I feel very safe when I am driving it.
My vehicle is very reliable. It has a low mileage and it has a smooth feel. The color is great and the look is very luxurious. I received a promotion when I was buying the car so I did not spend a lot of money for my vehicle. I also received a extra car key at the time of purchase.

Aggressive and fun to drive.
It is a really great car. No problems. A joy to drive. Only complaint is at this price point it does not come with a rear cover so when you leave stuff in your car it is hard to see under the cover. They make this an add on which costs almost 800 bucks.

Excellent value for the price.
This is my third Mazda cx-9. It is great value. For the price. The pickup is second to none. After shopping for many different cars, the leg room in the second and third row was far greater than any other car. Great car! I would purchase again and again.

Powerhouse four cylinder cx-9.
The cx-9 has a four cylinder engine and a turbo. It is surprisingly powerful. Why cannot more autos have this power? It gets 26 mpg overall, which I am happy about. Extra care was taken while making the interior. Very nice seats and interior. Rides very nicely. I am sold on Mazda.

Surprising quick and comfortable ride!
No problems. Very roomy and comfortable. Surprising get and go given the size of the vehicle. All of the accessories are well with the extra money. The ventilated seats and heated steering wheel are quickly becoming my favorite new features. The 360 camera view is also really handy and add a level of safety.

Great Mazda Grand Touring CX-9 2019
An excellent vehicle for long commutes and road trips. The extra noise dampening efforts Mazda made on this version really do create a quiet ride. Ample seating for passengers and storage for luggage. Front seats and middle rows are roomy for tall people. On the Grand Touring, we love the ventilated seats and heated steering wheel for the dramatic Colorado seasons. The lighted on-road display is extremely helpful, but it's a bit too bright for me in the dark, so I cover it when driving in the dark. This vehicle is an excellent option for road-trippers, families, and active people.

Why the Mazda CX-9 is a great mom car!
The CX-9 with the Turbo engine is a great car to drive. It has great pick up - even for being a larger CUV. It's also very spacious in the back seat. It fits adults and a car seat very comfortably. I also love that it has a great sound system and is very reliable.

This is a much have family fun vehicle.
Has everything I need and looks amazing. Drives and rides great. Awesome family car. I have bought Mazda's for the last 3 cars. This car is a great car for everyone. This car has 3 rows for 7 people and if you don't need that many people you can fold the 3rd row down for more storage.

CX-9
Nice ride and lots of get up and go, but had to replace a wheel bearing at 36,000 km and complete brake job at 40,000 km. Blind spot monitoring system works sometimes.

I would rate average to below.
Have had my CX9 since April and have encountered three problems. 1) When pulling out into traffic after stopping the engine several times has stumbled or hesitant then picks up. Almost have been hit and it’s very nerve racking. 2) Also doesn’t seem to be very stable in snow tends to slip and slide a lot even though it has Mud and Snow tires. Vehicle weight wise seems real light causing instability on snow. 3) Monitor screen blacks out. Have to stop and shut vehicle off for a couple of minutes then restart to get it back.

An interesting detail is the Bose speaker feature.
The car is small yet spacious, perfect for a small family. It is good for an everyday car and also doubles as a good car for short road trips. Very modern features and up-to date technology. It is a car with a luxury feel without the expensive price tag.

Rattles
The CX-9 is awesome...HOWEVER...I hate rattles and my CX-9 has a rattle on the passenger side. The rattle started below 1000 miles, so I question the quality.

Not bad at all but features underperform expectations.
Great features for its price range. Sunroof is smaller than competitors. Cooling seats are extremely noisy. Although it has apple carplay tech is really slow and unreliable including surround cameras. Front seats are narrow and do not have a lot of flexibility.

Is The 2019 Mazda CX-9 A Good Value?

It costs around 50,000. For a car that will last us several years I believe it is a good value for the car. It feels very luxurious and is beautiful to look at.

Our touring with incentives cost around 40 thousand. That isn't cheap but it is worth the cost for all of the driving conveniences and safety features that come packed in.
