With my family starting to grow in size, we decided that we could no longer work with the smaller Mazda 6. While it was a great car, it just would not work with two car seats. That being said, we needed a car that was big enough but we didn't want to leave the Mazda brand. We went for the CX-9, and we could not be happier with the purchase! The size is great, the third row in the back can actually seat two full-size adult males and be completely comfortable, which blew me away. With the seats in the rear all the way down, there is PLENTY of space for storage, which is awesome when you have two (or more!) kids! The car gets decent mileage on gas, and the tank is plenty big enough for me to only fill up once a week with a full time job, driving to daycare, school and doing extra stuff on the weekends and nights. The entertainment center is fantastic and works flawlessly. Overall I don't think I could have picked a better car!

This car is everything we have been looking for in a new car. When we decided to expand our family, we agreed that we needed a larger car. We've always been a Mazda family and really love their cars. There was no other option than the CX-9 when we started looking at vehicles. The third row folds down for a really large cargo area, and the third row also fits two large adult males very comfortably! The vehicle has a lot of power and we still have that "zoom " that we love so much.
