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.

If you like performance test drive this car after others you may be looking at. There is no comparison to the CX-9 drive in this class. This baby moves. Love the interior. Super quiet and roomy. And it looks awesome! I could use some better gas mileage though but still getting used to the cars algorithms. Weirdly Mazda thinks that you need 4 full gallons as reserve in the tank. Still working through that. But overall love the upgrade from my 2010 CX-9.

Build quility is very good but as with any manufacturer, nagging issues are present but not a deal breaker. We were in the market for a replacment vehicle of our 2010 Toyota Highlander which was a total loss due during a flood event. After narrowing our decision down to two possible vehicles (Honda Pilot) and (Toyota Highlander), we decided to compare the two based on cost and driving experience. To keep this review short, neither vehicle (Pilot, Highlander) overwhemed us thus the decision to add a 3rd vehicle to our list. While out and about on day, I decided to drop into our local Mazda Dealer to see and test drive the new CX-9 . Right off the bat, the looks were and still is an instant winner. Needless to say, the test drive was convincing enough that It lead to our decision to purchase. Compared to our previous vehicle, the CX-9 is night and day. The new Pilot was larger and faster than the CX-9, but it drove like it has wobbly knees compared to the CX-9. The Highlander was in the hunt, but the CX-9 offered more bang for the buck in comparison. We recently took the CX-9 on a 5000 mile road trip from the Gulf Coast to the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park. If anyone has any concerns about the preceived lack of power coming from a 4 cly turbo motor. I can attest that this trip easily laid these concerns to rest. The drivetrain performed without a hitch and in short. my wife had to keep telling me to slow down. 80 mph + is a breeze for this drivetrain. (Lol) Overall we averaged 24 MPG on this trip and if this dosen't sound too overly empressive then consider this. We spent nearly a third of the time on the road with a head wind of 10 to 20 mph. Combined that with several mountain ranges etc, traffic jams and accidents, and all things considered, I believed the mileage achieved was better than average under these conditions. The vehicle was comfortable and quiet with minimal wind and road noise.

Everything has been great. Love the solid handling. No body roll in turns, precise steering, and unbelievable acceleration for a 4 cylinder engine. Quality throughout from the exterior fit and finish to the interior materials used. Great design both in and out. Very quiet ride. UPDATE: As of April 2021 I'm still satisfied with my CX-9. Runs like a dream with no problems. UPDATE: As of October 2022 Still satisfied, no problems. So glad I bought a Mazda. UPDATE: April 2023, still no problems. Best quality vehicle I’ve ever had. UPDATE: October 2023, Still no problems. Runs like new and no signs of wear. UPDATE: April 2024, Still no problems. Very solid vehicle. UPDATE: October 2024 - No issues. Still going strong. UPDATE: April 2025 - Still no problems.

My last Six cars has been Mazdas, four of which were CX9s. I've found the build quality of Mazda's cars to be excellent. They are reliable, attractive, and cost-effective. I will continue to purchase or lease a Mazda car as long as Mazda continues build cost-effective and reliable automobiles. Now if I can only get reliable service and attention to details from their dealership I'll be a happy camper.
