Hard negotiations. I refused the $3k the dealer added for pretty useless add-ins. Got it below MSRP. Got it as it rolled off the delivery truck. $33k all-in for the Sports Edition. Old style gas cap and to open you have to hit the switch under the steering wheel, the Chevy Equinox was a better system. You have to hit the key fob’s little side button to open and unlock the car unlike the easy Equinox keyless feature. Hard to see the open/lock buttons. Sirius/XM not available at this level vehicle. I got the app stream to my IPhone cheaper than the Equinox set up. Roomy, powerful for a 4 cylinder. Getting 21 MPG. Nice 3rd row gives more passenger space than the Equinox, room for the twins baby seats.

Luxury alternative - $20k less expensive

Traded in a 2018 lease of CX-9 Touring with Premium. The signature is so much nicer and the 360 camera, heated and cooled seats and overall quality and design compete with luxury models like Acura MDX, Lincoln, Volvo and yes even BMW, Audi and Mercedes (I've owned or leased most if not all of these brands - right now our other car is a Mercedes). The car itself is great but where Mazda fails is the dealer experience. The sales process is like a used car deal and the support falls short. When I picked up my car, it was missing a bumper black cap and a second key. 4 weeks later I'm still waiting. But to put $20k in my pocket, I'll put up with it. The car is well worth the price.

It is a nice ride...as long as the engine works

It drives great! It is one of the nicer, affordable alternatives to German cars. However, the engine tends to break down around 80-100K miles (search the web!). It is a known issue and Mazda does nothing about it. If you do not have warranty coverage, you are looking at an ~8K engine replacement. The infotainment system is another joke; also a known issue! I like the brand, owned many Mazda, but this one is bad.

Car is an excellent all around SUV , across the board it excels. I would recommend spending time with the car salesman getting a thorough understanding on how the infotainment system works.
