Wonderful Mazda SUV! Perfect family car.
I have had no performance issues at all. This car is wonderful. It's so comfortable and spacious. The seats all fold down giving you plenty of room to store or move stuff as well. I love the Bose system and speakers in it. The sound quality is great. The back up camera is also a life saver.

Spacious SUV, smooth ride, great sound system, classy body and interior.
Love it. Leather seats with heat warmers. A lot of room even when all 7 seats are filled. Still spacious even with a large car seat. Sound in the car is amazing. Very clear surround sound and bass is great. Smooth ride especially on a long trip cross country.

Perfect family car- reliable and spacious
The CX-9 drives great! I have not had any issues with this vehicle. I love the option of having the 3rd row seating. Plenty of room for the whole family, and easy to put the seats up or down. I find the touch screen actually easier to use than a previous vehicle I had. The sound system is better also- it has a lot of power. The rear back up camera works great and is so necessary! I also like that the side mirrors tilt down when in reverse to make more visibility behind the vehicle. This is my family car I hope to keep for a long time. Comfortable enough for long trips and getting in and out.

Mazda CX-9; will buy again. The mirrors tilt down and back when backing up.
The Mazda CX-9 is a wonderful, safe and reliable vehicle. The leather seats are heated in the front, and extremely comfortable on long car rides. My car is loaded with the sunroof, leather, heated seats and airbags all around. As long as you take care of the car, it will take care of you. Minimal maintenance; just routine oil changes, tire rotations etc. Excellent car and I will buy a newer version when I'm ready to buy.

Very comfortable. Heated leather seats. Back up camera is very useful. Side view sensors bring added safety
Comfortable and smooth. If you have a long commute this is a grid affordable car to go to Work in comfort

It really drives so well!.
I love how my car drives like a car and not like a large boxy SUV! What I dislike is how wide the doors swing out when open in terms of parking next to other cars in a parking lot. Otherwise the car is great! Leg room has a bit to be desired in the 3rd row but I expected that.

It is great in the winter and was much cheaper than anything else we looked at with the same features.
I love how smooth and spacious it is. Love my navigation and Pandora.

Black, leather seats, 3rd row, Bluetooth, tons of storage space.
Love my car! Has 3rd row option which is amazing for a mom who carpools a bunch of kiddos! I love that my phone connects right to my Bluetooth in my right when I start it.

It has a third row or a huge trunk space but it is cheaper than a normal large third row suv
I have a mazda cx 9. I love the leather seats, heated seat ability, third row was a huge plus. I enjoy having nav, bluetooth, pandora etc. To use. I dislike the gas mileage, it is not very good. I wish the bluetooth connected easier

Mazda. Reliable. Long lasting engine. No gear problems.
My Mazda is very helpful in getting me to work and school. Gas is pretty expensive, however, I have never had any engine problems. It's a very reliable car and the only problem I had with it was the ac. Other than that I recommend this car to others due to its reliability.

Its automatic and manual. And only has 73500 miles for only being 4 years old.
When shifting from park to reverse and reverse to drive it shifts hard. Thinking it has something to do with the gear shift or the transmission. Gets 36 miles per gallon highway. Has 3rd row seating so very spacious, excellent family car. I got a customized sunroof originally cx 9 do not come with sunroofs. Hands free Bluetooth. Only has 73500 miles on it.

Pros and cons of 2014 Mazda cx 9.
It is noisy when driving on a highway. It sounds like the window is cracked open so road noise is loud. I like the rear view camera. It holds a lot in the back trunk area. The third row seats are fairly comfortable. The heated seats are great in the winter.

The negative qualities of the Mazda cx-9.
This car is fairly reliable but I do not like how it handles in the rain and snow... The back fish tales a bit and I feel that it could hydroplane easily. The visor on the driver’s side started to lose its springing activity so I found that to be irritating being that it was only 4 years old at the time. The last thing that the back right passenger side has a broken sensor that makes the lights come on if you lean on the inside of the door.

Not sure of an interesting detail beside what I previously wrote.
My Mazda cx-9 is a great size for a family or an individual. It is seats 7 comfortable and still has a bit of room behind the 3rd row for small suitcases, a stroller or foldable wagon, definitely plenty of space for storage when the 3rd row is down. Dual air conditioning controls in the front and another air conditioning control in the second row. Heated seats for the driver and front passenger. It has a nice Boise sound system, and a sunroof. It offers navigation and Bluetooth.
accountCircle William C on May 1, 2021
My vehicle is classy, family-oriented, and sporty.
It is a used vehicle with more than 114k miles. Body in great condition. I like the spacious interior and the three row seating. I like the moon roof and the rear privacy windows. I like the number of power outlets. Problems with front end, engine knocking, and brake noise.
