2009 Mazda CX-9 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by sethg

Handling

Incredible handling for a vehicle this size. Does anyone do it better. Maybe BMW with the X5 and Porsche with the Cayenne but that might be it. And neither of those has as much room as the Mazda.

Exterior styling

Looks much more expensive than it is.

Price or payments

With incentives at the time, the price was right.

Safety & braking

Great brake feel.

Color choices

Not a great selection

Driving position & visibility

Blind spots are awful. Not unique to the CX-9. A lot of CUVs are putting styling ahead of good visibility.
