Don't understand everyone's love of Mazda
Like the title says, I really don't understand the love of this vehicle other than that it depreciates quickly so you can get a lot of features for less. Wish we could go back in time and pay the extra for a Highlander. The CX9 is large on the outside (over 199 inches and a Grand Highlander is only 201 inches), but interior is super cramped. We only have one kid, so thought we were okay when test driving but small interior has proved challenging on multiple occasions. Also, the car has a crazy weak HVAC system and the car never feels cool - just have a fan blasting at near high speed (super loud) trying to make you think you are cool. Also, the lack of vents in the third row is criminal since the AC can't even cool the first two rows adequately. We also have the infamous oil consumption and suspension rattle. While Mazda's are known for their zoom zoom, you acceleration is lack luster unless you floor it past the pedal click to get full acceleration, but with the oil consumption, don't want to drive it hard and cause the valve gasket seal to fail (unfortunately our vin doesn't quality for the TSB). Let's just say, I'm looking forward to unloading the car soon even though there will be a large depreciation hit.

20 mpg
Bigger than my Chevy Equinox that I sold off to get the CX-9. Did not realize it is the last year for the CX-9. I got the sport edition new, $33k off the lot with 12 miles on it. Better rear view camera, good cross track warning. More room than the equinox which helps when I haul my gear to my hunt club 6 hours away. Only 20 mpg and I am not a lead foot. Driver comfort is fair. Better pick up speed greeting on a highway vs my Honda CRV and Equinox both of which I got rid of. I did put nitrogen in the tyres as Florida heat can be tough on tire wear. This level does not come with XM radio :-(

Great driving car
I really don't know why more people don't buy this car. It has "zoom zoom zoom"! Engine has lots of torque and car handles really well. It is a great value compared to the competition.
The part just fell off
The drivers side plastic rear mud flap/tire well over assembly fell off on highway. I brought it to the dealer and he said it happens all the time. It’s a $189 part plus whatever labor will be. But the part is not available anywhere. Seems like Mazda should secure the piece with more than plastic. Car only has 15,000 miles. How many of these things am I going to have to buy over the life of the car?
