The standard touchscreen is rather small and antiquated (especially given Mazda's impressive new system found in the Mazda 3), and it doesn't offer access to smartphone app integration. On the downside, though, the CX-9 hasn't been redesigned since its 2007 model year introduction, and this aging does show up in a few areas. It also offers suitable amount of amenities to keep your brood comfortable and entertained. There's plenty of room for the family, with three rows of comfortable seating and a large cargo hold. They need them to haul the family and their stuff. But that's not why buyers choose seven-passenger vehicles. Despite its generous size, the 2015 Mazda CX-9 is fun to drive, with responsive steering and surprisingly agile moves. Mazda takes its "zoom-zoom" ad slogan seriously, infusing the soul of a sports car into every vehicle it makes, including its large crossover SUV, the CX-9. Overall, I highly recommend this vehicle. I chose the former but I can understand everyone has different interests with their vehicle choices. If you want aesthetics like soft touches and great electronics, not so much. If function, reliability, good pricing, and sportiness are your priorities, this car will be great. I also love the blind spot monitor and backup monitor. I place a premium on vehicles that last without troubles. Only standard maintenance and this vehicle runs like a charm. In fact, 50,000 miles of driving and not a single repair, ever. I love that it drives sporty, gets about 20 mpg combined gas mileage in the time I've owned it, I carry 7-8 people (4-5 who are kids) without trouble around town, and most importantly it has been incredibly reliable. Once you get past these issues you have an excellent vehicle. My previous vehicle had hard plastics and no touchscreen (or even Bluetooth) so for … me there was no issue. This vehicle has a small touchscreen and hard plastics in the dash. I'll get the standard criticisms out of the way first. The price I paid was excellent compared to similarly equipped competitors (Honda, Toyota). I purchased this vehicle used (Touring trim, 2WD) in 2017 when it had 24,000 miles on it. However, I am quick to point out that flipping the "sport" switch, changes everything! I promise this, you cannot drive this vehicle, and not like it!! I will admit that the turbo four, in normal setting, lags behind the 6 cylinder of the 2015. Hard to believe I've had three or these, and they still perform, and excite just like the first one! Mazda has really worked hard to get this model into the premium class of family vehicles. All I can say about that is WOW! I have about 4000 miles on it, and it's a great vehicle. My dealer made me a great offer, and I wound up in a 2018 Signature model. Unfortunately my 2015 got "t-boned" and while the repairs were perfect, I had gotten interested in the turbo, and some of the goodies Mazda had added. I'm ask to update my Rating at a time that is perfect for me. Overall, I must say that were I replacing this vehicle tomorrow, I would absolutely head for the row of CX 9's to pick my color! This is pretty amazing. The brakes are much better than the '10 - however, my wife's car is from Germany (!) and its all about braking. I knocked it a star for tire/road noise (common complaint on line) which is significant. It is a pleasure to report that neither of my CX 9's required a trip back to the dealer to correct things from the … factory. Otherwise it has been fine, and needed nothing in the first couple of years. Maintenance schedule presumes we all live in a dusty choking climate with a 4 month oil change - according to my dealer.
