- 96 Miata M-Edition, 2015 Mazda 3 Hatch
I drove a new CX-9 back in September, Chris. I had similar feelings.
It basically felt like a giant version of my 3, which I loved. The problem is, to get all the features and such that I want, it would be darn near 38k, and there is no way I can afford that.
I've been looking at 3 row vehicles recently, mostly because well..... Our family needs more space. The outback and my 3 aren't really cutting it anymore, and come May, they'll do the job even less well.
So I have a couple of options...
1. I've been in love with the ecoboost twin turbo ford flex for years. I can pick up one of those pre-owned for high 20's with low miles.
2. Like Chris, wait for the new Cx-9 to hit the used market. The great and terrible thing about mazdas is that they devalue quickly. You'll be able to score a cx-9 touring for 24/25 within a year and a half.
3. My wife likes the Toyota Sienna........ That's all I'm going to say about that.
So I have a few options, but I think smart money says ride the 3 out for a bit yet. Its only 2.5 years old and has 50k miles on it. She's running like a top and I haven't had to do more to it than gas and oil changes.
