Reviewed: 2008 Mazda CX-9

4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD

Why the 2008 Mazda CX-9?

Exterior styling

Beautiful smooth lines. This vehicle will look great years down the road.

Interior styling

Very good quality materials used. Beautiful dash and controls. Leather seats have unique colors (two tone), which adds a great look to the seats. Door panels have subdued blue lighting that lights up the door storage pockets.

Powertrain performance

This is one of the smoothest and peppiest V-6 and 6 speed transmissions I have ever driven. You barely feel the shift points. Unique that the actual gear the transmission is currently in is displayed on the dash.

Handling

This is a large vehicle and handles like a sports sedan. After having 3 minivans for 13 years total, it is again a real pleasure to drive. Tight steering, firm suspension, no body roll on corners. Great overall

Audio & nav systems

Touch screen audio system (Bose brand) is excellent. Great sound and Sirius radio too! The navigation system is easy to operate and the large screen makes it easy to see the map while driving.

Why Not the 2008 Mazda CX-9?

Fuel economy

The AWD feature does use more gas than a FWD vehicle. Averages about 17-18 city and about 20 highway.
