Love at first drive. Long term affair

I’d owned a grand Cherokee (nice power, ok ride, poor fuel, poor seats) and a Yukon (great utility, good power, blah driving, aweful gas mileage). Test drove Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer). Dismissed Volvo and Audi on cost and reliability. No opinion of Mazda till I drove it. Instant smiles. Now, a year or so in. I still smile. The torque is delightful. Like a diesel without clatter and smoke. It pulls, it has superb throttle response in traffic and really nice midrange response. It does not like being pushed hard. It gets a little buzzy or rorty. Nothing really objectionable but it’s not throaty like a good V8 or rev you like a good v4 or straight 6. But it’s damn good. Seats are good but not class leading. But I regularly drive from San Francisco to Bandon, Oregon (8 or 9 hours) and get out with no fatigue. That’s a combo of ride, quiet and seat comfort. Would buy again without hesitation.

I bought 2 Hondas in 80's, two Acura in 90's, then a CX-7 Grand Touring AWD several years ago. Loved it! I saw the redesigned CX-9 a couple years back and loved the new styling! The wait was over last month. While researching 3 row crossovers I noticed the CX-9 had great feedback, on par with luxury models. I decided to drive a Grand Touring FWD, but then I saw and drove the Signature, WOW! I used a buying service to get a negotiating price, then went to a nearby dealer and was surprised at the deal I was able to negotiate at end-of-month on a new Signature. The Mazda CX-9 Signature may not carry the prestige or have a 6 cylinder like Audi or ACURA, but handles / rides / accelerates as well, and is actually better looking (in my humble opinion. I went with Black, and love the Sedona leather interior and great trim accents - very classy! Also surprised to learn the CX-9 doesn't require premium gas (like the older CX-7) and yet it delivers the 310 ft-lbs of torque on regular or premium! Do your self a favor and check out the CX-9 Signature before you buy a Lexus, ACURA or AUDI. You'll get a great 3 row cross-over, and won't see the same vehicle next to you at every other intersection...

I have a 2018 CX-9 signature loaner for a weekend while waiting for my 2019 CX-9 signature to be delivered. Once I received my 2019, I found many changes that fine-tune this great vehicle ever further. For example, the parking assistance changed from showing red bars warning graphic on the screen to a front facing camera view and a 360 view. The sides mirrors is now power folding automatically when you walk away from the car with the key fob. The map / reading lights change from push-able plastic cover lights to the airplane-style, separate power button and LED spotlights. CarPlay / Android Auto is a big plus as well! The 3rd row seat is actually comfortable for adult. The only thing I don't like is the small center compartment. Overall, this is a great SUV.

CX-9 Signature greatness

We needed to add a third vehicle to the household and test drove many vehicles including the Forester, Honda Passport, Kia Telluride, CX-5, Subaru Ascent and the Santa Fe. Overall we liked the CX-9 the best based on driving dynamics, power delivery, luxury look inside and out, and it’s uniqueness overall. We did not need a third row or a ton of space so it was perfect for us. 8/15 update: We still very much enjoy our CX-9. Our one complaint is the slow entertainment system.

Best mid size suv for your money

Overall interior has quality leather not sure on the mm thickness but it is not thin. On both the doors and seats which to me means it’s built to last. The only down fall I believe is the leg room horizontally from the knees. It has a coushin on the center counsel but not the door trim panel. Definitely not the same space as an American build. To me that is the only downfall thus far. The luxury is there and the affordability aswell. Driving in the cruise control mode is great, slows down automatically if someone breaks or slows down infront of you. This technology is new compared to the earlier generation styles of cruise controls. I have less then 1k miles on mine so far so good let’s just wait to see what happened under good care.
