I've had my CX9 for six weeks. I absolutely love everything about it. Just the right size, comfortable, all safety equipment. There's nothing I would do different. A great experience! I recently purchased a used Mazda CX 9. I love the space. It has the third-row option or a bigger trunk, which is fantastic. The leather seats with the heat capability are great too. The main dislike I have is that the gas mileage is not very good.

I have to say this is my first SUV, but I am enjoying it so far. I wish the third row had easier access and the seats weren't so high up throughout the vehicle. I'm 5'3", and if I sit up too straight, my head touches the inside of the vehicle. Otherwise, the ride is super smooth, and despite it being "big," it parks and turns (including U-turns) very well. Gas mileage could be better, but hey, it's an SUV. The ability to have kids in the second row and the third folded down full of stuff is great too, or just have one seat down I can fit extra family and still our stuff, great storage capacity!
