Very happy with my CX-9 GT. Have put 1,500 miles on it and love it. Great ride, high quality materials, torquey engine (although hp a bit on the weak side with regular gas). Love the active safety features, Lane Assist works really well, blind spot monitoring is a big plus. Gas mileage is at least in the low 20s in mixed driving. Only complaint I have the tank shows DTE = zero when there are still 2.5 gallons in the tank! Update at 8,000 mls: All the above is still true, there a few minor things that are a bit annoying: Outside mirrors don't adjust with power seat preset, Nav system starts up a bit slow, A/C a bit weak on 90+ days. None of this is bad enough to make me regret my purchase though! Update at 22,000 mls: Still love the car, great MPG, handles really well, still my only downside is the Infotainment system that randomly crashes once in a while and AC/heating were better in my previous non-Mazda vehicle.

Now that I have been driving this car for a month here's what I have learned. First, I love the car and definitely made the right choice. The ride is so much smoother than the pilot or highlander which we test drove. The interior finishes rival that of lexus, acura, etc.. That being said there are some things you should be aware of. The rear lift gate, does not go all the way up. I'm 6'2 so the first time nearly gave myself a concussion. now i'm more aware of it. If you are short than this will not be an issue for you. The navigation & entertainment system are poorly designed. It's quite difficult to scroll through stations while driving. For navigation, you can't enter any address while driving, this means the passenger also. No android or apple play system. Finally, the front seats are quite narrow. I'm 6'2 212 pounds and I feel restricted in the seats. If you are a bigger person or just like more space you will probably not feel comfortable. The cargo space is ample. If you need a lot more cargo space than recommend the Honda pilot but the CX-9 works perfectly for our family.

Mazda Targeting Luxury SUV Buyers.

Mission Accomplished. Mazda is going after luxury SUV Buyers with a compelling price point. I moved over from a fully loaded Volvo XC 60 T6 R-design, due to reliability issues. MSRP for the Volvo: $55K MSRP for the Mazda $ 42K. This car has almost everything the Volvo had. When Cross shopping with other brands with three rows of seating (Audi Q7, Volvo XC90, BMW X5, Acura MDX), for the same level of equipment for a brand new vehicle, you'd need at least and additional $15K to $25K, depending on the make. The interior and exterior fit and finish will stand proudly next to any of the competition. The Drive and handling are excellent, and I am pleasantly surprised at the responsiveness of the engine. I have put new snow tires on, and have driven through a couple of snow storms with confidence. The low end torque definitely makes a difference. This vehicle is rated at 250 HP for premium and 227 HP for regular gas, and there is definitely a difference you can feel, especially for passing vehicles at highway speeds. I few things on my wish list: Front parking sensors, heated rear seats, driver's seat adjustment capabilities....but I'll gladly take the $15-25K discount for not having these. Just a couple of gripes: Driver's cockpit feels narrow for tall people and navigation system seems to reboot often. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the purchase, and will gladly recommend to friends.

Audi, Cayenne, or Mazda(really!)??

1 year update: 16k on the clock and the CX9 is as good as new/ tinted windows to keep heat out and had 3M self healing clear protection on front, mirrors, door cups. No rattles, kids like the back seat, all good. I am still impressed with this car... also interesting to see the Lexus concept SUV looks to have borrowed the design of the CX9 with the long hood/angled front and even rear of vehicle. Ok, so I am a car guy - I've owned Lexus, Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Porsche SUVs, Sedans, Vans, and Sports cars. So my last car, eg. the one I needed to get rid of was a 2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS Manual, I loved it - unfortunately it was a manual and too much vehicle for my wife to drive (it was a beast)... so I needed to get practical on the next car. I narrowed it down to a Cayenne, Macan, and Audi Q7 - Prices, however - were $60-80k for good ones... OUCH. I also looked a few CPOs that brought the price down a bit. Oddly, I ventured into the Mazda dealer as I liked the look of the new CX-9 and wanted to check it out. I told them what I was looking at and drove currently - they then showed me a new Machine Grey Signature... it was beautiful. Fit and finish was great, close to if not equal to what I was looking at, the technology was great (a major deficiency in the Porsche), and the price was Super Simple - e.g... "this one only comes in different colors, other than that - it has everything Mazda offers." PERFECT. I was so sick of looking at cars with endless options, packages, etc. The interior color, design, wood touches, heads up display Nappa leather in burnt umber is very classy and my first impression was - ummm... this is a Mazda? Much better than Infinity who competes in luxury space. Rear seats were great with a cool sliding function that can move the seat forward with car seat in it. 3rd row is... mehh, not to bad for an adult for a short trip and fine for kids... not a Mercedes 3rd row, but not a Toyota Highlander or Suburban either... somewhere in between. Exterior Impressions: Excellent front-end design and LED lighting headlights, grill, and tail lights. Paint quality, chrome, and wheels are top notch. Driving Impressions: Compared to my Honda Odyssey - it is great, sits up high and handles well, road-feel is good, and steering feedback is good. Compared to my GTS, not so good... but I did think it was on par with the newer Cayenne in terms of ride quality (believe it or not!). So all in all, it is great for a 3 row SUV at that price point without all the extra fancy suspension add-ons (which break). The engine is efficient and provides enough power without seeming to struggle or wind up too much (odd for a 4cyl turbo). Brakes are good and body dive is minimal. So, all in all - I will miss the GTS on the curvy roads and the gas station & shop will miss me, but my wife will be much happier that she has a nice option from the minivan. This will eventually replace the Odyssey in a couple years when kids are a bit older... and that will turn into a nice Boxster... Until then, I will be happy with the Mazda, they have done a fine job!

I have always been a Mazda fan, have had Mazda 929 and MX-6 while in college and the new CX-9 exceeds exceptions in every way. The car truly feel the interiors and ride is at par with any premium brands. I had been contemplating to buy a Honda Pilot or a CX-9 since last year, but wanted to wait for this years model. And it has been all worth the wait. Pilot felt bulky, unstable and plasticy. CX-9 on the other hand is top class luxury. Being an owner of BMW, I can definitely say for the the handling of a SUV, this is the best of its class for the money. Mazda has hit a home run with the new CX-9. Sporty and luxurious. Best compliment the car received was when a co worker thought it was a Lexus...(of course he had no knowledge of the logo's). Engine is punchy in the right RPM however I would have preferred an option for a bigger engine. You cannot tell you are driving a 2.5 turbo unless you hit the lag at lower RPM, which you would notice only once in a while. Passing and lane changing is a breeze and its a pleasure to drive. I would recommend this SUV as a perfect family hauler.
