2007 Mazda CX-9 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by tedslezak

Rear seat room & comfort

Very flexible seating positions. Middle row adjusts so you can tailor leg room for the rear most passengers or provide second row with max space if desired.

Powertrain performance

Engine and transmission combination is smooth and responsive. Shifts are pretty much imperceptable and the engine has adequate power for most uses.

Controls and instruments

Controls are simple, straight forward, and well laid out. The only negative is the radio on/off volume control being on the right side of the radio.

Ride smoothness

The best characteristic, the handling, comes at some expense in the ride smoothness. I have the GT model and I could do without the 20" wheels and tires. They compromise ride and weigh a lot. Not conducive to fuel economy.
