Mazda CX-9
The CX-9 is a midsize three-row crossover SUV that Mazda added to its lineup in 2007. It distinguishes itself in the segment with its engaging driving experience, premium cabin, and stylish design. Initially equipped with a V6 engine, the CX-9 transitioned to a more efficient turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder with the launch of its second generation in 2016. Inside, it offers a surprisingly upscale interior for its price point, boasting quality materials and an impressive range of active safety features, many of which became standard in 2018 and later models. On the downside, the CX-9's third-row seating and cargo space aren't as generous as some other family haulers. Additionally, its 3,500-pound maximum towing capacity also falls short of the leaders in its class.

2014 Mazda CX-9 AWD
The single worst feature about the CX-9 is the poor gas mileage... 17.4 mpg combined in my driving experience.

This is my wife's car and she was a little disappointed because it did not have a heated steering wheel and a compass. But not having a choppy ride like the Sorento she likes the Mazda a great deal but still would like a compass. Now my daughter is asking me to look for a Mazda CX5 with the 2.5 engine. By the way my son just purchased a Mazda CX9 Touring like mine.

I really like my new vehicle, 3 features that I think would be very useful and easy to add to the vehicle, 1) power-folding/closing side mirrors, 2) larger navigation system screen, 3) a real moonroof that covers the first and second row, supposedly my SUV has a moonroof but that's more like a regular sunroof.

I paid extra 3000 plus for the technology package however I am disappointed by it, it does not work as I would like it, my JVC stereo in my Honda works bettter and has more features. I wish Mazda would refund my extra 3000.

Overall vehicle experience was excellent. Some problems with the touch screen display being a little too small but other than that well made. Performance and engine power are fantastic. Zoom Zoom!!

Unhappy with the voice control navigation system and the front row cupholder door. Would have been nice to have remote start included in the G-Tech package.
