I know its not necessarily a fair comparison but heres what I have for pros and cons of the cx9 compared to the others. I test drove a 2019 today.
Pros
Price, price, price, price, price.
Nice heads up display
3rd row access even with car seats in second row
Carplay/android auto
Nice torque
Interior colour on signature is beautiful
Great space even with third row up
Real leather in 3rd row
Really made in Japan
Cons
Brand recognition
Doors were solid but felt like hard plastic on door where it meets window
Engine sounds whiny when accelerating
Birdseye cameras are really low quality
Low HP makes the top end not as fun.
Interesting vibration when the engine is cold(not sure they all do this)
Door handle doesnt auto open when you put your hand in. You have to press button.
Really not trying to start any flaming, just trying to see everyones opinion. Also understand its a Mazda forum but happy to hear why you all chose this car over others.
I will agree that it felt more premium than a Pilot and Highlander.
Thoughts?
