2.5L Turbo Burns oil

Loved our CX-9 until it started burning a quart of oil between oil changes. No leaks just burning oil. Dealer won’t acknowledge there is a service bulletin saying Mazda doesn’t have a fix. Had to trade it out once it started misfiring and violent shaking when driving (probably due to oil entering combustion and affecting spark plugs). Beware of Mazda not acknowledging the problem.

Very comfortable and peppy. I am getting almost 30mpg on daily commute. That being sad though, we did only get 21mpg on a long road trip but we had a big rooftop brick full of luggage. After removal of the vacation brick fuel economy returned….. Zoom Zoom

Interior was well thought out, but the real fun comes from the driving experience. Although some what large, the CX9 is very nimble and sometimes feels like a vehicle half it’s size. Highly recommend.

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 :-(

2022 Mazda CX-9 Signature 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I have a 2022 Signature, and am currently 7 months into ownership. The short comings of this car are plentiful, so I’ll start with the positives. Upon first entering, you’ll be impressed by the seating material, the large screen, and the soft touches over the panels. That first drive, you’ll notice a surprisingly smooth ride, a quiet interior and a torque kick that might make you smirk. The shiny black panels sell into that luxury environment. On paper, the offerings are similar to driving a luxury car, but Mazda has done such a poor job at execution that you could find yourself often frustrated. The quiet ride doesn't last. Rattles have already developed. Gas mileage is horrible. Range anxiety is going to be top of mind given their decision to use 3 of the 6 meters in the dash to measure fuel range. The Bose system is pretty good, and you'll never forget you have a Bose because their decision to place a reflective trim around the tweeter on the dash will ALWAYS reflect - day and night. The heated steering wheel heats strictly at the 3 and 9 positions, with some warmth spilling over to 2, 4, 8 and 10. That would be acceptable, except that 3 and 9 are taken up by the steering wheel pillars. No previous car I've own with heated steering warmed up so little of the steering. The rear hatch opens way too low at its highest setting. At 6ft tall - I'm often hitting my head on it. This is my first large SUV, previously own mid to compact - and none opened so low. The adaptive cruise control lacks the ability to check beyond the set range - making it so that you can't trust it to slow down in time when catching up to traffic. The adaptive headlights jiggle in their housing. When going to a Mazda Service Center - I was told the bouncing around is "by design". So is the nausea that it could induce I suppose? The nice black panels around the interior scuff easily. Very easily. I owned 2 cars previous to this that also had that - and those scuffed up easily too, but what is going on in this CX-9 is on a different level of delicacy. When shopping, the CX-9 wasn't in my top 5. But after researching it, and finding out it was among the highest in reliability, as well as all the offerings it had - on paper, I had to take a look. I was impressed after my first drive. What I didn't know is that it's reliability has less to do with it not being problematic, but that service centers won't fix things or will attribute problems to being "normal behavior". Worse is that the features that put it on par with the luxury brands are not executed as well as, you know - luxury brands. It's all thrown in there almost to appear competitive, and get you to walk out with it. Months into it, after putting some miles and time into it - you'll witness the real personality of the CX-9 - its list of shortcomings would be 3x as long as a list of it's features. My opinion - move on to the next car on your list.
