  Mazda CX9: The Perfect Family Hauler - 2010 Mazda CX-9
  By newmazdafan - January 4 - 5:46 pm

  I love this vehicle! Its sporty, roomy and handles incredibly well on slick streets. I drove it on a rain- soaked highway at 70 MPH, and the CX9 was completely sure footed. My previous cars have been a Ford Mustang, a Suburu Impreza, an Infiniti G35, and a Honda mini-van...and the CX- 9 combines all the best attributes from those cars. It is really, really fun to drive...is a very high quality build...and all the kids and their stuff fit inside. The only downside is the poor gas mileage. I do a combination of highway and surface street driving, and Im only getting 15 MPG.

  Impressive - 2010 Mazda CX-9
  By Aaron - December 30 - 2:30 am

  We test drove the MDX, Enclave, Traverse, Pilot, and Highlander. None compared to the CX-9 for price, power, interior quality, fit and finish. We went with Grand Touring with assist package includes Nav , Back up camera, The Blind spot radar is very cool. MSRP little over 39k. We leased with min drive off $1200 for $550 a month 42 months. That was $200.00 less than any of the vehicles I mentioned above. I also like the fact that this is truly a Japanese Car. Engine, Trans, and assembled in Japan. Oh and news flash there are not any US car companies any more. They have been Multi National for a long long time. Yes I know mazda is owned by ford..

  AWESOME Car - 2010 Mazda CX-9
  By Mazdude17 - December 24 - 10:36 pm

  Waited for the 2010 to arrive before I pulled the trigger. Was considering the MDX and others. Test drove many. I went the CX-9 because it is the best value. My wife and I both felt the MDX had no luxury value over the MDX. The new CX-9 is really nice! It handles it beyond expectations and has awesome features. I am 63" and this car was is very comfortable. Adding both the IPOD Module and Overhead DVD.

  Great Design and Fun to Drive - 2010 Mazda CX-9
  By FugieNY - December 14 - 2:13 am

  This car has great features and a beautiful exterior and interior design. When compared to Honda or Nissan, the interior quality is about the same or better. It has many standard features like bluetooth, leather, heated seats, rear passenger climate control and an ipod jack. The CX-9 has a nice firm sporty ride, smooth 6spd transmission and a roomy quiet cabin.

  Best luxury family SUV for your $$ - 2010 Mazda CX-9
  By Doug - December 11 - 9:30 am

  Fully loaded Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring. We agonized over which family SUV we would buy. Looked at Toyota Highlander, 4Runner, Acura MDX, Lexus RX350/400, BMW X3, Chevy Traverse, Honda Pilot, Volvo XC60/90, and a few others. If buying a car is a multi- variable decision (price, comfort, quality, reliability, luxury / convenience options, aesthetics), you absolutely have to check out the CX-9. Mazda has built the best car for your money, bar none, in the family SUV with 3 row class. Its a hidden gem. You will pay $5-10k more easily for a comparably equipped Toyota / Lexus, Honda / Acura. Its a great fit for anyone who wants a big car for the family but not as big as a Suburban.

  Good crossover - 2010 Mazda CX-9
  By mazdaowner - October 4 - 10:00 am

  We looked at Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Acura MDX & Mazda CX-9 when it seemed that our next car should be a family car. Loved my Acura 3.2 TL Sedan but Acura MDX was priced out. Highlander and CX-9 were the finalists and CX-9 won in aesthetics and functionality. Based on reviews, we didnt get the Navigation & wanted to avoid the 20" wheels of the Grand Touring, so got a Touring. Leather is OK. Would like better in-dash NAV since the Garmin 1350T we bought is nowhere close to the Acura NAV we had 10 years ago! Our dealership seems to have a deal with ADS(?) who will install a better NAV (Kentwood) with warranty. $1600/$1900. Yet to try. Paid $30,200.00 with 60 month no interest.

  A great SUV - 2010 Mazda CX-9
  By DKNY - August 15 - 10:16 pm

  Bought the CX-9 to replace an Acura MDX. Its a great value, thousands less than an MDX or even a Chevy Traverse with leather. It drives beautifully and the interior looks great with French-stitched leather and contrasting accents. Its every bit as roomy, luxurious and comfortable as the MDX, and looks a lot better than the current MDX, or just about any other SUV.

  Should be recalled - 2010 Mazda CX-9
  By albanian - August 15 - 7:20 pm

  Average interior. The plastics inside feel cheap. Seats are not comfortable. Lacks power going uphill. Rough ride, you feel every tine ridge on the road. The sheet metal body has light tin feeling. Definitely not worth almost 40 k sticker. The passenger seat heated up while the car was parked due to electrical malfunction and created a fire hazard. The heated seats had to be disconnected to stop the battery from draining. Dealer does not have a fix. I think this being reported by many owners. No word of any recall from Mazda. They are probably waiting till there are reports of spontaneous combustion of few front seat occupants to occur before doing something about it.

  What a Surprise - 2010 Mazda CX-9
  By Bryan O - July 3 - 2:00 am

  We had been looking, since July 2010 and covered everything but a Kia. We drove the Porsche, MB ML-350 you name it and we drove them all. I can say this was the winner by a long shot. Coming from a Porsche guy, I am glad we saw and drove this wonderful vehicle last.
