Would Recommend!

We ended up buying our CX-9 once we finished the end of our lease since we have enjoyed the car so much. Currently, our mileage is around 50K miles & we've only had 2 issues so far: check engine light would not go off (emission's issue) and a GPS issue. Our GPS could never locate our car and would show us miles away. The dealer was able to fix both issues. We love the way how solid the car feels on the road and the inside/outside look of the car. Perfect for a family of 4-5 since the 3rd row is tight.

Never knew Mazdas were so nice!

I have a bmw x5 but just had my 4th baby, so we needed a car that seats more than 5. After a lot of online comparisons, we narrowed it down to 5, the CX-9 was one of them. When we finally got to see it in person, test drive it, and see all the features it has, we were sold! There are so many features on this SUV so I won't list them all, but it is very great on gas and the third row isnt super compact like some other cars I've looked at. The price is very reasonable for what you get, and we already have a few friends with different SUVs that are now looking into the Mazda CX-9.

Very good value for the money

I've researched a lot the options on the 7-seat SUV range before buying this one. It is very stylish, despite being a big family SUV. On the road it is fun to drive and you almost forget you are in a big bulky car. The trunk doesn't have as much cargo capacity as, for example, a Pilot, but if you need that much space perhaps you should consider a truck. :) One of the high points of the car I think is the amount of premium features that come standard. Things like head up display projected on the front windshield, which is something that you only get on high end BMW, Audi or Mercedes.

Just love my cx-9

I love my cx-9...have owned it since new. Only one complaint! Where the windshield meets the roof contains real blind spots. Have to look around them to see what is to my left and really double check if anything is coming to my right..otherwise, I love my Mazda!!

Glad I chose Mazda

I love my CX-9. It is a good looking car, and the value for the price is great. It gives us enough room to sit my family of 8 and/or haul items when necessary.

Incredibly well built, quiet and spacious

Love the way Mazda makes an SUV. This is our second CX-9, the new version is the best yet. Great handling, styling and performance. I'd buy another one if Mazda switch to electrification.

nice car but has some issues

The car has issues with the exterior finish. I have minor scratches all over the car. I was told the it was poor owner care. I'm not a white glove guy but not careless either. The finish on my are is soft and scratches very easily. I was told that dark color cars may scratch by going through a car wash. Never before have I had an issue with dark cars. I believe the problem is with Mazda not poor care.

Most beautiful car I’ve owned

This car met almost all my needs. Looks beautiful, runs great, good fuel efficiency, runs on regular gas and awesome sound system. Only one issue I had, that was car play. This car wasn’t came with car play. Now recently Mazda updated radio but I had to pay more than $300 to upgrade my stereo system. Not good. I am not buying any Mazda car any more for this silly reason only. It shows that Mazda doesn’t care about existing customers.

Great car!

Pretty slick looking car, inside and out. We needed more room than a CX-5 and this worked out perfectly. Nice smooth ride too. Love it
