Who Should and Shouldn’t Buy a 2016 Turbo Mazda CX-9

the CX-9 is not an SUV that is designed for the off-road aficionado, as Mazda’s all-wheel drive system does not feature locking differentials, nor does it sport the same ground clearance as some other SUVs on the market. It also doesn’t have various traction selection buttons to prevent wheel slip, and the tires that come on it are by no means all-terrain-ready. So if sand, mud, rock, or serious snow are on the radar, you probably will want to skip the CX-9 and look toward a 4Runner in its place.
Another group of people who should avoid the CX-9 are those who need some serious towing capacity. While the SUV does come with an option to outfit it with a tow hitch that can support up to 3,500 pounds, the Mazda’s little 2.5-liter turbo motor and rear differential are more than likely going to hate you if you’re consistently hauling anything heavier than a couple of Seadoos.
