Just what the SUV market needs

I canvassed luxury and regular SUVs and the cx-9 was a top choice. Besides the Audi Q7 there are few SUVs that give you a very attractive exterior, high quality interior, advanced technology, and most importantly reliability. The interior is roomy and fits 2 large car seats with no problems. The safety technology and heads up display is fantastic and it will be hard to buy another car without it. I purchased the GT model and would highly recommend it. It’s not cheap and creeps into lower luxury price range but you get much more with it. The value is there for sure.

Sell your car before the engine fails

I have a 2017 cx9 with 85k miles. The engine just failed. Mazda has a known manufacturing defect and will not issue a recall. Look up "Mazda CX9 coolant leak at cylinder head" Dealer has stated they are seeing a lot of these cars come in with the same issue. Roughly $8000 to replace engine.

Nav. Screen Problem

I purchased my Mazda CX9 in 2017 and it has all the bells and whistles. Unfortunately, my issue is with the Nav screen having stress fractures in the top right corner.....enough to make it difficult to read the clock. They said it was due to the summer heat but if it was glass and not thin plastic I would not have a problem. This has caused me a lesser trade-in value. I likely will not be purchasing another CX9 as I get a reminder of this cracking visual daily.

CX-9 handles as promised with great acceleration and stability. In dry weather, anyway. The tires that come standard are sub-standard for winter conditions and render the all-wheel drive feature almost meaningless. Exterior design is sleek and catches the eye. The interior is comfortable and thoughtfully laid-out. Good sight lines for the driver, but the entertainment system is overcomplicated and the lack of a CD option - even an after-market option - is a negative in my opinion. The biggest design flaw as far as the interior goes is that there almost no place in the front of the cabin to store anything, even change. There are two cup holders and a small, shallow armrest storage compartment. The glovebox would be small in an economy model. This is an SUV, not a car used only for short hops around town. It seems the engineers and design team were trying to hard to make the SUV seem like a sportscar on the inside. Failure.

Love it! Only reason I checked OK/NA is because I haven't had to resell or think about reselling yet so I don't know that answer.
