The Mazda CX 9 has room for the whole family and all their stuff!
I love the Mazda CX 9 because it is a great family vehicle with room for everyone. It has optional third row seating and both the second and third row can be collapsed when you need to haul large items. The second row seats are adjustable and have their own climate control. There is a great sound system. This car is perfect for your long family road trips.

Amazing car and family loves it
Reliable, smooth ride, great space for family, foldable all the way down 3rd row seating, navigation, and sensory mirrors and rear view camera. Sunroof top is amazing for kids to go viewing the clouds. Speakers all throughout the vehicle. And USB access to charge phone.

Small yet roomy SUV. Small yet plenty of.power.
Love this SUV...its comfortable, 3rd row seating and not too bulky. It's quiet no road noise. It have get up and go. Love the leather seats and large touch screen. The heated mirrors are a definite plus as well as the heated seats. I would definitely purchase another Mazda in the future.

Family friendly and comfortable.
My Mazda has great performance. Since I bought it, I have not had any problems with it. I have not had to take my vehicle in for any type of repairs since I got it. The trim on the SUV is very nice as well. I will continue to buy Mazda in the future.

The Mazda cx-9 is a great family car.
I have not had any issues with my Mazda. It has great handling and it rides so smooth. The Mazda cx-9 is great for a commute to work or for a weekend getaway with the family. It is sleek and stylish and it is great for hauling all while listening to music on a high quality sound system.

Feels safe and sturdy
Very safe and it has a lot of space for kids. Heavy vehicle even when it rains it is very sturdy on road and doesn't lose control. It is very comfortable even the 3rd row has comfortable and cushy seats. Highly recommend this vehicle for families with kids. Even when 3rd row is up there is plenty of room in the trunk to fit strollers and groceries.

The locking system is horrible and the doors are horrible. You will be nothing but irritated with it.
I like the third row seating and the stereo console. I very much dislike the doors. They are huge and they are not weighted properly so they fly all over the place with the slightest breeze. The door locks are absolutely awful. I can not lock using the button on the door, it requires use of the key fob. Using the quick entry unlock button on the driver side is maddening. It only unlocks the drivers door and then I have to reach in and unlock the rest. The passenger exterior quick button unlocks all the doors. What sense does that make? If the car is running, I can't use they key fob to unlock the car. So many quarks that make day to day life with small children incredibly irritating. I will NEVER buy a Mazda again.

Mazda CX-9 Touring Edition
Can't fill the gas tank to full or it causes a sensor to mess up. Heated seats are great in the winter time. Third row seating is nice for long trips with family and friends. Gets decent gas mileage on long trips. Love the blind spot detector in the mirrors.

My maza 16 is a very well-made car and people will love it.
My Mazda is very well-made. There have been a few problems, but ultimately it is a good car and does a good job. It has enough space for everything that I need, however it is a little tight in the backseat and there is not much space in the trunk if the back seats are not pushed down.

It's cheaply made and you can tell.
It's quirky. The doors are not weighted correctly and they fly open with the slightest breeze. The doors don't lock with the internal buttons and dealer claims it's a safety feature. It's highly annoying. The driver exterior button that unlocks the doors only unlocks the drivers door but the one on the passenger side unlocks them all. It's not convenient when your hands are full and your kids are with. You have to open the driver door and hit the interior button. There is zero convenience in that "convenient" button. Even though we have the highest level edition, the passenger seat does not adjust up and down and it sits very high. I'm only 5'9" and it's uncomfortable because it's so close to the roof. There is very little I am happy with in this vehicle and I would not buy a Mazda again.

Review of Mazda cx-9 and some of the things I wish were a little different.
All the little things in the car are not durable. Visor etc... Does not have the type of horse power I would prefer or the get up I would like it kind of takes a sec to get to decent speed. I would prefer the vehicle to not feel as if the engine was getting to a point where it was failing. It runs good still but makes clicking noises that no one seems to think is a big deal.

Mazda SUV review, reliable and safe.
My car has so far been reliable with little mechanical issues. The vehicle is safe and reliable. I have not had any major or minor problems with the car. The car is comfortable except the 3rd row is not comfortable or easy to access. It is difficult to move the seats up and down in the third row. It is also hard to get the floor mats back in once they t removed to be cleaned.

Mazda all the way. Always Mazda.
Love the third row seats and comfort of vehicle. Heated seats too! Blind spot sensors are great. Sound and audio is excellent and touch screen is handy. Dual thermostat controls and rear controls. Adjustable seats for front passengers seats fold down for storage..

This car should be called ole reliable.
I love the Mazda cx-9. I have felt very safe when driving it. Each time I fill up it costs around $40 but it lasts a long time. It is also great with carrying large items and is very similar to having a truck. It has been a very reliable car with all the travel we do as a family.
