- Sporty performance, stylish cabin, easy access to spacious third row, solid build quality, high crash-test scores.

Very Happy Owner - 2010 Mazda CX-9
By Bob - July 25 - 10:00 amI bought the CX-9 GT to replace our 9 year old Odyssey. This time I bought a loaded vehicle (only 2WD though) and am glad I did. Previous reviews are spot on. Performance is good for a vehicle of this type. Interior fit and finish also very good. I looked long and hard at the Chevy Traverse (nice but too expensive), Ford Edge (no 3rd row seat) and the Subaru Tribeca (cheap looking interior and just didnt feel right). MDX was wonderful but couldnt justify the extra $8-$10k more. Sticker was $38,315 and I put $0 down and $630/mo for 60 months @ 0% interest.

CX-9 Fan - 2010 Mazda CX-9
By CX-9 Fan - June 22 - 7:03 amTraded a Volvo XC90. I was a little leary about moving from european to japanese make. The car has been flawless. Feels very solid. Handles beautifully. Feels very safe. Quiet, smooth & powerful. I look forward to driving this car to work each day.

Really Like This Vehicle - 2010 Mazda CX-9
By Bonnie - June 13 - 10:00 amWe bought this vehicle to replace a 10 year old Ford Expedition. We test drove a Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Chevy Traverse. The Mazda CX-9 wasnt even on my radar screen but my husband suggested we take a look. It has the look and feel of a luxury vehicle.We were very impressed with the smooth ride, handling, and spaciousness. The inside is much more roomy than the outside would lead you to believe. We purchased the Grand Touring model with all the bells and whistles and still came in well under $40,000.Getting the same features on the Chevy Traverse would have cost us almost another $5,000. Thus far we have been very happy with this purchase.

Great Crossover - 2010 Mazda CX-9
By Zion Isabelle - May 25 - 2:56 pmThis is our 5th vehicle purchase. We owned Toyotas ever since but the recent recalls made me think about their quality and reliability. Ive always been curious about CX9 but never had the chance to test drive one. Once I drove it, instantly fell in love! The quality is above average. Interior is beautiful so as the exterior. Very quiet on the road. Handling is great. A lot of space even with the 3rd row up. Became a Mazda fan immediately. Thinking to trade in my Corolla for a Mazda 3!

Awesome inside and out - 2010 Mazda CX-9
By HMAC - May 8 - 7:06 amJust picked -up the vehicle from the dealership.Traded in our sienna minivan,came out to be one of my best decisions.Tried going to pilot but cant stand the boxy look, the nose looks like a bulldog.Highlander is ok but on the small side. I love how the cx-9 looks from inside and out. Very comfortable ride,very smooth transmission. Manumatic shift is great,makes it more sporty feel.20" is awesome adds on the vehicles handsome look,BSM is great too.Interior finish and cockpit looks classy. Definitely this mazda is a keeper.

Test drive one, youll be impressed! - 2010 Mazda CX-9
By CC - December 17 - 2:00 amI did tons of research on crossovers and the CX9 blew away the competition. We test drove the Traverse, Flex, Subaru Tribeca & Pilot. The CX9 handles like a dream, it doesnt feel like a big SUV at all. The safety ratings are great, which we experienced firsthand- we were rear- ended within the first month. The triple-H construction lived up to its design, the other car was totaled, ours fared much better. The CX9 has the lowest percent chance of rollover among its competitors, even better than the Subaru. Dash controls are intuitive, heat & A/C work great. Lots of room for kids or adults in 2nd & 3rd rows. Seat folding is easy (the Ford and Chevy were both more difficult). Test drive one!

On Par with my last Suv (Murano) - 2010 Mazda CX-9
By Tap - December 11 - 7:13 pmComing from a loaded 2005 Murano XE one thing I could not do without (key fob). This narrowed my search considerably. Needed the extra room and wanted a vehicle that looked slick like the Murano. Interior is awesome as well as the exterior. Front grill bugs some but not me. Love the led brake lights and the rear view camera is okay but could be a bit more detailed. The Navigation system is okay but coming from a hand held garmin it seems a bit clunky and non user friendly. The seats are not as comfortable as the Murano and the ride is on par since I came from the SE and not the SL. They should have went with Yokohama Pradas instead of duelers. So far Ive been very happy!

Love it! Love it! Love it! - 2010 Mazda CX-9
By Elizabeth T. - December 7 - 5:40 pmSo far this has been BY FAR the very best car I have ever driven. I love the blind spot sensor. That really helps me feel safe when trying to change lanes. It is very quiet and I dont get all the road noise I used to get. There is some much functional space w/o a lot of wasted space. My kids love it too!

Class Act - CX-9 Base Model w/AWD - 2010 Mazda CX-9
By SammyHagar - October 16 - 6:03 pmShopped and shopped - viewed and drove them all in the CX-9 class, the Mazda CX-9 was the winner hands down. White is the new Black when choosing color - The Mazda white is awesome when viewed on a sunny day. 60 months 0%, Owner Loyalty Rebate $500, $100 under invoice - pretty good deal - $3000 - under MSRP

Zoom all the way - 2010 Mazda CX-9
By leadfoot - October 5 - 4:33 amIve had my 2010 Grand Touring CX-9 since Dec 2009. This vehicle is definitely fun and comfortable. I live in the country and take the back roads at more than optimum speeds and the vehicle handles great. Ive owned a Subaru with AWD and that was a bit better on the handling. Drive 110 miles each day and my back loves the comfortable seats. Ive used the heated seats with no problems but Ill refrain until they are fixed. Few economy is great. I get 21.9. Not bad for cruising down the road.
