Over the years our “family” car has been an SUV. Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, Acura RDX, then when kids came the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. We leased a 2021 Mazda CX9 GT and we were impressed. Three issues; less room, so so gas mileage, and terrible infotainment. However, the rest of the car is so good we just leased a 2023 CX9 GT. OK, size is the same and gas mileage still so so (22 MPG combined). BUT, infotainment and nav vastly improved. The car is beautiful to look at inside and out. It has good power. Handles like a compact car, quality materials, pretty much every option you need and then some. They’ve even added the My Mazda app for remote starting and vehicle monitoring. Honestly, if you can live with the gas mileage and a little less passenger and storage space you have to take this SUV for a test drive.

Exceeded expectations

I researched a lot of SUV vehicles in a variety of classes and settled on the Mazda CX-9. I wasn’t interested in spending big $ on a luxury class status symbol, but wanted a classy, sporty, practical vehicle with some get up and go. I knew that Mazda pushed the luxury envelope without the price premium. The Mazda met all those requirements. Our vehicle exceeded our expectations in every way. We drove 100 miles to Ocean Mazda in Miami to buy the car ($6000 savings vs local dealer), and rented a BMW X2 to get there (Hertz upgraded us because they were short of vehicles). On our drive home in the CX9 we realized that the performance, comfort, and features of our CX9 exceeded the BMW, even though I took it easy on the throttle for engine break-in. We’re only about 400 miles into our Mazda experience, but we love our new vehicle.

2023 CX9 Touring Plus

Had a 2008 Mazda CX9 and after 15 years I bought a slightly used (6200 miles) 2023 CX9 Touring Plus. Funny thing is the price for the new one all in was 40k and the price of the 2008 Grand Touring was 40k when I bought it new. I like the clean looking interior, ventilated leather seats and the touring plus with the black wheels looks great. Drives nice, quiet and handles well. Doesn't get great gas mileage at about 16-18mpg around town. I'm not easy on the accelerator but I don't drive that many miles so not a deal breaker. The engine sounds a little buzzy and not liking no touchscreen. I don't care about the third row as I keep them down all the time and use the extra room for hauling equipment, mulch and other supplies. It's just the right amount of space for me. Was trying to hold out for the CX70 but my old CX9 wasn't cooperating and the new CX90 was more money. Probably keep this for a couple of years and see how the CX70 fairs.

2023 CX9 Breaks

Car rides beautifully BUT, after only 1900 miles, the breaks became soft and would slowly go to floor when at a light. Dealer replaced the master cylinder and problem persists. It's been in the shop almost two weeks as they attempt to identify the problem.

Better than my Chevy Equinox

I had a new <3k Mike’s on my Chevy Equinox started having issues. Sold it and bought the Mazda CX-9 new off the lot. 3rd row will fine when the grandkids fly in for a visit otherwise with the back seats down gives more interior space. WeatherTech does not have floor liners for this version so I used another WT liner I had for the trunk not perfect but does the job. Good power, gas mileage so-so. Maybe ~300 highway miles on a full tank before I start looking for a gas station. No XM/Sirius on this trim level but for $5 a month I can run XM off my iPhone . Good back up camera, side warning alerts, left of right turn indicated on the side mirrors. I did add a hitch so towing under 3,000 pounds. Comfortable. They don’t have the Sport edition which I bought $33k off the lot, it only had 5 miles on it. Sits high enough to give clear view all around.
