Quality inside and out. Quiet on the road. Rides like a luxury suv, drives like a sports car. Even thought its only a 2.5 turbo, it has alot of torque and plenty of get up and go. Great safety features. If you never owned a Mazda, need to check one out.

We purchased this car used with just over 26,000 miles on it. We have since put 10,000 more trouble-free miles on it. It's much longer than our previous Outback, and I had to move the wheel stops for it to fit into the garage. It's wide inside, so passengers don't feel scrunched together. Because of its size and weight, it gives us a very smooth, quiet ride. The front seats are very comfortable, with plenty of adjustment. The acceleration is adequate, but the car could use a few more horsepower. The adaptive cruise control is easy to set up the way you want it, and the media center apps are fairly easy to set the way you like them, much easier than my wife's Audi is. It comes with wired CarPlay standard, but I easily added a wireless dongle to avoid plugging and unplugging my phone several times a day. The sound system is another bonus, as it sounds great. There is plenty of storage space except for the front center console storage compartment. I am the primary driver of this car, and although it's much bigger than what I was looking for in my search, this Mazda was the overall best choice of the other cars I test drove. My mechanic tells me this car will easily see me to 150,000 miles with little or no system failures. Now, the negatives: On highway trips, we are averaging just 23 mpg, considerably less than my wife's car, but it must burn premium. Factoring the cost difference of premium for her car and regular for mine, the cost penalty is small. The adaptive cruise control is very slow to accelerate once you re-activate your set cruise speed with no car in front of you. I do have to use the throttle to speed it up enough to not get honked at by the car following me. The biggest downside for me is that since the rear hatch curves down at the outside corners, I am constantly hitting my head on the corners. Even with the hatch at the highest setting. With what I know now about the pluses for the CX-9, I wish we had a bought a new CX-9 instead of the Audi for my wife when we were shopping for her. I feel we would have a better car at significantly lower cost.

The vehicle is fantastic...except for the tires.

The reason for a 4 star is that all 4 tires are cupped at 34000 km (not miles) .and my vehicle was served by the dealer as per schedule Including wheel allinement and rotation. That is less than halve the km I expected. And my dealer said oh well that happens sometime.
