We recently purchased a 2018 Mazda CX9 GT after months of car shopping. This car does not disappoint. It’s a great value for the money. The interior is on par with premium brands, the build quality is very good. The ride is smooth and responsive, even though it has is a four cylinder, it’s very quick for its size. It’s good on gas and has adequate seating for a family. It’s truly a great car.

October 22, 2021Beautiful car at great price. Compared to Acura RDX 2019 and liked this one more
June 13, 2021This is a great SUV. All the comfort of a sedan, the pep of a sports car and big enough for hauling larger items!
January 16, 2021Great car and totally satisfied. I would recommend anyone interested in a family mid size SUV to take a test drive
December 24, 2020CX-9 had more safety features than the Honda Pilot I was looking at. In the end the CX-9 just drove better.
December 6, 2021Great size, Features, comfort and power. The grand touring & signature series are also exceptional equipped.
December 13, 2022I purchased the 2018 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring AWD and I love it. The engine doesn’t feel like it’s hesitating or trying too hard when going up hills, or quickly accelerating to get onto the freeway. The interior is luxurious: leather seats, heated seats in the first and second rows, heated steering wheel, the technological options and how much you are able to customize everything to your preferred liking and settings is great. It has the same engine as its little sister, the CX-5 AWD. This means that due to it being bigger and heavier it doesn’t have as much zip as the 5, but nevertheless it is not missing any power. It has a great amount of storage, especially with the lay (almost flat) seats. The third row lays completely flat, but there is a gap between the second and third row when laying down. Could make for a good hiding spot for little things when you do need to load bigger items. It also has a trailer hitch and although I haven’t used it yet, I have no doubts that it can handle whatever it tows.
