wishes on your vehicle selection.

Engine design flaw

I have owned my 2015 CX-9 for 5 yrs and loved it. I just paid it off six months ago and planned to keep it. However, unbeknownst to me, they designed the engine with the water pump inside the engine. If/when the water pump goes out it will leak coolant into your engine. No warning. I now have to buy a new engine since the water pump leaked coolant into my engine and it seized up while I was driving on the freeway. Check engine light came on and w/n 20 miles the engine was toast. I was on my way home from work heading to the mechanic shop to have it checked out.
