Fun to Drive - 2007 Mazda CX-9
By percy98 - August 30 - 5:16 pmWe looked at the Infinity FX and Audi Q7 and decided the CX-9 was a much better value. Fully loaded, it was significantly less expensive than the other two vehicles. The handling is superb, brakes are great and headlights light up the whole road. Very fun to drive.

What a ride Zoom-Zoom with style! - 2007 Mazda CX-9
By LarS - July 20 - 2:06 pmThe styling inside/out is sporty, ergonomic with luxury styling. The fit and finish is as good as Lexus or Acura. A CUV with Zoom-Zoom driving experience is the perfect fit for our family. My wife loves driving it!! The sport tuned suspension, dual exhaust sporty sound and 263 HP V6 is a very strong package. The transmission is excellent in auto or manual modes. Great flexibility for the 2nd and 3rd row w/track seating. HID headlights are very good. The turn radius is excellent. Very quiet cabin at any speed, dual air and Bluetooth is a major plus. All the safety feature, ABS, EBD, DSC, TCS, RSC, 3 rows side curtain air bags and Tire Pressure Monit. Sys. at this price range, wow! No blind stops.

A Mom Who Wanted Style with Room - 2007 Mazda CX-9
By Laura - July 2 - 1:50 amThe process of finding the perfect vehicle was exhausting! We needed room for our family of 5, wanted better gas mileage than our Tahoe was giving us but did not want a minivan. We looked at the Lincoln MKX, BMW X-5, Volvo XC90, Acura MDX, none seemed worth the price. Then we test drove the CX-9 and fell in love with it. At nearly $6000 less and with nearly all the same options and even more exterior style, the Mazda was clearly the better choice. We love it.

Enjoying my GT CX-9 - 2007 Mazda CX-9
By Rob - April 1 - 3:26 amIve had my GT CX-9 for a week and have really enjoyed driving this vehicle. Does drive a bit bumpy due to the 20 inch tires but I love the handling on the roads. I also looked at the Acadia and Pilot but fell for the stylish looks of the CX-9 and Im very happy with my choice.

Great with a few glitches. - 2007 Mazda CX-9
By Mick - January 16 - 11:16 pmI leased my CX-9 one week ago after about 4 weeks of comparison shopping. I love the ride on this vehicle. It is smooth and comfy on the road, yet still manages to feel somewhat sporty, and drives like a much smaller vehicle. I had a Ford Explorer and the comparison is like night and day. I find the 2nd row seats very comfortable for my 60" frame, and the 3rd row a little tight for me, but my 56" wife thinks its just fine. My 2 kids certainly fit well. The drivers "cabin" is roomy yet seems to wrap me up more like a sports car than an SUV. The ABS and AWD worked wonderfully last week in our spring snowshowers. Finally, it looks SHARP!

A fun and practical big car to the family - 2007 Mazda CX-9
By neutro99 - November 19 - 6:53 amThe best feature I like? I have two car seats installed on 2nd row and just slide the 2nd row up, I (perfect height by the astronaut standard) can get into the 3rd row effortlessly! I dont think any vehicle out there can do this, even with minivan. As soon as you have both car seats block the rear door, the 3rd row cant be accessed. Amazingly CX-9 can do it! I didnt even realize this feature when I bought it. The only thing I dont like so much is the suspension is a little too hard. It is sporty and gives you good cornering but after a long ride you wish it could be a little softer and more comfortable.

A Family Car Done Just Right - 2007 Mazda CX-9
By Best Ever - October 5 - 6:06 pmIf you are looking for a family car with a third row look no further. This car/suv is awesome. It has better styling and preformance than more expensive crossovers. If you can afford it go for a model with the blind spot monitoring system. The blind spots arent to bad but I would feel more comfortble with this feature.

Retired Auto Engineers Review - 2007 Mazda CX-9
By Lateralg - September 21 - 10:56 amI picked up my CX-9 GT Tuesday, 2/14/07. Some observations: * I drive with my left thumb & forefinger at 7:00 oclock on the wheel. I feel no significant torque steer during WOT start. * Door-closing sound of all doors is that of a mega-buck limo. * Brake "Pinch-out" control, something I dont remember reading in a review was way above average. Pinchout control is the ability to control deceleration during the last revolution of the wheel prior to stop. As a driver, were rarely aware of it, but if we look at our passengers head as we come to a complete stop, we see it. * SST is OK ... much better than PRNDL, but I dont like it as much as the Lincoln LS version.

Horrible Struts, Bad Service, LEMON - 2007 Mazda CX-9
By djtorch - August 31 - 3:16 amThere are so many things I loved about the CX9. But, my gem turned into a LEMON. At mile 4000, I heard something fall off the car and its been rattling ever since. The rattling was mixed in with excessive road noise. Later the two noises were joined by squeaking and creaking like an old wood ship on the high seas. I took the CX9 to Mazda service in Vallejo at least 10 times for this issue! I"m not kidding. They tried to repair it about 3-5 times. No Luck! They replace the control arm twice and the struts twice and its rattling as loud as ever.
